"This was the BEST hotel in Baru away from the craziness of Playa Blanca. Great food(natural), friendly staff. Snorkels, paddle board and kayaks were a boon for sure. The dreamcatcher vibe was cool and they had mats, blocks and space to do our yoga."

"Un lugar muy acogedor a orilla de playa, dormir y despertar con el sonido de las olas es algo especial, los atardeceres son increíbles, el personal muy amable y atento, la isla tiene servicio de agua y electricidad muy escasos, pero está bien, para la estancia de una noche, el hostel ofrece tour a otras atracciones, recomiendo este lugar para estar en el mar caribeño de colombia, baru playa tranquila es muy bonito."

"Staff is nice but the property is in the middle of the beach next to a jet ski shop so the fumes come in .. very unpleasant.. it’s on the beach but is very crowded and noisy with restaurants next door blasting music. Rooms are very rustic .."

Just a short ride away from Cartagena, this hotel is in a premium location in Barú. The hotel staff was excellent and food was great. The facilities are superb. A great place to visit and relax.

2 nights-3 days. We missed staying another night. Great for a retreat escapade. Food was delicious. Our bungalow very well equipped with good amenities, private pool, sea view (beautiful sunsets).
We enjoyed viewing Saturn, Jupiter and the moon through the telescope at the club house in addition to the bioluminiscent night experience in Cholon.

This hotel is great. It's worth the price you pay for it. It met my expectations and goes beyond. The staff is very helpful and nice: Rafa, Leo, Fernanda, Fabiola, etc. The rooms are small but go with the echo friendly concept of the hotel. The delicious breakfast is included and in general, the kitchen or restaurant has a variety of dishes. The only dark spot is a nearby hooter making noise around 4:30 a.m. that could disrupts your rest and causes stress. After complaining to the management...

Wonderful overall experience. Sound proof rooms are a plus. Beautiful view of the ocean from my room. Beach front property and nice pools with hot tubs was great. Breakfast buffet offered various food options. Special thanks to Meredith from housekeeping and Luis who served us during breakfast.

We stayed in a corner Grand Suite! It was spacious, beautiful, equipped like an apartment, had 2 bathrooms and most of all it had the most amazing views, EVEN FROM THE BATHROOM!!! The property was beautiful and clean. We loved the pool bar and enjoyed sitting poolside listen to the DJ, eating the delicious wings and sipping on a cocktail! Even though our suite allowed us access to the club lounge which offered a free drink happy hour, we preferred the ambiance of the pool bar. The location was...

SUCH a beautiful place to stay, right in the heart of the walled city. We loved this place so much we wish we had stayed longer! Rooms felt grand, great decor, and rooftop was GREAT! Highly recommend.

We could not have been happier with Casa Claver Hotel. The hotel is a small beautiful boutique hotel located in the walled city. The hotel is so pretty. We stayed in a large suite with 2 bedrooms plus a loft. Our room had a washer/dryer and full kitchen (which added to the convenience). We were served a delicious breakfast every morning in our room. The hotel has two pools with one being on the roof. The views from our roof top hotel were incredible and I can not imagine a nicer roof-top pool in...

Beautiful and comfortable hotel. Their customer service was excellent and the breakfast buffet, wonderful! We were served by Clara several times and she was amazing!
I have already recommended it to my friends, and we’ll definitely go back again.

Privado was so cute and safe to stay inside the walled city. It is a must to stay here, it is walkable to everything. The best thing is that the walls are sound proof so you are able to sleep in and any noise or party going on outside you won’t hear. Staff is so sweet and so helpful with restaurants ect around the area. You are a short 5-7 min walk to the clock tour and downtown area. I will be returning back and staying at privado with my family.

If you vacation plans include being in a relaxing place, straying the day with a healthy and delicious breakfast (which is included with your stay), steps from the beach, where beds, towels, drinks are available all day, the Fenix Hotel is the place for you. They can pickup you up at the La Bodeguita port and in 15 minutes you will be in paradise. Soliciting from local vendors is limited, compared to a stay in Cartagena so you have time to enjoy the Sun and the cam waters of the Caribe Sea. The...

Really nice place to spend time as a family.
I would not recommend booking private transportation to the hotel. As long as you use their boat from Cartagena it went very well.

Fantastic experience! Staff was incredibly helpful, reaching out before the trip to coordinate shuttle service from the airport. Staff was incredibly resourceful and willing to go the extra mile. Would recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Cartagena.

It was a wonderful stay from start to finish. Service was incredible, food delicious, rooms amazing. Only downside was that I didn’t think to bring bug repellent. Mosquitos were bad early am and evening so we were unable to use our balcony at all and had to get out of the pool by 5:00pm. This was in November at the end of rainy season, so it makes sense that there were mosquitos, just an oversight on my part. Hope this tidbit helps someone be better prepared.

The property is very new, only about a month old so the facility is decorated very beautifully. The staff were amazing, very helpful, friendly, and
always gave great suggestions. The food in the hotel’s restaurant was tasty. Favorite part, aside from the wonderful staff was the location. It’s in the heart of cartagena. It is a very busy area but it’s still seemingly quiet. There are restaurants a few feet away in every direction and many places to explore.
