Baru Island Mountain Vacations

Casa del Arzobispado is a stunning boutique hotel in Cartagena’s old city, full of charm and history. My room had beautiful stone walls and a vaulted ceiling, and the restaurant was excellent for breakfast and dinner. But the true highlight was the spa — and especially Liceth, the massage therapist. Her skill is unbelievable; every session left me completely relaxed. She truly has “magic hands.” I’d return to Cartagena just to stay here and book more massages with her!

Casa Carolina is a beautiful boutique hotel in the heart of Cartagena’s Old City. The location is unbeatable—you can walk everywhere and never need an Uber. With only 15 rooms, it feels like staying in a private home, and the pool is gorgeous. The staff and service were amazing—truly one of the highlights of our stay. A few things to note: the wellness-style menu is healthy but doesn’t offer many snack options. Street performers outside (especially drummers) can be very loud at night, though they’re usually gone by 11 PM. At checkout, they asked for a 10% tip on the entire stay, which felt a little uncomfortable—we only tipped on food and beverage. Overall, the pros far outweigh the cons. We would definitely stay again for the location, the charm, and the incredible staff.

The property could use some maintenance and fixing up.

Beautiful building in the colonial area, perfectly curated in every detail. Excellent staff and great location!

Clean rooms, excellent staff

YASON WAS AMAZING AT THE DOORBELL SERVICE

An Unforgettable Luxury Escape in Barú! From the moment we arrived at Sofitel Barú Cartagena, everything felt like pure paradise. The staff were exceptionally warm, attentive, and made every interaction feel personal. The resort itself is stunning — elegant architecture, lush tropical surroundings, and one of the most breathtaking beachfronts I’ve ever seen. Our room was immaculate, beautifully designed, and offered gorgeous ocean views that made every sunrise magical. The dining experience was phenomenal — from the breakfast buffet to the fine dining options, every meal was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The pools, spa, and activities were all world-class, and I loved how the resort perfectly balances relaxation and adventure. Whether lounging by the infinity pool with a cocktail or exploring the private beach, every moment felt special. I can’t say enough about the service — every staff member went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. Sofitel Barú is easily one of the best luxury resorts in Colombia, and I would return in a heartbeat. Highly recommended for anyone seeking elegance, comfort, and exceptional hospitality in a tropical setting. 🌴✨
