Sofitel Baru Cartagena

An enormous thank you to the warm and welcoming staff across Sofitel Baru. My wife and I stayed here for 3 nights and have had the most wonderful stay. The property is impeccable. Well designed, incredibly well maintained and pristine. The quality of service and food throughout is excellent. A number of pools to take your pick from as well as the beach. You do get some beach vendors on the beach itself, but not within the property. Rooms are very clean, spacious with modern features and fittings But what really stands out had to be the Wonderful service and staff throughout the property. I can't describe how kind and attentive everyone was. In particular I would like to thank Sandra and Javier in Bahia restaurante who on 2 evening made our stay and meal very memorable. That's also a great spot to eat. I also want to thank the super staff at Manglito food truck who during our lunch made us very welcome as well as Enrique who assisted us on the catamaran journey from Cartagena. The pool staff throughout also made our stay, always attentive and kind! Big thanks to all!

Cartagena is a remarkably beautiful coastal city located in northern Colombia. The historic Walled City is so charming with its colourful colonial buildings and warm atmosphere. Walking through the narrow streets feels such a magical experience, especially in the evening. The local people are extraordinarily welcoming, and the vibrant music fills the air everywhere. It is truly a unique destination that offers a fantastic mix of history, culture, and impressive tropical scenery. During your visit, you will explore ancient fortresses like San Felipe Castle, where you will enjoy breathtaking views of the ocean. Visitors are going to love walking through Getsemaní to see its famous street art. You will also be able to try delicious traditional dishes such as fresh seafood and fried plantains at local restaurants. Don't miss taking a boat tour to the nearby Rosario Islands, where you will discover crystal-clear waters and peaceful beaches. I visited Cartagena last year with my family, and it was an unforgettable trip. While we were walking near the clock tower at sunset, a group of dancers started a live traditional performance in the square. I really enjoyed the energy of the city because everything felt full of life. Cartagena is special to me because it helped me connect with rich culture and history. I strongly recommend visiting this vibrant place

Cartagena was the last leg on our Colombia trip on the way to a Peru. Sofitel Baru was a wonderful and much needed rest stop. The reception guys Luis Sierra and Osman Z. made it even more pleasant and efficient. They upgraded our room to ocean front which was a few steps away from the beach and extended our check out time so we didn’t have to wait in the lobby for our transportation. Homu restaurant was superb and breakfast was for kings and queens!! We loved it!!!

The Sofitel Baru is a beautiful hotel! The rooms were gorgeous and the views overlooking the water were breathtaking. We thought the food was overall very good. We enjoyed the atmosphere of the food truck on the beach, but thought the food was overpriced compared to other lunch options. We made reservations for dinner before arriving, which the hotel recommended we do. We would suggest going to breakfast on the early side — we showed up at 9am on a Saturday and it was packed. It took a few minutes to find a plate, but the food didn’t disappoint. We spent one morning on the beach, which was gorgeous. Despite it being a private beach, there were still people walking back and forth trying to sell us bracelets, offer massages, and ask if we wanted to jet ski. It was not constant, but it was definitely present. We worked with the concierge to arrange car transportation to and from the hotel. It was fairly easy and worked out well. The last 20 minutes or so is on a dirt path so the ride is bumpy. The hotel alerted us to this ahead of time, so we weren’t surprised. Overall, the staff is very friendly and it was a relaxing visit. We would recommend the Sofitel Baru and hope to be able to stay again!

This was probably one of the best birthday trips I've ever taken. The resort was exceptionally clean, and there was a very tranquil, relaxed, vibe the entire time. The room was decorated with a simple minimalist aesthetic vibe to it. The biggest takeaway was the service. Everyone was incredibly polite, gracious, and helpful. I will definitely visit again in the future. Special hello to Idelso our Bellman. Please extend my gratitude to all of the staff.
