Sofitel Baru Calablanca Beach Resort

Absolutely incredible experience from start to finish. We couldn’t have asked for a better holiday. Perfect resort, beautiful beach and pools, superb food (including for kids!), with unparalleled service. We travelled with our neurodivergent child and everyone was very kind and accommodative. The resort is quiet, family friendly, and peaceful. Always space at the pool and beach, and ample staff to serve guests. The boat to the hotel was easy and fun to take, and a great way to see the area. Special thanks to Emily R at guest services, and Eduardo and Jose A with in-room dining. They made our stay extra special.

We had an unforgettable experience at Bahia Restaurant while celebrating our 10-year anniversary at Sofitel Barú Calablanca. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by Camila, our hostess, who set the tone for a beautiful evening. Our server, Armando, went above and beyond to make the night special. Not only did he guide us through an exceptional culinary journey with some of the most incredible food we’ve ever tasted, but he also took the time to teach us a bit of coastal Colombian Spanish dialect, which made the experience even more personal and memorable. The food, the ambiance, and the service were all impeccable. If you’re staying at the resort, Bahia is a must-visit — and when you go, be sure to ask for Armando. You’ll be in the best hands.

My wife and I visited looking for a relaxing tropical getaway, and the trip exceeded our lofty expectations. The views were spectacular, the weather was great - especially for those who like it hot, every day was 90° F and sunny - and the restaurants were delicious (we ate dinner at La Pérgola, Humo, & Bahía). There were also plenty of amenities and activities, ranging from exercise classes to culinary events, although we enjoyed most of our time at the beach and pools. Above all else though, we appreciated the service that their team provided. The groundskeeping was pristine, each morning there were workers raking leaves, watering plants, and scrubbing the walkways and surfaces, which created a beautiful setting. The guest services team was equally impressive, always going out of their way to make sure we were having a good time. The staff was friendly, pleasant, and extremely patient & helpful with our mediocre Español. While everybody was great, a few praises to our favorite team members: - Camilo & Paula from concierge - Jesi & Leidy from La Pérgola - Edwin from La Plage - Sharon from reception ¡Muchas gracias señores y señoritas, nosotros volveremos! ~Steve & Courtney

I had the pleasure of spending a few days at Sofitel Baru Calablanca, and while the entire resort was stunning, what truly made my experience unforgettable was the outstanding service at the Lilot poolside. Yon, from the bar staff, was an absolute star. Friendly, attentive, and always ready with a recommendation, he made each cocktail feel like a custom experience. His attention to detail and warm demeanor added an extra layer of luxury to every poolside moment. Equally impressive was Oscar from the pool service team. He was consistently professional, kind, and incredibly helpful. Whether it was setting up towels, checking in to see if we needed anything, or just offering a warm smile, Oscar elevated the whole vibe of relaxation and care. Together, Yon and Oscar embodied the spirit of hospitality that sets Sofitel apart. They truly made us feel pampered and valued—can’t wait to return

From the moment we arrived, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. The staff welcomed us with warm smiles and genuine hospitality that made us feel right at home. The room was beautifully designed, spotlessly clean, and offered breathtaking views that made it hard to leave.
