Location is lovely, fab views and free kayaks to explore but the hotel really do have a captive audience. We decided to go ahead with sport baru despite really bad reviews on trip advisor. Maybe we should have listened!!!! A lovely place but a bad attitude from the owner made us feel awkward for not spending every meal time there... More

We spent four very nice days in Baru. The staff is friendly and helpful, the food good. It's a great place to relax and make trips to the nice beaches close by. It was our first stay of our journey in Colombia, and it was a great and relaxing start: We enjoyed the trip to the nearby village of Baru,... More

My husband and I went here for our Honeymoon for 3 nights. It is a very quiet, small and beautiful location. This is a place best for relaxation; however, day trips and activities can be arranged for you. Our unique situation is that we had my mother with us because she speaks no Spanish and isn't used to travelling by... More

We stayed for 5 days...way too long! The staff seemed new , friendly but most did not know any English. The beach and area photograph much better that they appear in person. It's very overpriced because you are captive to the resort's drink and food prices. The food is not worth the price charged even if it's expensive to bring... More

Myself and my boyfriend stayed her for 1 night to get over our jet lag following a long journey from Australia. The location is great, no real beach but a sandy area with lots of lounges and shade set amongst the pretty mangroves. The staff were friendly and the food was very good however very limited options. If you want... More

We stayed 3 nights , the service was not good. One night I waited 1.5 hours for my spegetti with some ground beef on top. The next day I waited 40 minutes for a coffee , while the server walked past me 8 times while serving the owners friends. I told one of the owners that the service was bad... More

We booked a day trip to Hotel Sport Baru through Giacomo, the owner. We left from marina in Cartagena at 8:30AM and returned at 4:30PM. The boat was comfortable, clean and an easy 45 minute ride to Baru.We were a group of 14. Upon arrival, Giacomo greeted us and made us feel right at home. His staff also provided excellent... More

We spent two nights at the Hotel Sport Baru in Dec. 2012. The resort is on the Baru Island/peninsula about 45 min. by speedboat from Cartagena. Overall, we were very satisfied with our stay, but I also agree with almost all the other reviewers mentionning several items for improvment. Now, on the Plus side: 1.) A very helpful and attentive... More

We paid nearly 300GBP for one night at Sport Baru, including transfers and meals. The room was clean but basic, the sort of beach cabin you would pay 20-30GBP max. for in Thailand or Bali. No WiFi. The food was fine, the beach nothing special, the staff helpful. No hassle, which was good, but the peace and quiet was ruined... More

We have not spent the night in this hotel (although we are considering it in the future), BUT there is a great day-trip option that they offer! You catch a boat at their office in Manga, spend the day in quiet, relaxing solitude, and head back in the afternoon. No vendors to bother you at the beach, no negotiating with... More
