I love how close the place is to nature, beach is amazing , the rustic cabanas are beautiful .The only thing I didn’t like it were the locals trying to sell their products in a way that can be annoying.

The only way to get from the arrival area to your hotel is to walk along the beach with your luggage or by boat. When the seas are ruff and there are no boats you must carry your luggage through the sand and water. Depending where your hotel is, that could be a mile. There is one tiny bodega on the beach to buy soda and beer and not much else. It’s best for a short stay.

Horrible place, instead of the sea breeze you'll enjoy exhaust from the dozens of motorboats and scooters cruising everywhere without any rules. They make a horrible noise all over the day, combined with loud music from each bar it caused a headache. Food and drinks are extremely expensive, we got poisoned by some food there being sick for 3 days.
Trash is everywhere behind the beach line.

Before 11 am and after 5 pm, it is beautiful.
Before 11 am and after 5 pm, it is beautiful. Between those hours, however, there are an overwhelming number of visitors and vendors. The water is full of so many people offering rides on jetskis, banana boats, tour boats, etc, that rather than smell the ocean air you smell gas. If you want peace and quiet you need to trek about 2 kms to the peaceful section of Playa Blanca.

Baru was a big surprise for us in all the right ways.
Baru was a big surprise for us in all the right ways.
Family of 3 with a 10 year old, stayed 6 days, 2 different hotels.
Beautiful white sandy beaches, turquoise colored waters and fresh sea food ( learn your prices and always check before accepting anything).
The family time spent there is unforgettable. The people are kind and respectful. The island is safe and after 4pm starts to calm down and at 7-8 pm it's quiet and peaceful.
Most people spent a day and leave, but i recommend you stay and do the activities. We did snorkeling and raccon as well as the Plancton (DO NOT MISS IT! ).

Baru is not yet ready for international travelers.
Baru is not yet ready for international travelers. The harassment from the local vendors borders on scary (from the parking lot attendants to the beach vendors). The beach is not clean to the standards of other Caribbean beaches (bottle caps, dead fish etc.)
Boat and jetski traffic are not controlled, and drive too close to the shore, so the smell of fuel is constantly in the air.
If you have been to a top-quality beach anywhere in the world, you will be disappointed by Baru. I hope they make improvements in the coming years.
This is one of the best properties on the island, because you're literally a step away from the water. The waters are crystal blue, and the views a once in a lifetime experience. You also get to know the other guests in the house because everyone is sharing the same common space.
Keep in mind every property on the island is very rustic, and you probably won't have much internet access - but this was a welcome break for me.
Our stay at Baru Playa Resort is like living on Fantasy Island - beautiful, remote, tranquil, & peaceful. The staff is exceptional, professional and friendly. Captain Edgar is a great boat captain and very friendly. Jorge, the owner, is passionate about quality service and maintaining the rustic island vibe of his beachfront resort. I am so impressed with Jorge and the resort, that I would consider investing in it!
We booked this place the day of-it was hard to find a good deal, and this seemed like it would be good for the price. The best thing about the place were the staff-they were kind and attentive. Also, purchasing the inclusive meals was a good deal, since food in the area can be upcharged. The staff also gave us the hook-up to some local private island viewings that were a good deal.
Jonathan was very welcoming and really answered any of our wishes or questions. The location was directly at the beach, had private sun loungers and overall the room was nice as well. Even though the beach can get quite busy with daily tourists, swimming during the sunset was amazing and totally recommendable! Also, the food cooked by the hotel staff was absolutely delicious!
The hotel is stunning and the resort is stunning with friendly staff. Unfortunately our room 66 on the private island was across from cholon the party island. They started blasting music at 5:00 am and went all day until 4. Not the vibe we wanted for our honeymoon. All other rooms lower than 60 should be ok for noise but just be warned about rooms 60-66!
The staff is AMAZING! Joseph, Jose, Luz, Reyes and Pantera took care of my little kid like their own, making sure he had everything he needed! We were staying for 2 nights and stayed for 5. The location is amazing with a crystal water white sand beach Max 15 people! And the food amazing, one of the best cuisines in Barú.
This hotel was a lot of fun! Olga and her colleagues are very sweet and helpful. The food was tasty and healthy, and I liked that breakfast was included. Try the arepas and eggs, yum! The bed was comfortable and mosquito netting around it really helped at night. The water was warm and the beach was very clean.
Isla mar is great, the place is quiet and peaceful. It is the Perfect place to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. The staff was thoughtful and always attentive to my needs.
The beach was private and the hotel is located pretty close to de aviary.
This property was recommended to me by the locals, because of the great food - the food is indeed great! The hotel is intimate and small, very cosy. The beach is nice, the rooms are huge. Most of the hotel staff very welcoming and very nice.
Great location right by the sea, away from the crowded area. The staff was really helpful and arranged everything we asked. The hotel’s beach was cleaner than rest of the beach and a good thing is that the beach chairs are included.
The location is just perfect 15 minutes from Playa Blanca which make the stay more quiet.
Private beach.
The staff was very good and helpful.
Staff were always making sure that the hotel stays clean despite the sand.
The hotel was very aesthetically pleasing we loved every bit of it.
Beautiful beach wonderful clean pool.
Relaxing and calm vibe.
Sellers aren’t as frequent as if you were somewhere else on the beach
Staff is very solicitous and careful to details. Everything was extremely clean: restaurant, beach, rooms.
They helped us to arrange ground transportation from/to Cartagena city. Easy check-in/out.
Nothing… Poor up keep of the facility.
I had to book another hotel for my wife and daughter
The bathroom was horrible and the smell
The flys all over the place wat not to my living standers
