This is such a wonderful hotel with amazing welcoming and helpful staff and wonderful food. It is such a stunning part of the world and Sabai absolutely showcases the splendors of the beach and jungle. Everything we needed we got, including a trip to the National Aviary which was magnificent. Everyone at Sabai was fantastic, helpful, bright and warm, and the property was just beautiful. The food was especially excellent.

Our fan didn't work, and it would have been nice if it had. I also think it would be nice if they had more snack foods for in-between meals. But otherwise we have no complaints.

- paradise just within natural beauty; we liked the mix of a modern and new set up in a natural scene - hotel is pretty new and - honestly - the pictures says it all, but seeing it live is just 10 times better - hotel is located on a private (!) beach, which is SO nice. It gives you 100% Caribbean feeling. Beach is clean and water is nice to swim in - room is big, nice and very clean - very good variety of food (could have more vegetarian options), nice quality - stuff is extremely friendly and helpful - overall: a really nice and romantic set up (even to propose, wedding venue, or else) for couples or a bunch of friends / family; if you need some time off to relax and enjoy yourself: definitely THE place to be - I couldn‘t think of a better place to stay after a few weeks of traveling around. It was perfect! Thanks SABAI!

- we liked all of it

This place was really special, a small and secluded spot that you can only reach by boat with only a handful of people able to stay at any time. Rooms were recently renovated and really amazing - so much space, comfortable, good aircon, large bathroom. Private beach which was as lovely as you would imagine, lots of beach furniture to chill on. Great food all freshly made and extremely attentive staff.

One of the only downsides was that you need to get a transfer from Cartagena which will add another £100 ish to the price, though the transfer with the hotel is recommended as it would be difficult and not much cheaper to make your own way there.

* The location of this beach and resort is exceptional! There is hardly any traffic to speak of, just the other guests and service staff. * The water was clear, calm and bathwater temperature. * There are day guests sometimes and if the cabana beds or chairs are filled up, you can just ask staff and they can bring out more. The service was excellent, anything we required was attended to promptly. The staff does primarily speak Spanish, so I could see transactions being more difficult if you don't speak the language. * The food was fresh and delicious. * Our room was cleaned daily. * We had our transportation set up by the resort and given how remote the resort is I wouldn't have done it any other way. A driver picked us up where we were staying in Cartagena at the appointed time, and coordinated for us to be picked up by a resort boat off the coast of Baru. (This was true for the return trip as well). It was a seamless experience!

We don't have anything in particular that we didn't like! I should also say that we are used to backpacking and staying at hostels, so this was a significant step up from that. Our room was in the older building (there is a newer one with more modern rooms) so if you stay there, it is wooden and has the requisite creaking/thin walls etc. The air conditioning worked well and we sleep like the dead, so that wasn't a problem for us (but might be to others if they are sensitive to sound).

Lovely tranquil location, genuinely friendly staff who go out of their way to make you feel welcome. Spacious rooms, excellent food available throughout the day. Great boat ride to/from Cartagena!

Not much to say here, I suppose warmer water in the shower would have been good but this didn’t detract from our overall experience.

The rooms were spacious, very clean, and well air-conditioned. The beach beds and umbrellas were perfect. The transportation was timely. Food was solid.

There was no hot water in the shower. You had to be careful even walking into the ocean due to rocks and coral. The ocean hammock was no longer there. There was no swimming/diving off the dock.

Newly renovated resort, located in a quiet spot on the island of Baru. Ideal for a short stay, there is total tranquillity and peace. The resort and beach are beautiful; the staff are friendly and the restaurant/bar offer excellent.

The only suggestion is to increase the activities during your stay so that you have more choice.

Private beach kept very clean. Food was amazing. Staff onsite is very helpful and attentive to your every need. many activities to do. snorkeling was an amazing experience

a bit remote so make sure you bring everything you need.

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!

It would be helpful to provide guests with receipts for each meal and beverages; and the final invoice in English. Provide more consistent hot water.

The most beautiful white sand sunset beach front hotel resort. So peaceful and relaxing. Not at all crowded. The food was excellent and drinks were mostly great.

First room we got had a noisy fridge at night. And they forgot to leave any toilet paper in the bathroom but the upgrade we got next day was amazing, modern & very spacious. Leaving the island the transport by boat & car costed more than the what is quoted for collection/arrivals. So that was confusing and we got charged for breakfast 2nd day and it was expensive for what it was
