Best hotel in Colombia, so beautiful, the beach is awesome!

The hotel itself is beautiful. The food was okay but the worst part is it is in a secluded area. If you are going to relax it is perfect. If you want to experience the culture of Cartagena then you should stay inside the wall

This hotel has been one of the best we’re I’ve stayed. The people and their service was excellent, everyone was so kind and attentive and really gives that extra mile. The facilities were amazing, the food was out of this world. I will definitely come back and it’s 100% recommended

This property is absolutely gorgeous, beautiful and breathtaking, super clean, friendly staff, great service all over, The breakfast was one of the best and very organized, The reason for the 4 Star is, The restaurants are good but not great and very pricy $$$$ for Colombia and tourists , The food truck was the worse Taco we ever had and two water some margaritas , wait for the price , one small taco was 35,000 pesos =$9 and meat didn’t look that great and was cold and the margaritas were like $12 each, We don’t mind paying for good food but not get ripped off, I tried twice to contact the manger but both times he was not available , we highly recommend the resort just watch out for the food and drinks

The resort is beautiful. The beach and water are beautiful too. Great service, beautiful view from my room. Highly recommended. Cons? It’s Cartagena, it means happiness, music, warmth people, smiles. I know it’s a French hotel, but hello, the hotel is in Colombia. Tourists want to feel their culture. Employees are too serious and saying madame all the time sounds ridiculous. Not their fault, obviously it’s what they need to do. Music (of course only from the hotel) at the beach would give a nice Caribbean touch. Also, the cocktails (not cheap at all) had little alcohol) The rest, the hotel is amazing. I will come back.

We spent our honeymoon at Sofitel Barú Calablanca and it was an unforgettable experience. The entire property is absolutely stunning — from the lush landscaping to the variety of pools, including a serene adults-only pool that was perfect for relaxing. We dined at all the on-site restaurants and were blown away by the quality. The morning buffet breakfast was a daily highlight: fresh, delicious, and with a huge variety of options. Bahía served amazing meals, and the food truck by the beach was a fun and tasty surprise — perfect for casual bites with ocean views. La Pérgola offered the most breathtaking sunsets, making it the perfect spot to end the evening. A special shoutout to the wait staff at the L'illot private adult pool — they were truly outstanding. Attentive, friendly, and always went above and beyond to make sure we felt cared for. We couldn’t have picked a better place to celebrate our honeymoon! Very relaxing

I’m in love with this hotel. I had the most peaceful experience I have ever experienced in a resort. Staff is so nice and friendly they approach you here and there which is great to ask if you need any drinks or any food. I loved the private beach and the pools are so beautiful. The spa is one of the best treatments you can get while you’re staying here. I will come back to this wonderful hotel with my family. This time I only came with my husband and we had such a great time. The restaurants are great as well. Room service is one of the great things they have if you don’t feel like going out to the restaurants. While at the beach they have kayaking which is included in your stay and there are also other activities like snorkeling ect that you can pay separately. Sofitel Calablanca I will see you soon.
