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.

Location directly on the beach and all rooms with amazing sea view. The sea had perfect azure color. Breakfast was good and served on time.
You can get to the accomodation only by boat from the parking place - from the parking place you have to walk approx. 5 mins to the beach where boat pick you up to the accomodation. The way to accomodation was free of charge and the way back to the parking place was charged (around 2,50 eur per person). The rooms were with privat sitting area ( terrace).
Prices in the restaurant and bar were good but everything took them a long time.

La atención y el lugar es extraordinario. Es un paraíso.
Wow this location is AMAZING. Truly it was a private beach all to ourselves… only one other couple there on our first night. The property only has 4 rooms total so you’re never going to have a bunch of people there. The staff were SO accommodating and patient with our lack of ability to speak Spanish. We only speak English, staff only spoke English but they always used translation making it very easy to communicate! I saw other reviews complaining about the food being overpriced and no hot water for the shower which seems silly to me after now experiencing how remote this place is! It was my toddlers first travel experience, and I was SO happy with the comfort Carey House offered. Is it a luxury hotel, no. But does it have everything you need on a remote beach location with PERFECT Carribean swimming and the best staff ever? Yes. We will be coming back!

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! ).

Nena beach resort AC, pool and beach beds.
Amazing Staff and rustic/minimalist atmosphere. From all the places, hotels and hostels this is for sure one of the best places to stay in Baru. Luis (the owner) and all the staff was really attentive and cared about all requests. Good food and breakfast. Lovely dinners by the sea...
The place is extremely rustic, romantic and cute all built in wood structure.
Missing some commodities but that's the spirit in wild Baru ;)
Good white sandy beach, local food and blue sea!
It’s a very relaxing atmosphere, with 2 private beaches, very clean, plenty of sun-beds and free of crowds and vendors. The room was extremely comfortable and clean, comfy beds, modern A/C keeping the perfect temperature and completely silent. Nice shower room and amenities. The restaurant was incredible, huge menu with traditional Colombian dishes, and the service all around the hotel was flawless. The hosts, waiters, housekeepers, everybody was very kind and welcoming
Had high expectations but mostly let down. Not worth the price at all. Pretty enough grounds, definitely NOT luxury or even really on a private island. Not when you can also arrive by boat and there is a town there. Buildings/rooms nice enough, pool relaxing and pretty, bartender nice but very weak drinks. Dinner was better. Not much to do, sons liked ping pong. They also did jet ski by a private group running those - very expensive
The staff attention, they were always concerned about our comfort, whether if we wanted something to eat or how was our meals, they even took the food to your room. They served our breakfast the last day before the average breakfast time because our flight left very early. Also, they were very helpful contacting us with someone from the hotel for transportation to the airport for a fair price.
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.
It’s a well thought hotel and as fancy as it gets when you’re in the middle of the jungle! The rooms are great, lots of room, the jacuzzi is a big plus as well as the Japanese style toilet. The mini bar is well stocked, food in the restaurants was pretty good, especially dinner with their coconut bread that I fear I will never taste again, so good 🤤
The hotel is right on the beach, so the views are beautiful. The water is blue turquoise.The staff is cleaning the sand all the time. The food and fruit juices are very good. But the best was the staff (Freddy, Ronaldo, Agustin…) as they go out of their way to serve and please you.
We loved staying at Olga's hotel! They were always super attentive to us so that we had the best stay. It is a truly magical place to rest and recharge your batteries. The place is amazing and the food is delicious. We can only recommend this place and hope to come back soon.
What a great stay!
Hotel grounds are very well kept and the eco-luxury concept is perfectly executed.
The treehouse we stayed in was very nice — spacious and private. Our room had a nice terrace, with sun beds and good AC.
The staff and service were exceptional.
The property is located beach front and the view is spectacular. The staff were very friendly and helpful, they even hand carried our luggage from pick up point to hotel and versa. Food and drink were of good quality so there is no need to eat somewhere else.
Beautiful secluded and clean hotel with a private beach - perfect to unplug from the world and enjoy silence for a couple of days. The ocean is amazing! Yoga mats, paddle boards, canoes, snorkel all for free - big like! Plankton tour highly recommended!
Great customer service the staff were very attentive and friendly. It's a lovely hotel I would recommend. The boat tour to visit other islands I would recommend if you wanted to party or experience something different, it is bespoke so up to you.
The hotel is small but in a great location, and the staff was wonderful. They made us feel welcome, also, the food was good. Johan, the manager, was very helpful! Great place to get tours to discover the multiple islands.
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
Amazing location just in front of a wonderful beach. Not too many people compared to the rest of Baru. The people are very kind and ready to help you at all times.
