"Excelente estadía en el Hotel InterContinental. Todo impecable: instalaciones, atención y servicio de primer nivel. Un agradecimiento especial a Ricardo, del concierge, quien nos asistió de manera excepcional y organizó una excursión perfecta. ¡Sin duda volveríamos!"

"This place is nothing like pictures. Its very dated. The pool had missing tiles but staff was replacing and the glue they used stained all of our swimsuits. Hotel thought it would be ok because its not dangerous. Hallways smelled. "

"The hotel is esthetically pleasing. Everything is obviously new. Location was great. Close enough to the airport, and the action of bars restaurants & beach that was more of “the locals” beach…but still was set up with some plastic chairs to enjoy the ocean. Back to the hotel- the 2 elevators take forever, moving very slow between ground & the 18 floors. Especially during “rush hour” times. Specifically breakfast Buffett hours. No clear stairway-should you want to go from the restaurant on the 2nd floor down to ground. The room we stayed in was “a presidential suite” the size was good. Very high ceilings & again very aesthetically pleasing. I think they’re still trying to figure things out though with items that are the norm in hotels. There were no wash clothes, and very minimal towels to use. No towel rack storage, nor no hook to hang up any towels. Minimal trash can. Closet was by the door that u enter- next to the living space. Just small things, that we noticed that we would typically take for granted. (Maybe these things wouldn’t bother you )"

"room was spotless , beautiful hotel. The Tierra Bomba location did not have bottle water. They left refilled containers with Filtered water snd my husband got Stomach problems because of that water. Other than that hotels are gorgeous "

"Me sentí muy incómoda porque al llegar me hicieron un downgrade de la habitacion y simplemente me dijeron que eso es lo que había, mas o menos qje de malas. Servicio al cliente bien precario. Logré al final lo que me merecía pero habria preferido desde el principio que me trataran como corresponde tratar a un cliente"

"Just returned from an absolutely amazing stay in **Sofitel Barú Calablanca Beach Resort** in **Barú**, and I can’t recommend it enough. 🌴 If you’re looking for a place to truly disconnect, this is it. The atmosphere was incredibly tranquil—perfect for sitting quietly, relaxing, and soaking in the beauty of the island. The food was honestly **10 out of 5**. Every meal felt like a highlight of the trip. 🍽️ The staff were just as impressive—so attentive, warm, and genuinely personable. They made the entire stay feel special. Jesus, Daniel and Victor made my stay unforgettable! Jorge's cooking, the Chef at Humo, was visionary, precise, and deeply flavorful!! I would absolutely return without hesitation. The **only suggestion** I’d make is for the hotel to include the boat transfer from **Cartagena** to the island as part of the stay. Offering that ride complimentary would make the experience even smoother and more seamless. All in all, an unforgettable escape. ✨ "

"We had a great time. We stayed for a week and got to experience most of what the resort has to offer. We came with two little kids under two and glad we were put on the first floor and had a big family room. Moving around was hard work with a stroller because there’s lot of stairs and not enough ramps. The buffet food had lot of options to choose from. Some are hits and some misses. The restaurants had good food. My main issue was with communication. This was my birthday trip and I let the staff know during check in and asked what they offered for birthdays; I was told it was handled and during my dinner, no one was aware and I had to tell them it was my birthday. We weren’t told about the schedules or how anything worked, maybe it’s the language barrier. We had to figure things out and makeout what the pamphlet said. However we loved the overall staff from the restaurants to the lobby and overall services. Everyone is very patient and friendly. By the time we had to go the staff honestly felt like family. They knew our names and kids names. Really a great crew. "

"It’s nothing like it looks and it boring no activities no exclusive nothing room small bugs everywhere we have to pay every time you take a ride back to the city on the boat just totally aren’t there. I didn’t stay 24 hours there I was gone in 12 in the city."

"I loved everything about this place "
