Our stay at Aura Hotel Baru was fantastic! The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, starting with a complimentary drink upon arrival, which was a lovely surprise. The landscape was just as beautiful as we imagined, perfect for our getaway. We made great use of the kayaks and SUP boards, and my husband and son enjoyed fishing right off the boat dock. Lorde (hope I’m spelling her name correctly) organized everything for us, including an unforgettable snorkeling trip for our family.
The rooms, especially the supreme bungalow where we stayed, were spacious, clean, and very comfortable. The restaurant has a wonderful ambiance, offering a relaxing dining experience without any rush. The food was both delicious and satisfying. Overall, we had a wonderful time and would definitely stay here again!

Its location. It was in a part of Playa Blanca with not so much boat or people traffic, although right in front of the property there were a lot of stones in the water which made for plenty of bruises and scratches. We also like the amazing staff provided by the staff. They went above and beyond to makes feel comfortable at ALL TIMES, it is really not their fault the owners make them work with so little resources, like no electricity, not working pipelines and so much more. But really Marthica and Yelitza were so polite, friendly and protective of us constantly. Yelitza's cooking and was delicious as well as her content smile and bright spirits, Marthica's sense of responsibility and professionalism was absolutely outstanding.

Breakfasts were great… nice options with fresh fruit and juice and of course nice coffe! Dinners were also very good. Location was wonderful, couldn’t be any closer to the beach!
Boasting a splendid beachfront location inside Rosario Islands National Park, the hotel is a 1-hour boat trip from Cartagena.

The staff were extremely attentive, the food was wonderful and always so fresh and flavorful, the room was comfortable and spacious and always clean. We loved the beach and pools! We were there during the offseason so it never too crowded. Transportation there was so easy and we loved having that included. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a beach getaway near Cartagena

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! ).

Contact from the hostel was great, they arranged the transport from my hotel in Getsemani to the hostel for 100,000. I had a driver collect me, drive me to Baru, where I was met by someone who helped carry my luggage to a boat that took me to the hostel - 10/10 for this part. I also had the same for my return.
The location is also great just a few steps from the ocean.
Staff was amazing, very attentive to details, always at our service!
the location is great, a bit far from the beach land entrance which is great cause the entrance is crowded during the day.
the hotel is great, great food and good value for money!
we loved it, much as gracias!
Top location, out of the most common and crowded fancy places in Baru. Quiet and relaxing. Swimming pool was really nice. Restaurant delicious. Day-trips to Rosario islands well organized from Casa Cordoba, really worthy. A place to recharge yourself.
