“AWESOME. RECOMMENDED. Price/Quality!!!”
Location : 10/10 The umbrellas and beds for taking the sun are just for the people staying which is a +++. Place is located in a calm place. Not crowded as other places. Beach in front has not big rocks so you can dive with no problem. Parking is 35.000 COP per night and is around 10 min walking from the entrance of the beach. Staff: 20/10 Heineken was awesome!!! Totally recommend. He was taking care of everything, answered questions and provided insights of activities that could be made there. Cleaning: 10/10 Breakfast:10/10 it was really good and you can take it at some chairs and a table in front of your room. Awesome!

“Beautiful location. Be aware that you need to be a bit warrior”
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.

“Toes on the beach, no shoes no problem!”
I most loved how exclusive it is with only 6 cabins. The location it's further apart from all the fuzz and the vendors but accessible by foot. One of a kind experience as it has an excellent view of the beach and falling asleep to the sound of the waves at night. The quality of the beach it's excellent compared to other spots. I traveled with my 10 year old daughter and felt safe overall on the island. There's a guard present all night long. Thanks to the staffJeiner, Jose, Andres and the kitchen staff for the greatest customer service on the island! We kept coming back to eat, drink and chill during our 6 day holiday. You can get your tours from them and enjoy a VIP experience 😉. It's what i was looking for the toes on the beach experience, no shoes no problem!

“A great stay right on the beach.”
Great location right by the sea, away from the crowded area. The staff was really helpful and arranged everything we asked. The hotel’s beach was cleaner than rest of the beach and a good thing is that the beach chairs are included.

Absolutely fantastic stay. Everything was wonderful even before I got there. Jose is a very kind man who helped me get to the accommodation with their driver. Jose and his team were always very friendly but also kept you to yourself during your stay. The accommodation is like the pictures and whilst the place is small, it is exactly what you need. It is an absolute steal of a place as the places nearby are a bit more expensive for the same view! The food is very good too and it is relatively cheap. It was a great way to relax after 4 months of travelling!
