Hotel Calamari Baru Playa Blanca

Review by hotel critic

Nestled in Barú, Hotel Calamari Baru exudes charm with a friendly atmosphere. the staff, especially Alex, was warm and accommodating, even speaking English fluently - a rarity in Colombia. We savored delectable dishes tailored to our preferences, eliminating the need to choose from a menu. the rooms, though simple, were spacious and featured breathtaking sea views from the balcony, allowing us to relish the cool ocean breeze at night. the staff effortlessly organized outings like observing bioluminescent plankton and a day trip to Rosario Islands, all arranged promptly upon request. The small size of the hotel fostered a personalized experience, with the staff knowing us by name. the tastefully decorated bar and reception area added a touch of elegance, surpassing other accommodations in Barú. the well-appointed rooms included a comfortable king-size bed, ensuring a restful night's sleep. In conclusion, Hotel Calamari Baru stands out for its exceptional service, picturesque setting, and authentic Colombian hospitality. I highly recommend it to fellow travelers seeking a tranquil escape with a personal touch.
