We had a wonderful stay at Sofitel Baru Calablanca. The hotel is new, well-kept, with all you need to spend several days in your little paradise.
The food from French chef in Calablanca restaurant was pefect.
The beach and pool facilities can accomodate all guests and you don't need to look for a sunbed or an umbrella.
The only minor minus - hard to find the hotel if you are travelling with your own car, no signs on the road at all.

Superlative in every way, this hotel offers the best experience in comfort, style, food, beach, in Cartagena. Not cheap in any way either but it's worth splashing out for.

Beautiful location with a clean beach, spacious rooms, and mostly very friendly staff. The hotel itself is impressive and well maintained.
However, two things were disappointing:
An additional 10% service charge is added on top of the already high room rates.
All four restaurants require reservations, and the system feels unnecessarily strict – often told “fully booked” while many tables stay empty. Since there are no alternatives nearby, this becomes frustrating.
Overall: A very good stay in a stunning setting, but at this price level, the extra charges and rigid restaurant policy should be improved.

I wish I could give this 1000 stars. The best resort, service & location I have ever encountered in all my travels . Sofitel baru ia a true oasis, you arrive by boat and there are no other resorts - nothing but jungle for miles. We felt like we were on White Lotus lol. The staff is unmatched , attentive & sweet. The resort itself never felt crowded , we would see maybe 4 others groups during the day . Always had loungers at beach or pool. The grounds & the room were to die for , the height of luxury . Would go again and again.

The hotel itself is beautiful. The food was okay but the worst part is it is in a secluded area. If you are going to relax it is perfect. If you want to experience the culture of Cartagena then you should stay inside the wall

The resort is beautiful. The beach and water are beautiful too. Great service, beautiful view from my room. Highly recommended. Cons? It’s Cartagena, it means happiness, music, warmth people, smiles. I know it’s a French hotel, but hello, the hotel is in Colombia. Tourists want to feel their culture. Employees are too serious and saying madame all the time sounds ridiculous. Not their fault, obviously it’s what they need to do. Music (of course only from the hotel) at the beach would give a nice Caribbean touch. Also, the cocktails (not cheap at all) had little alcohol) The rest, the hotel is amazing. I will come back.
