The lights on the beach are lovely at night. The staff is very nice and accommodating. The rooms are pretty basic for the price, with no comfortable sitting areas and no screens on the windows, so you need to run the AC at all times and can't leave the widows open to hear the ocean, lest you get bitten by mosquitoes. The beds are overly soft. The fact the room includes day use of the beach is nice, but the beach and pool do quite crowded with day pass users. Ocean access is tricky due to washed up coral and sea grass. Food is just OK for the price, although maybe understandable since the resort is remote. ##### Krista Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katia 7 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### SABAI is gorgeous! This property is gorgeous. Being steps from the water (beach) or pool was just what we needed to start 2025 relaxed!

I feel super fortunate to have found this beautiful, relaxing, peaceful spot right in the Caribbean…….the perfect getaway from the business of Cartagena. The staff is welcoming and friendly, always available to accommodate. I was solo on this trip and loved it; there were also many families and couples enjoying a romantic getaway. This place if just perfect for anyone looking for tranquility and the beauty of the Caribbean. ##### Kimberly Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Paul 23 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Disappointing We chose SABAI to end our trip for the peace and quiet it advertises. However, on one of the days we stayed here, the hotel accepted an exceptionally large group of really loud partygoers that really ruined the experience. I talked to the manager and explained my discontent, which she understood, and offered a discount. At checkout, the discount was forgotten, and I ended up having to argue with staff who gave us 20% off of one night, which is peanuts. Very disappointing. I hope that management realizes that booking large groups at the expense of the quality of guests is unacceptable and cheap. On the bright side, staff were wonderful and the place is great. Thank you to Miri and Juan and all the other staff members that were lovely. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/D4D17B62DC7B1F0ED7A8D0B8F2E0131BDA428DCC1711213163810.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4F2006849E3C1A4F33AF740E1B7EC12CA51F54341711213375786.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/B4D83B5ED2095F020EBD48EA978DFF05B52AA8A21711213373826.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/AB02551C5657A726F1736BF18901F2FA5C0AD6F71711213374740.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Paul Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### SARA 24 Jan 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Not recommended Good location, however the service is lacking especially for the money they charge. I did not assume resort level service but I also expected better service. The host either caters better to day trippers or to non- solo female travelers. Either way, I felt taken advantage of. I am fortunate to have visited dozens of countries, including remote, and from the day I booked the reservation, the ball was dropped. I had to plea at times for communication and had this been a refundable fare, I would have cancelled. Even while on-site, I continued to plea, via written messages for communication. A couple of people onsite did attend to my situation but even that felt like a negotiation and that I wad being scammed. So, yes, I was taken advantage of, perhaps "scammed" - and no, I would never return or recommend this location. Plenty of others around if you do a bit of research. I am in the process of capturing my travels through Colombia in a blog where this experience will be further detailed along with photos.

Når du betaler såpass mye for et rom, og man er fullstendig avhengig av hotellet (finnes ingen butikker i nærheten) så bør i det minste drikkevann være noe som tilbys gjestene gratis. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter 4 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Eine sehr ruhige und entspannte Anlage, perfekter Pool optimal für ein paar Tage zum entspannen. ##### Peter Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Jose Luis 16 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Todo muy bien, sólo el costo de transporte para llegar, es caro ##### Jose Luis Stayed 1 night in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marcos 31 Mar 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nos encantó la tranquilidad, que no haya vendedores constantes y la exclusividad qué hay para los huéspedes.

Der Aufenthalt kann schnell langweilig werden, weil man fast nichts machen kann außer am Strand liegen und baden. Sie haben aber schöne Hängematten und Schaukeln im Wasser. ##### Marion Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Philippa 5 Apr 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities My husband I visited Baru Playa Eco-Beach resort in March and simply could not have been more pleased with our choice. We read all the reviews before booking, found them to be mostly true BUT for us we LOVED LOVED LOVED it. A real piece of heaven! To reach the resort you need to take a boat, we were coming from Catagena and contacted the resort (by whatsapp NOT expedia or phone) and they arranged for pick up by taxi from our hotel. It worked really well and we were in the car for an hour until then in a small boat for 15 mins. Once we got there we did not leave! We ate all our meals there (we had paid full board but it was hard for me to understand the half board). We did read the reviews and took two big bottles of water for cleaning our teeth and some snacks just in case - which honestly I am not sure we needed. The food was exceptional for my husband. He enjoyed extremely fresh fish in some form for most meals. For me, a bit harder as I am a vegetarian, but the chef and everyone there did there best to look after me - and the food I got was very nice but I definately had to be flexible. The place was just what we needed - very quiet, peaceful and so restful. The staff were INCREDIBLY nice. There were a couple of dogs that were very, very friendly - and I fell in love with them! We read books and sat on the beach beds and took the rowing boats out. The boat ride back took us through the mangroves after tearful goodbyes to the staff who were friends now! ##### Philippa Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stuart 15 Mar 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Wonderful Private Beach Paradise The resort is very cozy and well maintained the beach is immaculate and the ocean is clean. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. I recommend this resort is anyone who is looking to get away to a private quite beautiful beach paradise. ##### Stuart Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### bruno 26 Jan 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Repos, repos Vraiment un endroit pour décompresser, la cuisine en plus est délicieuse. Ne louez pas de voiture, pour 50€, un taxi vient vous chercher à l'aéroport pour vous amener au bateau, et ensuite vous débarquer au ponton de l'hotel ##### bruno Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Wilman Augusto 12 Jan 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Estadía buena..pero pudo ser mejor Buena..faltó un poco de música y el transporte de ida se demoró en salir ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/BBEE86C0292151E3394231D50F7B3609411725861641963635294.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Wilman Augusto Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Prabhakar 11 Nov 2021 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Not fancy but very friendly and helpful staff.

If you are looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of the more crowded places and are looking for some peace and quiet this is the place. Not too many activities to do, there are kayaks, volleyball and a few other activities (for purchase) but just getting away with no itinerary and not being bothered with vendors trying to sell to you all day, this is the place. I recommend bringing bottled water and snacks to last your stay, although the food here is AMAZING and portions are decent. The water is amazing too, in the early morning it is as smooth as a piece of glass and depending on the weather out in the Gulf, you can have some decent waves. They rake the beach each morning in order to provide a clean start to the day, meaning all of the seaweed that washes ashore gets picked up. Speaking of the beach, it appeared this resort had the biggest beach in the area. I honestly probably won’t come back, just because there is so much more to see and do in Colombia, but I 100% recommend if you want time away from everything and/or spend quality time with your family or alone. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/579EDA3FD58703D6E17BF720025507116CF86F951634315858420.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0C068831C991115D855B2B23E9DEA7E303E62C491634315854035.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1077A6B773075259476B3BA81CA58C614C2FC15D1634315855527.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2021 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels in Malta](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Malta.d111.Hotel-Destinations) > > [Hotels in Galway City Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Galway-City-Centre-Galway-Hotels.0-n6057027-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Maka Hotel Boutique](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tulum-Hotels-MAKA-HOSTAL-BOUTIQUE.h39409336.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Alexanderplatz](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alexanderplatz-Hotels.0-l508242-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Carian Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kalymnos-Hotels-Carian-Hotel.h24253895.Hotel-Information) > > [The People Paris Marais](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paris-Hotels-The-People-Paris-Marais.h76556003.Hotel-Information) > > [Burnside Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stratford-Upon-Avon-Hotels-Burnside-Hotel.h35003979.Hotel-Information) > > [The Oberoi Beach Resort, Lombok](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tanjung-Hotels-The-Oberoi-Beach-Resort.h523711.Hotel-Information) > > [Scarabeo Suites & Villas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Parga-Hotels-Scarabeo-Hotel-Villas-Parga.h66143727.Hotel-Information) > > [5 Star Hotels in Dorchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Dorchester-Hotels.s50-0-d182509.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Cottages Isle of Skye](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Isle-Of-Skye-Cottages.d6131920-aaCottages.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Exclusive 3 bedroom villa with private heated pool, villa Eleana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rhodes-Hotels-Exclusive-3-Bedroom-Villa-With-Private-Heated-Pool.h34713687.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Manchester (MAN) to Mumbai (BOM)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/man/bom/manchester-to-mumbai) > > [Flights from Birmingham (BHX) to Wroclaw (WRO)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/bhx/wro/birmingham-to-wroclaw) > > [Flights from London (LCY) to Ballasalla (IOM)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lcy/iom/london-to-isle-of-man) > > [Flights from London (LHR) to Avignon (AVN)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/avn/london-to-avignon) ### Cars ### Activities > [Things to do in Sant'Agnello](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-SantAgnello.d6034492.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Aphrodite's Rock](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aphrodites-Rock-Cyprus.d6061821.Attraction) > > [Kennet & Avon Canal](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kennet-Avon-Canal-England.d553248621533024150.Attraction) ### General > [Visit France](https://www.expedia.co.uk/France.dx59) > > [Visit Galway City Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Galway-Galway-City-Centre.dx6057027)
