Staff is incredible and welcoming - front desk both the lady and the man are incredible! Bartenders… amazing. Overall - everyone is nice and polite- definitely coming back! As for the hotel itself I’ll say this: paradise. Baru itself is far away from the city so expect open roads (if you can afford to pay oxen transportation take that - much cooler) The hotel will handle your transportation! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e343b484-ccd7-44d3-9e39-a781bc9a7fbf-1760921488359.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/89526ab0-c157-4185-a645-354c9846b89b-1760921484661.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5f816d67-ca45-4ef8-b968-361b12832884-1760921487520.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a23a27be-55bb-4d35-97de-e96eba008f0a-1760921488057.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Miguel Angel Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Austin 21 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Beautiful, small island resort.

The staff are wonderful and it is a peaceful place for the most part. The rooms are hot however and there is an AC but it has a hard time to keep up with temperatures and the fact that the rooms are not sealed. This is a plus for breezes which is amazing but hot otherwise. A beautiful getaway with my wife. Some of the staff speak some English and I could also try to practice my Spanish a bit. ![Our room on the water](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/c7191550-3741-4919-9589-0193cc6b812e-1747050378630.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Quiet morning ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/da91c9cb-f34e-4507-9eaf-f4411a99a243-1747050377168.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Beautiful subrise](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/19556e45-a9f6-4a1a-9560-3646da4a2a1c-1747050376446.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/77560607-a1eb-4ea0-8d37-d7ad11f096e6-1747050378747.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Eric Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jacqueline 2 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We had a fantastic time of 2 nights at SOY Local Islawa.

Accommodation is only accessible by boat, which was offered free of charge. Our room was really fantastic. Cool by the Arco, clean, lovely bed and a very large nice shower. Kayak is free to use. Menu card was played out for us after 2 days. Lunch and dinner the same. Drinks are delicious! Warm welcome with a welcome drink. We missed it very quickly. A real dream location.
