Hotel Playa Manglares Isla Baru

Beautiful place with nice people

Pros: Olga and all of the staff members were so warm and helpful, we felt really welcome. Food and drinks were nice. Last but not least, the location by the beach is beautiful and a great spot to relax!

A little slice of paradise

Pros: The staff and service were exceptional, very warm and welcoming and made you feel like no ask was too big. The room was very clean, outdoor shower refreshing and beds were comfortable, the mosquito nets kept the mosquitoes out.

Wished we could have Stayed longer 🥰

Pros: Olga is great and is helping with every request we had!!

Cons: Nothing at all!

Lovely stay in Playa Mangalares!

Pros: The food was the best we had in Colombia - really delicious made to order fresh foods, with orders for meals taken a few hours before. Lovely ‘honesty box’ with beers and soft drinks available when required. Olga was a lovely host, so accommodating and helpful. We did the Rosario Island tour - 1 snorkelling stop, a trip to Oceanario (due to bad weather and at extra charge) and then a few hours at a beach. Reasonably priced as Olga coordinated with other guests at the hotel to join us together. We also took a packed lunch from the hotel on this day trip which was great. Highly recommend the few hours to the Avery as well.

Cons: The stay is rustic in the sense that the showers are outdoors and you’re very much with nature. However, this means you can enjoy the tranquil atmosphere, so this isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

Tranquil, perfect place to stay

Pros: This was such a special place to stay. Olga and the staff make you feel so welcome. It’s not trying to be a fancy hotel but it’s is an authentic experience - the food is delicious, gorgeous surroundings and fabulous swimming. The sea water is not blue but it is clean and a pleasant temperature and great for swimming. Olga can also help organise outings to the famous aviary and boat/snorkelling trips

A very relaxing vacation

Pros: Very friendly staff. Excellent menu at the restaurant. Very quiet and tranquil place.

Pros: Olga, our hostess, was so engaging! And, her son, whom we me the next morning was equally charming. The staff was friendly and helpful and the property is beautiful.

Wonderful unspoilt place with lovely staff.

Pros: Olga and her staff were phenomenal. We felt so at home & relaxed in the most beautiful location. The food was excellent & we enjoyed some great activities.

Pros: A perfect place to wind down. Beautiful natural setting. Delicious food. Cozy cottage. And most importantly, amazing host Olga and colleagues. It felt like in a family.

Highly recommended. We loved our stay here as a family of 4.

Pros: It’s on the water. The owner was lovely and organized everything for us. Highly recommended.

Cons: The guests in the other room were working and using video conferencing on their balcony early in the morning which we could hear as if we were in the same room. But as the hotel is very open that’s a problem of guests not considering others around them.
