Hotel Carey Beach Baru

Perfect Caribbean holiday

Pros: Here we experienced perfect Caribbean - the beach, food, hospitality. The rooms were comfortable and cocktails with the sunset above the sea were spot on.

Pros: Fantastic place to stay! We spend 4 nights here and I can’t recommend it enough: - quiet, chill, relaxing vibe, you have a corner of paradise nearly to yourself - clean, the team takes care of the place and makes it very comfortable (not easy when sand easily gets everywhere) - delicious food for very reasonable prices and plenty of options (we also saw other, much higher prices in the area and thought Carey Beach priced food and drinks in such a way that it doesn’t break the bank) - very polite and attentive staff, the team is as present as you want them to be, very helpful, always with a smile - nice beach, water was great to take a swim, we could watch pelicans hunt for fish - the activities offered were great: we went on a snorkel trip and had massages at the beach. All in all: fantastic! Relaxing! Would highly recommend!

Great get away.

Pros: Peaceful and quiet. The location is fantastic. Our room faced the sea and was directly on the beach. The rooms are comfortable, clean and nicely lit and decorated. The bathroom was fine. We enjoyed the food and cocktails. The place is perfect for families. It is safe and secure.

Cons: There were just a few little things- the water pressure in the shower, the room door that wouldn't lock properly, people smoking on the beach or flying drones and disturbing the peace. But it didn't take away from the overall great experience.

Pros: Boutique hotel in a great location and with amazing beach. You literally walk out of the room onto the nice beach, don't need to worry about carrying anything to the beach. Very private, quite and relaxing beach with no vendors to worry about (a major premium for beaches in Colombia), only used by the hotel guests, which only has about 10-12 rooms/appartments, so it never gets or feels crowded. Also, very safe, can leave anything behind while in the water. Sea water is clear & clean at this location and very warm. Great, quite A/C in the room which definetely helps with tge heat and humidity in August. You can only reach the hotel via private boat, which makes it unique, private and not crowded at all. Food for most offered meals is good and tasty, however see comments under the negatives. Staff is very nice, however see comments under the negatives.

Cons: No free drinking water and you have to keep on buying from the hotel (no other buying option), which is very overpriced. Bring your own water jugs if you can, we didn't know unfortunately. All the food/meals you have to buy at the hotel restaurant (no other option) and they tend to be a bit overpriced and there's little option for smaller portions meals and no salads only option. If you don't order ahead, wait time can be very long and sometime even when you order ahead it can take a while. Breakfast takes a long time to get, sometimes over 1 hour after ordering. Staff is nice and friendly, but you can see they are understaffed and working 14+ hours/day, which is the reason for the slow service at both restaurant and bar. Rooms and storage space are very small, especially for families. The water pressure at the shower is very slow and it's never warm, just 1 temperature all the time. I asked for cloth hangers the first day and they never came. Also, there no shampoo Drinks at the bar are pretty pricey as well, they cost significantly more than in Cartagena. I guess all of this is part of being on an isolated island, which makes it unique.

A fabulous stay would recommend !

Pros: - beautiful secluded beach doesn’t feel busy at all which very soft sand and warm water - rooms were comfortable and strong AC - staff were extremely friendly and helpful namely Alberto and Andy - organised a great snorkelling excursion for us - food was excellent

Cons: - not much nearby so have to dine at the hotel which didn’t bother us as the food was great - it’s a little bit difficult and long to get to including a taxi and a boat but wonderful once you’re here

Pros: While having stayed during low season so quieter than normal the serene location makes for having a relaxing break. Our stay was perfect from beginning to end!

Cons: At a push due the fact of the remote location you have no choice but to dine at the hotel. But given the food was delicious & there was a good choice on the menu this wasn’t a problem.

Pros: The staff were so attentive, wasn’t too difficult to get to either a car drive from Cartagena then a short boat ride over. Food was great and we all really enjoyed it ended up staying another night

Cons: I would say if we could pay per day and not pay at the end as we were paying separately as a group so it got very confusing

Peaceful little paradise in the Colombian Caribbean!

Pros: Peaceful, nice staff, just the sound of the birds and sea.

Cons: Last day a guy out some music with speakers, it was not too loud but enough to disturb other guests

Cannot recommend Carey enough! Spent two nights and had such an amazing experience. It’s paradise! Jose and Neider were

Pros: Everything was amazing! Really was like being in paradise, the service and food were also wonderful!

Cons: Nothing!

I highly recommend this hotel. Good food and excellent service.

Pros: Is nothing to dislike about the property. The service was very good, the food was beautiful and well presented, the staff was very attentive especially Joseph. He is a pleaser. He even took coffee to our room in the morning. I recommend this hotel if you like tranquility.

Cons: The beach had seaweed so the sea but I supposed is not their fault.
