Baru Island: Pesquise hostels

DespertArte espacio de Arte y Hospedaje tem um jardim, terraço, um restaurante e bar em Playa Blanca. Os hóspedes podem desfrutar de uma bebida no snack-bar. The hostel is located right on the beach, and had a great vibe from the start! We had some trouble locating it because it was dark and google maps wasn’t helpful. We were running late but the two sisters who own the house waited up for us and made us feel right at home. If you like falling asleep listening to the ocean, under a huge dream catcher this is the place for you! Breakfast is fresh, and the coffee delicious. The artisan shop is right there with lots of creative designs by the sisters. I even met their mother. Such a beautiful family stay.

La Cabaña Glamping Geronimo apresenta um salão partilhado, terraço, um restaurante e bar em Playa Blanca. Apresentando quartos familiares, este alojamento também providencia piscina exterior. We had an amazing time in La Cabaña. The view from the glamping and the place itself is just unreal. The room is just perfect with a fan and an aircon. The staff made us feel really like at home and the food was exceptional, with fresh ingredients that were clearly sourced locally and hence, very natural. You have to try the piñacolada in La Cabaña as it is the best on the island. Mr Antonio is a gentleman, he collected us from the Cartagena airport and brought us to the island. It is indeed a different and wonderful experience when getting to the island. We came across great people from the island, from the staff in the hotel and the lovely people who sell stuff on the beach, unlike others complaining about these people "being annoying" we took the time to speak to them and know more about themselves. Our recommendation, be friendly and polite and if you don't want to buy anything just say "no, thank you very much" and they won't bother you. Remember that these people live from tourism and they are welcoming us to their place. It does make a difference in the time you pick to go. In our case, we went on a Monday and Tuesday (the 5th and 6th of June) there so it wasn't that crowded. What a place to stay! The island is just perfect. Highly recommended.
