Baru Island, Cartagena hotel rooms at the Independent

"Loved our stay here. The place was so immaculately maintained, the landscaping was so beautiful, and with live plants even in the bathrooms, the place had the upscale feeling that we paid for. This is expensive - considering this is Colombia, but we lived our stay. The restaurants on site were also very good - breakfast at Calablanca was not the run of the mill hotel breakfast. We had dinner at Bahia twice - everything was delicious. Service staff were super friendly and cheerful all the time Beach was clean and calm. Not much seaweed to speak of Highlight or our trip "

"Yes. They met all the expectations. This hotel cared to take care of every normal possible request. For people that don't speak spanish, they were great on english. Pool was awesome with its view on the open sea. We paid for the breakfast option, it was great. For breakfast they continued to bring fresh food through the end."

"Loved it, the staff is super friendly and sweet, The food at the restaurant was amazing and overall a great experience. Would highly recommend "

"Love this hotel"

"Room was great, staff are super nice "

"If you like rustic and small this is the place for you. BONDO is a boutique hotel. The staff was very helpful. "

"The treetop bungalows were unique and a special lodging experience. We had tree monkeys visit us for 2 of our 3 days on our deck. The room was clean with nice amenities like a fresh water ice machine & air conditioning. Gratis bikes were a great way to get around the property - and the private island was a nice feature with complementary boat rides running every 15 minutes."

"Excellent view "
