"It was basic "

"Great fresh breakfast. Lovely staff who went above and beyond "

"Very nice "

"The good was really good value and quality However my room was dripping water from The ceiling"

"Super comfy beds, very modern small room, had a great view, 17th floor. Pool on 18th. Staff is incredible to make your stay comfortable. Perfect for one night in Bocagrande. "

"We went to the port on a Tuesday afternoon and it was easy to find the staff. They also communicate by WhatsApp. The boat rides went fine. The staff at the resort were very friendly and helpful. If you want a second cup of coffee during the breakfast, you'll have to flag the staff down. The hotel room was good and we liked the bed. Lots of beach loungers with shade available during the midweek. Food was good, but a bit pricey. Beach was nice, the water could be rough if boats pass by. The water isn't as clear as the other islands but this one is much closer to the city. The resort dogs and cats were friendly. There are day pass visitors but we didn't feel like impacted the service level from the staff. We didn't like that the jet ski staff would ride into the designated swim spot. Seems like an accident could happen and it also makes the water quality worse. One thing to note about the property is that they asked for reviews from us several times. "

"My stay at Sofitel Barú Calablanca Beach Resort was absolutely incredible from start to finish. 🌟 The service was truly amazing — the staff went above and beyond at every moment and are honestly some of the best I’ve experienced anywhere. The rooms were spotless, beautifully designed, and very comfortable, with top-tier amenities throughout the resort. The beach and pool area were stunning, clean, and perfectly maintained — a true paradise. But what really stood out… THE FOOD — WOW. Every meal was exceptional, full of flavor, and exceeded expectations. From A to Z, this was a flawless experience. I highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for luxury, relaxation, and world-class service. I will definitely be back!"

"The game room was a hit for my kids after a long day!"
