10/10 Exceptional

This place and service lived up to the very high bar I've seen set by other reviewers. It's hard to put the atmosphere into words, except calming & magical. It's simple and rustic, but also stylish, and every detail is thought of. The owners were gracious and helpful. Helped us arrange a taxi to the aviary and a day-trip semi-private boat to the Rosario Islands which was exceptional (do this instead of Playa Blanca). Wonderful accomodations and vacation.
Amy, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful place where you can definitely unplug and recharge energies. Olga and the staff were friendly, professional and extremely helpful with our requests. Delicious meals prepared with local ingredients so our experience allowed us to enjoy the Colombian cuisine to the fullest. It’s worth to highlight that the arrangement coordinated with the hotel for our transportation from and to Cartagena has been great. Jhony is an excellent driver, very knowledgeable and respectful so we felt safe going to Playa Manglares and returning to Cartagena. It’s a beautiful place, a gem that we are so happy to have chosen for our stay while visiting Colombia. Tour to nearby islands and other activities are also facilitated if you ask for recommendations as Olga has been very welcoming.

8/10 Very good

Un posto bellissimo, gestito con amore da parte dei proprietari super gentili. La struttura é creato con grande attenzione alla natura, non c’è l‘aria condizionata, si dorme come le finestre aperte, la doccia é privata, ma all‘aperto. Una sistemazione molto particolare - a noi - nonostante siano soliti a scegliere strutture diverse - é piaciuto tanto. Unico neo, in questo periodo il mare non é caraibico e poco invitante. Inoltre c’è stato una festa nella villa accanto e non siamo riusciti a chiudere occhio fino alla 04.00 di mattina causa musica da discoteca a volume altissimo. Ma questo mi auguro non sia tutte le sere e la proprietaria non solo si é scusata - non avendo poi neanche delle responsabilità di quanto accade accanto - ci ha anche offerta la cena che del resto come la colazione era ottimo. Lo consigli? Si, per coloro a cui piace un posto eco, diverso dal solito e che sappia che tra maggio e ottobre il mare non é caraibico. Così almeno si ha la chiarezza di cosa si prenota per non aspettarsi una spiaggia caraibica.

This property is fabulous. It is in a close location to Playa Blanca in Baru, it is very quiet, safe and beautiful. The beach is not white sand, but you can definitely go in and swim. This property is surrounded by trees and it is right by the ocean. You can see and hear the beach while you have breakfast/lunch dinner. The staff is fabulous and the food is great. Bring mosquito repellant as there are mosquitoes at night, though the beds have mosquito netting too. The only draw back is that it has no Air conditioning in the rooms. They do have fans though. As a Canadian we melted, but we throughly loved the place. I would recommend and stay in this place again.

Un lugar para desconectarse
Es un lugar hermoso para disfrutar en pareja, ideal para desconectarse y descansar. La comida es muy rica, el desayuno típico es delicioso! Quedamos muy agradecidos de la atención de Olga, muy preocupada por todo siempre. Una acotación lleven repelente porque en la noche hay muchos insectos.
Los guardines del hotel son un encanto!!
Baños al aire libre, totalmente preciosos!

Mágico paraíso lejos de la gente
Fue un viaje increíble! Playa Manglares superó nuestras expectativas. Es un lugar lindísimo con detalles íntimos y elegidos para hacerle a uno sentirse en casa. Las habitaciones son amplias y cómodas. No tener televisor, pero sí Wifi fue liberador. La playa privada entre manglares con sus hamacas hermosísima cuando uno busca - como nosotros - estar lejos de las multitudes. El agua no es cristalina, pero invita a nadar y jugar y es apto para toda la familia. Las excursiones son fáciles e interesantes y tiene una excelente ub para visitar sitios turísticos y “volver a casa” por la tarde. El servicio personal, cariñoso y con una hospitalidad inmejorable. Pero para nosotros lo mejor fue el relacionamiento amistoso con Olga y Marcelo, sus perros y gatos. Encontramos una casa fuera de casa en un lugar mágico y amigos. Fue increíble! Gracias por todo!

Absolutely a magical place to rest and connect with nature, highly recommended this wonderful hotel and the personalized attention of the owner Olga. We love this place !!!!
2-night trip

6/10 Good

The property is pleasant, situated next to the bayaide of Baru. As a result the beach can be a bit smelly from the waste water from the local village. Also on the weekends expect to hear loud music from the village, even though it is 3 kms away. Also there is no A/C in thebrooms or hot showers. The price is really too high for what you get - no pool etc. The local beach, Playa Blanca is extremely dangerous and I would not recommend under any circumstances that you go there. We were basically kidnapped and held hostage until we were taken to the village and forced to pay a large sum on our credit card in order to be freed up. If you dare to venture outside of the property expect to be constantly hassled by people, they will stand in the middle of the road and try to stop your car - ignore them and run them over if you have to. They want to rob you. WATCH OUT. I would not recommend visiting Baru, spend a little more and go to either Tierra Bomba (Blue Apple) or any of the lovwly lodges in the beautiful Rosarios Islands. Baru is not worth it at all!

I loved my stay at the Hotel Playa Manglares. It's a truly unique place in a beautiful secluded location right on the beach. Olga and the staff went above and beyond to make me feel welcomed and helped me book activities during my visit. This is one of the best hotels I've ever stayed at. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing beach vacation.
