I’m in love with this hotel. I had the most peaceful experience I have ever experienced in a resort. Staff is so nice and friendly they approach you here and there which is great to ask if you need any drinks or any food. I loved the private beach and the pools are so beautiful. The spa is one of the best treatments you can get while you’re staying here. I will come back to this wonderful hotel with my family. This time I only came with my husband and we had such a great time. The restaurants are great as well. Room service is one of the great things they have if you don’t feel like going out to the restaurants. While at the beach they have kayaking which is included in your stay and there are also other activities like snorkeling ect that you can pay separately. Sofitel Calablanca I will see you soon.

The staff are absolutely amazing. From the moment we checked in they were extremely friendly, attentive allowing us to truly relax and know everything was well taken care of. The property is immaculate and the beach is well taken care of. If you are looking for a place to sit back, relax and re-charge your batteries this is the place.

I just returned from an amazing vacation here in Colombia, and I have to say—it was truly a five-star experience from start to finish! The hotel was absolutely beautiful, exactly as pictured, and exceptionally clean and well-maintained. A special shoutout to Mario, who went above and beyond to make sure we were well taken care of. His attentiveness and hospitality truly made our stay unforgettable. Honestly, every staff member we encountered was kind, welcoming, and eager to help with anything we needed. This is the perfect getaway spot—whether you’re traveling as a couple or with family, the experience is nothing short of incredible. I can’t recommend it enough, and I’m already looking forward to coming back!

Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025

10/10

The entire staff was fabulous and it is unfortunate that I do not remember all of their names, despite the fact that everyone of them knew my name. A special thank you to Maria at the adult pool. He and his team were very attentive to our needs and made us feel as though we had the pool all to ourselves. Also, all of the drivers provided exceptional service as did the breakfast staff. The concierge’s were always on top of everything providing a worry-free experience, we thank them all. Hotel Sofitel Baru is a hidden gem that we definitely plan to return!
