SABAI Beach, hotel in Baru

SABAI Beach features 200 metres of private white sand beach and free WiFi access in public areas. It is located in Barú Peninsula (an island), 20 minutes’ drive from Barbacoas Bay.

This is such a wonderful hotel with amazing welcoming and helpful staff and wonderful food. It is such a stunning part of the world and Sabai absolutely showcases the splendors of the beach and jungle. Everything we needed we got, including a trip to the National Aviary which was magnificent. Everyone at Sabai was fantastic, helpful, bright and warm, and the property was just beautiful. The food was especially excellent.

Tequila SunBeach Baru Eco-Hotel, hotel in Baru

Located in Baru, a few steps from Playa Blanca, Tequila SunBeach Baru Eco-Hotel provides accommodation with a terrace, private parking, a restaurant and a bar.

I have to give this review because people need to know some things before booking this place or any other place on Isla Baru because information is lacking on Booking. For the good sides, I would say the view from sea view rooms and the fact that you are directly on the beach.

    Wow this location is AMAZING.

    Wow this location is AMAZING. Truly it was a private beach all to ourselves… only one other couple there on our first night. The property only has 4 rooms total so you’re never going to have a bunch of people there. The staff were SO accommodating and patient with our lack of ability to speak Spanish. We only speak English, staff only spoke English but they always used translation making it very easy to communicate! I saw other reviews complaining about the food being overpriced and no hot water for the shower which seems silly to me after now experiencing how remote this place is! It was my toddlers first travel experience, and I was SO happy with the comfort Carey House offered. Is it a luxury hotel, no. But does it have everything you need on a remote beach location with PERFECT Carribean swimming and the best staff ever? Yes. We will be coming back!

    I love how close the place is to nature, beach is amazing , the rustic cabanas are beautiful .The only thing I didn’t like it were the locals trying to sell their products in a way that can be annoying.

    The only way to get from the arrival area to your hotel is...

    The only way to get from the arrival area to your hotel is to walk along the beach with your luggage or by boat. When the seas are ruff and there are no boats you must carry your luggage through the sand and water. Depending where your hotel is, that could be a mile. There is one tiny bodega on the beach to buy soda and beer and not much else. It’s best for a short stay.

    Horrible place, instead of the sea breeze you'll enjoy...

    Horrible place, instead of the sea breeze you'll enjoy exhaust from the dozens of motorboats and scooters cruising everywhere without any rules. They make a horrible noise all over the day, combined with loud music from each bar it caused a headache. Food and drinks are extremely expensive, we got poisoned by some food there being sick for 3 days. Trash is everywhere behind the beach line.

    Before 11 am and after 5 pm, it is beautiful.

    Before 11 am and after 5 pm, it is beautiful. Between those hours, however, there are an overwhelming number of visitors and vendors. The water is full of so many people offering rides on jetskis, banana boats, tour boats, etc, that rather than smell the ocean air you smell gas. If you want peace and quiet you need to trek about 2 kms to the peaceful section of Playa Blanca.

    Baru was a big surprise for us in all the right ways.

    Baru was a big surprise for us in all the right ways. Family of 3 with a 10 year old, stayed 6 days, 2 different hotels. Beautiful white sandy beaches, turquoise colored waters and fresh sea food ( learn your prices and always check before accepting anything). The family time spent there is unforgettable. The people are kind and respectful. The island is safe and after 4pm starts to calm down and at 7-8 pm it's quiet and peaceful. Most people spent a day and leave, but i recommend you stay and do the activities. We did snorkeling and raccon as well as the Plancton (DO NOT MISS IT! ). Hotels Soy Local Baru if you want the authentic and exclusive experience 5⭐️ Nena beach resort AC, pool and beach beds.

    The only thing we liked was the ocean was really close to us, there was no power light and water for restrooms,and Natalia was very rude and she blocked us from whatsapp, I spend one night but it was hell because there was no electricity for the fans, and this island is extremely hot, the power plant was out of gas and I think they should be prepare with extra gas, to take care of their costumers. They only good thing was Jose the groundskeeper, very nice person.

    Jean Carlos, the hotel administrator, was extremely attentive to our needs. He made the trip very enjoyable! This is a unique spot where you are LITERALLY steps from the sand/ocean. It's very relaxing hearing the waves and popping in for a swim whenever the mood hits you! I've been to 6 continents and by far the most novel experience I've had. My teens enjoyed the eclectic experience as well!! If you have a sense of adventure-this is for you!

    Had high expectations but mostly let down. Not worth the price at all. Pretty enough grounds, definitely NOT luxury or even really on a private island. Not when you can also arrive by boat and there is a town there. Buildings/rooms nice enough, pool relaxing and pretty, bartender nice but very weak drinks. Dinner was better. Not much to do, sons liked ping pong. They also did jet ski by a private group running those - very expensive

    Olga, her nephew, and the entire staff at Hotel Playa Manglares were incredibly accommodating and inviting. They've orchestrated a beautiful, quaint placed to stay, away from a lot of the hustle and bustle of Playa Blanca. The entire experience was serene, beautiful, and relaxing. We loved spending time on the private beach, thoroughly enjoyed our snorkeling trip with two local guides, and had a great breakfast each morning.

    This is one of the best properties on the island, because you're literally a step away from the water. The waters are crystal blue, and the views a once in a lifetime experience. You also get to know the other guests in the house because everyone is sharing the same common space. Keep in mind every property on the island is very rustic, and you probably won't have much internet access - but this was a welcome break for me.

    The staff attention, they were always concerned about our comfort, whether if we wanted something to eat or how was our meals, they even took the food to your room. They served our breakfast the last day before the average breakfast time because our flight left very early. Also, they were very helpful contacting us with someone from the hotel for transportation to the airport for a fair price.

    This place has amazing rooms, they are well decorated and feels fresh and modern. Views are really wonderful and they offer a good range of nice cocktails you can drink while you are enjoying in the swimming pool or beach. Beach is not too big but big enough for the size of the hotel. Day travellers also come during the day and spend time there too.

    This was a perfect choice on Baru. Really chilled vibe, not pretentious at all. Hammocks, canoes and right on the beach. The hut was simple but had everything you needed showers, plugs, balcony, comfy bed. Also we highly recommend eating there as Marco is an amazing chef and food is reasonably priced. All in all was a very refreshing stay

    this hotel is amazing. You can take a helicopter directly from aiport to the hotel property. Then you can easily schedule boats to islands off shore. The architecture/design of hotel is best in world. We had Teddie and Luis for snorkeling and glow in the dark plankton boat trips.
