Baru Island

Away from the hustle and bustle of the white beach entrance, it takes about 10 or 15 minutes to walk to get there, but it's well worth it.The surroundings are very quiet, water and sand clean, the staff are very friendly.The hostel is simple but has everything to make you feel comfortable and comfortable.

Very good hostel.

I'm going to tell you my experience that is based on just 12 hours of staying in this hostel.Getting to a place after several hours of traveling and being told We don't have water for the shower at the entrance is not a good sign.Following after I couldn't shower I wanted to sleep with a ventilator that would give me some air since the temperature on the island fluctuates at 28° at night and what happens?I just touched the generator for 3 hours and then the gasoline ran out, which means sleeping dead of heat.And then one day I opened my eyes and didn't have to wash my teeth and couldn't do anything because the bathroom cleanliness was too clean for the personal care and the difference between me and you was always where I was staying.Today, NO TRAIN OF ELSAYE was the decisive decision to make to leave the reservation and to enjoy the beaches where most of the rooms on the island are safe to go, but one day I felt like I could go to a different place.

Infrastructure too precarious for the price...

For starters, there is no sign to get to the place. If you go by day you can get there by boat, now if your flight arrives in the afternoon, the only way to get there is by taxi and you'll get lost if you've never been there. The shuttle service is terrible, we had to walk all the way to the beach with our bags at the cost. The place if it's as the photos say, it's worse when you see it in person. They offer daily towel and cleaning service and it's a scam. We never saw the towels, much less anyone who's going to eat the rooms. Like the breakfast that's included in the fare, we rented and when we went back to the attractions were all the suits we'd left behind.

There is no shelter or hostel.

Before judging this hostel let's keep in mind that Playa Blanca has no electricity, water and sewage, so most hostels will have more or less the same conditions.
We rented one of the rooms on the second floor. The room and the hostel were dirty, and there was no clean water. The shower has to be taken using a bucket and a limited water supply of 5 liters. There's just one toillet, that has to be shared with everybody, dirty as hell and with no hidraulic system to send your crap away. The staff is nice but they won't do much to help you out. Someone stole by bathing shorts that were left on the window to dry. Keep your food well sealed cause there are birds and animals who enter the room to eat it. Despite the "Cast Away" scenario, the beach is so damn beautiful and definetely worth a visit, not in this hostel though.

Well located, but dirty and expensive for what it offers.

Friendly staff. Unsanitary place! Dirty mattresses and smell of urine, salty sheets and the presence of rats on the interior roof of the room and that until the morning. No fresh water to wash even in the boiler.

beautiful view of the beach

Here all you need is to have your senses fully awake to enjoy the beauty of the beach, the sky and the sea.The attention is too good, the cabins are simple but comfortable and the best thing is to sleep in front of the sea. 100% recommended!

It is magnificent!!

To be in full contact with nature, without aggregates, pure beauty, they have everything necessary to disconnect, to relax, and to engage solely in enjoying the natural beauty of the environment.

Unmatched!!

The hostel is well situated away from the tourist crowd. The staff, a couple of traveling Argentinians, and the Colombian owners are warm and welcoming. The cabins are quite spacious but really lack equipment, no drinking water, no shower, no electricity, the roof seals problem, the finishes are rudimentary. We're not against a night in Robinson Crusoe but not this price, quality/price ratio much too expensive.
