This room is for the beach life lover! Your eyes will be filled with the beauty of tropical beach setting and your body will relax without the typical modern hotel lifestyle. Fabulous cuisine offered at a reasonable price. The staff was very profesional and very outgoing in every detail of our stay and adventurous excursions. This place was safe and secure. Recommend this place 100%.

Great location and little further up the beach away from the crowds. Loved the fun colors! Lots of options for shade which is really important with kids. Service was good. Bathrooms are rustic but clean.

We were satisfied. Playa Blanca baru was better than we expected. We weren't hustled by anyone, the water was beautiful, Carlos was helpful, we were able to cook our own meal, and our "balcony"/sitting area with a sitting area, hammock, and the ocean was wonderful. We had no issue with using water for a shower, the bathrooms, we got an Indrive there for 50,000 and paid a guy the same amount leaving with some time/negotiation. We were able to boil water there to drink which was nice. Bring water as it is pricey. The sitting loungers on the sand were perfect. As every place there electricity from 6pm-6am and no wifi, and low cell service if any, but it was perfect for us.

The location is in playa tranquila, we taxi'd (use indriver or have the host help you with a taxi) from Manga in Cartagena for 71k COP (~1 hr drive). We walked from the parking lot along the beach for 20 mins to the Cabana where Manuel, the host, let us into our room hours early and prepared chairs and umbrellas for us. We were the only ones staying in one of the two rooms upstairs and it was great having hammocks and lounge chairs, amazing views and all to ourselves. I recommend swimming in the morning with a snorkel mask (he lent us some) before a lot of the fish hide from the boats!
The food was delicious (you must try the coconut rice), in large quanities and affordable. He also helps arrange tours like an evening bioluminescent plankton tour (takes about 1 hr and was ~35k cop per person) and an afternoon snorkeling 4 islands tour (90k per person). He also arranged a boat to take us straight from his place to Cartagena at the end of our stay (40k per person).
We had an amazing time there and would definitely go back!

My recent two night stay was exceptional. The ocean view from the hostel was incredible and the food was delicious. The hosts were very friendly, making me feel right at home from the moment I arrived. I do not have anything negative to say about my stay! Highly recommended!

great little hotels and restaurants in the area but too many hawkers selling you stuff. Be careful with your personal items. Bring your own towels. Sunset beach restaurant had nice cabana types to relax and consume.

Loved it, although it does make a difference the time you pick to go ie, high season or low season. I went during the low season from Monday night to Wednesday starting the month of June, it wasn't crowded and was very enjoyable.

If you only have a day or two and need some beach time near Cartagena Playa Blanca works to get yourself in the Caribbean and walk on the sand. The water is clean and warm but the actual beach is quite narrow with many hostels built right out to the tide line and it is very busy with day trippers. Swim in the mornings and late afternoon before all the tour boats arrive and book a room at the far end of the beach- Playa Tranquila- with an upstairs balcony facing the ocean to have a little oasis to yourself when the afternoon activity happens. Food all along the beach is limited but we found the restaurant at Coral Azul to be quite good and with reasonable pricing

A wonderful rustic shack on the beach, with delicious food and caring staff. Stunning ocean and beach views. They advertise WiFi but what they mean is that there is good cellular data reception at the property. Relax, enjoy but don't ring unreasonable expectations. Flushing the toilet with a bucket of ocean water isn't all that bad. Cold water showers feel really refreshing after a day of beach walking! Chill. Relax. Enjoy!

First of all, the beach view is so beautiful that this is actually my second time at this place.
I was very happy to see that they changed all the energy to solar powered.
The first time I staid they had a motor that created nose at night, and I could not seep. BUT this time they don’t have the motor because they changed it to solar power witch is AMAZING.
The staff and everyone around is very welcoming and fun, not to mention the FOOD, very authentic and different from all the places I tried.
The rooms were very comfortable and clean with sooo much fresh breeze.
I love all the amazing picture i took for my INSTAGRAM 🤗 I definitely recommend this place!
I will be going back next year and stay a little longer next time!!

If you want a tranquil stay on a picture perfect beach thisis not the place. From the moment you arrive there is a constant swarm of relentless vendors. Jet skis continually pass up and down the shoreline asking if you want to rent time on the jetski. They are too close to swimmers and often pass in between them. Overall experience, we felt like we are at the mercy of pirates. Would not go back.
