Ancalá Casas Altas

Privacidad, atencion y sus instalaciones las mejores que he visitado

Quiet boutique property with a few independent and gorgeous bungalows with private pools. Ingrid and the other staff are excellent and the food was fantastic. This place is really amazing. We loved it.

They dont have a real beach but they do have a dock you can swim from. Suggest putting loungers that reclines near the swimming pool area in the bungalow. It would’ve nice also then having a pool at the lunch area. The mosquitoes and ants killed us. We had probably 50 bites each. They should try to manage the bugs better. My only other feedback is the one way cost of a boat from Cartagena was over $700 USD. You can take a car with was about 90 minute drive for much less $160 but is 50% longer travel. They should real find a less expensive alternative via water.

- great service throughout our stay (thank you Joanna and Noel!) - gorgeous rooms and bathrooms - extensive menu and delicious food (thank you Elkin!) - high quality materials and furniture throughout areas - lots of privacy - various swimming & relaxing options

Everything was perfect

Todo excelente, en especial la atención

Nada

We had a beautiful room with a terrace and private pool. We were upgraded as we were the only guests. The staff was very attentive and accommodating.

We stayed at their sister property in Cartagena. I think for the price point of the two they could have arramged transportation between the two at a reasonable rate. The prices quoted were outrageous.

When travelling, it is rare - even in the greatest hotel chains where cookie-cutter rooms and, and robotic service prevail - to be surprised. Such was our surprise at the low profile and fabulous photographs of Agua Barú, that we thought this booking might even be a scam. But, oh my gosh it’s not, and prepare to find yourself in sublime heaven. We stayed in Casita 3: a stand-alone house, a hop skip and a jump away from the waterfront, surrounded by gardens of lush greenery with multiple seating/relaxing places, and its own jewel-like swimming pool. All this, in itself, is heaven. But the glorious bedroom with vaulted ceiling, and GORGEOUS decor (a very talented Swiss lady, I am told, decked it out) is where you will be cocooned in blissful comfort and utter contentment. A large terrace extends from the bedroom (more delectable lounging spots) with a view across the bay which will knock your socks off. Every imaginable thing you might need has been considered. The bed is probably the most comfortable I have ever slept in: the sheets, pillows, bath towels and robes - all of the highest quality - were perfection. Am I exaggerating, you might ask? No, seriously, this place is divine. And best of all, you have the discrete, but ever present service of your personal ‘butler’? In our case the constantly smiling and attentive Itati who would organise deliveries of delicious food from the on-site restaurant, prep a kayak for a scoot around the bay, and send in the troops to catch a scary spider. Itati, you are an angel! If Casita 3 was not perfect enough, nearby, it has a ‘big sister’ house with three bedrooms and dreamy communal entertaining spaces, and a huge infinity pool overlooking that stunning view I mentioned, where I hope to return with my family. Yes, this is definitely worth the journey to get to, and the memories I take away with me are of dreamy, joyful elation. I can hardly wait to return.

That it is so far away for me to get to easily!
