The location was beautiful and relaxing (except music drifting over from Cholon during midday) for a family vacation with children. The staff were very friendly and good at their jobs. The food was good. The location can be hard to reach by car after a heavy rain.

First the food is amazing, go for lunch or better dinner. Unfortunately this hotel faces the dreaded Cholon party scene. And its every day from 10-4. Thumping non stop. This is not the place to relax, during peak season it goes beyond unbearable. The rooms are fine, nothing unique about them, good enough. The facilities and "beach" is fine too. Again great great food even better than Islas Hotel but the music is unbearable

It is a nice place to relax, there is no TV. Only one menu option and nothing really nearby to have a bit so the hotel's menu is basically your only choice. Prices are high in my opinion, the food is good. Staff friendly, although not like in other destinations we have been to, particularly in Mexico. The little beach of the hotel is very nice. I would not recommend anyone to stay more than 3 days, at least I wouldn't normally do that.

Ok, so you come to this place for three things...the food, the level of service and the solitude. Those 3 things can't be beat. The food is out of this world! The rooms need some TLC, and a pool would be nice. That being said, I would return here in a heartbeat. In fact, I plan on it. In all transparency, Im not an animal person so would do away with the pet-friendly part, but have to say I was not personally hindered by the small dogs that were present. I can just see somebody thinking it appropriate to bring large or aggressive dogs.

Glad we decided to stay at Hotel Aura while visiting Barù. The grounds were perfect for 5 days and 4 nights of relaxation and water activities. When not laying out on the comfy beachside beds, we booked a tour and visited islands, participated in the yoga class, and kayaked. Service in general was slower-paced than we are used to in the states, but that is a good thing. Staff were really fun and accommodating of our group. Looking forward to returning.

There was a strange vibe at this hotel amongst the staff. The receptionists and manager were extremely friendly, but the rest of the staff were outwardly disgruntled and unfriendly. I’m not sure what was going on behind the scenes there. The rooms I stayed in were both over the kitchen. There was a constant humming and strong vibration that you could feel and hear constantly. I don’t think they should put anyone in these rooms as they are so un peaceful! Be advised that if you book private transport, the hotel is gauging the transportation company! They forgot to pack all of my belongings into the car (though they told me they had), and then when we had to turn around, they changed the driver of the car for the extra time! This was a harsh thing to do, considering that drivers in Colombia make next to nothing!
