Gastronomic Delight

“The culinary experience at Sofitel Baru was nothing short of extraordinary. Each day began with an impressive breakfast buffet at Calablanca, featuring an array of tropical fruits like fresh lychee and pitaya, alongside freshly cooked items like omelets and pancakes. Dining at Humo, the Japanese restaurant, was an elegant treat that required a reservation, and the flavors blew me away. My absolute favorite dish was the Tuna Tartare at Bahia, where the executive chef even welcomed us personally, showcasing the farm-to-table concept.” view full review

Relaxation Oasis

“The spa and leisure facilities at Sofitel Baru exceeded my expectations. With five stunning pools, each offering private beds and chaises, I found the perfect spots to unwind after a day of activities. Notably, the beach area included good amenities like refreshing cooling towels imbued with mint—an absolute bliss. I also appreciated the range of activities like kayaking and cycling, which added to the relaxation while ensuring a fun-filled experience.” view full review

Luxurious Accommodations

“The rooms at Sofitel Baru were spacious and thoughtfully designed, equipped with a furnished balcony that offered nice sea views. I enjoyed the high-quality amenities, including L’Occitane toiletries, plush bedding with a down comforter, and a Nespresso machine. The large rain shower in the bathroom was a highlight, contributing to the overall luxurious feel of my stay. Room service was equally impressive, with an eye for detail in the presentation of food.” view full review
