As mentioned before, the road to the Sofitel Baru was rocky. We vowed to take the boat back. It is the perfect place to go for rest and relaxation. Other than that, not much to do. The property is self is beautiful and well maintained. The staff will go out of their way to ensure the comfort in your stay. The breakfast buffet was diverse and plentiful. We found ourselves dining at Restaurant Bahia mostly because the food was consistently tasty. Dinner at Humo was overpriced and bland. The fish at the restaurants were never fresh. Seemed frozened, microwaved to thaw then, cooked. We were disappointed in the food.

This is probably one of the best hotel reaper experiences I’ve had to date. The customer service is superb. They literally wait on you hand and foot. The food is delicious at Calablanca. The free activities are endless and then the resort itself is very clean, beautiful, peaceful and very modern. 1000/1000
