Summary of reviews related to the 'Beachfront' categoryAura Hotel Barú offers a mixed beach experience that garners varying comments from its guests. The beach exudes a sense of tranquility and privacy, often described as calm, peaceful and very beautiful. Guests appreciate the cleanliness and the pleasant ambiance that allows for a restful escape. The hotel’s beachfront is notably free from noise and is practically private, ideal for those seeking a serene retreat with minimal disturbances.
However, several visitors point out that the beach conditions are not ideal for swimming. The waters are often murky with a marshy appearance and the sand can be slimy due to seaweed accumulation. Sea urchins and algae are also commonly mentioned and some recommend wearing water shoes for a comfortable experience. Despite some critical remarks about the water clarity and the small beach areas surrounded by mangroves, the environment remains enjoyable for those focused on relaxation rather than aquatic activities.
The hotel's beachfront includes comfortable facilities and a certain charm with some likening the beauty of the setting to a serene tropical escape. While the nearby Isla Cholon does bring in noisy crowds and boats beginning around 11:00 AM, the hotel's private beach largely remains a quiet haven.
In summary, while Aura Hotel Barú’s beach might not meet the expectations of those seeking crystal-clear waters and broad sandy expanses, it provides a quiet and intimate atmosphere perfect for unwinding. The pleasant settings and attentive service make it a recommendable spot for tranquillity, if not for swimming.
