Guest reviews for Aura Hotel Barú

1 out of 5
The service was truly shocking and ruined our stay. Thank goodness we only booked for 3 nights. The staff are clueless and inattentive but worst of all, they just blame each other for the chaos. We spoke to the General Manager who explained they all need retraining. This guy should be sacked immediately for taking no responsibility and doing nothing to sort things in the present moment. Truly awful. Do not stay here.
