Top Hotels in San Andres Island Resorts
The 8 best Resorts in San Andres Island, Colombia
The coral island of San Andres is a diverse ecosystem of reefs, geysers, groves, and cays. Needless to say, it’s perfect for diving, snorkeling, and outdoor exploring. This paradise has multicolored warm waters and 12 mangrove forests, and the beach cedars of Johnny Cay are like natural condos for beach birds. Keep an eye out for overlooked pirate treasure at Morgan’s Cave before chowing down on rondón, a signature Caribbean dish of fish, pork, conch, plantain and coconut milk.

Not a good Hotel
Reviewed By mariaclarao2017The hotel was very far away from de beach and the installations weren’t very good, the food wasn’t good, the pool was ugly and some rooms doesn’t have ventilation and windows and you can’t manage the air-conditioner like you want because you don’t have the remote control.

The worst night of my life
Reviewed By Catalina MI booked this hotel based on the comments below and I am so glad we booked it just for 1 night before going to Providencia. We arrived about 10:30 pm and they had a party in the social area which is really close to the rooms. The lady mentioned they will finish the party at 11 pm (it did not finish at that time). The room that we got was right on the main road, the aircon was not working properly so the room was really hot, you also can hear everything that's happening on the streets, rubbish truck at 2 am, the party down stairs, people coming after partying at 5 am and finally they were doing some construction that started at 7 am and it felt like the people where inside the room screaming. In addition, the lady at the reception told us wi-fi was for 5 days and cost $20.000 COP, we needed it so I asked for the password and would pay that price: she said the page was down and she could only give it to me the next day (the day that we were leaving). For $300.000 per night I expect something better than this. The place is rundown and not very inviting. I don't recommend staying here.

The best hotel in Alexandria
Reviewed By abdulrahmanaX7802VXOne of the greatest hotels I went to in my life, it has a great reception, employees, room service, and restaurant. It has spacious rooms with an amazing view to the ocean and it has its own private pool that is cleaned daily. I would recommend you stay in it when you visit Alexandria.

Lovely little diving resort hotel in a peaceful part of the island
Reviewed By FunkyMarshmallowSunset Hotel is located in the southwest of the island, there are few places nearby so it will certainly guarantee you a really relaxing and peaceful location to base yourself while in San Andres. Our room was basic but super clean and had nearly everything we needed (only a bedside lamp was missed) unfortunately our room smelt considerable musty on arrival which initially made me feel we'd made a mistake in booking, but after leaving the door/window open for a few hours, it cleared for the remainder of our stay so just a consideration for the owners to air the rooms prior to guest arrival to avoid this. The bathroom felt like it was ready for a proper refit, the shower screen was sticky and looks a bit dated. Hot water is available if you are lucky and want to shower mid-afternoon before the divers return. Breakfast was by far the best we had in the whole of Colombia with a choice of four really good options, just a shame we missed our last morning breakfast as we had to leave at 8am for the airport which is the time they start serving. There are no beaches on the west side of the island, which makes this great for snorkelling, however getting into the sea is near on impossible on this side as there are sharp coral rocks but Sunset Hotel has a huge ladder which they drop down over the rocks into the water so perfect if you want to experience the crystal clear bright blue waters and beautiful fish. We hired a moped via the hotel which was well organised and reasonably priced, we feel this or other transport (buggy) would be essential if you want to go out late in the evening otherwise taxi's home could be expensive, that said, the bus will stop outside the hotel but return buses do not run much after 7.30/8pm The hotel does serve food all day and offers a good choice of meals, the prices for food, beer and wine are really competitive so we did not feel as though we were being treated as a captive audience or being ripped off, something someone else had commented on in a review. The swimming pool is a welcome relief from the heat of the sun, it is immaculate and constantly being checked and cleaned if any leaves drop in. The sunbeds are a nice touch but disappointed there were no hammocks, as seen in the photos.
5. Decameron San Luis
Overall Ratings
3.5 based on 1903 reviews
Located only 20 minutes from the airport and in the midst of the San Luis sector, this complete resort will disconnect you from the chaos and noise and introduce you to a natural experience in an area surrounded by extensive vegetation and beautiful beaches painted in the characteristic multicolored sea of the island. Purifying the senses is a given fact. With typical Antillean architecture, Decameron San Luis has wooden structures and finishes that mix with the landscape adorned with palm trees and mangroves, allowing for open air spaces and blocks and providing the perfect atmosphere for oxygen-filled vacations. Additionally to breathing in the resort's wild environment, you can take a long walk on San Luis' renowned beaches where you will delight your eye's retina thanks to the tones that are reflected from its sky and the ocean during the day, especially during sunsets and sunrises and that will finally become the ideal destination to come back home with a green spirit. Due to Coronavirus (COVID-19), this property is taking steps to help protect the safety of guests and staff. Certain services and amenities may be reduced or unavailable as a result.

7. Decameron Aquarium
Overall Ratings
4 based on 3840 reviews
In the midst of an Antillean environment, this resort has an exceptional architecture with circular towers overlooking the sea at ‘Punta Hansa’ – at the northern end of the Island of San Andres – which allow for wonderful panoramic views of the Caribbean Sea. These buildings are alongside a long wooden dock that leads to a natural pool in the sea and with an aquatic platform ideal for snorkeling and other water sports. The Decameron Aquarium is located approximately 10 minutes from the airport and is a well sought out location for tourists since the longest and most beautiful beach of the island is located only a few blocks away, surrounded by a boardwalk, parallel to a commercial area with restaurants, discos and the most exclusive bars. You will enjoy an enchanting paradise that can be explored completely on foot and where a cultural mixture of English, Spanish, Pirates and Corsairs can be explored. Due to Coronavirus (COVID-19), this property is taking steps to help protect the safety of guests and staff. Certain services and amenities may be reduced or unavailable as a result.
Definitely not guest friendly
Reviewed By Flmike772Definitely not guest friendly. Front desk is horrible to communicate with, they want to make you feel like you need them instead of them needing you, Buffay is just as bad. Wi-Fi does not work, so if you need Wi-Fi stay clear My opinion I would not give it one star, rooms or full of mosquitoes and musky, very old place, checked out early because vacation are supposed to be fun. Not a confrontation at the front desk we’re trying to check in guess!!! Definitely need more training, education!!
8. Decameron Marazul
Overall Ratings
3.5 based on 1530 reviews
Between the ocean and the thick brushes surrounding it, the Decameron Marazul rises as a first class paradisiac hideaway near the Orange Hill area in San Andres Island. Only 15 minutes from the airport and on the via San Luis, the resort is surrounded by a mangrove forest with a white sand private beach and a spectacular sea tinted with the entire spectrum of blue, contrasting the garden and ample green areas reserved for guests. From here, you may visit the most beautiful keys in the archipelago such as Cayo Acuario and Cayo Haynes which are located right in front of the beach, as well as Rocky Cay only 5 minutes away, with a beach and the only rocky key where we have an exclusive club for you to keep on tanning during your vacations on the various island locations.

Wonderful People, Terrible Hotel
Reviewed By Y3707QEangelcI went through RCI to visit this hotel. After paying several exchange fees to RCI and UVC, I was required to pay for all inclusive. My wife and daughter showed up two days late. I had to pay all inclusive even for days they did not stay at the hotel. Read the small prints in your reservation and be aware of this scam. Hotel is okay, however beach is in the mangrove. Hotel tries to clean, but it is a lost battle. Nobody really goes to the beach. You have to take a boat provided by the hotel to go to Aquaria which is a nice place, however it is always very crowded. Staff at the hotel are fantastic. They would go the extra mile to help guests. Beverages are watered down. Hotel breakfast is pre-cooked and served cold. Quality of dessert and food is poor. There are plenty of good restaurants in the island. You are better off staying in a hotel centric to the main town and use tours to go to the nice beaches. Food is relatively affordable in Town and excellent quality. Using RCI was a disadvantage. I could have got the hotel and pay half the price if I have done it directly with the hotel. I feel I have wasted my money by being an RCI member. It is worthless.
