Crab Cay-Cayo Cangrejo

Reviewed By MX213 - Mexico City, Mexico

We were the first ones on the island the day we visited. Not even the cashier was there to charge us admission. As the island is on the east side, it gets the morning sun, which illuminates the myriad colors of the reef and lagoon. It was spectacular — especially since we were solo. The admission is for the full day, so if you do a full day boat tour (as we did) we started and ended the trip there - our boat captain dropped us off around 330 for 1.5 hours of sunbathing on the well-maintained dock steps from the lagoon. It gets popular in the afternoons with kids and locals and the food/beverages were sold out and closed by the time we arrived around 330, so plan accordingly (no water to purchase).

Johnny Cay

Reviewed By mapisaba - San Francisco, United States

Beautiful place to go. Water is a little aggressive so it is important to follow instructions (stay within the swimming area). The water is absolutely beautiful and very warm. There were lockers to keep the belongings. Food was also fabulous (fried red snapper was the best of all 4 fish).

Cayo Acuario

Reviewed By 981mariajoseh

San Andrés is a Colombian island in the Caribbean Sea, off the coast of Nicaragua. It is known for coral reefs and reggae music. The last 3 years I went on January 1th month with my family and this year I went on January 3th to January 8th with all my family we were like 20 people. I stayed in a hotel called, San Luis Village, near to a famous restaurant called Francesca. The sea is very beautiful, for example one day we stayed in the hotel, the next day we went to de aquarium, open sea, swimming, diving, and in the night we went shopping and eat at the center. The next day we went around the island, and we get down in the places we want. There are more activities that can be done for example swimming with fishes, going to the natural pool, diving up to 50 meters, and if you go with friends you can go one day on a yacht in the open sea and find a floating bar called Ibiza to have a very cool party on your yacht. I like San Andres beaucse of all the activities that we can do, because I have already done them all, because of the sea, restaurants, and the people.
