San Andrés hotellia

Plussat: Breakfast was great as it changed everyday. You get coffee/tea, juice, carbs and fruit. We were never hungry. Alejandro went out of his way to help us book trips/reserve a meal for us at an exclusive restaurant and also gave us tips on where to eat out. The transparent kayak company are literally next door so that was super handy to get to. The owner's dogs were also super friendly and gave you a lovely welcome every time you came home. Maui however is very young and unfortunately ate my trousers that were hanging on the washing line so I would take care in hanging your clothes! I was compensated by the owners however which was very much appreciated. They also went out of their way to make our 4 year anniversary special with a lovely breakfast. It made our day extra special!

Miinukset: The location is a bus ride away from the downtown area (e.g beaches, supermarkets etc) but it's cheap to get around and it doesn't take long. We managed to bus ride around the whole island in about 2 hours!

Miinukset: The Breakfast was not good at all, you get one portion, one day it was a dry sandwich the other day a Sausage, both didn’t taste at all. Furthermore two dogs are constantly walking around in the open kitchen, the hosts are also touching the dogs while preparing the food. Wifi is Not available in the garden houses where we slept, it’s only working in the Kitchen. The host was friendly and gave us advices for beach and restaurant, but when going there, these adviced places weren’t good at all. Would never suggest these spots. If you want to go somewhere from Nagano house you always need bus or taxi, it’s not located close to any restaurant etc. There is no real door between bathroom and bedroom, the lockers on the garden house doors are not very strong / safe. We only stayed two nights and we were disappointed, the good reviews, especially about breakfast, we cannot understand.

Plussat: It’s beautiful house with garden and you can use everything in the house! Kitchen, free water, we could even barrow the scooter to go to the ATM. The room is spacious, everything is clean. And two very nice dogs! The staff makes you feel at home and welcome.

Plussat: The only place I've been where you feel at home. It's basically your house, with two great dogs included.

Plussat: Close to downtown, airport and beaches. Nice air conditioning. Cool garden. Helpful family-staff. Breakfast included. Fair price for the island. Two beautiful dogs!

Plussat: The people are so friendly and want to help you all the time.

Miinukset: The breakfast wasn't really good . You had no choice and they didn't als of you are vegetaris. So die can be better.Maybey they can have more place to sit in the garden of hang some hammockd in the garden.

Plussat: Very Comfortable room and A/C. Scooter rental was very handy !!

Miinukset: Breakfast was ok, it could been better! Staff make you feel like they doing you a favor for your stay.

Plussat: Host was extremely nice and helpful. Place is a gear deal and location is nice.

Miinukset: Na

Plussat: Good location outside of downtown area with great access to rest of island. Hosts were fantastic and really took care of us during our stay. Room was very clean and well kept. Overall experience was great!

Plussat: Rooms was very comfortable, delicious breakfast, friendly staff they helped us in everything, location near to the downtown

Miinukset: Leave the Island

Plussat: Sunset Hotel was an absolute pleasure to stay at. Honestly there is nothing they could improve on. The staff are incredible, the rooms are really big and clean, the breakfast offering was substantial and location was perfect if you are looking to be out of the bustle. Such great value for money.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Staff and facilities were great:)

Miinukset: The fridge in the room keep making a banging noise which kept us awake.

Plussat: I liked of the Cleane as well of the relationship betwen propelida.

Miinukset: Breakfast

Plussat: We had a nice welcome with lots of helpful information. The breakfast was good.

Miinukset: The dinner that we had was very poor - tasteless and carelessly prepared. I am pretty sure that the fish that I ordered had been frozen which one doesn't expect being on a island and situated in front of the sea. The room was in poor condition, very dark and in need of a make-over. There is only rocky shore in front of the hotel.

Plussat: Great staff, nice location away from the busy town. Good snorkeling in front of the hotel.

Miinukset: Little far from the town center

Plussat: Location is great, and was very convenient to dive (our dive center was next door, Buconos)

Miinukset: The pool could have been cleaner (lot of sunscreen residues)

Plussat: Amazing location with super friendly staff and views towards the sunset. A dive center is located on the premises gives you the possibility to go diving just a few meters out directly in the water. Good options aswell for having something to eat and a lot of variety for breakfast. This is a tranquil place so if you are into relaxing this is the right place to be.

Plussat: Aesthetically pretty - room and bathroom were nice, WiFi was good

Miinukset: Middle of nowhere... I got there about 9pm and the place was total darkness ... no where near to get a drink or food Breakfast ok- no choice , I was just given something Pool is lovely to look at but they were using it for scuba diving classes

Plussat: I liked the remote location of the hotel. It was quiet and right in front of the ocean. You can jump right in from a rock and climb out and cross the street and get into the pool. The food was also delicious and the staff very friendly. Comfortable beds and rooms. The only issue we had was more with our own planning. We were there for the triathlon which took place downtown. So a golf cart or motorcycle to get from there to downtown was a must. But you can easily take the bus for a much cheaper price and more wholesome experience. We had a great time and will definitely be back

Plussat: Staff were fabulous - so friendly. The hotel is so peaceful so it’s excellent for a few nights of relaxing!

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: A/C worked and the room was relatively clean.

Miinukset: This is not a hotel; it is a hostel. VERY basic.

Plussat: Good location one block from beach. Fridge in room, breakfast ok.

Miinukset: Many rooms without windows, very basic rooms, no toiletries - only soap.

Plussat: Great location, friendly staff, comfortable beds, included a simple breakfast.

Miinukset: Rooms are bit outdated.

Plussat: The location is very good. You can even walk (15 minutes) from the airport. Very close to the shopping area. Staff are friendly. Good updated facilities. Regatta restaurant (the best in town) is within walking distance.

Miinukset: Beware of the stairs if you have a lot of luggage.

Plussat: Good location Staff very friendly and helpful

Miinukset: Rooms are bit outdated

Plussat: Good location

Miinukset: Needs better quality service from the staff

Plussat: Squeaky clean

Miinukset: The construction of the two buildings next door is a REALLY loud turnoff.

Plussat: Location and cleaningness

Miinukset: Some of the staff were not friendly enogh for a 4 Star Hotel

Plussat: location to the beach

Miinukset: WiFi very very bad or non existent.. food lack of choices

Miinukset: the quality of food was poor. The fact that you could not even invite a friend for drinks at the bar? I understand it is an all inclusive resort, but you should be able to invite friends for drinks at the bar and pay either per consumption or for a day pass. I have been to all inclusive resorts before and that was a first. I paid $325 per day for a Junior Suite which was a joke. Curtains were falling down etc etc

Miinukset: We booked for 4 days and had to leave on the second day for an unexpected emergency. Even after having informed the staff they didn’t refund us any money.

Plussat: The location. The staff. No issues with the hotel staff or breakfast - both very professional.

Miinukset: The hotel needs to work on the water pressure (non existent) and on the WIFI - both extremely bad for the price. My bathroom shower knobs turned both ways non-stop - so I had to call maintenance to come and turn off the water for me.

Plussat: Super clean hotel, good WiFi, good breakfast

Miinukset: Not a beach hotel

Plussat: Beautifull beach and the ocean color

Miinukset: This hotel right next to the water like ElDorado hotel. Thankfully both hotels have agreement to use their facilities.

Plussat: Everything was of high standard, rooms are spacious and we received a free upgrade which was awesome. Night shows by the pool and a beer great and reasonably cheap. Staff very helpful and polite, I would go back to this hotel, breakfast was great.

Miinukset: The one thing I wasn't too pleased is the amount of fried fish, I wish that the fish inhouse was grilled as we had to go out to get the grilled stuff. Not a big issue but since we are near the sea. I think an alternative is always great.

Plussat: Staff very friendy and super nice doing their best to help travellers, whatever for the check-in/out out of normal time or for activities advises

Plussat: Very good price. Owner was extremely helpful and kind with everyone, only 3 blocks from the beach, all rooms have AC and clean beds

Miinukset: Everything was perfect for the price

Plussat: Close to everything you need (Restaurants, grocery, beach, downtown), clean and cozy.

Miinukset: The neighborhood.

Miinukset: My room didn’t have a window, no WiFi, reception only manned during the day and not during lunch. No English spoken at reception.

Plussat: The people working on the hostel were incredible sweet and welcoming. Recommend it

Plussat: This was a very cool , colourful place to stay and the staff working there were extremely friendly and helpful. The place was spotless too and location is quite central. Good value for money - would recommend for a stay on the island!

Miinukset: The room was smaller than expected but very clean and comfortable

Plussat: The staff were incredible. The rooms were spotlessly clean.

Miinukset: No hot water, but it’s rare to find hot water showers on the island

Plussat: Friendly staff.

Miinukset: Small room. Not very nice decorated. Poor wifi (but normal on the island).

Plussat: Perfect location for beach, bars and restaurants.. Absolutely wonderful people running the place..Couldn't fault it!

Plussat: The family/staff was beyond nice and very helpful. Hostel looks amazing and they created a very nice envirement. They clean the room every other day and the facilities every day. When we come visit again we would definitely come here again!! Thanks for everything.

Miinukset: Tip: daily cleaning of the rooms because it gets sandy everyday.

Plussat: Good hotel with comfortable studio apartments. Great location, right in front of the beach with many shops and restaurants around. Staff was really nice and helpful, especially the manager.

Miinukset: No Wi-Fi on the rooms, only in the public areas. Not enough pressure in the shower. Room could use some renovations.

Plussat: Polite stuff, everyday cleaning room, good location, quiet neighborhood, fast solving problems, slow Wi-Fi in room. Reception always available, no English speaking but can find a way to understand each other.. Greetings for Manager Angela !

Miinukset: Nothing..

Plussat: The location was great: the entrance is just at the beachfront, but the rooms are inside an alley, so they are very quiet. The rooms have hot water, fridge and A/C and the WiFi works much better than in other 3-star hotels in Colombia. The staff were very helpful: they kindly kept my luggage after the checkout, as my flight was late at night. They also helped me to book a tour in a very good price.

Miinukset: Nothing really. The hotel exceeded my expectations and it's much better than other 3-star hotels in Colombia. Don't have any great expectations though, it offers just the basic for a short stay.

Plussat: Great location and view

Miinukset: Property is really run down and not worth the price they charge to stay. No wifi in the rooms the shower was cold and the aircon didnt work. Im not sure how it has the booking.com rating it has. Maybe 5 years it would of 9/10 but not now.

Plussat: Nice place with Nice location

Miinukset: No internet in the Room

Plussat: - clean room, although towels were missing in the first day - very close to the beach - beach towels a provided free of charge - generally very friendly staff

Miinukset: - hotel staff organizes tours but with very incompetent organizations (tour was supposed to start at 9AM, finally started at 11.45, no information on what happened or if there would be a tour was given) rather book with another organization - room looked different than on the pictures on booking.com, not quite as nice as shown - no early check-in possible

Plussat: This hotel's location was amazing - right on the main beach strip and a 5-10 min walk to everything! Our room was bright and clean had a side view of the beach.

Miinukset: Only one staff member spoke English (and not very well). Dishes in the fridge weren't clean. Pillows were very uncofmortable. Very poor wifi in our room, we often had to move to the reception to get anything done.

Plussat: Great place, great location! Staff are friendly and helpful. Rooms are very comfortable. Highly recommended

Plussat: Location, staff was really helpful.

Miinukset: Bed was really uncomfortable. The shower does not have a flower. No chairs whatsoever.

Plussat: The only thing good about this hotel is the location, everything else is a lie

Miinukset: Check in process was absolutely horrible. Our room was ready but they wanted a bell hop to walk us to our room for customer service but turned out backfiring on them because the bell hop was busy assisting other customers and it took around 45min-1 hour to go up to our room. They also lied about wifi, as there was no wifi on any floor. The last day there was no electricity or water... also not hot water. Would not recommend staying here at all, not even for location

Plussat: Free drinks at the bar, centralized location (one block from the beach area) including the purchases of tours. Very friendly staff! No photos as the location speaks for itself.

Miinukset: A friend needed the bathroom and we were rudely turned away from using the 2nd floor public bathrooms because they were not a guest at the hotel. There is no phone or mini refrigerators in the rooms.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: It is a very bad hotel, dirty from beginning to end, noisy, just one elevator and the stairs are being repair so it takes forever to go up and down.

Plussat: Location, Breakfast, room

Miinukset: Don't have a map of the island for guest guide.

Plussat: A variety of options!

Plussat: Staff, food & locations

Miinukset: A bit worn down. Windows & doors wouldn’t properly close, so loud at times.

Plussat: Location was very close to the beach and main shopping streets.

Miinukset: Simply not worth the money. Would have gotten a 6 for half the price. Some examples below: 1) Wi-Fi is very weak, almost never working. 2) rooms are poorly maintained and furnished. 3) lightning in the bathroom is insufficient. 4) food is definitely not worth the money. We stopped having dinner there after the second night. And there is no option to book without half board. 5) staff could not speak English in most cases. They sold us a snorkeling trip on the day of our checkout saying that we would be back at 12PM (checkout at 1PM). At the dock, we found out that actually the trip was ending at 1:30PM. We asked the hotel if it was OK to check out an hour later and they claimed we had to pay the full amount for late checkout (half the price of an extra night!). Not flexible at all.

Plussat: The food was excellent. Breakfast and Dinner was provided. The staff was super.

Miinukset: They had some strange rule that if you wanted your towels changed, you had to put your dirty towels in the wash basin. The only problem is that it took us 4 days to find out about the rule. I had to ask for clean towels 4 different times.

Plussat: Excellent service, staff is always willing to serve. facilities are great and there is the advantage to use the pool in the other hotel locations. Food was amazing and variate every day.

Miinukset: n.a

Plussat: The location is superb. It is right at the center of the island. It is very near many restaurants and the beach. We were able to use the facilities of the other Sol Caribe hotels for free. There is a free transport that brought us to the beach and the other Sol Caribe hotel. Our package had free breakfast and dinner. The food is very good. For dinner, you can generous servings of free wine.

Miinukset: The room we got didn't allow us to open the windows and so we felt congested. We wanted to breathe in fresh air and not rely on the aircon for air. The wifi is slow, but this didn't matter much to us.

Plussat: Splendid view over the island from upper floor rooms. Surprisingly good buffet dinner which was included in the price. Location is good, staff is friendly

Plussat: Location. 2nd room was fine. First was an ugly joke. 401 fine. 203 awful.

Miinukset: Check in staff rude and bitchy

Plussat: Staff is really great (all of them are always available for help in gentle way). The coffee-break has a lot of options (fruits, juice, egg, types of bread, etc etc) and dinner is OK. The location is amazing: right in the center!

Miinukset: The shower has some problems cause during the bath we got temperature variations in the water (even without touching the tap).

Plussat: The room large clean confortable. The bed wonderful. The food, too good

Miinukset: Perfect everything.

Plussat: Beautiful and traditional family home

Miinukset: There was nothing we didn't like. It was a great place to stay

Plussat: The location! Near to the best beach of the island...

Miinukset: The owner can speak only Spanish....

Plussat: We liked the location, because it was 10-20 minutes walk from the nicest beach on the island and it had a more local feel to it. We absolutely loved the host - Janete. She was the most hospitable, family like person away from home you could imagine - absolutely amazing! The cleanliness was great and so was Wi-Fi. More on our blog thekcouple.

Miinukset: We didn't like the location, because it was far away from the centre. There's no hot water in the bathroom. More on our blog "thekcouple"

Plussat: Really nice location, for me the best on the island. The house is a family house and I appreciated to live with a local family.

Miinukset: We cannot cook, but they opened an exemption and we could use the kitchen.

Plussat: We enjoyed being in a quiet part of the island in a traditional old house and getting to see and be around local people. You can clearly see that the house is away from the city centre so if you want to be around bars and restaurants then book somewhere else or prepare to get the bus to the town centre. This place is best for people who want to be away from the crowds, see the real local people and be close to one of the nicest beaches on the island. From here, it is easy to walk to the other side of the island, you can swim and snorkel in many places. We loved the area and we were happy we chose this place - the house is very special and you have to appreciate it for what it is! We loved sitting on the balcony looking out to the ocean too! The owners were very friendly and accommodating and we would recommend this place to our friends and family!

Plussat: Opal was really nice and helpfull. Beds were very comfy and a beautiful beach just 10 min away. Beautiful house

Miinukset: Not many food options around, but that's part of being away from the centre

Plussat: Lovely old style house, friendly host, kitchen facilities and location out of the main town close to quieter beaches.

Plussat: Very friendly host, safe area and near a great beach.

Miinukset: Rooms facing the street were noisy. It is walking distance but not very convenient for the beach.

Plussat: The bed was comfy, the private bathroom had everything we needed, and the room was clean. We really appreciated the use of the kitchen facilities and fridge. I got a lovely surprise birthday treat from Janette. Janette and her family were friendly and always greeted us with smiles. The Lodge was a 20 minute walk to Rocky Cay, a beautiful beach and Marine Protected Area.

Miinukset: It would have been nice to have the garbage changed once during our 5 day stay because it began to smell. Janette, the manager, was very attentive to our needs but was a bit controlling, for example she was disappointed when we didn´t choose her recommended tours. There was some extra stress because of low rainwater levels, which is common on the island at this time of year.

Plussat: We had a beautiful stay! It’s not that central but it’s perfect if you want to enjoy the quiet side of the island. The staff is amazing! They are all so friendly and heartwarming we really felt us home there. The owner is just amazing and so friendly. If you want to go to the center you can just rent a scooter and you’re there in like no time. We really loved it !

Plussat: Such a nice family! Very helpful with anything you need or want to do

Plussat: Host was very friendly and accommodating. Since the hostel is a little far from the city center she let us park a motorbike that we rented in her lot.

Miinukset: The bathroom had poor ventilation so our bathing suits became moldy when we left them to dry.

Plussat: very nice lady who runs the hostel. you can get free drinking water and also rent a scooter.

Miinukset: you have to walk a bit to get to the road and then you have to take the bus to reach the city center.

Plussat: Small, family run hotel in a quiet area. The Mum, Luis must be one of the nicest, kindest people I’ve ever met. It’s quite a walk from town and the main beach, so feels quite out of the way and solitary for lone travellers, but great if you’re a couple and want to be in a peaceful, relaxing place. The masseuse who stays there 5 days a month is AMAZING. She’s really skilled and experienced, don’t miss the opportunity to have a treatment with her.

Plussat: The staff was amazing, the bed very good, the room very clean, bathroom very clean, they cleaned the room every day and gave us some advices for the island, booked a trip for us, get us taxis, they are very welcoming, free drinking water

Miinukset: It is about 30 minutes to walk to the center, the kitchen could be cleaner

Plussat: The attendance is very attention, receptive and educates. The room is very good, bed is big and awesome. The Hostel is very beautiful and the beer is cheap.

Miinukset: Don't has breakfast, it is not cool. The location is very good, calm, but is far away for center, near a 40 minutes walking. I like to walk, but at night is not so cool.

Plussat: Very cool building built into the rock! The staff is extremly nice and helps you with all you need:) nice terrasse as well to sit with other guests or the iguanas that climbe around the rocks!

Plussat: Comfort, staff and cleanliness

Miinukset: Location

Plussat: The rooms, the staff was extremely helpful and nice

Miinukset: Distance from the city, but that's what made it cheaper and worth it more compared to what else was available

Plussat: The staff were super friendly and the location is perfect, it's right in front of the beach. I went with my partner for a romantic weekend and I really liked the hotel, the shows in the evening were the best bit, incredible choreography and a variety of shows which gave us a little insight into Colombian culture and the history of San Andres

Plussat: The location was great.

Miinukset: The hot water in the shower wasn’t working. Facilities were very old and badly maintained. Although all meals were included, the food was not good and there were very few options to choose from. WiFi signal was really slow and inconvenient.

Plussat: Very good location , staff and food

Miinukset: Needs a bit more maintenance work .

Plussat: Location, food, drinks, staff and the shows

Miinukset: Only have 70% charged to my card and then being asked to pay the 30% when I arrived - it said initially the whole amount would be charged before check in, just caused a little confusion but very minor.

Plussat: Location right in front of the beach Night shows every night

Miinukset: Bartender & super basic drinks and cocktails Poor variety of food and desserts

Plussat: Location was great. Right in front of Spratt Beach. You can walk out, walk across the street and you are in the middle of everything that is happening in town. The staff is friendly, the buffet is pretty decent. Half Board is a good option. You are not tied down to the property. This is downtown, so if you like a party scene, want to walk down to the beach, grab ice-cream or a beer, everything is accessible to you.

Miinukset: The rooms were not great. They were small, the bathroom was ok. The TV had lots of static, first level rooms are not the best option. We were told, couples get first level and family rooms were upstairs. The cleaning crew leaves the doors open while cleaning, which all the mosquitoes congregate in your room by the time you get back from the beach. The pool is basic. Beds were not so comfortable. Even though we put a "do not disturb" sign, our room was entered and cleaned regardless. That was not comforting. I would overall still stay, and make sure I get a room on the second level with a balcony.

Plussat: It had good location right in front of the beach and shopping area

Miinukset: It is overpriced for its real value, the location is good but it gets really noisy at night, and the alcohol they use for drinks and cocktails are very cheap quality

Miinukset: Food options

Plussat: The bed was comfy.

Miinukset: No hot water in the shower, the toilet was working 1 day on 2. The room was really small. The WiFi didn’t work.

Plussat: Great location. On ocean. Large rooms. Good selection of foods.

Miinukset: All was good.

Plussat: It is exactly what it says on the tin!

Plussat: Nice welcome from the hosts. Calm.

Miinukset: A bit far away from everything No restaurants, you have to eat there, except you have one of these golf cars. Restaurant medium quality. Small bathroom

Plussat: Very nice village style hotel. Staff friendly and helpful. I got there with sick motion from catamaran and they took good care of me and go the extra miles to accommodate my good requests!

Plussat: Super nice beds and pillows! Rooms where clean and the staff super friendly! Great dinner!

Miinukset: It’s a bit remote from everything else, But perfect place to chill out! The Wifi where not the best!

Plussat: The property was quiet and tranquil and good value for money. The room have air con. It was child friendly with the pool and playground. Also has it has larger family rooms as a result there were other families with kids for my children to play with.

Miinukset: It was a little isolated and the free bus only goes once a day at 8.30am. If it’s full it goes earlier so don’t bank on that for getting around the island. The main house is pretty but it only houses the reception and dining area. The rooms are in blocks to the side and not as pretty. The food was limited and because the hotel is isolated you don’t have any choice for dinner. I found the food difficult- bread could not be toasted for breakfast, there is no choice at breakfast, fish dishes included meat and veggie options were a struggle. There are also a lot of animals in the property begging for food at dinner or eating off finished plates. There is little English spoken at this property and reception is not always manned.

Plussat: This place is heaven for families: located in a quiet part of San Andres and surrounded y greenery. It’s a bit of a walk to the bus stop and taxis are expensive for Colombian standards, but the owners run a good shuttle service to and from town centre so you can get to all the amenities for free! My children loved the swimming pool and garden area and the restaurant always served lovely food: though you only get 3 choices for dinner, they were varied and always well prepared and reasonable portions. All in all, an excellent stay!

Plussat: Everything the staff and location is great

Miinukset: Everything was great

Plussat: silent and nice

Miinukset: shower with salt water and very hard bed

Plussat: The location is good.

Miinukset: It's a weird hotel in the sense that only the lobby it's new but the rest it's old and kinda moldy, its like they don't have things figured out, they told us they had room service but there's no menu on their rooms, and when we called the restaurant they said they don't bring food up to the rooms because of the cockroaches, so we were like wait, you have cockroaches? They ended up sending food but with no tray. There drunk people blasting music with their portable speaker everywhere but the staff doesn't say anything. In conclusion I don't think its with the money we paid.

Plussat: The breakfast was not bad.

Miinukset: The staff were not very welcoming or helpful. The rooms were old and dated. Only cold water. Very expensive for he cost.

Plussat: breakfast was good . variety daily

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: The room was really comfortable, good pool, nice staff. Excellent location

Miinukset: The wifi was really bad

Plussat: Restaurant, pool and room

Miinukset: no smoking room

Plussat: Clean, great location, very good breakfast. Stayed here 4 different times on vacation. Newly renovated

Plussat: The lobby was the nicest part of the hotel, some of the staff was friendly and some was not at all. The location was good but very noisy all night long. The ocean was nice and warm,

Miinukset: I was disappointed with the rooms. The front door was insecure with a simple locking knob and no deadbolt. The windows worthy filthy and the frame on on was coming off. There was pounding all day long from the room above. The breakfast was boring with cut up hot dogs, undercooked eggs and some fruit. I think that the hotel was very old and in need of a face lift.

Plussat: Excellent breakfast, lots of variety. Great location on the main beach. Close to airport (could walk there in 15 mins). Good Air-con. Free welcome cocktail. Reception staff attentive, helpful and friendly. Rooms cleaned early every day. Great little pool on roof with awesome views with bar. WiFi worked well on all floors.

Miinukset: There was sometimes an odd smell of stagnant water in the air sometimes, but noticed other hotels in the area had the same issue when walking past. The bathrooms have no ventilation, so if you use hot water for the shower the bathroom will become very humid and stuffy!

Plussat: Good food

Plussat: The location was the only thing we liked. nothing else.

Miinukset: We paid a lot of money to stay and the service was very poor. Pool and bar closes at 6pm. Some of the staff were very rude to us and my family. Bathrooms not working properly. No hot water.

Miinukset: Pleasant owner

Plussat: The cove beach is perfect for snorkeling. It's rocky beach but the water is awesome

Miinukset: To go to the centre of the island you need to take a taxi....

Plussat: The atmosphere is excellent, the owner very friendly. Great attention. I'd definitely stay at the same hotel again.

Plussat: Nice decoration and environment

Miinukset: The bathroom did not have a shower head, the toilet was broken and there was no hot water

Miinukset: The worst hotel ever. Bathroom was awful. No hot water, no internet, food was also really bad. But the worst thing was client reception and hospitality : we have never seen such a bad welcome !

Plussat: The location is far from the center, you can't nothing at night because the transportation is so difficult and expensive.

Plussat: We had a pleasant stay at Buddha Villa. Although it was not as sunny as we hoped, the property was big enough to find a good spot for reading and relaxing. The breakfast was good, the host baked eggs every morning and served a different fresh juice and fruit every day. The property is not very close to restaurants or beaches, but we rented a scooter and I would definitely recommend that. A taxi to the center/airport is 30.000COP (around €9,-). There are around 8 rooms, which are all pretty spacious (I think), with a lot of privacy. The room is cleaned every day (unfortunately, no new towels) and AC is good. Watch out for mosquitos.

Plussat: Catalina who was in charge to the reception desk, and everyhting else, made us feel at home.

Plussat: Like - Decor That's all I can think

Miinukset: Time for reality check and true facts I booked it via booking.com through looking at the photos and there was huge difference Pool - It wasn't cleaned at all during my 3 days stay - full of insects and leaves Breakfast - 8am to 9.30am ONLY Bathroom - There is no shower cap just a pipe with water, no shampoo or soap. only bottle of hand soap Room - Be careful as it has ants all over the room and bathroom Location - It is 9kms away from the main beach so taxi is 30000 mil pesos and bus is 2400 mil pesos. Be careful with taxi drivers as they CHEAT a lot on this island. Highly recommend to rent a motorbike or scooter for 50000 mil pesos a day, no license is required. Payment - They want you to pay in advance so that you are locked and have no option to change hotel. If you want to change the front desk lady will simply tell you, you can go to the other hotel once you have paid in full There is no restaurant nearby so make sure you have your dinner before coming to the hotel. Bring your own water, beer or soft drinks before returning back as there is nothing available in the hotel.

Plussat: The breakfast service is good and organized. They were really kind to help me with my baggage when I was in providencia with my wife.

Plussat: Room was clean and breakfast was good

Miinukset: No air-conditioning in the Portabelo beach so we were moved to Portabelo Plaza

Plussat: the location / il posto dove si trova / la ubicación

Miinukset: since the first moment they didn’t make me feel like i was in vacation / there was no person available to help me with my luggage - i had to beg for one-, they made me fill up a form about non responsibility in case of lost stuff . the story about this is long but i’d never suggest this place.

Miinukset: the view was to a property that was still in construction
