This simple three-pearl hotel makes a good base for travelers seeking proximity to the beach on San Andres Island. With just 16 guest rooms, the atmosphere is tranquil and relaxed, and though spaces are a bit basic, colorful grounds with lush greenery make for an inviting setting. Rooms have flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, and air-conditioning, plus all have private bathrooms -- but not all have hot water showers. The hotel has an outdoor pool with a swim-up bar, a kids' pool, and a restaurant serving breakfast (included in all rates), lunch, and dinner. Though there's a lovely beach right across the street, the location is a bit inconvenient as there's not much in the area. For something in the town of San Andres, check out Portobelo Convention Center (though there's no pool).

Scene
Casual and relaxed mid-range property with simple interiors and colorful, lush grounds
This mid-range family-owned hotel is a relaxed and casual base that attracts budget travelers on a beach vacation. Lush greenery fills the grounds, which are vibrant with color: palm trees feature colorfully painted trunks and the hotel buildings are painted with bright orange and blue hues. Interiors are quite simple, but pleasant enough; the lobby is a small and functional space encased in windows overlooking the grounds. It has some conveniences like vending machines and a collection of books. The restaurant is also a basic affair, but quaint in its simplicity, with white wooden walls contrasting red gingham curtains and table linens. Alfresco dining beneath thatched umbrellas is also available, on a patio sprouting lush plants and palms. Overall, this is a solid choice with a warm and welcoming atmosphere that attracts budget-minded travelers seeking something by the beach -- but those looking for proximity to dining options and other conveniences might want to look elsewhere.
Location
Across the street from the beach on southwestern coast of San Andres island
The hotel is situated right across the street from the beach on the southwestern coast of San Andres island, a Colombian island in the Caribbean that's off the coast of Nicaragua. With lots of coral reefs, it's a popular destination for snorkeling and diving. There's not much in the immediate area; guests will have to drive, or take a cab or bus to explore more of the island or to reach dining options, so it might not be the most convenient location for all. Hoyo Soplador, a hole in the beach that shoots up ocean water, is a five-minute drive from the property. Some of the island's other top attractions include Morgan's Cave (13-minute drive), Spratt Bight Beach (30-minute drive), and Old Point Regional Mangrove Park (30-minute drive). Gustavo Rojas Pinilla International Airport is about a half-hour drive north.
Rooms
Clean, simple rooms have air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, and mini-fridges; plus private bathrooms, but not all have hot showers
Rooms here are fairly simple, but they're clean and homey. White walls and tile floors provide a clean backdrop to simple furnishings and colorful beachy paintings on the walls. Beds are topped with white linens. Colorful throws and accent pillows provide a pop of vibrancy, as do curtains. All rooms have desks, flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, electronic safes, and air-conditioning, and though there's free WI-Fi, it's a bit spotty and not always reliable. Bathrooms are also a bit dated, but they're clean. They have external sinks located outside of the bathrooms, as well as being equipped with walk-in showers. Basic toiletries like soap are provided. Note that not all rooms have hot water showers.
