This should be a quick stop to see the blowhole. It's not a most see but pretty interesting. The locals will make you buy something like a drink to take a photo with the blowhole. If you wait long enough, you could see a pretty big explosion of the sea through the hole. It's cool, but be prepared to wait in a line for a photo.

Proceed at your own risk. I went there, and the natives said it was free, but they will insist and persist that you buy a drink!!! When i went there was no wind. It was just a hole. If you end up going to the hole, they get very mad if you don't buy anything!!! Our piña coladas were not good.

Check the tide before coming and expect paying at least 20-30k per couple ITS NOT FREE even though they say it, they’ll charge anyway or you will not be allowed through, and after they secure your money then they will mention there was no wind/high tide The worst part is that the drinks taste worse than hand sanitizer

The blowhole/s here most of the time are just a lil hohe in the rocks, nothing happens. Its supposed to be free, but the scamming locals in the area will rip you off for parking, try to charge you to see it and force you to buy something from them. They also get aggressive if you don't want to comply. Definitely not worth the hassle and unless it's big swells there is nothing to see anyway. My advice, avoid this area. It's not worth risking your safety. Very disappointing and frankly quite dangerous.

Agree with other reviews. Not that impressive and vendors make you buy things from them. Basically a hole in the ground that the waves push water up through and didn’t when we were there. Implication seems they’ll mess with your car if you don’t buy things.

We were touring the island with our mule so we gave it a quick stop. You can park on the side of the road, so you don't need to pay or buy a drink for parking. As soon as you park there are very aggressive touts telling you that it is required to buy a drink to see the hole. This is a lie, it is open to the public. Just keep walking and walk through the many drink shops to get to it. We did start talking with one of the shop owners named Oscar who was not aggressively selling and was very nice. We ended up buying a drink from him. We visited at low tide with almost no wind (or waves) to make the water shoot through. You could still feel the warm air pushed up. It was actually a cool experience because we jumped in the water at the shoreline and swam up under the reef to the bottom of the hole. It was a cool alternative way to experience it.

Stopped by for a bit and was rushed by vendors trying to sell their food or drinks to us. The waves weren’t that strong so not much to see or experience. Will try again in future and let you all know how it was.

This place is amazing. Great view. It is a bit far from the center of the city, but if you take but to get there from the downtown, it takes around 40 minutes to arrive and it costs 3.600 Colombian pesos. The entrance to West view and piscinitas is 5.000 Colombian pesos per person. There you can dive and see a lot of marine fauna.

It's a small bar with plastic chairs and sunbeds, a lot of local people. They don't accept dollars for the entrance ( 3 doll per person) only card, but inside, you can not buy the drinks if u don't have pesos. You can enter the water by jumping 4m high, water slides, or metal staircases. Not recommend

La Piscinita is a great spot to spend a couple of hours enjoying the sea. The entrance fee is 10k per person, and honestly, 1 to 2 hours is plenty to enjoy what it offers. There are lounge chairs where you can relax between swims, plus diving boards and a slide that make it fun for both kids and adults. If you bring snorkeling gear, you can spot some small fish in the clear water, which is a nice bonus! It’s a simple place but well worth a visit for a refreshing dip and some light snorkeling in a relaxed environment.

Amazing experience! The water was fanatic, there were plenty of fish swimming with us while in the water. It can get a bit crowded at times though. A must to visit when in San Andrés.

It was amazing, definitely not to be missed.

An excellent place to visit... behind to west view ecological and turistical park, is a place similar attended by native people and you don't have to pay the entrance, only to drink and eat something there

Beautiful clear blue waters and visible aquarium fish. Volcanic type rocks this so wear good water shoes. Much less crowded and calmer waters than Sprat bright which everyone seems to flock to.

The most beautiful place in the island! You have great snorkeling here it’s quiet and there are 2 nice restaurants / places to sit. Definitely a good place for your afternoon-evening

Nice place, nice vines, nice swimming. Not the best place for snorkelling but overall it's good. Can find some food and drinks (also across the road) but don't expect a lot of convenience. Nice that you can also get some packed icecreams. The place can rent you gear for snorkelling which is great. I highly recommend it.

Arrived by buggy (there is parking just across the road, next to the restaurant), around 10am and at that time there was plenty spots in the shade. Great spot for snorkel and we also used the slide and jumped from the platforms. We had a good time but not sure we would spend there all day. 5000 cop for lockers.

Absolutely loved. Well organized. Great views and clear water with lots of beautiful fish (good for snorkeling). There are two jumping platforms and a toboggan. You can also rent life jackets for a fair price. The restaurant's kitchen seems to be clean, but we did not take any chances to eat there. There is a nice restaurant across the road. To pay attention: there's no first-aid kit available at the facility. The EMS on the island is not well planned for minor injuries. As an open knee the we saw a woman being cared out there. Be aware of the rocks while swimming and going up the stairs.

Great experience. Lots of fish to swim with. Slide is fun. Come early as it's a small area and lots of people. Only 8000 pesos entrance and life vests are 5000 or 10000 depending on type. Take the "El Cove" bus from downtown for 4500 pesos each way... about 30 minute ride.

The staff was not friendly at all, seemed like they would want to be anywhere but not there. They feed the fish with bread, so people can see them really close to the shore. We were there on a Sunday and it was full of people. The chairs were dirty and we had to go one by one in the water so our things will still be there when we return. They close at 5pm, so can’t stay for the sunset. Unfortunately, on that side of the island there aren’t many sandy beaches, so we gave it a try. For a swim it’s okay, as they have a leader, but not worth the money.

Great experience to spend the day in San Andrés. The best part for me was swimming with all the fish around, there were many! I loved it At the end of the safe area, you could see a stingray swimming touching the ground (I felt pretty safe, it was quite deep) The slide and the trampoline are also a great thing to experience! Note that if you don’t have swimming goggles, you’ll have to buy one there, they don’t rent it. We paid 45,000 COP (approximately 12 dollars at the time) and they have other options.

It's a great place to learn about Henry Morgan and his life, people there is very nice

They tried to entertain the visitors and to justify the price of the entry, but to be honest, I think they forced things too much and the overall quality of everything was not good enough.

It was ok, if you have the time do it, but if you are in crunch, I might skip it. Is all run by locals, so that's also a nice way to help out, and learn some history about the Island.

It's not worth stopping and seeing only if you have young children would I consider.

Overpriced and not that great or interesting. Lot of mosquitos. I guess its fun for kids who like pirates but I didnt really enjoy. People working there are friendly though

Terrible! This place is so bad I can’t believe people actually go here. Of course, I spent the $20,000 COP entry fee and joined the tour so I’m guilty of being a patron too. Unfortunately, I have nothing positive to say about this excursion - - AVOID IT! The people who work here are all very nice so I feel bad writing a negative review. But, I am simply being honest in my review of this terribly disappointing experience.

Nice place to hear some old stories about the island past and legends about Morgan finely narrated by the locals, it is a quick visit and most of the stuff seems flase or newer but some interesting old stuff,. Good to contribute to the people living nearby

BEWARE OF DROWNING!!! My dad almost lost his life here!! Please, if you are not a confident swimmer, rent the damn lifejacket or pay for the boat. I came here with my whole family with the snorkel equipment, when coming back to the beach, the tide was high and we ended up in a deep area, then my dad got panicked and started to drown. Luckily, I was able to assist him and the rest of my family was able to reach to a shallow area (even though they don't swim well). This was a really traumatic experience that I wish no one else lives (I thought we would all die, seriously). It's very easy to underestimate the danger and because of being stingy we almost get a tragedy, so please be careful. The place itself is very beautiful, I would put more stars but I want to alert other tourists so they don't live what I did. Apparently there used to be a rope that would ease the walk but now it's not there anymore, plus there are no lifeguards or anyone to help. I am really concern about this place because of what I lived and how I saw other people almost drowning.

Loved this beach. It was clean. Water temp very nice. Found a spot to leave our bags. No need to rent a bed. Public transport is not the best here

Be aware of scams. When you get there they will yell at you and say that "you can't be there". You're not allowed to hang around this little island without paying an extra fee for snorkeling or whatever they come up with

Great beach, good food, & great service

A great beach bar with a great restaurant. Would definately advise you to go to this place if you're on San Andres. Rocky Cay beach experience is one of the best in San Andres, the walking to Rocky Cay island is excellent and you could easily do it with your kids as well. This beach bar completes the chain and you could easily get a great day at the beach here. You got lokers for 5000COP (they ask for 15000COP but 10k is gurantee for your key), you got clean restrooms. Restaurant has good fresh products (have in mind that there is no clean water on this island except the one sold in stores). They will not charge you money for any kind of beach seating as long as you order. Tip: be sure after you order to ask them to give you a bracelet, otherwise you'll be asked to pay when you'll need to use the restrooms.

Great place that's chill and not super crazy like Johnny Cay. You can also rent snorkeling gear from people or bring your own. Rocky Cay beach on the mainland is also quite nice.

Beautiful place to head and cross. It’s an easy path in the ocean. You can rent snorkel equipment, lockers and there are restaurants and bars. The mainland beach is more tranquil and leas crowded than the main beach.

Stopped by and had fried calamari with coconut rice, both were excellent! The restaurant has some rock geysers on the back side that are neat to watch while eating. Great view and quick service.

One of the best fishes i have ever had.

Excellent food. Breathtaking view of the sea. Amazing service....I was new to the island, and my waitress went above and beyond to tell me about how to get around, where to go, etc. Highly recommend!

We have rented a Mule and got here doing the tour of the island. We stopped for some food and a beer. No vegetarian option, as usual, but they had some sides that my wife combined into a meal. I had the fish casserole (seafood chowder-like soup) and it was good.

Don’t trust the schedule written on google. It opens randomly. It might get there just like me a some open time to find the restaurant closed and the lady tell you that it’s not her problem and that I should have asked her (I am staying one hour away from there). Not worth your time.

Food was delicious. Staff is very nice. Try the guanabana juice!! The patacones were so fresh.

Very nice place, quiet and very tasty

Attentive staff, secure parking, plenty of seating or lounge options, perfectly cooked fish, fair prices, and easy beach access. They have staff and cameras so you can explore the beach and go for a swim knowing you belongings are safe.

Good food vibes are perfect and lots of friendly dogs everywhere. Fried fish is mandatory

Great place with one of best drinks I had in Colombia, and amazing food. Especially recommend Ceviche and grilled octopus with chimichurri and balsamico - heaven in your mouth. Beach has white sand, in general perfect place to spend your holidays

Really disappointing experience. We ordered a dish and waited for over an hour for it to arrive. When I finally asked to cancel the order because of the long wait, the waitress refused and handled the situation very poorly. The customer service was extremely unprofessional and made the experience even worse. Definitely not coming back and wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone looking for good service.

All good with this beautiful place. Excellent customer services and very familiar environment. The only necessary thing in this place is having showers and wifi

Absolutely the worst experience I have ever endured in my existence, on top of being ignored and waiting around for the hotel guest to be taken cared of first, the food comes out cold 2 times, the frustrated waiter grabs the plate and returns it pissed off like I’m supposed to eat a roasted lobster tail cold with cold rice and cold potatoes, when they asked how was the service I tell them the worst never in my life, you have one waiter for 16 tables and her response was oh yeah 4 people didn’t show up for work, wow ok so if you can’t operate because people didn’t show up for work then don’t open, I felt robbed, we went their bc my wife wanted to try another place other than Francesca’s but trust me don’t waste your money at this “beach club” it’s not a beach club it’s an over flow from the meager hotel that’s 2 blocks away. You’ve been warned.

Great place to spend several hours at the beach but super crowded on weekends. It's not ON the beach and there is another business in front on the sand but super easy access to the beach and you can have you own table for food and drinks for hours. Very safe with lockers available, good staff. We returned for a second day.

Very nice little restaurant with an awesome view and seaside tables

Friendly staff , the Margharitas was amazing, beautiful view. The way they ask for gratuity isn’t the best and I think they could work on that a little , but still one of my favourite places in the island. Wish they took visa though

This place is fantastic and underestimated !! 😍 You can find a spot for a sunbathing or in a shadow. Also, there are beautiful locations to take a photo. You also can do snorkeling here (and use their masks if you don't have any). As for the food — wow!!! We were lucky to try fruta del pan here with amazing shrimps and fish! And the coconut was the most tasty from all we tried on the island! The service also was great — very fast and smiley ☺️🫶 The only thing — it would be nice if they fixed the water in the toilet

Beautiful location on the water. Unfortunately the service is horrible (slow, rude, missed dishes) and the food is mediocre and overpriced. They tried to overcharge us for food never brought to us. Overall unpleasant experience… best to skip this place.

One of the girls (the one who speaks English) actually likes working here. The others behave as if they were doing us a huge favor by serving us.

No physical menus, slow service, dirty tables. Too expensive for the quality of the place

Great place for swimming and drink. Very cosy and nice atmosphere ! Recommend :)

Food was good compared to what you find on the island. We had to wait around 1h during lunchtime to get a table. Food is fresh and is tasty! I recommend it for lunch. However as everywhere in San Andres the service has its flaws. We waited 1h for the main dishes after being seated as the waiters forgot about our food. Overall I recommend and would come back

Will not be back! NOT recommended for couples. This is the second time I’ve been here and have had to sit in a corner if we wanted to sit outside. All the outside tables are reserved for groups of 4 or more. The tables were half empty and there was no line. But we were refused seating in the outside area with a good view. Tables remained empty during our entire stay there. Food was nothing exceptional. Bland and without any flavor. I ordered shrimp this time and Salmon the last time and was not impressed with either.

The food at Donde Francesca was absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. However, the service was extremely slow. From the moment we sat down, it took nearly two hours to receive our food. While we enjoyed the meal once it arrived, the long wait really took away from the overall experience. Hopefully, they can work on improving the speed of service, because the food is definitely worth it.

This is a nice place with a nice location, but as for the service and food quality very average. There is much better food to be had on the island. This is a good spot to grab drinks and enjoying the beach, but everything else is ehhh.

Beautiful View, Deeply Disappointing Experience Let's start with the positive: the restaurant's location and view are magnificent. Unfortunately, that's where the positive aspects of our visit ended. ​While Colombians are known for their warmth, our welcome from the host, Nidian, was incredibly unpleasant and set a negative tone for our entire meal. She showed no understanding of how to accommodate a family, seeming more concerned with staff rotation than the guest experience. The culinary experience was a major letdown. With one exception, the dishes were bland and poorly executed. ​Shrimp Rice & Arroz Caldoso: Both dishes were desperately in need of seasoning. They were watery and tasteless. ​Grilled Fish: Acceptable, but not memorable. ​Side Dishes: The coconut rice was flavorless, and the salad was minimal and appeared old. ​Garlic Octopus: This was the sole highlight of the meal—tender and well-seasoned. ​ Beverages: The "natural" juices were disappointingly artificial, tasting of sugar more than fruit. For a final bill for 4 plates of over $400,000 COP, the value was simply not there. You are paying a premium for the view, while the food and service fall drastically short. We left feeling very disappointed.

Food is authentic, staff is nice and very acomodating, immediately in front of a beach which is probably the best on the island. The downside is way too many people and the loud and obnoxious music playing constantly. Either from the hut / bar next door or from people on the beach listening on loudspeakers.

Incredible food! Best on the island 🏝

I got in with my fam of 11 by reseving the day before and putting a 500k that were returned. Amazing views, professional service, and great food. As much as I respect the salmon, it wasn't for me. I wanted my salmon cooked medium,I even said I wanted it medium well but I was flatly told they don't do such thing. So when I got my salmon well done it was just not as tender or flavorful as I usually like it. The sauce was interesting but lacked flavor, and for having "teriyaki" in the description I sure didn't taste it or see it. The red coloring was also an interesting choice for covering the entire salmon, and the sauce turned into a jelly fastThe guacamole was a nice pairing, but could've been a bit more mature and soft. The cocktail I had was great, perhaps a bit too strong for my tasting, but well worth. Lobster was good and there is a wide selection of preparations for anyone. A drink my aunt had was a bit too watery compared to the cheaper and more fruitful drinks found on the beach. The view of the ocean is beautiful but don't be surprised to be surrounded by a lot of yachts. The service was as said, professional, fast, and efficient. I wouldn't have minded some more cheerfulness or welcoming vibes, but hey, she was fast, accurate, and efficient. I think that the restaurant is well worth if affordable, as the atmosphere is unique and the menu is vast and specialized. PS: celebrating birthdays in this restaurant would be a good option, but it's also small drawback because don't be surprised to be hearing a lot of birthday singing.

The food was truly amazing—each dish offered a unique blend of classic and modern flavors that stood out. The view, both during the day and in the evening, added to the overall ambiance and made the experience memorable. We enjoyed it so much, we went twice. However, the service left much to be desired. Despite the restaurant being nearly empty during our afternoon visit (only three tables occupied), it took an unusually long time to place our order and receive drinks. Be prepared to spend up to three hours here, even when it's not busy.

Wonderful place! The food is astonishingly delicious while space provides a magical atmosphere. Pay attention that you need a reservation to get in quickly (2-3 weeks in advance), otherwise you need to wait for non-reserved pool of the tables ~ 1 hour. I had only the impression that too many guests are served by too less staff, hence do not expect to be served quickly. All in all, worth all the money and time!

This place has great atmosphere and appeal. Right along the water and a cool breeze cooling you down for the humid weather. To start off, the wait to go in was about an hour from when we put our name on the list. We came since this spot was recommended. I'd say it was pretty underwhelming for the amount of money we spent. We had ceviche, 2 types of croquettes, tuna, lobster tails, conk and crab. Nothing was memorable or satisfying. Only redeeming factor was the portions for some of the mains were huge. Otherwise, I probably won't return.

We ordered the Regatta lobsters and the Johnny Cay ceviche. The lobster was absolutely delicious, fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. The ceviche, however, was a bit disappointing as it was served with a sauce that tasted like ketchup, which didn’t quite match our expectations. We arrived around 2:30 PM for a late lunch, and the place was full, creating a lively and pleasant atmosphere. For dessert, we tried the chocolate cake and maracuyá (passion fruit); it was outstanding, We also had a bottle of wine, which was surprisingly good and felt worth the price. The total bill came to 490,000 COP, but considering we had lobster and wine, it was reasonable. Would definitely recommend for a nice lunch or dinner by the sea.

Such a gorgeous restaurant, you must visit if you’re in San Andrés. The food was delicious, the atmosphere is one of a kind. The view where we sat down was spectacular. I loved peacefully seeing out to the ocean and felt that life sat still for a moment. The music is very mellow and goes well with the theme of the restaurant. It’s very colorful and the service is decent. The wait time for the food was slightly on the longer side but we didn’t mind.

Food was good but not outstanding, some dishes we tried were a bit tasteless. Portions are good. Pina coladas are original and very tasty! Service was friendly and all was okay. The atmosphere with the lights and all is really nice. It is the most beautiful restaurant on the island (but that's not so hard as all the others do not really invest a lot in the appeal and renovation of the places). Overall it is too crowded and you sit very close to your neighbors.

I had one of my worst dining experiences at Beer Station - San Andrés. I visited the restaurant with a Spanish-speaking friend who clearly communicated my order: a hamburger with only lettuce and onion in the bun, without any additional toppings or sauces. When my order arrived, it had sauces inside the bun. I politely asked for a replacement, and while the waiter seemed friendly and assured me he would prepare a new one, I was disappointed to find that instead of making a fresh burger, they simply tried to wipe off the sauces and present it as new. Upon noticing the leftover sauces, I explained again that this was not what I had ordered. To make matters worse, the waitress never came over to acknowledge the mistake or apologize for the poor service. This experience was very frustrating and unprofessional. A restaurant should respect its customers’ requests and ensure food is prepared as ordered. I hope the management takes customer satisfaction more seriously in the future.

Good stuff, very chill in the evenings. Be careful not to touch that nasty restroom door. Employees are touching it too after washing their hands.

Ordered my food and drink with my brother. The menu says Philly Cheesesteak in English so it’s not a translation problem. drinks came really fast and then my brothers food came. After 15 minutes waiting for my food I asked the waitress where was my food order. She said that I didn’t order anything. I definitely ordered because I pointed to the item on the menu, even though I was speaking Spanish. My brother had already finished so we just left and I went hungry. servicio horrible

You can sit in front of the ocean and see the majestic blue colors. Nice burguers and cocktails. The prices are best in town. Super nice attention. The menu is well detailed and with multiple choices. At night, the atmosphere is special.

Great food, great view!

Their burger was one of the best burgers I've had. Also, don't miss out on their coconut lemonade..delish! Servers were attentive and professional. The view of the beach.... magnificent.

Family of six. Black gunk fell from the air conditioner vents above onto our table. NASTY...looks like mold perhaps. Take a look above you will see the nasty black stuff. We sat to the left of the entrance, at thw wondows close to the other tv. Our waitress was not happy, pleasant or accommodating. The burgers weren't cooked well, the pollo pegchuga was over cooked, the drinks were awful. Let's hope we don't get food poisoning. I was under the impression they are not welcoming of tourists.

It is the main beach for a reason. Beautifully set up, you can enjoy a nice swim or snorkel. Then enjoy the promenade walk, grab an ice cream and enjoy the vibe of San Andres island. This place is special and I highly recommend it.

Great beach right in the center of everything! There is plenty of shade or sun. You can rent a tent or umbrella for a fee, and you’ll get beachside food and drink service. There are occasional vendors walking through trying to sell you things but it is minimal. The water is crystal clear and the beach itself is very clean. Along the beach is a nice promenade with shops and restaurants. This beach is often very lively and busy, and many people bring speakers to listen to music and dance!

Beautiful and amazing beach! I'm totally in love! The color of the sand, the color of the water - absolutely amazing! A bit crowded and so many people asking every 5 second if you want coconut water or the African braids, but that's normal everywhere so let's say it's bearable.

The beech is amazing but San Andres administration lacks good administration like everywhere else in the island. They don't enforce not littering and no dog on the beech ( as they also have a sign posted) The sunrise is great to watch and water is a good water to enjoy and swim in. There are plenty restaurants and some coffee shop in walking distance.

Super clean beach with sun shades and chairs available for rent. The sea is nice and warm with clear water, so great for snorkelling. Beach vendors are friendly, and you can get a nice fried fish delivered directly to your beach spot. Safe area with beach patrols and life guards. Consumption of alcohol on the beach is permitted.

People have trashed this beach. We were distressed on our first morning in San Andres to walk out onto this beach and find it covered in trash. Straws, bottle caps, cans, wrappers, and many other types of trash were all about and mixed in the sand. I walked fearing that I would step on broken glass or cut my foot on a bottle cap. At the end of September there was also tons of Sargasso seaweed covering the beach and floating in the water too.

Beautiful beach with nice soft sand. Very crowded at times but overall great experience!

We stayed at the hotel for one night. Staff was nice, breakfast was okay, really close to the beach. They even have a nice jacuzzi on the roof. The problem was the room, we stayed in 310. There was a bad smell of mould which came from the air conditioner. Even the curtains had mould spots on them. The pricing of this hotel should definitely enable them to service their air conditioning...

This was my second time staying at Hotel Bahía Sardina. I had a wonderful experience the first time, so I returned with my sister hoping to share that same magic—but unfortunately, this visit was a disappointment. Upon arrival, I noticed the lobby and pool area floors were dirty, which was surprising and made me question the upkeep and staffing. One of the most frustrating moments was being charged 75,000 COP for breakfast for myself and my sister, even though breakfast was clearly included in my reservation. This should have been confirmed and clarified at check-in by the receptionist. I only noticed the mistake after reviewing my booking later, and by then it was too late. I felt taken advantage of. I also booked a tour through the hotel with a man named Clark, only to find out later that I could’ve gotten the same tour for a significantly lower price directly at the marina. I paid 75,000 COP, plus I included extra tip money for Clark and another man named Robert from Montetira Cardora, expecting that it would be fairly split between them. I believed I was supporting honest, helpful staff—but I now feel that my kindness was taken for granted. My advice to future travelers: double-check your bookings and don’t be afraid to explore other options for tours. I highly recommend visiting the marina near the Regatta Restaurant—there are many vendors offering tours at better prices, and it’s easy to compare. It’s disappointing to say this, but I don’t see myself returning to this hotel again. Trust and honesty are essential, and this time, they were missing.

Super nice and welcoming. They helped us throughout our stay. The let us use the facilities and showers on our checkout date. Rooms big and clean. The give towels for the beach. Breakfast is in line with the hotel level. Overall very satisfied.

Hot water for shower and from the bathroom sink, quiet place (i stayed in a room in the opposite side of the street, so I could sleep pretty well, and also because the windows are soundproof), very clean and refurbished (great!), they really care about the clients. It is in front of spratt beach (this beach is awesome!). Definitely would come back again! The only 2 problems I found are (1) that the air conditioning clicks continuously and this can be annoying for some persons; (2) and breakfast lacks variety of fruits and other foods.

Clean property located less than 50 feet from the beach. Pool is clean and well kept. Staff is excellent, happy to go the extra mile and always friendly.

First of all I have to say that the food here is outstanding. Every day is something different and it's always delicious. The only downside is that the dining are is really small. If you are here in on a busy week or day. You will have to wait for a table to eat on or seat with a stranger witch I don't know if it's a bad thing or a good thing. Another bad thing is that you can't serve the food by yourself. Someone will serve you the food and it can be a little bit enjoying if you like to eat a lot because you will have to stand up and go get more food every time you are finished. The bedrooms are really big and clean. We where two person and there was two king sise beds in the room. We where staying on the top floor (4th floor) with a viewer over the ocean and the beach. A beautiful thing to wake up on and see the celar blue sea. The only downside there is that the minibar is not free. There is water en soda and some pills for stomach or headaches that are way to over price. There are supermarkets way closer to the hotel that will sell you the same things for half the price. There is a safe locker that is free to use in the room witch is really useful. The pool is rally small, so if you are here on a busy week or day. It will be hard to find somewhere to sit next to the pool. The good thing is that the ocean is five steps away from the hotel. So if the pool is full you will have some options. The bar next to the pool is also very small, but it will get you drunk if that's what you are after or get you the drink you need with out problems. Last but not least the staff is really helpful and kind. They where there for anything we needed or wanted help with. The wifi was really bad we could not use it on the 4th floor, only at the lobby next to the recepción or at the bar next to the pool. I would give this hotel 4 out of 5 stars the five days we where staying here. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Beautiful and cozy hotel on the beach front. Staff is super nice and attentive.

Nice position close to the beach and with nice view to the sea, with also others caterers next door, normal fastfood, food was ok but nothing particular. Credit Cards are accepted with toilet. Covered terrace even in case of bad weather or too much sun. Overall a pleasent stay.

The burgers are ok. Presto is better. If you're looking for basic fast food burgers, just go to presto. Same price, better flavors.

Well... Food was good but nothing more and way too expensive. Even for the fact that this is an island... They had no motivation at the counter and were also not really friendly...

Food was good. don't be in a hurry, service was very slow. Waited 30 minutes just for the milkshake

El Corral has the same taste everywhere in the country. This particular location is close to the beach. The only recommendation is to have a kid's menu.

The food is delicious, and above all, I love the atmosphere next to the beach

Great place for a bite and a drink, the views are incredible

Tale of two visits. First visit the seafood rice was super delicious and the fish with seafood sauce was pretty good. Second visit, the seafood rice was not good at all. It was very bland. The seafood casserole was pretty good. Service was about average compared to other places. Atmosphere is ok if you like outside dining beside the beach and no air conditioned inside option.

Nice Restaurante offers nice and delicious food. We tried the Trilogía and Arroz Chaufa , both were excellent. The customer service was friendly and attentive. Even though the food took more than 30 minutes to arrive, it was definitely worth the wait. The environment is cozy, with a beautiful view that makes the experience even better.

Def the best restaurant in the zone and we are very picky with the food ! We've tried the one next to it Marina it was gross . In this restaurant we were served by Carlos , an amazing and very welcoming guy . The rest is clean , generous portions and we tried various dishes , we were very satisfied specially with the pescado peruano con mariscos ! a must try !! We ate here for 3 days ..

Nice place! Nice view, good food and prices are not that bad. Staff were attentive except for a guy who spent time singing and only gave me the food options. Then I had to stand up and go there to ask staff for a better table, wifi password and for them to take my order. Other staff were very helpful, but this man I am talking about just left me hanging and did not do anything positive for me.

This is honestly one of the worst restaurant experiences I've had in years. The server was a complete knob. No idea what his problem was but he clearly had a chip on his shoulder. The food was mediocre at best. Far from good Peruvian food. But seriously, even if the food was good, I'd still give a 1 star for the attitude of the waiter. And then he had the nerve to ask if we'll include a tip on the check, which I begrudgingly did. This is a tourist trap with a view. Save your money and time and go elsewhere.

Great food and service could be better, the solomito was really good. Small portions but really good.

The food was a little too salty for my taste. The waitress was friendly and knowledgeable but the food took a little too long to come out. The second floor around the bar was too hot. It looks like the kitchen is located on the first floor and the heat hits that area.

Nice place, not the food. Im not a seafood lover but food wasn't tasty as i expected. Service is good.

We loved Miss Celia Restaurant, the staff was super friendly. The food was definitely amazing and tasty. I super recommend this restaurant.

Stewed crab was tasty, but could be everything, since it was chopped. Crab + soup + coke+ beer= 85k COP, mandatory tip included. Just average

Recommended by the locals Amazing food, excellent costumer service Never been to a place where the waiter will suggest that we order just one dish, because it was to much for just one person Best Rondon in the island Little pricy but it was more that enough por my husband and I Totally recommend!!!!

The worst place I've been in San Andrés, they took 60 minutes to bring the food and then it wasn't what we asked for. We ordered three plates and after all this waiting time, they brought two of them and said they didn't have the other, just like that. Es un lugar costoso, con lo cual no habría problema si la comida valiera la pena. Pero sus platos de 76.000 pesos parecen de 15.000. El arroz de camarones ($47.000) trae literalmente cuatro camarones, una estafa.

My wife, her sister, my mother, and myself were recommended Miss Celia by our hotel. We had finally arrived at our last stop in Colombia and were excited about how good the fish might be in a tropical destination. We were seated by our host at 12:45. We ordered shortly after, and thus began a long hour and a half of stomach growling, twiddling fingers, and letdown after letdown as we saw what we thought might be our food being carried to other parties that had arrived AFTER us. By 1:45 we were scratching our heads. Had our order been misplaced? Did our server forget us? Why so long for a dish so simple? At around 2:10, my wife went to tell the owner that if our food wasn’t at the table within five minutes, we would simply take the check for the drinks we had ordered and leave. Surely enough, five minutes later here comes our food out of the kitchen. I was excited. Maybe I’d be enjoying a delicacy! That might be the reason it’d taken so long! Upon first bite, we were all thoroughly disappointed. Three of our fish dishes were lukewarm, bordering on cold (save for my wife’s which was decent). The coco rice was mushy, clearly made by someone who was either lazy that day or doesn’t know how to make rice. We sent our food back and it returned five minutes later with only marginal improvement in the temperature. To make matters worse, the fish simply wasn’t prepared well. I ordered grilled fish, but it had clearly been tossed in copious amounts of flour to prevent it from sticking to the pan making it more akin to fried fish than the grilled fish it was advertised as. We were so hungry by this point (2:20) that we simply hung our heads and scarfed it all down. We immediately went to the front to pay as we didn’t want to spend any more time in a place that provided quite literally service from hell. The owner (presumably Miss Celia) was uncouth, unsympathetic, and apathetic in regards to the extremely poor service we had received. Even our waiter who happened to be at the checkout counter while we were talking with the owner indicated to her that “no service” (tip) was required. At this point the owner showed her true colors, becoming completely disrespectful by remarking, “they’re gringos, and because they’re gringos they should tip.” This behavior is unacceptable for any person, let alone a business owner aiming to provide quality customer service. Tips are EARNED, NOT AUTOMATIC. She behaved like a child in this moment, essentially ensuring in our minds that: 1. we would never come back 2. her “business” was merely a tourist trap, devoid of any originality, quality, and most importantly, respect. Insulting customers is a seriously amateur move, and it was all the more telling that HER OWN STAFF MEMBER took our side. We will never be back to Miss Celia and we highly advise you steer clear. This was easily, by far, the worst dining experience of my life.

We had fantastic service and very good food. The Miss Celia meal is perfect for sharing and that makes the price just right too. Cute decor with lots of fans inside and an option for outdoor seating.

Incredible experience from the starter to the dessert. My wife and I were very impressed and this was one of the best dinners we had on the island and there is a lot of good food here. Thank you Perú Wok!

A poor restaurant, not recommended at all. We arrived there since it had a good review on Google. It turned out to be a total and complete disappointment. We ordered pisco sour, which should be a hit on a Peruvian restaurant, and it was barely drinkable. Drinks arrived after we had our first course. Plates were not well executed, and we received a nearly burned grill dish, which was not good at all. Pretty expensive for what we ate.

Absolutely the best seafood dinner I’ve ever had. The service was great and the atmosphere by the sea was beautiful.

The food came luke warm, even though the place was empty, empty as in it was just me and my partner. The food could have been better if it came hot . The rice was def cooked either the day before as it had that ready to be used for fried rice taste and texture. The wait staff was ok, the limonada natural was lacking. Would not repeat and it was "just a meal" not a place to put on the list of "can't wait to get back there again".

The place is very well located overlooking the ocean and the food is actually good with the exception of the Causa (which was terrible) but the Ceviche, the Pasta and the stir fry were very good and the cinnamon desert was excellent. The big problem we had was service. All the waiter were in a bad mood with an atitude as if we were bothering them for being there and service was super slow. The starters took 45 minutes to come and the main dishes close to one hour and a half. I would not come back

Yesrerday we walked to restaurant around 12.30 pm. Staff told us restaurant opens at 2pm. Today we walked to restaurant again at 6pm...we looked nobody then asked if restaurant still open? Staff said yes with friendly and invited us to terrace then we saw ... there is a couple sitting. If look outside you may think the restaurant close...because people here having late dinner. Food are nice and taste very good. Fresh seafood. Price is reasonable. And nice view. About 7 or 7.30 pm there are more customers at terrace.

We went to Perú Wok for dinner after reading great reviews. Sad to say we had a terrible experience and couldn't wait to leave. When we arrived the door sign said closed but they were open. When we entered, one of the staff sat us and was very grumpy. Our waitress did not smile once and made us feel like we were bothering her just by being there. She and the other waitresses were so unpleasant and had zero interest in helping their customers have a good time. Then there's the food.... WAY overpriced and not great quality. Very disappointing to say the least. I'll add that the ambiance is not great either.. the walls are dirty and there was no toilet paper in the bathroom, there were chairs stacked on top of tables. We were really looking forward to having a good time here. I hope this review encourages the management to make improvements in quality and service.

OMG the best food by far on the whole island ! It is a shame I discovered this place on my last day, I would have gone everyday to try out all their dishes. I had the Estrella de pulpo, it was sooo well cooked and tender, the best I ever had in my whole life ! Also the coconut rice was DELICIOUS. Plus, they have a wine selection...the white wine with this dish was just paradise. Pricing and portions are good compared to other places, fancy or not. Friendly service too. It is well worth the walk from the centro. Not to be missed!!!

I had chicken pasta with cream sauce and my wife had the octopus. My dish was tasty but not enough sauce for my preference. I'm a Gringo though, so I've come to expect that in Colombia 🇨🇴. They just don't typically like their dishes with much sauce. My wife had the octopus 🐙 and it was AMAZING. It was shockingly very tender with good flavor and not chewy at all. The best we've ever had anywhere. Service was quick and friendly. We had planned on going to a different restaurant, but It was a HOT day outside and they have A/C, so we decided at the last moment to eat there. The restaurant is also nicely decorated and clean. Five stars for the atmosphere.

We recently had lunch from Captain Mandy, and it was fantastic! We ordered the salmon with lobster sauce and the shrimp with creamy garlic sauce, and both dishes were packed with incredible flavor. The seafood was fresh, and the sauces elevated each dish perfectly. The portion sizes were generous, leaving us satisfied without being overly full. To top it off, the price for both meals was very affordable, making it an excellent value for such high-quality food. Highly recommend!

We ate here twice and enjoyed our meals immensely. The whole octopus was cooked beautifully. The seafood chowder reminded us of eastern Canadian chowders. Fish was beautiful. And the fried shrimp rice also delish definitely worth a visit

Nice restaurant specialised in seafood - however few vegetarian options available. We had vegetarian rice and pasta with garlic and veggies. I was nicely surprised by the quality of the dishes considering that the restaurant main attractive is seafood. Not many veggie options available in San Andres so I would definitely recommend this place and I would come back. Prices are good considering the quantity and quality.

Best meal we’ve had on the island hands down. We had a 2lbs fried red snapper, 2 coconut rice and plantain plates, one plate of fried shrimps, 2 glasses of wine and 1 coconut lemonade for a total of 70$ CAD. It was not only amazing but very affordable. To top it off, the service was great, Would a 100% recommend.

Food was amazing, service was great too. Fresh fish, amazing ceviche, good octopus and great oriental rice with squid and others. Overall food was a lot better than many other restaurants in the island, and not expensive at all. I highly recommend it. Loved it!

First when we booked the trip, they said we are going to stop at 3 islands and go to 1 resort. In the end was 2 islands and no resorts. When they had to pick us up, they said 5pm but came at 4pm so we missed our boat i asked 3 different people eho were driving the boat if it is 5pm. In the end they just went away at 4pm without us. We had to pay another boat to take us home. Island It is not worth it. No privacy. Everything overcrowded. They put you on a boat and take you directly into a restaurant. They force drinks. Like it is just normal to come and go directly to a table and everything is already set for you to pay. and in the end they want to charge me double price. I took fish and 2 drinks and suddenly there is a coconut and commission and what not and I don't know what and it is 120.000 instead of 60.000. everything smells like a scam. Island is just an island, over commercialised. I've seen much better.

Lovely beach, with a big area to rest on the sand or simply walk and enjoy the green grass with the nature and the iguanas.

We really enjoyed our time on the island! Lots of food/drink options and the staff were very attentive! There was lots of space to lay out or grab an umbrella. It’s a great spot to spend the day drinking and laying on the beach.

Beautiful island with really nice clear water but it’s pretty small and can be walked around in minutes. Not much to do after a short while

Amazing place to go to! Food is good and the views and water incredible.

Beautifull cay. If you come for food, drinks and sunbathing. However if you wanna enjoy pristine nature 4/10, weak and limited snorkeling, over run with drinks and food fixers, and over priced chair rentals. Tourist trap which is still worth visiting!!🏝️🐠🍹🥭🍌🦝🦎

Amazing island, 10/10 the best beach in the area! Would recommend spending all day here instead of continuing onto the aquarium. Food and drinks available with multiple vendors, recommend cash but some take card and charge a small fee accordingly. Gorgeous water, umbrellas and chairs available but show up early!

Too crowded , views ok but not worth it to go a tour , better just go by boat on your own

The water is GORGEOUS!! But the island itself really just didn’t appear to be well-maintained. A few basic hut looking structures but not much else. I was ready to leave the “island” almost as soon as we got there. Don’t have any pictures of the island itself. Sunrise was beautiful!!

It is a wonderful and beautiful place but the locals working there are aggressive and someone opened our locker that we had paid for to secure our bag, I would avoid bringing valuables so you don’t have to use their lockers because they open them without your permission

I’ve been really wanting to visit this place as I love snorkelling. However, after reading the reviews and seeing how crowded it gets, I feel very conflicted. It’s disheartening to see how some guides, who are meant to educate visitors on protecting marine life, allow practices that treat animals as entertainment props. Wildlife should never be handled for photo opportunities. Rays, for example, should be admired respectfully from a distance, not caught and passed around for amusement. It’s truly sad to witness this lack of care. I hope more people choose not to go to support these activities and instead become a voice for sea animals to let them live in peace, observed from afar and treated with the respect.

It is very crowded but it is a nice spot to pass a day. We had some luck and saw a nurse shark which was a nice experience. I would recommend taking the tour directly from the main beach as they were cheaper from what we were offered at our hotel.

Visit through an on street seller/agency (paradise tours rye) These guys where extremely disorganised, even lost a document of ours that we left as a deposit of a cooler. Timing was off, even scared us saying that the guide had left us behind when we were advised to wait in a certain area. Charged us more than was agreed on.

Stunning island so much fun! Clear water, great temperature, someone sold us piña coladas while we were hanging out in the

Our favorite beach in San Andres

Lovely hotel on the beach , calm peaceful great customer relations

Dont go, nothing works it is worn down, and it is relatively expensive. Food is bad. The staff is friendly however.

Beautiful, white sandy beach. Turquoise and clear water. Less people on this beach. Have to take a Motorbike/car/bus here

Great long strech of white sand beach. Loads of shade to chill. Loads of options for food and drinks. Nice views of an inlet island with a ship wreck. Loads of jet skis and boats outside the swimming area. This must be the easiest enter/exit beach in the world. Soft sand, gentle waves, warm sea, no stones, no dirt. Excellent. The plan trees offer good shade and you can also find some mango trees to hide from the bright sun.

Nice beach with lots of palm trees for shade, good swimming areas, and plenty of restaurants.

People over there are just amazing! Everything is great and the view is just awesome... You'll love it...

Very nice place to visit in the middle of San Andres. Kaimans are very nice and interesting to see. Just pay attention to all the guides that want you to pay useless money to them for not showing you anything. You can do everything on your own and you don't need a guide. Amazing also the bar there and just chilling there smoking and drinking some beers. Entrance is about 10k if I remeber well.

This was a cool stop on my trip to San Andres. There was a Cayman who seemed to be very eager to eat some fish that were provided by the staff. Unfortunately, the path around the pond was closed due to rain. The whole area is very cool and has a great vibe. Also our guide spoke perfect English.

It's a chill little place that you can probably make an afternoon of. We hired a local guide and you do have to pay a small entrance fee to get in there is a bar or two here where you can buy drink and food. As far as I know there isn't much do here maybe a trail or two but it's very quiet and a unique place so if you have the time you can stop off for a visit

Very cheap entry, community led guiding, a bar with kitchen. Guides were super friendly.

My friend suggested we check this out since this used to be a fresh water pond that people would use to smuggle animals through. It’s completely safe and the people working there are very kind. They speak English too so it’s convenient for those who struggle with Spanish. Entrance is 5mil ( Apr 2023 ). There’s drinks served there and they get the crocodile to come out. There’s a black line that goes around the pond which I’m assuming is for the crocodiles not to pass.

Wow, what a special place. Just 5000 COP per person entry gets you a tour of the peaceful lake surrounded by caymans, wild horses and native birds. Our guide was wonderful and pointed out the various local plants while his dog followed along. He also picked off mangoes straight off the trees for us to eat, and they were absolutely delicious. Cannot recommend stopping here enough; it was a little slice of calm paradise in busy San Andres.

Well worth a visit when you were Visiting San Andres Island. So cool to see the comments and enjoy the Beautiful late and have a beer at the little local reggae bar.

A cute little spot. Perfect for a relaxed day. Great for kids, calm vibes, and and perfect to enjoy the sun without the crowds.

Visited while exploring the area by scooter — a very beautiful and peaceful beach. The water is crystal clear, but once you go further than waist deep it becomes quite rocky, so beach shoes are a must. The road leading to the beach is very scenic, which makes the ride there just as enjoyable as the stop itself.

Nicest beach for kids on the island. 1-2ft deep water inside the coral area. Kids love it. Lots of little fish and critters swimming around and water is basically crystal clear.

Stopped here on a tour, very beautiful beach. It’s very rocky if you go further than waist deep so wear beach shoes.

Stunning spot and amazing water, great for lounging as there is a natural barrier from the bigger waves. Nice beach bar, coco cocktails slightly pricey but you don’t need to pay for shade if you buy a drink.

Nice beach, not so many tourists, but many waves and windy

Shallow reef close to shore requires water shoes and does not really make for great swimming. Also, little to no shade.

Dont b mistaken by the nice enviroment. The food is bad (comparing with the others surrounding) the cats are annoying and they will insist to receive on cash. Ps: all the beach already accepts card. The fried fish was the worse on the beach.

It’s the definition of “THE BEST PLACE TO BE”. The decor is the most beautiful of all the beach restaurants in the island. The food is amazing and the beach is pristinely kept by Mitzy herself (the owner). The staff is kind and it’s family friendly which is important for me. It’s a MUST when visiting San Andres

I didn’t try out the food . But the spot is amazing, really clean, calm sea , nice beach seats … I really recommended 👌🏻

What an amazing place! I hurt my knee and thus felt like the place to recover and enjoy the beach at the same time! And what was i right! The friendliness made of for the lack of english ( my Spanish was even worse!) and made me feel at home. All the days the staff greeted me with a smile and positive energy! The food allround was good with a couple of amazing dishes. Something with shrimp, coconut en garlic. Tables, beach, toilet and showers where a nice and always clean. If you want to have a nice place to relax, enjoy good food and nice staff. This is the place to be!

Food was good but the people are super unfriendly and unbothered. Horrible service. If you want something you need to run behind them

It's a really relaxing place close to the beach. The service is good and staff attentative. It was a shame our main meals were cold but otherwise a good spot on what is probably one of the best beach areas I've visited so far in SA.

The ambiente of the place is very nice but its a too high price for what you get. They even ask you for volunteer tip although you pay 60.000 cop just to be there. It would be ok if the service is perfect but half of the menu was not available and we were not informed that some ingredients in a dish were not available, so they just prepared it without guacamole. The waiter was not able to explain and compensate for this. I think there are better place on San Andres.

Best lunch in San Andrés Don’t miss the Costilla Guisada and white rice!!

Delicious local cuisine, packed full. Included is soup and juice

Good local restaurant close to el Viajero Hostel with plenty of traditional Colombia food. Really good meatballs and caught of the day fried fish. One of the best value for money in San Andrés

Great bean soup ! Thank you for the authentic experience ! Very quick service and great price for great food.

The place is very cheap. The portions are big. We were visiting this place for 3 days, everything is very delicious!

This is a very cheap restaurant, food is fine, service was minimal as expected. I'm only giving it 3 stars because it's right next to the street and in front of a supermarket (it's called The Parking Lot for a reason) and there's a lot of traffic on the street so you get a lot of scooters racing by while you're eating. A lot of fumes involved, not really pleasant. Other than that I saw a roach crawling by the wall, and the place isn't really fancy at all, but I really don't think it ever intended to be. If you want a cheap meal this is it.

Nice place, you can get lunch for 5 - 7 USD, the food was pretty good (i had meatballs and my companion had fried pork) and it comes with rice and salad, the service was a bit slow, but nothing serious. Would come back

James, our waiter was the best and spoke English. The shrimp and rice plate were excellent, considering they were bagged shrimp. Shrimp is not fished locally any longer. If you don't have cash to tip the waiter, they can't add it to your bill. So, make sure you carry cash. No air-conditioned folks, but it's breezy and has a great ocean front scenary.

I had the shrimp rice. It was okay but a little bland. The service was good. The waitress was helpful, especially with the language, since we don’t speak or read Spanish. The price was a bit higher than what we usually spend, but that was fine. The restaurant is right on the beach and has a beautiful view.

This Restaurant don't even deserve one star. Very bad food, dangerous waitresses. They don't have the food that they show in the menu, I ask for a seafood plate with tostones like the picture of the menu and the waitress brought fruto de pan, something that is not close to tostones and the waitresses olmost hit me because I wanted tostones, he refused to changed. And nobody did anything about it. This people don't know anything about customer service.

If you want to enjoy fresh and delicious fish in a typical place you should visit the fisherman place. You can see the fishermen from this place and you'll feel the island vibes while you enjoy a fantastic view and delicious flavors that will transport you to another place. They have an amazing staff that will make you feel like home. Super recommended 😍

They only had swordfish, it didn't taste fresh, yuck! Very dirty place.

The place is currently open between 12:00 - 15:00, but you'll need to get there early to get a table. Getting there late may also result in fewer menu choices. The fish is fresh and tasty, and the plates are big and full. The prices are moderate for the island.

Great food. I thought it would be a lot cheaper than la regatta but not much difference.

Local food with the best service. They are sweet and as fast as you want.

Amazing food and we had a lovely service. It can be indeed a bit busy, however we found a nice spot quite soon. Also our waiter was so lovely to explain all the traditional food.

Good place to try traditional food. Not a lot of options to be honest, and no vegetarian ones besides the side orders. Staff was a bit irritated.

Don't know if food is any good been here well over an hour. You have to fight for a table as no one assists with seating. You order food at counter. They were out of most everything. Food just being delivered. Didn't have what we ordered so brought something else

We had some ridiculously good crab soup here which it's known for and we were not disappointed. Local spot which fills up quickly and have other delicious foods as well. Lunch time is their busied times.

This place has damn good food, especially for the price. Think they are open Saturday-Monday. Drive past it once and you might see one table sat, drive past 15 minutes later and its full. Whole fried fish was great, coconut rice was best I have had on the island. The slaw is GREAT, comes topped with an orange colored sauce that is amazing. They provide a jar of peppers in vinegar which was a great little addition on the slaw and fish. Fried Breadfruit was also best I have ever had. Almost a soft pretzel taste/aroma to them, very very tasty. Highly recommended.

Great place to try local food. They have big portions and great flavours. Like every local restaurant sometimes it can be that they don't have everything on the menu as is seasonal, but they always have s great offer. Come early on a seasonal visit because at 3 the desserts where already sold out. It will also take some time to get everything, but this is normal.
