Worst travel experience ever! Not only the Islanders are rude, and provide the worst customer service ever, this property has some of the worst cleaning issues in any property I’ve stayed at. They completely ignored any claims but also denied them openly when reported to Orbitz. It was “normal” to them. Stay away from this island, and specially this property.
The owner is amazing in this property. My son left my iphone X in the back of a cab and they tried to help me get it back. I was extremely lucky because we had agreed that the cab would pick us up for the airport so my phone was in the cab when we met up again. It is a good example of the honesty and hospitality of the people in the island. While the property is far from town it feels like an oasis. My only complaint is the shower doesn't have warm water but everything else was great.

Everything was great however I rented two rooms and I notice the windows wouldn’t lock and there signs that says they aren’t responsible if anything is missing
Great customer service, dinner is always a delight. The daily shuttle service to the north side of thw island is a huge plus. The hotel is located in a very quiet area and far from the city. Cesar is always helpful as well as all the staff.
If your desire is to visit San Andres Island and be far away from everything remotely interesting the island has to offer, this is the perfect place to stay. But then the WiFi, which might have relieved the tedium a little, did not work. The taps and showers spout non-potable salt water. You can of course purchase grotesquely over-priced bottled water from the mini bar in your room.
I hated this place and could not escape from it fast enough. The owner did seem like a nice enough guy.
This is the place you go if you want to get to San Andres but stay out of the crowds. The site is tucked in the woods away from the hubbub and is very pleasant. The pool is nice, people good, and the rooms clean and comfortable. The is no good beach nearby (really not much nearby at all), but that's part of the charm.
Very isolated place. Taxi is the only means to get there - 40000 COP.
The first day I arrived there at 7 pm, straight from the airport, and there was nothing to eat until next morning! Breakfast is rather poor and the both days I spent in the property they do not even have black coffee for breakfast, only with milk...
Wi-if is very bad, despite the 2 or 3 lines they announced.
Everybody there is very very amateur.
Be aware of the mosquitoes. Carry plenty of the best repellent.

Bad service
Very friendly people working there, but no WiFi in room as promised, and I asked for taxi to my next hotel, they decided to charge me the same amount as taxi and drive me there, in the middle of the road he ra out of gas, so I was in the car in the heat for 45 min waiting for the driver to go buy gas and bring back, and then he was lost and looking for the new hotel for another 30 min, a trip hat was suppose to be 20 min took 1.5 hour. Not good
The staff and location couldn't be better. The food is AMAZING The owner speaks great English and happy to help with trips etc
Tips: taxis will say they don't have change even when fair is agreed. Check trips have English speaking guides
My husband and I were looking for some peace and quiet. We got that and a lot more. This hotel is on the other side of all the island buzz, so make sure that is what you want. It is like staying with relatives and old time friends in a comfy house. Not luxurious at all, but clean and relaxing.
The pros: you will feel like you're the only one in the hotel as you won't hear a thing in the simple yet spacious rooms.
Food is homemade and simply fantastic.
People will be helpful and super friendly. Cesar, will always give you honest advice and never try to sell you tourist packages just because. He will also get out of his way to make sure you feel spoiled and taken care of. Even their dogs will make you feel at home: Refeita a stray dog they rescued will steal your heart (and some food ;))
To improve: The breakfast selection. Fruit, juice, eggs and bread are a daily staple. A cereal bar and some cold beverages could help those with special diets.
The pillows could use a renewal.
To keep in mind: The place is far away from everything, that's the idea! So be prepared with things you might need through the day as the shuttle leaves at 9 am and returns at 7 pm. You can always take the local bus which is cheap, safe and the routes are easy to understand.
If you need to disconnect and are not fussy about having to have luxury go for this!
Nice escape from crziness of S. Andres megaresorts
Good value for S. Andres, but would be about a $65/night hotel anywhere that had some real competition. If you want an alternative to the big resorts, this is a good option to get away from them. Quiet with very good service, friendly helpful staff, and nice b-fasts to get you started. Easy enough to get around on the island from their location but land-locked, so you won't have immediate beach access. We used it as a stayover while waiting for our flight to Providencia, which is a much better location for a long stay as it's not over-crowded and trashed out like S. Andres.
Had a great stay. Delicious meals and friendly and helpful staff. They helped us plan activities and we rented their car and bikes. A litle inconvenient to get around since the shuttle only ran once a day. Overall it was great.
We stayed at Mar y Sol for three nights. For us it was a great location, away from all resort hotels to the north of the Island. The rooms were comfortable and and the dinner every night was delicious. They can help you organise anything you would like to do around the island. I would recommend staying here

Nice, comfortable, great food and convenient shutt
If you're looking to stay in a luxury place, then don't stay here. You'll be at the southern end of the island, which is the opposite direction of "El Centro" or Downtown. However, that shouldn't matter very much. There is a shuttle every morning that leaves at 9am and takes you wherever you need to go for the day. I recommend Rocky Cay (breathtaking, beautiful beach) and also doing a tour to Johnny Cay and El Acuario where you can go snorkeling. However, during the day, you're on your own as far as transportation goes. If you're someone that just wants to go somewhere at 9:30 and stay until 7, then you can take a taxi back. Otherwise, you'll need to go downtown at 7pm or find a taxi (not that expensive) or the local island bus. The food at the Hosteria is EXCELLENT! The rooms are nothing special but perfectly adequate. It's a nice place and I do recommend, just know that you're not going to be anywhere near nightlife or restaurants.
Perfect for people who wants to stay away from noise , stress and change the life style of a current city

Lugar agradável e cercado de Natureza.
nossa estadia foi bastante agradável, no geral. Apenas achamos o estabelecimento, bastante afastado das principais atrações de San Andrés. Isso nos causou, alguns incomodos. Deixamos de aproveitar, a vida noturna devido ao isolamento do local. Mas, para quem estiver, ao procura de afastamento e tranquilidade, lá será perfeito.
Experiencia maravillosa!
Ambiente familiar y tranquilo. Múltiples servicios como piscina, alquiler de motos y carros, wifi en áreas comunes y opción de desayunos - almuerzo - cena.
Durante nuestra estancia tuvimos diversos problemas externos que de forma desinteresada César y su familia nos ayudaron a resolver.
Muchas gracias! Estaremos por siempre agradecidas!
