Any travelagency... You could walk in into any travelagency (in Bogotá) to work out the exact details and get information on what's on sale at the moment. Seen as she has been there twice before you could let her do the work ("fine, book it, I'll pay"). You can get an idea on the price on: http://www.co.despegar.com Paquetes Domesticos San Andres Island, however their offers are for March. Deskubra.net shows a 3-days packagedeal for about 925.000 COP a person in high season so for any longer stay you'll have to count on more (1 USD = 2150 COP).

I was just looking at Medellin to San Andres in August this past week. If you think you want the Decameron your best bets are the Sunrise or the Marisol properties. Third would be the Aquarium. If you want the better properties book as far in advance as possible. The cost including airfare was about 1.200.000 inc airfare. The travel agency I use in Medellin doesn't charge a fee for credit card and I got an interbank exchange rate of 2260/ 1 USD yesterday (3/15). There are many other choices besides the Decameron resorts that you may want to explore, just search the PBH threads and you can find a variety of recent opinions.

san andres I took a side trip to San Andres from Cali last month, staying at the Decameron Aquarium. For 2 people, 5 nights the cost was nder $500 per person.

Decameron has a website at http://www.decameron.com

You may wish to try the Decameron Mar Azul as well as the Aquarium.

San Andreas a Dump I am sorry to report that I did not like the island nor the retsort I was at (Decameron...St. Louis). The swimming pools are the size of a postage stamp and the beaches I saw were littered with crap. The town is poverty ridden. You cannot drink most of the water in your room. On the bright side the Aquarium is a beautifull piece of property. I would suggest you go to a better place and better beach, friendlier people...Santa Marta. Just my opinion.

FORGET SAN ANDREAS THE ABOVE POSTER IS CORRECT , OLD AND DUSTY.

IF YOU 100 PERCENT ARE SET ON GOING THERE THE SUNRISE IS THE BEST HOTEL BY A COUNTRY MILE.

AQUARIUM AND DECAMERON HOTELS ON THE ISLAND ARE OVERATED AND OVERPRICED.

HEAD FOR THE DOLPHINES HOTEL 20-25 PER NIGHT FOOD INCLUDED , CLEAN HOTEL , NICE CLEAN ROOMS AND GOOD POOL , NEXT DOOR TO THE AQUARIUM.

AS FOR THE BEST SEA IN THE WORLD , TOTAL BS , SARDINIA THE ITALIAN ISLAND HOLDS THAT MANTLE.

IF I WERE YOU I WOULD HEAD FOR PROVIDENCIA , NUQUI(EL CANTIL) OR ISLA PALMA(DECAMERON) THE LATER BEING THE BEST BY FAR.
