san andreas Is this the same island I visited? Alot of the island is dump. Really, the beaches were dirty, and swimming pools I saw were the size of a postage stamp. I stayed a San Louis Resort (Decameran) which has some nice rooms, but also had rooms not fit for humans. And the sinks all had warnings about NOT drinking the water. I agree about the diving and ocean, but the rest of the island is not much to look at. In my humble opinion.

San Andreas The Dirty little secret about San Andreas is that it,s a major drug money laundering island. The unemployment is about 80% yet every one rides around on a moto even the Chicas, and all those perfume shops with no one in them. Dont let me put you off from visiting its a great place lots of clean water and cheep food. There are also three Houses there if any one is interested. Baby Moon down town. Sexy Bar expensive, Elaphanty, and Aricife. Check the web for package deals off season.

My Verdict on San Andres Was told before I left Medellin not to go to San Andres as it was Old and Dusty.

I payed about $900 for 8 nights in The Aquarium , BIG MISTAKE as I went to look at all of the other Hotels and the Marazul and Sunrise were the best , with the Sunrise the best by far.

The beach was OK and the downtown very old and dusty , although I was warned , it was probably nice in SA 10-15 years ago , yes its a major drugs port and yes plenty of Money from Drugs on show houses etc.

I will say that if you Scuba dive its good , nice clear ocean and calm , but apart from that SA is nothing to write home about.

If I ever go back there I would sta in the Dolphines Hotel 25 per night including food , nice clean and great pool , close by downtown , and would not dive with the dive school in the Aquarium but with the dive shop located in the Sunrise , they have a good boat and staff.

I have said this before but these are the places to visit in Colombia.

1...Nuqui
2...Isla Palma
3...Provedencia

Gringo D The key to Sucess with Hotels such as Sunrise is to Book a package at a Travel Agent within Colombia.

I would estimate 500 for 5 and 600 for 7 Nights Including Flight and meals.It is a 5 star Hotel comparing with say an Intercontinental.

It has supposedly one of the best Discos in SA called Blue Deep.

Do not go with Decameron , Canadian and European Touristy type Hotels.

Yes Providencia is better , less comercial , unspoiled and better if you like the quieter more secluded location , diving is certainly better in Providencia.

How ever I still say Hit Nuqui(Hotel El Cantil) or Isla Palma(Decameron).

100% Colombian??? What does that mean? Does that mean you were born, raised, socialized, educated all in Colombia? You sound like an American to me with these percentage concepts, really.
