Posada Nativa Lizard House

This is by far one of the best low priced place that I have ever stayed at and i really like its name! The place is very cozy,,the owner is very friendly and helpful, it is super clean, very safe and within a close walking distance to where you want to go socialize or for the main tourist location set up! My room had a shower, TV, refrigerator, and even a safe to store important items. The lobby area is really cozy and confortable and there are various beverage items you can purchase,as well. Tou also have kitchen access if you want to cook something for yourself! I would definitely recommend this place because it is a real steal for the price!!!

We stayed here in the triple room as a couple and we had a great stay! All accommodation on the island is expensive and this was definitely 1 of the good and cheaper options. The owners are very nice and helpful. The room was clean and cleaned every day. We had a good air-conditioning and WiFi in the room was good. We had a fridge and used the kitchen every day. We never saw anything besides ants (and they are at every restaurant even) |Note, you are staying in someone's house so it's not comparable to a hotel.

We stayed 11 nights at Posada Lizard House and had a great experience. Note that this is a "posada nativa", and it is really different of a hotel staying. At Lizard House you'll be more in contact with the culture of the island and will learn how people in the island live, their routines, food preferences, etc. So, it is probable that you'll find some differences in customs you are used to in your city/country. But if you have an opened mind for that, Lizard House will be great for you.||Room: we stayed at the Yellow Lizard, it is a room with double bed, private bathroom, air conditioner, cable TV and a small refrigerator. There is no wi-fi in the room, just at the common area in front of the kitchen. The room was small but very clean, they have room service every day.||Breakfast: it is not included in the price, but there is an employee that prepares if you ask for it. We prepared our own breakfast in the common kitchen. You can use the common kitchen to prepare your own meals, but it is an open kitchen, and I did not feel comfortable in cooking there because I am not used to quantity of bugs that exists in San Andres. ||Location: it is closed to a supermarket, a bakery, and bus stop to the West View (in front of the Posada). Walk 2 blocks and you'll be able to take a bus to San Luis or Rocky Cay. But it is a little bit far away from downtown, specially during the sunny days we got in San Andres (I think that the heat makes distances appear longer!). In downtown you'll find more options of restaurants, bakeries, places to eat, and stores.||Staff: The "staff" really made the difference during our staying. Marcela and Ernesto, the owners of the place, are so proud of living in San Andres and they make everything to show you the beautiful island they live. They want you to know every little place in the island and to taste all the different typical food they have. Always worried about how our days were going during our staying, if we were enjoying, with hints about places to relax at the beach and restaurants to eat. Ernesto also has contacts with tourist agents, so you can ask him if you want to rent a golf cart, do a scuba diving, etc, he books everything for you with no costs (and his hints and places he indicates are amazing, we never got wrong with them). Between a hint and another, we had great talks about the island, economy, history of Colombia, etc. Marcela is also so sweet, she wanted us to taste the lullo juice and crabs that she prepared one night, I never had a such a affective reception in the places I went until now. Due to them, we could learn a lot about the island, a culture with a lot of different things from ours, they certainly enriched our trip!

Authentic experience in a cool/convenient part of San Andrès. Why pay for a more expensive hotel (as we did our first two nights) when you could stay in the comfortable & fun Lizard House. Ernesto was super nice and helpful, and his place has great vibes. They are quick to offer you any recommendations, even about what to buy when you and your gringo boyfriend get super burnt! Also- you can hang with their very cute cats. 😸😽 The room was big and had its own bathroom. I would definitely recommend it!||Gracias Ernesto para todo, te agradecemos mucho! Hasta nuestra próxima vez en la isla increíble de San Andrés! 💙💚💙

Just came back from a trip to Colombia with my husband. We had a great stay at posada lizard house. The owner, Ernesto, and his wife go out of their way to help you in anyway possible. Everyone was friendly and made our stay very enjoyable. I highly recommend this place for people on a budget. I'd definitely stay there again if I go back to San andres.

The owner is really nice and really helpful but the hotel itself isn't clean or very nice to stay in. It's in the main town which is also an awful place to stay. Doesn't feel very safe. The bars/ houses next to this hotel are very loud which makes it almost impossible to sleep. Wouldn't recommend coming to this Island generally if you're travelling alone.

We stayed for three nights in San Andres and can‘t complain. Ernesto was a very helpful host. Would come here again. Everything was clean and room had ventilator as well as a working ac. Ernesto helped us with finding a taxi and booking a tour.

The best of this place, beside being cheap on a very expensive island, it's the care the owners Ernesto and Marcela (and their son) take of their guests. It's like being at home with your parents. OK, rooms are small and kind of basic, but this is a posada, not a luxury hotel. You get all you need, mainly AC. Ernesto will give you also a bunch of info and tips, and in case of emergency (it was my case) he will be there to help you, no doubt. On a small budget, this is the place!
