San Andrés

Lovely beach ⛱️ (playa) , sand imported from the Sahara not vulcanic

Inexpensive small group of islands belongs to Colombia. Duty free shopping, ok restaurants, average to good hotels. Cheap to get to from Panama. Good for an island break. Few things to do on the main island and taxis are inexpensive to rent for the day to do a tour around the island.

The Colombian island is one of the most beautiful in the world, the sea of the 7 colors is how the people knows this island, the weather and the people is great, also is really cheap travel here, I will recommend 300%

Gorgeous Island with breathtaking views. Lots of Jamaicans who speak perfect English. Super Positive Vibes all around the island. Fantastic food.

Looking for a unique island experience and getaway from the rat race? This could arguably be one of the best experiences you'll have. A boat excursion, pick up volleyball on the beach or an absolutely delicious blend of island, Latin cuisine await you.

Beautiful nature, too many tourists. The underwater world is amazing with beautiful coral. The northern part of the island is way too crowded, too many scooters and messy. The middle and southern part are beautiful again.

Lovely island, incredible sea and awesome energy. I really recommend it if you’re coming to Colombia.

I had high expectations for San Andrés, but my experience was deeply disappointing. The quality of service across the island is shockingly bad. At restaurants, you wait forever because staff are glued to their phones, and when the food finally arrives, it’s mostly low-quality junk or poorly prepared meals. Anything that is marginally better is outrageously overpriced, yet the service remains lackluster. The lack of variety is frustrating—there seem to be only five types of stores, endlessly repeated throughout the island. On top of that, there’s no visible investment in maintaining or renovating infrastructure. Even a light rain causes flooding everywhere, making it unpleasant and inconvenient to get around. I couldn’t even find good coffee here, which is surprising and disappointing for a destination in this region. Tourist spots are overcrowded to the point of being unbearable, with no apparent effort to limit the number of visitors or their time at the attractions. To add insult to injury, you’re hit with ridiculous extra fees. For example, after paying for a boat trip, we were charged an additional fee just to walk on the dock to board the boat. Overall, San Andrés feels like a poorly managed tourist trap. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone seeking a relaxing or enjoyable vacation.
