It was my first time in San Andres and the hotel was great quiet and relax . Also staff member from door like Mike and Diane in front desk were so kind and helpful at all times making my trip easy and make me extend few days more at San Andres and the property . I definitely come back son to San Andres and to Arena Blanca soon.
The hotel was warm and welcoming. Room was phenomenal with a balcony. Close to activities, the beach and food establishments. Whatever you need? The hotel offers it.
The pool was great, sand on the bottom is very unique. the temperature was nice, there is a fun water slide, and 3 different waterfalls.
Food was nice, always a choice of different meats, rice and vegetables. fresh fruit, desert and juices.
Two pools. The main pool was like a beach, with sand both in and out of the water.

I am extremely disappointed with my recent stay. I had stayed at this location before and enjoyed it, but this experience was completely unacceptable from start to finish.
The first issue happened at check-in when staff gave my fiancé a difficult time checking in. Things only got worse from there.
On Friday night, there was no hot water. I attempted to address the issue with staff, but no one seemed to care or provide any meaningful assistance. Unfortunately, the hot water issue continued throughout the stay.
The most serious incident happened at the pool. The pool already had a sandy bottom, and while exiting the pool I stepped on a rusty tack. I immediately went to the front desk for help and asked if the employee spoke English. She said no, so I requested a manager who spoke English. Instead of providing a manager, they brought someone over to translate. I specifically requested management because this was a serious safety issue.
Staff then told me I needed a tetanus shot because of the rusty tack. I agreed, but they later changed their mind and said they would not assist because I booked through Expedia. Whether I booked through Expedia or directly with the hotel should not matter — the injury happened in the hotel’s pool, and the hotel is responsible for maintaining a safe environment. Instead of properly handling the situation, they called my fiancé and told him to come get me from the desk because I was “causing a scene.” Do not expect good service if booking using a t
This pool in the picture does not belong to that hotel. It goes to some other property. They do not offer free shuttle rides like advertised. We has very vague communication since they don't like to answer the phone and they told use to take a taxi. The room in the picture was actually a room that seemed very dated. They were no where near a beach you had to walk a few blocks and there was construction around the property. The bathroom was small and it looked old and danty. The pool was small and looked very mediocre. I was not happy and went to another hotel. The manager at the hotel tried to offer me another room but she wasn't understanding the services weren't met and that nothing from the advertisement is what it seems. They didn't have air conditioning as well. I was not impressed.
A estrutura do hotel é boa, mas, quando chegamos, não tinha água quente e, quando saímos, estavam com falta d'água (o que pode ser um problema de infraestrutura da ilha, não sei).
Algumas das pessoas da equipe eram muito solícitas (um salve para a Camila!) e nos ajudaram; já outras agiram de má vontade.
O sinal de Wi-Fi era bem ruim e não funcionava bem no celular da minha irmã - simplesmente, não conectava.
Os drinks eram impossíveis de tomar, sendo muito fortes, e a cerveja estava sempre quente.
Não tínhamos a opção de pedir para não limparem o quarto (só falando com as moças da limpeza, que nem sempre encontrávamos) e achei um desperdício de recursos trocarem as toalhas todos os dias - por mim, não havia necessidade.
A localização do hotel, porém, é excelente. E a comida é ok.

Atendimento ótimo e bom custo benefício. Quarto super confortável e com água quente. A variedade de alimentação cumpre com o oferecido, mas poderia ser melhor para um all inclusive! Porém no geral, foi ótima a estadia!
Muito bem localizado, proximo a uma praia muito bonita. a estrutura de resort é muito legal, piscinas sensacionais. Alimentação boa e bebidas otimas. Quarto gigante (casal com hidro). Tudo foi muito bom, recomendo muito.

Not worth $250 go elsewhere
Anoche, después de cenar y de vomitar, llamé a Hotels.com para quejarme. número de referencia de hotels.com 9161982171313. Envié muchos mensajes incluso antes de llegar a este hotel e isla. no hay comunicación desde este hotel. Me iba a comprometer con mi novia y elegí este hotel para pasar mi tiempo especial con ella. Solicité la mejor vista posible y las suites por las que pagué. esta reserva también incluía un masaje gratis. al registrarse, este hotel ya no ofrece un masaje gratuito y no dio ninguna alternativa para compensar esto. Estoy atascado con una vista parcial del océano, pero lo que es más importante, la vista de mi balcón es de dos edificios recién construidos. mi balcón tiene cero privacidad debido a que los trabajadores de la construcción nos observan. Escuché a los trabajadores silbarle a mi novia cuando estaba parada en el balcón de tres hombres. Esta experiencia no ha sido nada extravagante ni agradable. por $1.000.000 COP podríamos haber comprado nuestra propia botella de alcohol por 75.000 COP. No comimos en un restaurante donde gastamos más de $100.000 COP. y en 6 días aquí en la isla ninguno de los dos vomitó hasta ahora. Debido a la mala calidad de las comidas aquí, hubiera preferido comer en otros restaurantes que aquí. He reservado más de 160 noches con hotels.com y por el precio de este hotel no recomendaría absolutamente a nadie que se quede aquí. No tienes ofertas en coches de alquiler. No tienes ninguna ventaja para ofrecer a los invitados upur.
Me gusto el hotel y el personal que trabaja allí es excelente, Roger en la recepción fue muy amable y me ayudó mucho con mis necesidades para que mi estadía fuera agradable. También David fue increíble desde el momento que nos dio la bienvenida, hasta el momento de tener que regresarme a casa. Lo único que no me gusto fueron los alrededores del hotel, esos edificios en construcción le dan un mal aspecto a la propiedad y se ve muy desagradable. La comida estuvo bien pero falto un poco más de variedad y un poco más de sabor.
