We stayed in Posada J y J Forbes 1, we really liked that it was like a little apartment where we could cook everyday breakfasts, also that it had a common pool, jacuzzi and terrace to relax. It was in front of the supermarket and the room was cleaned up everyday. It was 18 minutes walking from the principal beach, that we thought it was near, but after a long day in the beach and with that hot weather it felt like double distance. So I recommend to find something nearest to the beach.

In front of the Spratt Bright beach, there’s this delicious restaurant that makes part of the Decameron hotel. It was perfect to take lunch before going to the beach and it had a very cool vibe and amazing food.

Spend the afternoon relaxing at the beach. You can rent an umbrella with some chairs. After that you can go to Tonino’s Marina to book some tours for the week, I recommend: - the one that goes to Manglares - Rocky Cay - El acuario - Haynes Cay with the Pontón. - and the one that goes around the island with the Chiva (a traditional Colombian transport) Don’t book tours at the beach, as they could scam you, go directly to the Marina for this.

After that, you continue with the tour in Haynes Cay and Acuario, another little island with a walking path in the middle of the sea and a place where you can do snorkeling to watch the colorful fish. In this part I really recommend you to wear sea shoes, if not your feet can get hurt as it happened to us.

This one is the classic San Andres experience, you can’t miss it, it’s not much but it’s kind of fun. There’s a hole in the ground that blows out water each time the waves comes closer, so naturally people stand on it to get wet. It’s for free but they ask you to buy something to eat.
