No hot water in the shower, but they have a heated pool. The pool is the only good thing about this hotel. The rooms had flimsy doors that barely locked. They turn off the water every night. No WiFi. TV costs extra. And very far from all the good beaches. Stay away

Services offered in expedia are not delivered in site (no wifi in bedroom nor in most of the hotel). Food was really bad and there is no real place for outside sitting, facilities are old and poorly maintained. Pictures are also from when the hotel was new, now they are struggling after hurrincane, but its really bad.

Most of the hotel rooms in bad condition Food was bad.service in the vip area for the food was cold poor variaty they reapt everyday same food bad service bad attitude they would run out of food in the vip area, the normal buffet area was fuller with big line up but the food was warm. They changed my room and send me to the last building and the last room having to take the stairs 4 floors up didn’t consider correct since I’m pregnant with 31 weeks. My husband tried the licor and it was really bad we think it is fake licor since it’s so common in Colombia for people to sell and make fake licor which is a hazard for human health. The slide was broken jacuzzi too lazy river doesn’t function

The good was delicious, that alone deserves 5 stars. We got to eat in the restaurant on the second floor of the lobby and the staff there was phenomenal. Unfortunately, I can’t say the same for the rest of the staff. This places needs better administration because it has sooo much potential.

Disliked: Cleanliness, room comfort
Hotel with good facilities and bad services.
The location of the room well away, almost in the jungle, to top on the third floor. We stayed two days without towels in the room. There are no phones and you have to go to the counter to be able to complain. We requested change of room and the excuse was that it had to be in the morning and when I go in the morning they tell me that they do not have rooms available because they had two hotels of them closed for remodeling. Then I fell down some stairs at the Hotel On Vacation Tower and I injured my left foot and my right leg and asked for another room change because I could not go up the stairs and they refused. Everyday the food was completely cold.

Dirty Hotel Far From everything
The Staff was not helpful, the room was dirty, our towels never got changed, we received 1 bottle of shampoo after staying there 4 nights, The Food wasnt good at all and we decided to leave the Hotel early because it was just too far from everything and Dirty and our experience there was being very unppleasant . Even though we complained the Hotel didnt do anything to make it up and we lost money because we had alreay payed 9 nights there. I would never go back.

very untidy & messy
Shoking experience & very poorly customer service. Dinner place dirty, food display with minimum rate in health and safety. We never saw the dessert. Coffe not available at all, drinks not available as promised. Small bar with only 1 person attending, long queues. Sink broken in the room, lights not working. The maintenance person promised to come back to fix everything and we are still waiting. Absolutely traumatic holidays

HELL IN PARADISE
what a terrible experience we had. We arrived at 10:30 A.M. to find out that check in was at 3:00 P.M. and not the normal 1:00 P.M..wow...we did not get our room past 6:00 P.M. The same day we try to get them to reset the combination lock box but that didn't happen until the following day in the afternoon . From day one our refrigerator didn't work..and it was not replaced until the third day after i went to the front desk screming in total frustration. The day we arrived we had no towels. and they were hard to get . After three days i asked for some fresh ones (you had to ask....and get upset about it in order to get this basic item). Forget about pool or beach towels,they just do not exist in this "ALL INCLUSIVE RESORT".. Pretty much nothing ever went right at this place and food was nothing to brag about with roaches taking a pick here and there. The way this place is run was shown the day the national team was playing Argentina.. it was an afternoon game and they had it set up at the lobby for the guests to watch it .. Im guessing there were about 75 to 100 people at the lobby drinking and waching the game..No even one person was assigned to this area for housekeeping...?.the place was filty and it still was at around 8:30 A.M. the next day when we came down for breakfast..I have been in San Andres many times and I love this Island and when i first arrived and saw all the new beautiful construction in this hotel i though i had made a great choice.BOY I WAS WRONG!!

Expensive and poor service
Poor service. No hot water in the shower. The sink was broken. Empty minibar. Bad food. San Andres is in general expensive, but the service here were exeptional poor. The staff where not friendly, they charged me twice; the promised me to meet the manager everyday, but all the promises where broken. I ran into the manager by luck. She gave me my mony back. Sill, one should expect more paying this much.
