Family hotels and homes in Cayo Santander

Hotel 111 was VERY clean and the beds were very comfortable!! We had a balcony which was great and we loved the free water and coffee. The staff was very friendly and welcoming! The location was very central and convenient.

by far the best value for money on the island – clean, nice, and very spacious. Gigliola was very kind and helpful throughout my stay. I originally booked for a shorter visit but ended up extending for two more nights because I liked it so much. The location is also a big plus: it’s on a quiet street, which is not always easy to find in San Andrés. In general compared to many shady places on the island where you have old installations, dirty rooms, no water etc this one is a rare asset. Highly recommend!

Stela is the sweetest host, always ready to help. The house is nice with a very good - and needed - air conditioning. The cleaning is done almost daily and there are several adds-on that you could require during your stay (ex. laundry, motorcycles rental). There is a big and well equipped kitchen for guests’ use

This was by far the best hotel experience I’ve ever had. Even with a last-minute booking, the staff went above and beyond to accommodate my needs- including arranging my airport transfer and making me feel welcomed from the moment I arrived. Nelson, the driver, was incredibly kind and full of helpful island tips. The hospitality throughout my stay was exceptional. I was greeted with a refreshing welcome drink and warm smiles. The staff were always cheerful and genuinely cared about my experience. The chef made every meal fresh to order and constantly checked in to ensure everything was perfect. I loved that all the staff were locals—they gave amazing recommendations and helped arrange tours and a buggy rental. Their pride in their island and in making my stay unforgettable really stood out. The hotel’s peaceful location, away from the busy areas, made for a wonderfully relaxing escape. Georgette, the hotel’s in-house magazine publisher. Her magazine was beautifully curated, offering rich stories about the island’s history and hidden gems. She even took time out of her day to give me a personal tour—an incredibly thoughtful and memorable gesture Tony, the owner, was equally amazing—genuine, helpful, and clearly invested in creating a space where guests feel at home. I was moved by the complimentary room upgrade—it was stunning, with a private pool, a hanging bed on the terrace, and plenty of space to unwind. Every corner of the property was immaculately maintained and well designed . My stay at this hotel was nothing short of extraordinary. It was relaxing, beautiful, and far exceeded my expectations. I left feeling rejuvenated, inspired, and eager to return for a longer stay. I wholeheartedly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a personalized, luxurious, and peaceful island escape.

Staff very very nice Ricky very helpful too

We really enjoyed our stay at Tropical Coral and even extended it. Hotel is small and run by a very friendly family who is very welcoming and provides all the needed information, they can book tours for you at very reasonable price. Meals are not provided but you have a small kitchen and vending machine on site. Our room was large with basic equipment but we had all we needed. The walls are quite thin but this wasn’t a problem as mainly families were staying at the hotel and there was no noise after 10pm. Location of the hotel itself is around 30min walk from main beach and 40min walk from town center. It’s nice because you’re away from town noise in a quiet street, just a few meters away from the sea. To move around the island, you can take a taxi to city for 15.000 or rent a scooter or use a local bus from a stop at the corner of the street as we did.

My family trip to San Andres was amazing. Mrs. Eymy and Mr. Simmonds were very exceptional with us. They had everything ready for us before we arrive at the building. They were waiting for us. The customer service at Santa Catalina exceeded my expectations. It was the same customer services we had at USA or Europe. I recommend this place. I will come back with my family. Amazing!

Location was quiet for those looking for a more relaxed stay on the island. Dona Luz was extremely helpful to us despite our language barrier. Would definitely recommend
