Very nuce pleace

Hillary went out of her way to help us when we faced a problem on the island.

When you go to a place like San Andres, why not stay in a local place and really understand what the culture is beyond the fluff? The hosts are very friendly, and we liked paying the 8,000 each morning for a breakfast (a bargain in San Andres!) as it was a chance to taste local home-cooked food and watch cartoons with the kids. There are two adorable dogs on this property, and we were introduced to local music. It felt like home. Also, the beautiful grand breadfruit trees towering over the yellow building was quite charming, along with the ocean view from the terrace. Be prepared to take some moto taxis or pay for taxis to pick you up as it is a little out of town, but very worth it. Also we walked to Rocky Cay three times while we were there, and it was a nice walk.

I was given a really warm welcome by the host's sister and shown to my room after a much welcome glass of cold water. There was a fan to cool down at night but windows best left open during the day. Shower was tepid but to be honest in that heat it was fine. There are great views out over the sea and if you like a walk you can walk up to the Baptist Church and beyond. It's a little way out of the centre but again walkable in about 40mins, and I felt safe. It's downhill most of the way in so warrants a taxi back, but take a moto taxi at about cop3000 rather than a car which will set you back cop15000 . . . All adds to the experience. Throughout my stay I was made to feel welcome and it was just like staying in someone's home . . .
