It's no surprise that it receives a glowing five-star rating, as it surpasses expectations and leaves a lasting impression on all who visit.

Sunset Hotel is located in the southwest of the island, there are few places nearby so it will certainly guarantee you a really relaxing and peaceful location to base yourself while in San Andres. Our room was basic but super clean and had nearly everything we needed (only a bedside lamp was missed) unfortunately our room smelt considerable musty on arrival which initially made me feel we'd made a mistake in booking, but after leaving the door/window open for a few hours, it cleared for the remainder of our stay so just a consideration for the owners to air the rooms prior to guest arrival to avoid this. The bathroom felt like it was ready for a proper refit, the shower screen was sticky and looks a bit dated. Hot water is available if you are lucky and want to shower mid-afternoon before the divers return. Breakfast was by far the best we had in the whole of Colombia with a choice of four really good options, just a shame we missed our last morning breakfast as we had to leave at 8am for the airport which is the time they start serving. There are no beaches on the west side of the island, which makes this great for snorkelling, however getting into the sea is near on impossible on this side as there are sharp coral rocks but Sunset Hotel has a huge ladder which they drop down over the rocks into the water so perfect if you want to experience the crystal clear bright blue waters and beautiful fish. We hired a moped via the hotel which was well organised and reasonably priced, we feel this or other transport (buggy) would be essential if you want to go out late in the evening otherwise taxi's home could be expensive, that said, the bus will stop outside the hotel but return buses do not run much after 7.30/8pm The hotel does serve food all day and offers a good choice of meals, the prices for food, beer and wine are really competitive so we did not feel as though we were being treated as a captive audience or being ripped off, something someone else had commented on in a review. The swimming pool is a welcome relief from the heat of the sun, it is immaculate and constantly being checked and cleaned if any leaves drop in. The sunbeds are a nice touch but disappointed there were no hammocks, as seen in the photos.
