The hotel is well situated in South West Bay and a short walk from the beach, restaurants and store. The included breakfast was very yummy. The owner was very lovely and helped us arrange a moto rental, tour of the island and our early-morning taxi ride to the airport. The room matched the photos and the hammock on the balcony was a lovely place to relax. I don't think you could find better at this price point on Providencia.

The wifi didn't seem to reach our room, so we would have to go out on our balcony or to the restaurant area to use it.

It is probably a 1or2 star hotel, but I'm giving 4stars for a great visit. There are not a lot of 5star options on Providencia (ha sarcasm- there are None), so be grateful for the limited comforts of SW Bay Cabanas. Our room was large, a suite with air conditioned bedroom, and a wonderful hammock on balcony. Selena, the office manager, is very friendly, helpful and always seems to be available for all your needs. Breakfast is charming on outdoor porch, but portions are meager, more than 1 cup of coffee will cost extra. Temperature is perfect for al fresco in the morning. The hotel grounds are fenced for security (from wandering horses, not really thieves) and have many coconut palms, and tropical bushes. No safe, but the island has very little crime, this is not your top worry. No TV, but you shouldn't be glued to the boob tube in paradise anyway. Wifi only in restaurant, but my room balcony was close enough to pick it up from the hammock outside my room door. Finishes are very basic and rough, but that is part of the adventure- you're in Colombia. No hot water, but the rooftop cistern heats up during the day so that a late afternoon shower is pleasantly tepid. The hotel accepts credit cards, which is a serious plus. Most stores and restaurants are cash only. Bring enough of COP from the San Andres Airport ATM.

The host wrote to us a day before our arrival, which made us confident on having local information about going from the airport to the hotel. We stayed in 4 other places and all them failed to answer to us before arriving, let alone writing us first. During our stay, they were very kind in giving us tips on what activities to do and contacts of people to call to. Rooms were clean and comfortable, breakfast was good and location too. We recommend it.

It would be nice to have hot water in the shower. Nonetheless, the weather isn't cold so after the first few seconds you get used to, but it would be a nice upgrade to make.

The room was very comfortable and the hosts exceedingly accommodating. Breakfast was very tasty and the location, being a stones throw from the island’s best beach, is excellent.

The only drawback is it is located on the island’s main road. It has a sea view still, but there is a bit of noise from the motos that pass by. Not quite the island paradise vibe I had hoped for. Having said that, I don’t think there are many places on the island without this, and Mario let me change room to one further from the road which made a huge difference. Note: I’m very noise sensitive. It’s not a serious problem by any means. Final point, I really hope Mario takes my advice and installs a filtered water dispenser, so that guests don’t need to buy countless plastic water bottles to stay hydrated. Small changes like these make a huge difference to the guest experience and to plastic pollution worldwide.

Quick walk to Southwest Bay, one of best beaches on the Island, if not the best. Manzanillo is close by if southwest is too windy. Scooters are new and great condition. Staff was warm and welcoming. Included breakfast wasn’t the best, but it was calories. Loved reading in my hammock from the patio. Great place and would def stay there again

Breakfast is not that great. A couple scrambled eggs and 3 pieces of toast, and an apple (unsliced) or orange (was sliced) coffee was okay

The property was very responsive in all communications and I felt very prepared for arrival and departure (taxis, payment, arranging a scooter, etc). The rooms were simple but very clean and comfortable. Air conditioning worked great. Beautiful view from the balcony and super comfortable hammock!

There was no room safe and I felt a bit uncomfortable but figured it out.

We loved it here. The staff is very kind, the area is beautiful and the location is amazing. We had an amazing time here! Although the rooms are a little bit older and the bathroom is a bit outdated/old, everything works and is fine. Breakfast was nice! You can take a 5 minute walk to the best beach on the island and the best restaurant (El Divino Niño). There is also a small store very closeby. We would absolutely stay here again and recommend!

The wifi was not so strong in the room, but it was very good on the balcony and in the breakfast area.

What a wonderful place, so near to the best beach on the island with some nice bars and restaurants near by. Mario was so helpful and always seemed to be there when you needed him.The staff are friendly, the room is cleaned every day and the breakfast very nice. I particularly loved the big balcony with the hammock. The rooms are spacious and there is a fridge. Nice view too. We hired a scooter which made the island so accessible.

The staff is excellent. They will help you rent a side-by-side or a scooter. They speak both Spanish and English. Any questions who have they will help you.

The property is located close to the beach. There is a store across the street. The dive shop and there are restaurant/bars on the beach. El divino nino is a super restaurant. I highly recommend it.

Wonderful place to stay in Providencia. The location could not be better as you’re only a few steps far from the best beach in the island. The staff is super helpful and make you feel at home.

Probably a little more options for breakfast would be better. Mosquito net in bed probably would have been better.
