Laid Back

Posted Oct 15, 2014 on Hotels

I was in Providencia during the rainy season, which made my room very damp and clammy. The hot water didn´t work. The staff didn´t seem to know what they were doing and were often hard to find. The food was good. For my final night, I switched to a local Posada, which was cheaper and more comfortable, and run by a very helpful, hospitable woman.

Basic hotel in good location

WiFi doesn't work at all so be prepared to disconnect! Rooms are basic but do the job. Food is bland.

Pleasantly surprised but not over whelmed

Pros: clean, nice sized rooms, near a little store, well managed- beautiful sunsets

Cons: A bit of a makeover wouldn't hurt. Adequate space for storing stuff would have been nice.

Providencia is so far off the beaten path that you really can't compare it's hotel offerings with other islands. The people like their little island and I did too even though "charming is not the adjective in play. We scootered around the island and that was fun. There is a restaurant beach - gorgeous and a hotel beach -small but lovely and a wild and windy little beach that was breath-taking. No little town than 5 minutes to hit the ATM. Sol Caribe Hotel was well run, clean and on the edge of the hotel beach. We enjoyed our stay and I would recommend it. Here's the deal, if you don't dive - think about other options. If you do dive it is one of the best anywhere ever!

Avoid this hotel

Posted Nov 13, 2013

Sol caribe is a poor hotel The reception staff were poor and uninterested in dealing with complaints Cable tv was broken throughout my 6 day stay A break in to another groups room was not reported to police Breakfast lunch and dinner was sub standard The hotel is next to a sewage stream which empties into the sea in front of the hotel There are many better hotels on the island - avoid sol caribe

What a beautiful view

Posted Aug 21, 2013

Pros: I knew this hotel 6 years ago

Cons: Opportunities to improve: cleaniness at the private beach, the sink in the bathroom in the rooms

Location: Everything is a little bit far away in San Andres, so it´s a good idea to rent a golf car, what its possible´at the hotel.

This hotel is so nice: the food is excellent and the staff knows what to do. This hotel is a nice opportunity to rest and to recharge fuel to get well.

Great hotel!! Totally recommended!, clean, well keeped rooms...great location in one of the best beaches of the island: "Playa sector el Encanto"...Great assistance for tours, taxis and Island information. Good breakfast including eggs, fruit, ham and cheese, with natural juice and coffee, all in a sea side restaurant area. Rooms with air conditioning, great hot water shower, balcony, minibar & tv. Next to a great restaurant "Miss Elma", minimarket "Morgan", diving lessons "Felipe Diving"...and to the popular restaurants for lunch: Divino Niño and Arturo.
