The owners, Doris and Cesar, are so very nice, friendly, and helpful. We spent a lot of time chatting with them, swapping stories and photos. They made us feel right at home and were always available to answer our questions. And Yellow Home is close to Manzanillo Bay, the nicest beach on the island.
This property is located just 10 minutes’ walk from South West Bay Beach and features an extensive, beautiful garden.

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.
Posada Old Town Bay is located on the beachfront in Providencia. The inn has a terrace and a 24-hour front desk. Guests at the inn can enjoy a continental breakfast.

Friendly owners, freshly cooked breakfast, strong air conditioning, and an adopted dog, Poco, to keep us company! What more was there to ask for? It's a short, 40,000 peso ride from the airport and walking distance to the town, where you can stock up on food and even play pool. Hosts are very nice and rooms face the sea!

The place was perfect for us being close to everything. They helped us get a scooter, a great boat ride around the island and even booked us a ride back to San Andres on the ferry.

Be prepared that local people are not always friendly to the tourist and many times they see them like source of money. Especially if there are any problems and complains. Fortunately I haven't got any big problems, only issue was the canceled flight from the island back, but the airport company Satena took care about us, offering us extra night accomodation.

We were lucky that the island was so empty, although we recognize how that hurts the reality of the locals. There is very little information online about the current state of the island, as they had to rebuild 98% of infrastructure after hurricane Iota dessimated everything. The good news is that recovery is well underway. There are plenty of restaurants and hotels, along with beautiful beaches. I highly recommend a trip to Providencia and I can hardly wait to get back.
It is important to note that when we went there was only one airline company flying to Providencia (Satena) and they leave a lot to wish for. Our plane had no AC and we arrived sweating buckets and feeling quite unwell, so anyone with health problems should think twice about this visit. Also, they cancelled our flight last minute and we were forced to take and earlier flight so that we could make our connection. So I recommend leaving some room between the flight from Providencia and any subsequent connections.
Other than that, the beaches are beautiful. When we went, we generally had most of them to ourselves. I highly recommend snorkeling, as the experience is life-changing. I've snorkled my whole life, but Providencia was on a whole other level.
We ate at one of their more high-end restaurants (Caribbean Place) where the food was good, but over-priced. On the other hand, the food at El Divino Niño at South West Bay Beach was delicious, fresh, relatively cheap for the size and quality of their portions.

Providence Island is absolutely gorgeous and low key.
Providence Island is absolutely gorgeous and low key. It's perfect for snorkeling, scuba diving, fishing and beaching it for relaxation. The best way to get to know the island is by booking a boat tour that takes you to the surrounding islotes. For transportation throughout the island for 3 or more people is renting the boogies. Between SouthWest beach and Manzanilla Beach, I prefer Manzanilla.

This is a great little island for nature lovers.
This is a great little island for nature lovers. The locals are great - all bilingual. Everyone knows everyone. Ms. Portia is warm, welcoming and accommodating. Eusebio gave a great tour to the peak to watch the sunrise. Elijah gave the best massage in the most scenic location. Nick’s 5:30 boat ride to see the sunrise from Crab Cay, watch man-o-war birds, and swim at Tres Hermanos was awesome. We loved the walk through Santa Catalina with Elijah. Caribbean Place is the best restaurant. It boasts a live band. Reservation required. Everything is super affordable. I LOVE PROVIDENCIA AND THE GREAT LOCALS THERE!!!

I loved the tranquility of the island and the friendliness of the people on the whole. Not a huge number of good beaches but Manzanillo and especially Southwest Bay are highly recommended. There are plenty of good places to eat: Elma’s and Martin’s in Agua Dulce and Divino Niño at Southwest Bay in particular. It’s worth going round the island in a boat but the snorkeling is not very good. Renting a motorbike is a good way of getting round the island.

It’s a paradise just like in the pictures, but it has very little infra structure for tourism and things are VERY overpriced (even considering island conditions).
You pay a super high price for basically everything, from renting a bicycle, taking a taxi, to hiking to the top of the hill (~15 usd) which is a public space.
We enjoyed the view of the nature, it is breathtaking, thereof we felt like in every single situation we were been charged extra for doing something.
It might be good for those who enjoy scuba diving, we didn’t explore this aspect on the island.
This is a small hotel, recently rebuilt. The waterfront view is spectacular!
Ruth, the proprietor, is a very warm and nice person, and provided us with special service to accommodate our food restrictions.
She also made a special effort to provide us with dinners, which they typically do not offer. She even gave us a special dinner on Christmas Eve.
The rest of the staff was also quite helpful, especially after two of my travel companions fell ill with what turned out to be Covid
The room was spacious and the beds very comfortable.
Providencia is paradise on earth and Jaime is going to make sure that you enjoy it. He moved the whole hostel to a new location on the island because it’s more calm there. It’s called Fresh Water Bay and it lays in the middle of nature and yet you are at the beach in 2 minutes. Everything you need is close by. Jaime helped out where he could. Picked me up at the airport, drove me to my diving school and took me to party during night. Overall, this was one of the coolest experiences during my trip.
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.
Jenny and Jairo provided a wonderful guesthouse to stay in. All of the basics are great - the room is clean and comfortable, the breakfast is delicious, the hammock is relaxing. But more importantly, they were so hospitable and helpful with recommendations and arranging reservations. They know the island so well, and their love for Providencia was infectious. We feel like we truly made friends staying with them.
We had a great stay in Providencia and at Saltwata. Raul, the owner and manager of Saltwata, was the best host we could have. He provided us with all the information and tips that we needed on the island, was always available to assist us during our stay, and helped us to organize all the activities we wanted to do on the island (boat tour with snorkeling and scooter rental). Strongly recommend!
great stay on providencia! Lindon is an amazing host. the space is super comfortable with great pool to cool off in! location is prefect between the airport and main town. you can walk to restaurants and scuba diving in 15 mins. it is not on the beach but you can easily drive to beach close by. we rented a scooter! we will definitely come back!! wish we could have stayed longer.
Everything was perfect. The host picked me up at my hotel and he drove me back to the airport. He was so kind, he helped me with some contacts for moto taxi or even with some guide for activities. The apartment is perfect, you will have all you need, a small kitchen a beautiful view on the sea. (Wake up early and you will see the incredible sunrise).
Very kind owners, built the hotel themselves! Wonderful relaxing feeling in the upper level rooms, with the hamacs on the balconies, lots of light and solid AC. Also rented scooters from the owners, which was super helpful! Nice breakfast in the morning as well. Location is great with super short walk to the beach and several food options there.
This is an amazing find! Saul was so helpful and set up a hiking tour and snorkeling tour for us. He also walked us to some nearby restaurants and gave a tour when we first arrived. The rooms were clean, spacious, and great for relaxing after exploring Providencia all day. If you want an authentic, high quality experience, stay here!
Staff are very friendly. Always kind and willing to help. Tony, Elizabeth and Enilda are always supportive on information about the island, tours and everything. We rented a motorbike at the hotel. Breakfast is simple but very good! Rooms are clean, beds are comfortable and bathrooms good! Really recommend!
Since the devastation of the hurricane in 2020 most places has to be rebuilt and Jasmine is one. They did a reasonable job but if you prefer the older character hotels most were destroyed and rebuilding is with new materials like aluminum, plastic and new tiles. all comfortable and clean.
We loved Providencia and were very happy to have rented this top appartement. Stunning views, great place to stay, super clean and all you need is there, for those who like to cook, the kitchen is very well equiped. The host Martha is very nice and helps you out with anything you need!
this place is walking distance from the most beautiful beach of the island.. Raul is an amazing host, he was ready to help with every single needs that we had (moto rent, restaurants, shopping).. Providencia is a magic place and if we come back we surely stay at saltwata
Best stay in Colombia!
Great host, so kind and lovely! Rented a scooter to me.
Best AC on this trip, comfy bed, netflix on tv, good size. Great wifi. If you go to Providencia this is the place to be! Everything was just perfect!
It’s a very nice hotel located close to the main town. The room was very spacious and clean. The breakfast was very nice. And the owner is very polite and is helping for all cases. It is also possible to rent a scooter there
A paceful and beatiful place to chill, 2 blocks away from the main supermarket where you can find almost everything, and 15 - 20 minutes walking to the most gorgeous beach in Providencia, the host was always helpful.
Superb hotel. Mario, the boss, is very helpful. Arranging taxis, tours, everything. The staff are friendly and efficient. The rooms are immaculate. The hotel is close to the beach.
We liked everything, but mostly our hosts. They were wonderful and extremely committed to helping us to have the best experience in Providencia. We are very thankful to them.
The hotel owner was the most lovely helpful and accommodating man! The location was wonderful, the accommodation was perfect and we wished we could have stayed longer!
