Providencia hotels

Pros: nice swimming pool and next to the hotel there is a nice and quiet beach

Cons: * Check in took very long * Wifi didn't work that well

Pros: The staff was friendly and when we had problems, they resolved it inmidiatly. The arepas were delicious, the location and the view of the restaurant were amazing

Cons: They were painting and doing some reparing in all the rooms of the same level we were staying. The smell was too strong and for allergic People this is not confortable at all The rooms Just have the option of AC, this is not environmental friendly. Also you need to arrive in the firsts for the buffet if you Want to have everything. We came twice too late to have dessert!!

Pros: Location

Cons: WiFi didn't work and is not available anywhere but the lobby anyway. Staff were unfriendly. Food was bland so we hardly ate there.

Pros: Location is great and Staff are very nice calm and helpful.

Cons: Big room but no where to sit inside. The building needs renovations. Food wasn’t buffet and not very varied, but big bonus as food is very expensive on the island.

Cons: no hot water, hotel should tell guests before they reserve. also many smokers outside which makes enjoying a meal difficult.

Pros: The sea view room is well worth it. The hotel is located in front of the sea, to go to the beach I just had to leave my room and walk a couple of meters, there is a nice space with comfortable chairs for sunbathing facing the sea. The hotel is located in a sector where there are variety of services such as car and motorcycle rental, diving, restaurants and a well-stocked supermarket with a "corresponsal bancario". People at the reception were very friendly and helpful.

Cons: The point to improve is the restaurant service. The buffet service depends on the number of guests, the variety and offer of menu options is limited to a smaller number of people staying, especially during breakfast. Some days the dinners were full, others there was no dessert, etc. They should work more on the cost / quality ratio because the dishes prices are very high in relation to taste, variety and presentation.

Pros: Food, Location, and Service were excellent. Unfortunately, they haven´t a sandy beach in front of it, but pretty close you will find the perfect place for a sunny day. People at the hotel were really friendly, thanks a lot to them.

Cons: Nothing, everything was perfect.

Pros: Francisca, the owner, was a great resource for booking guides, taxis, golf carts and getting recommendations for restaurants. Everyone in Providencia seems to know and love her.

Pros: Location is fantastic, since no vehicles can enter Catalina Island, the place us really peaceful. Really recommand to go to the small beach at the end of the path of Catalina, never more than 10 people there and fantastic spot for Snorkeling. The rooms are clean and well decorated, and Fransisca is a lovely host. Simply perfect!

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Everything was lovely, a very special place.

Cons: I would be nice if it had breakfast included.

Pros: Francisca welcomed us to the island and sorted out everything we wanted to do. Really recommend the full day snorkel trip with Alejandro. Also, hiring some scooters to find some of the islands smaller beaches (or to get to Roland's Bar in the evenings). We had booked a downstairs room but we're given the upstairs room with a better view as it was free and the checkout policy was "just chill". All great, highly recommend this place.

Pros: Lovely property beautifully located! The room was spacious and had everything we needed. I would definitely stay here again- no traffic and very helpful hosts!

Pros: We had a lovely couple of days in the posada. Our room was very spacious and clean and had a beautiful view over the water. The owner was very friendly and helpful and we felt very welcomed. Overall a great experience!

Pros: Nice place, nice people. The view is wonderful, the room is really clean. Francisca helps a lot when you need something

Pros: Very friendly staff, great location! Nice breakfast! Will be staying again!

Pros: I lOVED the owners, they came to greet me, they are Lovely, caring and make you feel welcome and appreciated as soon as you get there. The brakfast was deliciuous and abundant, and i completley loved the terrace with the hamoc in my room! If you go to Providencia, this is the place to stay, there a beautliful beach with delicious beach restaurants 5 min walk from the Cabañas, and for dinner theres a place called Cafe Studio with YUMMY food also 5 min away by foot! really calm place

Cons: Really dark rooms

Pros: Mario and his wife are really nice and helpful! We felt very welcome to their place and really enjoyed our vacation. The breakfast was delicious and every day with different options! The room was really big with a great balkony and a hammock. It‘s really close to the for us the best and the biggest beach on the island, like 500m.

Pros: I highly recommend this place to stay on Providencia Island. Hotel is located near to the best beach on whole island. There is a shop nearby, moto rental and a short walk from the beach. The hotel itself is also great, facilities are good, rooms are clean, air conditioning, fan, fridge, terrace, basically everything you need. The breakfast are great, various on each day. And last but not least, the owners are the best! Always ready to help you, giving advices and hints about attractions, moto rental, restaurants etc. and they are always right :) We spent a really great time here. I would definitely stay there again! Thanks for being such a great hosts!

Pros: Best place to stay in Providencia, really close to the best beach, Southwest Bay, and the absolutely nicest owners, Mario & Camilla! Thank you for the stories about the island, what to see, what to do, where to eat and the delicious breakfast in the morning!

Pros: Mario and his wife were so very friendly and helpful and made a delicious breakfast each morning, which was different each day. The location was fantastic - just 5 minutes or so walk to South West Bay beach, which has a few lovely restaurants and bars, amazing sunset views and is the best beach on this paradise island. The cabanas are very peaceful and a great place to fully relax. The room was very spacious, kept spotlessly clean each day, bed comfortable and a lovely balcony to relax on with a hammock, table and chairs and views of the gorgeous garden and the sea in the distance. Mario has plenty of contacts and can help with arranging whatever activity you want to do on the island. As a solo female traveller I felt very safe and well looked after.

Pros: Great location, although further to South West Bay beach than described in blurb - 10 -15 minutes walk ! Also a walk to nice restaurant. The owner Mario was very helpful

Cons: Shabby, run down and unkempt - the first room we were allocated, the slats in the bed fell apart and the shower ( with NO hot water) was just a pipe. Room very very basic with noisy fan and ill fitting windows, so that we were covered in mosquito bites.Lighting abysmal in our room, no WiFi except in reception, no beach towels, no service in reception other than a very tacky breakfast with rubbish American TV blasting out. Not a good stay, but loved the island!

Pros: Helpfull owner who has contacts on the Island for tours, transport, recommendations etc.

Cons: .

Pros: The attention is very good as well as the breakfast. Rooms are big and very comfort.

Pros: The location is really nice, you are right on the beach. The breakfast there was quite good, we enjoyed the arepas. The staff was friendly and helpful.

Cons: The bed was very very uncomfortable. There were a lot of mosquitoes inside. The toilet did not have a lid.

Pros: Location is the best on the island. Staff is really friendly. Diving shop near.

Cons: Cold shower

Pros: Just by a lovely stretch of beach and by the dive shop. close to the supermarket and some restaurants.

Cons: One of the staff members - Milton offered to help so we exchanged numbers,, but he used it to message me a bit too often. Nothing inappropriate, but also not necessary messages. I am sure it was for the extra $ to use his services as a driver, but he was very pushy to my liking. Oh, and i didn't like the breakfast...

Pros: It was great been there with the beach right in front of us every morning. Staff is very friendly and prepared to help guests right away.

Pros: Located at the Beach! Nice air conditioning. Well working safety box at the reception.

Cons: Breakfast not very special

Pros: The helpfulness of all staff members. How accommodating and helpful.

Cons: No hot water but we knew that booking there.

Pros: Good location, close to the supermarket, rental services etc. Directly on the ocean Air con

Cons: Wifi didn't work

Pros: This place is amazing, from our room we could look straight to the Caribbean sea, the beach just 20 meters from the room is one of the best beaches in the area, it was lovely to sleep with the sound of the sea and wake up to it.

Pros: Very welcoming and treated you as if you were family. Very clean and he was very helpful to organize any activities you wished to do. Highly recommended! Only downside was wifi, but it’s a tiny remote island, so it was to be expected

Pros: Quiet, beautiful location with great host. Well-located for tranquility. Facilities were spotlessly clean and we were welcomed warmly. Alonso helped us arrange a moto rental (with delivery within minutes to the posada) as well as well-priced snorkeling trips around the island. His daughter prepared delicious breakfasts each morning. The room was cleaned daily and sheets changed every couple of days. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

Cons: Nothing!

Pros: Was made feel so welcome to the island and his home. Highly recommended. Get a scooter and explore from here for your stay!

Pros: Spacious room with everything u might need, AC, Fan, fridge, Soap, WiFi, and much more..., by far the cleanest place I've been to, and the best: Mr. Alonso, the ultimate host, very attentive, helpful in every way, always working on his place to make it even better for his guests, you can feel the love and passion he has for having this beautiful posada and caring for his guests. Awesome breakfast, every day different and always delicious! I loved the posada and Mr. Alonso so much I stayed for 3 more nights! Thank you!

Cons: Location is good, not directly on the beach, but well located between town and beaches, near the Airport, everything is just a quick and cheap Moto Taxi ride away...

Pros: It is a really clean and relaxed place located between the airport and the center of the island. The owner, Mr Alonso does care about his guests and make you feel like at home, he will help you out with whatever you need. Had a great time there!

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Alonso was a great host, very welcoming and attentive, very relaxing stay, only a small island so with a bike nothing is far away

Cons: WiFi wasn’t great, non-existent at times but I think that’s how it is most places

Pros: The room, house and garden are all beautiful but Mr Alonso is what makes this stay. He helped us so much from the minute we arrived and it was fantastic to stay with someone like that. He can sort out any trips you would like to do and takes excellent care of his guests. It was a pleasure to stay with him and I would totally recommend Posada McBean to anyone going to Providencia.

Cons: Nothing, everything was fantastic.

Pros: Alfonso is a great and helpful host. He gave me a lot of advice for things to do in Providencia. I definitely would book at his posada again.

Pros: It was spotless and the room cleaned daily, Mr Taylor was very welcoming helpful and kind, quiet location, daily breakfast was varied

Cons: No WiFi

Pros: I went to Providencia to do some diving and pass my open waters, I was always happy to come home and find a comfortable and very clean room. Alonso is very welcoming and really tries to make your stay in the posada as pleasant as possible. I liked the bathroom and the breakfast too. It's a very good place to relax on Providencia and the island is truly a paradise.

Pros: Nice location, clean rooms and bathroom, wifi working good.

Pros: Location, Price, Friendly Staff.

Pros: I was due to stay in this property for 7 days but due to having to conduct interviews via Skype I chose to leave and find another hotel that provided full wifi.

Cons: The staff were extremely rude after myself and a friend had walked around 5km due to a motorbike breaking down. We arrived at the hotel around midnight. The member of staff was very unprofesional and inconsiderate and refused to allow my friend to rest in my room with myself. Giving no reason or explanation. The day after I was given a story about security and the safety. A professional establishment would have simply requested identification from my friend and/or requested to keep hold of it until the guest left. There was no need to treat two people with such disregard and obvious contempt. I felt insecure around that member of staff afterwards because it was clear his reasons for being angry that I was with a friend were also not profesional.

Pros: Very lovey and great staff

Pros: The view from the second floor is simply amazing! The posada is from walking distance to the beautiful playa Manzanillo. To explore the rest of the island you can rent a scooter directly at the posada for a honest price.

Pros: Nice atmosphere. Clean rooms, decent size bathroom. Family running the hotel were very nice and helpful. In general providencia is a bit expensive, and this place seemed of good value.

Cons: Rooms a bit small.

Pros: Overall I'm glad I stayed here. The staff are really nice and my room was always spotless. Several local dive shops have pick-up here, and it's five minutes by scooter from two of the nicest beaches on the island. Three vegetarian options (and lots of other non-veg options) are available if you want to eat dinner on-site. I rented a golf cart and it was in much better condition than the one I had on San Andres. Also, I've never seen so many iguanas at one hotel before!

Cons: The location is a bit inconvenient for walking, but fine for scooters (and you can call a scooter taxi). Like all hotels on the island, there is no hot water. The included breakfast is cooked to order, but basic.

Pros: Good breakfast included. Nice sunset terrace with bar and restaurant. Probably one of the best places to stay on the island if not the best.

Cons: The island doesn't offer a wide variety of cuisine. If you don't eat fish, don't go to this island. No hot water is available on the island. Must drive scooter or pay for very expensive 4X4 around $70 per day.

Pros: Friendly staff. Nice sunset view.

Cons: Sometimes noisy because close to the road. Didn't like the pool.

Pros: Excellent staff - the ladies are so nice, attentive and friendly. Super clean, comfortable cottage with a huge, super comfy bed, big bathroom with shower. Beautiful grounds with plenty of space for hanging out. Nice breakfast, though a bit on the small side. Though you can always ask for more

Cons: No wifi or hot water- but it’s island life and 28 degrees so who needs it?

Pros: Good location, nice to have air con, the Cabañas are in pretty gardens.

Cons: The ocean deck pictured is no longer there so couldn’t swim from the property as shown on the website, breakfast food was not good at all (very tiny plate of egg & onion every day), we were given a cabaña which adjoins another with a shared terrace so not at all private.

Pros: The area was amazing, cosy, the staff was helpful at all times, the room amazing and the bed very comfortable.

Cons: The water of the pool did not seem super clean

Pros: Price for what you get is very high. The rooms are basic, but OK. A bit dark and more the chalet-kind of interior with cold showers but cleaned every day. There is no wifi and the ‘sunset terrace’ displayed in the pictures is never open. Breakfast is basic as well: eggs, toasts and a small fruitcup. If you don’t eat eggs like me you just get the small fruitcup and toast. Restaurant was always deserted for lunch and evening shift, and so was reception most of the time. If you want to hire a scooter it’s better to go down the road as they give you better prices. Our last night we discovered a mouse in our bed while we were sleeping and the staff barely reacted to this and didn’t offer any explanation or compensation. Customer service is pretty bad here and not in a ‘tranquillo-island-vibe’ kinda way, food and accomodation is mediocre so you can definitely find more worth for your money closeby.
