A buddy and I stayed at this hostel for our four-day visit to San Andres Island in April of 2013. It has more of the intimacy of a private home, since it only has three rooms (with varied numbers of beds). It is in a nice, quiet neighborhood close to the ocean and within walking distance to the center of... More

The Blue Almond Hostel has a very homey feel. The kitchen, bathrooms, and bedding are very clean and the hostel has books, movies, bikes, and free wi-fi available for guests. Really it was one of the friendliest hostels I've stayed at. The owners, Juan and Jennifer, are the perfect balance of being helpful and friendly towards guests without being overbearing... More

What a place to spend a week. It's not luxurious, far from it, but that is more than made up for by the amazing hospitality and company that seems to flow in and out of the hostel constantly. Everyone got on well with everyone else in the relaxed atmosphere of the Blue Almond, and the owners Juan and Jennifer are... More

Loved to stay in this Hostel. The house is great and has only three rooms, two bathrooms and a good equipped kitchen. It is close to the centre and you can hire bikes. However, the probably best at this hostel are Juan (the owner) and his lovely girlfriend Jennifer. We had a lot of nice chats and both are really... More

If you are going to San Andres, there is no better place to stay if you are looking for low price and friendly/ helpful staff (owners). Juan and Jennifer are an amazing couple that makes your whole stay feel like home. The location is good and safe with many markets around and 20 minutes walking from the island center. I... More

i stayed at the Blue Almond hostel for nearling 2 months while completing my dive master qualification. I loved it - clean, modern, close to the beach and owned by the wonderful Juan, Jen and shaggy!!! haha! Always up for fun and adventure. The island of San Andres is a must on any south american trip - beautiful

I loved this place. Made a last minute decision to go to SA and turned up late at night. Juan the owner and his girlfriend Jennifer waited up to ensure we were welcomed in. LIKED: family touch. Juan and Jennifer went out of their way to look after us. Examples of this were, inviting me to come diving with him... More

I was very impressed by the homeliness of the hostel. The owners are very helpful and laidback, and the hostel is very clean and well maintained. Grocery stores in easy walking distance, commercial center (and its beaches) 20-30 min. by foot. Rooms are small, but the rest of the hostel is spacious, and in San Andres you don't spend much...

The owner Juan not only speaks perfect English, he also got his masters degree in tourism in Europe, so he certainly knows what he is doing. Nothing can go wrong with him. We booked our Johnny Cay tour and tickets to Providencia with him. Everything was done in minutes and he explained all the details clearly to us. Initially we... More
