Guest Reviews
- Szczepan (10/5): Raj na ziemi :) - Wszystko było świetne! Miejsce to raj, Jimmy to świetna osoba bardzo pomocna i znająca świetnie okolice, bardzo nam pomógł za co serdecznie dziękujemy, polecam również na wycieczkę po wodach Karaibów z Johnatanem, Jimmy ma kontakt, była to nie zapomniana przygoda a miejsce jest wyjątkowe i godne polecenia! Napewno kiedyś wrócę do tego wyjątkowego miejsca, polecam również jedzenie w reastauracji u Limborna, wyjątkowego człowieka :)
- Diana (10/5): Precioso lugar! - Hermoso lugar, se siente mucha tranquilidad, nada de ruido, la playa está a diez pasos, la cabaña es tal como se muestra, todo muy limpio y bien equipada. se puede pasar a la playa de Rocky Cay caminando, Jaime estuvo siempre atento a lo que necesitamos, nos ayudó incluso a trasladar el equipaje y el agua en botellón, hizo un montón!!, siempre muy amable y respetuoso. Se está a 5 minutos de un mercadito que tiene de todo y al lado un muy rico restaurante con precios accesibles. Todos muy amables, nosotras felices!! Cómo sugerencia el agua para beber podría incluirse dentro de la estadía como lo hacen la mayoría de los otros hospedajes
- Adriana (10/5): Esperienza perfetta in un paradiso nascosto - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Abbiamo soggiornato in questo appartamento ed è stata un’esperienza davvero autentica e indimenticabile! Il posto è bellissimo, con una location eccezionale: spiaggia semi privata proprio davanti casa e altre spiagge a soli 10 metri di distanza, tra le più belle dell’isola. L’acqua è limpida, pulitissima… un vero paradiso! 🏖️🌊
L’appartamento era molto pulito, spazioso e dotato di tutto il necessario per un soggiorno comodo e rilassante. La zona è tranquilla e molto sorvegliata, il che ci ha fatto sentire sicuri durante tutto il soggiorno.
Le persone della zona sono estremamente gentili, ma vogliamo fare un ringraziamento speciale a Jaime, incredibile nella sua cortesia e disponibilità! È stato sempre presente per aiutarci con qualsiasi necessità: dal prenotare il taxi all’affittare lo scooter, fino a rispondere a ogni nostra domanda. La sua gentilezza ha reso il nostro soggiorno ancora più speciale.
Torneremo sicuramente! Consigliatissimo a chi cerca autenticità, relax e un’accoglienza calorosa. 🙏✨
- Miranda (10/5): Don Jaime un aplauso por su amabilidad y compromiso con sus huéspedes - La vista de la habitación hacia el mar es preciosa, el lugar es muy cómodo y familiar, la amabilidad de don Jaime quien nos recibió y estuvo pendiente a lo que necesitáramos hizo de nuestra estadía un paraíso, nos fuimos felices de la isla. Nada que decir, todo fue perfecto.
- Aldimerio (10/5): - L’alloggio è dotato dell ‘essenziale , carino e spazioso. Jemie il custode è molto gentile e disponibile Non c’è acqua calda
- Salinas (10/5): Maravillosa experiencia - El alojamiento es maravilloso,el lugar, la gente todo es perfecto. Sin duda este lugar nos hizo amar aún más la isla y Don Jimmy el mejor muy atento,amable y simpático, nos hizo sentir como en casa.
- katia (10/5): - The place is quite and near the beach. Is far away of the center of the city.
- Rodríguez Toscano (10/5): Volvería sin pensarlo dos veces - Las instalaciones son muy bonitas y cómodas. La atención del señor Jaime es excepcional, siempre atento y dispuesto a ayudarnos con cualquier consulta o duda. Nos contactó directamente con las personas de los toures encontrando opciones muy económicas (nos recogieron y dejaron en el mismo alojamiento). También nos dio buenas sugerencias en cuanto a lugares de alimentación. El alojamiento tiene una excelente vista, todas las mañanas veía el amanecer con un cafecito en mano ¡Una maravilla!
La moto disponible en excelente estado y a un excelente precio.
Recomiendo este alojamiento 1000% No tenemos queja alguna
- Guest (10/5): ✨ Un lugar para ser felices: paz, naturaleza y calidez humana ✨ - Desde el primer momento sentimos que habíamos llegado a un lugar especial. El entorno es precioso, lleno de paz y rodeado de naturaleza en cada rincón. Es un espacio bello por donde se lo mire: desde los detalles de la casa hasta la vista del mar que transmite calma y energía a la vez.
La dueña, Marcela, se nota que le pone muchísimo amor y dedicación al lugar. Todo está en perfectas condiciones y pensado para que la estadía sea cómoda y disfrutable. Es ideal tanto para descansar y desconectar del ruido cotidiano como para cocinar tranquilo, relajarse en los espacios comunes y, sobre todo, disfrutar de la cercanía con el mar.
Queremos hacer un párrafo aparte para destacar a Jaime, que fue una parte fundamental de nuestra experiencia. Siempre atento, generoso y dispuesto a ayudar en todo lo que necesitáramos. Su calidez humana y su disposición constante hicieron que nos sintiéramos acompañados y cuidados durante toda la estadía.
Definitivamente este fue un lugar donde fuimos muy, pero muy felices. Lo recomendamos con el corazón, porque más que un alojamiento fue una experiencia de bienestar, naturaleza y conexión humana que vamos a recordar siempre.
- Costantini (10/5): Amazing stay - The place is amazing — exactly as described and just like in the pictures.
You have access to a private area on the beach and a stunning view.
We were warmly welcomed by Jebs, who was also kind and helpful throughout our stay.
- Maria Camila (7/5): Really nice place to relax - The location and the owner is very welcoming and friendly. The property has things to renovate
- Daniel (8/5): -
- Michael (10/5): La semana de vacaciones perfecta! - Jaime es un anfitrión excepcional! Pendiente de todo, proactivo (cambio de toallas, antes de que se nos ocurrió solicitarlo, etc.), siempre con un consejo o una información importante.
La casa es MUY cómoda! A pesar de que cuenta con aire acondicionado, ventilador y demás, nunca lo hemos necesitado. La cocina está perfecta en su tamaño y equipamiento (hasta cuenta con una arrocera eléctrica, licuadora y sándwichera).
L nevera es amplia y simplemente todo en esta casa es funcional, limpio y bien pensado!
Durante toda la noche no hay ruido de tráfico, perros, fiestas, etc.: solo el viento y las olas del mar. Contando con la entrada privada al mar, uno puede desconectarse completamente del estrés de la cotidianidad.
Es un lugar demasiado recomendable! No me podría imaginar qué haya uno mejor en toda la isla. Hasta los vecinos son muy amables! Nada. Todo me pareció fantástico.
- Jonathan (10/5): Exceptional - Jimey was an excellent host. Location was good . Easy public bus trip to the city or taxis drive by frequently flat rate to the city
- Patryk (2/5): Very wired place and not serious owner. - Location is just right on the beach,
Jaime, the old fisherman from San Andres, who takes care of this place is very friendly, also speak good English so you can have nice conversation about history, local life, etc... This is kind of illegal property or there is something wired. Asked for commercial invoice on check in, when leaving and three times via message. Never received it. Now I understand, why they was afraid to call the police, when there was very loud party nearby. Two nights was impossible to sleep but nobody called the police (finally I did it and music was turned off 20 minutes later). They said "police is bad for us". Now I understand it more, when realized that they scam on taxes.
Also when arrived there was no drinking water provided and a lot of crabs outside. Road is not pawed so your luggage stuck in mud, if it's raining. Taxi driver can not find that place... It's very wired and all together makes me feel really afraid.
- Donielle (10/5): Great place - The property is amazingly beautiful! Beach right outside where when tides are good you can walk to the island rocky cay. Jamie was wonderful with helping to organize a tour which was way better than the one we booked. He also helped arrange our taxi to the airport! There was music into the night but we are not light sleepers and wasn’t an issue for us.
- Luca (10/5): Exceptional - The position is possibly one of the best of the Island, you get out from the kitchen and you are on the beach
- Ches (8/5): Very good -
- Sylvain (10/5): Exceptional - You have a private beach! And your own simple house by the sea! Some people pass by during the day but you are on your own there watching the ocean at sunrise sunset and by the moonlight Anytime really. You can bath and swim there and have breakfast or dinner on your own beach . There are shops not far and facilities to prepare food at the house (well equipped)
As it so close to the sea you have permanent breeze that makes it unnecessary to use AC
El Senor Jaime is available if you need any advice or booking a boat tour
Easy to move around by collectivo to the centre or other parts of the islands
We loved our stay
- Susan (10/5): Exceptional - Our family had the pleasure of staying at Bella Marcela on our recent trip to San Andres. Our first few days on San Andres we stayed downtown but we were very happy to retreat to the quiet area of Rocky Cay and to Bella Marcela. We were warmly welcomed by Marcela, Jaime & Emanuel to their impeccable, spacious, & charming accommodation on the beach. With ocean sunrises and sunsets just outside the door, Bella Marcela is a tranquil getaway with easy access to the city centre by bus or taxi and a decent selection of friendly restaurants nearby. From start to finish we loved our stay at Bella Marcela. Thank you Marcela & Jaime – we look forward to returning one day! We miss our mornings and evenings in the hammocks on the beach!
- Peter (10/5): Exceptional - Very nice beach house and Jaime/Jimmy is totally amazing and so generous with whatever you need. Please ask him to introduce you to the nearby restaurant of Collin and his mom - truly great! Not recommended for those who insist on their privacy (but hey, this is San Andres!).
- Alejandra (8/5): Very good - The location is really great! The house is well equiped and the host were very kind and helpful! Some details in quality of some of the facilities like the bathroom sink could be improved, but overall a really nice place
- Andrea (10/5): See you soon! - Apartment in San Luis, with a private beach just few metres in front of the Caribbean Sea. The location is absolutely amazing and unique and only this worths the stay, you can have breakfast on the private little beach or relax on the hammoks, only few step from the sea. San Luis, where you can find restaurants for lunch or little shops, can be easily reached walking. In addition, Jaime, the house keeper, is always available, nice and kind, he can recommend beaches, tours, restaurantes, scooter rental and more, thanks to his native origin and knowledge of the island. We left a piece of heart there and we hope to come back soon! Maybe the transit of the tourists walking by the private beach toward the nearby pubblic beach can annoy sometime.
- Maria (10/5): Don’t look further! This is the place to stay in San Andres! - ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! Great unique location,
Right on the beach. Excellent view.
Very quiet because it is some 40 meters off the main road ( private internal street leading to the little house). Public buses stop right in front, if you come by taxi ask to bring you to Rocky Key (as they don’t know the hostel). Marcela, the host is lovely and very hospitable.
We had good communication with her before arriving- she gave us all details. Responding immediately. Excellent attention of Jimmy (Jaime) who lives next door. He makes you feel at home!
We had many interesting exchanges and discussions with him as he is originally from the island. Has a lot of knowledge about the history and gives insider tips about all kind of topics including possible excursions. One can do an excursion with Jimmies nephew for fishing or just boat tour (good price in comparison to commercial tour operators and excellent service of Louis including eating together the fish we caught) Jimmy offered us snorkelling gear and protection for cellphones. Kayaks can be rented. We could use the hammocks and the beach chairs for free. He is also helping in renting bicycles. Shop with big variety of products very close. The wifi works well. Moscitieras in all doors and windows.
Kitchen well equipped. Good comfortable beds and clean linen. Free toiletries and towels ( including beach towels) provided. Marcela offers cleaning every day but for us it wasn’t necessary.We loved absolutely everything and will be back. 100% recommend! The best place in Colombia we have seen so far. We loved everything.
