Great breakfast and views, with special mention of over-the-top helpfulness of staff (Owner Loida was a great ambassador for her island, helping makes loads of connections for our stay). Thanks to her!

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.

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.
Boasting a sun deck area with direct ocean access, Cabanas Agua Dulce also offers an outdoor swimming pool. Rooms have private balconies with hammocks. Agua Dulce Beach is 1640 feet away.
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!
Set in Providencia, Posada Sweet Anashly features a garden and terrace. Free private parking is available on site. Sirus Diving Center is next to the property.

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.
The house is a beautiful newly built wooden house at a very beautiful spot of the island. The kitchen is fully functional and there is a filter for drinkable water. The space around the house is big, with a garden and terrace and a balcony.
The lady and her husband who welcomed us were friendly and keen to help. They can also arrange things before your arrival.
One of the most beautiful beaches of the island is just a stroll away.
Next time in Providencia we surely stay in that house again.
We loved our stay at Posado Mango Tree. It’s set in a quiet area just a few minutes walk from the village centre. It was great to have cooking facilities and the supermarket being nearby was handy. The bed was big and comfortable. We did a snorkeling tour with the owner, Sheidner, who was really helpful. Providencia is very expensive for accommodation and this was a good affordable option.
Indra and Patricia very helpful with everything to make me feel at home and find my way on Providencia.Flexible and fun helpfulness.Great beachfront room,reasonable pricing,great value for $,nice breakfast included.Very happy here.
