Walking arrival
- Head to the Sarie Bay neighborhood (ask which direction that neighborhood is located when leaving the airport).
- Enter the neighborhood by turning at the only traffic light in the Sarie Bay neighborhood, the traffic light is in front of the fishmonger restaurant or the fisherman’s place.
- On the second block turn right.
- Two blocks later, turn left just after passing in front of the Supertodo Express supermarket. The supermarket is only 150m from Simmer Down.
- Simmer Down Guest House is the first building you see just as you turn the corner. The facade of the building has two signs with the name of the place, several aluminum doors with natural color and a purple roller door.
Pro tip: It is more pleasant to arrive by the pedestrian avenue, you can reach it if you head north after leaving the airport until you find the beach. You first pass through the Colombian Air Force (FAC) and then you pass between the El Islander restaurant and the Decameron Isleño hotel.
When you get to the pedestrian street and find the beach, walk to your left, pass the sign that says I LOVE San Andrés and there you can start reading the arrival instructions.
This path is recommended because there is no decent sidewalk to walk if you go along the airport runway. Remember to bring some water and maybe a cap or hat if you plan to do this tour during the hottest hours of the day.
Arrival by taxi
- If you go by taxi, tell the driver literally like this: “Please take me to the Simmer Down inn in Sarie Bay, around the corner from the super everything express supermarket.”
- Simmer Down Guest House is just 150 meters from the super everything express supermarket, so as soon as you pass in front of the supermarket, the taxi driver must turn left and the first building you will see is Simmer Down. The facade of the building has two signs with the name of the place, several aluminum doors with natural color and a purple roller door.
Pro tip: If the taxi driver does not recognize the place, tell him that in the past this building was called the Gallo de Oro building, and that Mrs. María Said also lived there.
Our recommendations 🙂
- To enter San Andrés, everyone over 7 years old must purchase a tourist card from the airport of origin. This has a cost of $137,000 COP and when you are filling out the information in the address field you must put: “Barrio Sarie Bay, Posada Guest House”, in San Andrés addresses with nomenclature are rarely used.
- If you are walking with hand luggage, do not go on the road, go along the pedestrian avenue.
- Garbage must be thrown in the space provided for this purpose outside the building in the booth marked with garbage gates for recyclables, non-reusables and organics.
- Conserve power on your cell phone so you can access this page when you need it.
- Try to return from the beach without sand on your body or in your clothes. Whatever you cannot shake off, please do not take it to the shower at the accommodation. Remove the sand using the foot washing platform that is located in front of the stairs of the building. This platform is used without shoes or flip-flops and you must dry yourself well before leaving that area to avoid getting the stairs wet. Being careful with this point is highly appreciated.
- Air conditioners must always remain off while you are not inside the Simmer Down facilities and please also be careful not to stain your linen.
- If you have any problems during your stay, do not hesitate to contact us via WhatsApp to try to solve your problem or concern as soon as possible.
