Playa Tranquilo is the perfect place to relax and enjoy San Andres. Our room was very neat, clean and beautifully decorated. The place has a relaxing, home-like vibe. The owner and the staff will do everything they can to make sure you have a wonderful stay. Also they offer you the possibility to rent a buggy or scooter. If you... More

My wife and 2 children and myself just got back from to absolutely wonderful weeks at Playa Tranquilo. The staff did everything that they possibly could to make our stay enjoyable.

It is a little... More

Playa Tranquilo is a insiders tip far away from all the downtown excitement of San Andres. The appartment and the entire property is a nice and cozy place to hang out. The service was excellent. No matter if you want to go diving, rent a golf cart or the housekeeping, there wasn't anything which wasn't taken care of. The staff... More

My wife and 17 month year old stayed for two nights here and it was not enough! I became addicted to diving here as the conditions are great and the hotel is perfectly situated near the best diving sites on the island. Literally you can grab a mask and fins and walk out across the road and you're in the... More

Wonderfully tranquil (what it says on the box) property that sits on the only road circling the island on the western coast. The staff are great - very accommodating and will go out of their way to make your stay easier. Easy access to beaches by bike, scooter, buggy and to the main town by bus or taxi but leaving... More

The ambiance is fantastic with beautiful sunset in front of the complex. Beautiful pool in the middle of luxuriant garden. Staff is really helpful and always available. Really appreciated the breakfast served in the room, the pick-up at the airport and all the attention given. Diving facilities and instructors are top notch with plenty of activities to offer. Great value... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
Playa Tranquilo is a Boutique Hotel that is separated into three luxurious options, on four lush acres of sea front property - The House, the Apartment and the Hotel (currently under renovation). Unlike other hotels, our goal is to custom tailor a uniquely fabulous experience for each and every guest. If you choose the House or the Apartment, you will be the only guests in that residence. As a guest of our Hotel, you will feel equally secluded. Our guests prefer staying with us because they feel like they are staying at an exclusive residence on the island, and not a suffocating resort. Our property is nestled on the less developed side of San Andres, a short 15 minutes from the city center/airport. Playa Tranquilo is an island of tranquility unto itself. Whether you are interested in scuba diving, lounging by the pool, touring the islands, having a chef prepare all of your meals, popping into the sea directly outside our gate or just settling into a hammock to enjoy the sunset with an aperitif - we have it all and would be more than happy to customize your time (see services page) at Playa Tranquilo. You can be as spoiled, or as self-sufficient as you like in this idyllic setting. ... more   less
