Please self-register within 24 hours prior to arrival.
By national regulation it is necessary to provide certain information on all guests to the Ministry of Tourism.
Thank you so much for taking the time to fill out this information 😉
In compliance with a regulatory mandate of the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Tourism (MCIT), Article 2 of Resolution 409 of 2022 states that it is the duty of all lodging tourism service providers to inform the MCIT of the data required to fill out the Lodging Registration Card (TRA). The collection of such information is in theory for statistical purposes for public policy decision-making. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the purposes of commercial activity, the provider is obliged to request the guest's consent for the processing of personal data.
Arrival on foot
- Go to the Sarie Bay neighborhood (ask in which direction this neighborhood is located when you leave the airport).
- Enter the neighborhood by turning at the only traffic light in the Sarie Bay neighborhood, the light is in front of the fisherman’s place.
- At the second block turn right.
- Two blocks ahead, 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 around 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 roll-up door.
Pro tip: It is more pleasant to arrive by the pedestrian avenue, you get there if you leave the airport and head north until you find the beach. You first pass by the Colombian Air Force (FAC) and then pass between the El Islander restaurant and the Decameron Islander hotel.
When you reach the pedestrian walkway and find the beach, walk to your left, pass the sign that says I LOVE San Andres and there you can start reading the arrival instructions.
This path is recommended because there is no decent sidewalk to walk on if you go along the airport runway. Remember to bring some water and perhaps a cap or hat if you plan to do this tour during the hottest part of the day.
Arrival by cab
- If you go by cab, tell the driver literally like this: “Please take me to the Simmer Down Inn in Sarie Bay, just around the corner from the super all express supermarket”.
- Simmer Down Guest House is only 150 meters from the super all express supermarket, so as soon as you pass in front of the supermarket, the cab driver should 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 roll-up door.
Pro tip: If the cab driver does not recognize the place, tell him that this building used to be called “Edificio Gallo de Oro”, and that Mrs. Maria Said used to live there too.
Recommended activities
We want to recommend you only the best of San Andres, that’s why we are creating this list of places and activities in our Blog for you to experience the best services, products and plans to do on the island of San Andres.
Most of them are well-known or recommended by our local experts and you can be sure that only the best make it to the Simmer Down Guest House list!
Our recommendations 🙂
- For entry to San Andres, anyone over 7 years of age must purchase a tourist card from the airport of origin. This has a cost of $124.000 COP and when you are filling out the information in the address field you must put: “Barrio Sarie Bay, Posada Guest House”, in San Andres we rarely use addresses with nomenclature.
- If you are walking with hand luggage, don’t go on the road, go on the pedestrian avenue.
- Garbage should be disposed of in the space provided for this purpose outside the building in the booth marked with garbage shuts for recyclables, non-reusable and organic waste.
- Keep power on your cell phone so you can access this page when you need it.
- Try to come back from the beach without sand on your body or inside your clothes, what you do not manage to shake off, please do not take it to the shower of your accommodation. Remove sand using the foot-washing platform in front of the building stairs. This platform is used without shoes or flip-flops and you should dry yourself well before leaving this area to avoid getting the stairs wet. Being careful with this point is highly appreciated.
- Air conditioners should always be turned off while you are not inside the Simmer Down facilities and also please take care not to stain the linens.
- If you have any inconvenience during your stay, do not hesitate to contact us via WhatsApp to try to solve your problem or concern as soon as possible.
