Hotel Las Delphines. . .

This was the place we were encamped for our three-night stay in San Andres, Colombia. It's the smallest of the Decameron Hotels (there are six or seven, I believe) and it's close to the center of town. There was a bar, small pool and restaurant at Delphines. We lucked out and got the only room on the ground floor that looked right out onto the water. We could hear the ocean lapping at the bottom of the lanai.



The pool was nice, the bar was just like you see at Sears and you set up in your basement, but the bartenders were friendly, and the restaurant was right on the water, which was very nice. The food in the restaurant was good, though nothing special. We had to make reservations every morning for where we wanted to eat lunch and dinner for that day.

When we checked in, they gave us each a bracelet that we just had to flash at any or the restaurants/bars/discos (we didn't hit the disco) to get in and since it was all-inclusive, there was no extra money necessary.

The other hotels had the discos and the nightly shows. Las Delphines, being the smallest, didn't have either, which we didn't mind.

One hitch: the elbow joint under the bathroom sink was missing, so every time turned on the sink, our feet got wet. . . Compared to the story of the folks we met who stayed in another hotel, we were in a pretty sweet room.
