Arrived at this hotel without doing any proper research and in hindsight, made a big mistake. Bought a last minute package deal in Colombia, with flights, hotel and meals all included. On arriving at the hotel, found the reception staff to be rude, unwelcoming and quite unhelpful. The room was plain, unattractive and the furnishings old and faded - a miserable depressing room to come back to, although the sea view and views of Johnny Cay island were very beautiful. The mealtime food served at the hotel was shockingly bad - think a couple of levels worse than your worst school dinner experience - tasteless, badly cooked, and vomit inducing slops. The best thing about the hotel was being able to leave it each day to enjoy this incredible island. Whether spending the day on Johnny Cay, or exploring other parts of the island, it really is paradise and beautiful place to be. Many people use this hotel as a budget option and if you want just a place to lay your head and keep your things then it would possibly work for you. But why compromise on being in such an amazing place, when you can just pay a little extra and stay somewhere more befitting. Visting San Andres is a wonderful experience - staying at the Hotel Tiuna is definitely not. I strongly recommend to give this hotel a miss.
