Things We DON'T offer.
Hot showers. Everybody knows that Hot water makes you saggy and unattractive, in the Blue Almond We care about your looks, besides there are proven studies that cold showers improve circulation, relieve depression, increases testosterone and fertility therefore manliness overall. On a serious note, implementing a hot water system would be expensive and underused since according to Weatherunderground.com the average temperature is 26 degrees celsius.

Breakfast For what we charge for night and in order to stay profitable, We would have to give you a very sad repetitive breakfast, We are talking industrial juice, fake sausages, soy milk and pigeon's eggs and on top of that we would make you wash your own dishes; so for the time being we have decided to stay away from offering breakfast, instead we offer you a bad-ass kitchen with all breakfast making utensils and a convenience store only 45 seconds away. |

Expectacular Views All Some of our rooms have great big windows overlooking white walls and a patio, don't expect fancy sunset views. |

Special Requests If you want flowers and a bottle of wine on your girlfriend's bunk bed, please keep in mind that we will laugh behind your back and politely tell you that we are not that type of place. We don't do ANY kind of special request that includes radio/tvs in the rooms, flowers and all that non-sense. |

Air Conditioning Did you know that San Andres pays the highest Pesos per Kw in Colombia? That is why the government subsidies 60% of everyone's electricity bill, yes, everyone from hotels to the average Joe. The electricity here is generated by gigantic German Diesel generators, this Diesel comes by boat from mainland Colombia which makes it more expensive and ultimately this reflects on the electricity bill, therefore if we installed AC units We would have to pass the bill onto the rates and stop being the cheapest hostel in San Andres and become just another hotel with suites and room service. |

Good Water Pressure. The way households in San Andres are designed is incompatible to water pressure since we don't get a constant flow of water from the water company. The way it works here is complex, yet simple to understand. Our tanks are only about 3 meters high and have no plans to make them higher. |

2 Free-to-use surfboards. Nothing fancy here. I learn to surf on these ones, so they are pretty beaten up and old, but you will still able to do some awesome surfing on these boards if the waves are on your side. Check our map for surfing spots. |
