Decameron Hotels in Providencia
Six hotels in Providencia are affiliated with Decameron Resorts (a chain of resorts in Colombia & elsewhere in Latin America). Hotels currently affiliated with Decameron are:
Posada Del Mar
Miss Elma
Miss Mary
Cabanas Aguadulce
Cabanas Relax
El Recreo
Decameron normally book all inclusive packages including flights, your hotel and all your meals. Sometimes, Decameron will only book a package for you (eg. flights from San Andres to Providencia, plus the hotel stay), at other times it is possible to book room only.
Booking these hotels through Decameron is a relatively simple affair, however it's not very good value. The Decameron affiliated hotels can be booked for much less by approaching the hotel directly (sometimes more than 50% less).
Please take note that when booking via Decameron, all inclusive packages are usually booked. This means that all your meals are included, but you can eat meals in any of the other Decameron affiliated restaurants - however, it does not mean that all your drinks and cigarettes etc. are also included, as is the case in all of the other Decameron resorts in Latin America. Do not complain to the local hotel owners if Decameron have mis-sold you your package and you expected absolutely everything to be included for free. This is a regular cause of complaints for some of the hotel owners (normally complaints by national tourists) - please complain to Decameron, not to the local hotel.
Please take note that Decameron do mis-sell and over hype their affiliated hotels in Providencia. For example, some hotels in Providencia are described on Decameron's website as "boutique hotels". None of the Decameron hotels here can be considered "boutique" by the furthest stretch of the imagination. Please do bear this in mind, and don't come with unexpectedly high hopes just because you have paid a premium to book via Decameron.
