Other Hotels, Guesthouses and Accommodation Options

We've mentioned already the pick of the best hotels in Providencia Island, but there are plenty of other options in addition. Here's some tips and advice about other places to stay, plus contact details (add 0057 if calling from abroad). You can find photos and extra information (in Spanish and English) of almost all of these options on the website posadasturisticasdecolombia.com.

Bear in mind that many of these smaller posadas or guesthouses consist of local people simply renting out a few rooms in their house - if you're on a tight budget, you'll find Providencia's cheapest accommodation via such places.
