Bogota is the capital city of Colombia and a is one of the gay-friendliest place in South America along with San Andreas on the seaside. We will find most of the accomodation to be suitable for gay couples in Gay Friendly Hotels San Andreas.
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) rights in Colombia are among the most advanced in Latin America, and have substantially progressed since consensual homosexual activity was decriminalized in 1981. Between February 2007 and April 2008, three rulings of the Constitutional Court granted registered same-sex couples the same pension, social security and property rights as registered heterosexual couples.[1] In 2011, Congress passed a law banning discrimination based on sexual orientation, and on 28 April 2016, the Constitutional Court legalized same-sex marriage, making Colombia the fourth South American country to legalize it.
Compared to some Latin American countries, homosexuality is well tolerated in Colombia (it was declared legal by the government in 1981).
San Andrés is a Colombian island in the Caribbean Sea, off the coast of Nicaragua. It’s known for its coral reefs and reggae music. Lively Spratt Bight Beach features a palm-lined promenade. Offshore is Johnny Cay Park, a small island with coconut groves and white-sand beaches. Old Point Regional Mangrove Park is a wildlife sanctuary, with crabs, iguanas and birds.

2. Decameron Aquarium – All Inclusive 3* – Gay Friendly Hotels San Andreas
This beach resort has circular room building units built directly on the sea. All rooms have private balconies. The swimming pool is 100 m from the beach, and there are 6 on-site restaurants.
At Hotel Decameron Aquarium guests can enjoy a spa treatment, book a scuba diving trip or take a 10-minute walk to San Andres’ commercial area.
Decameron Aquarium has bright, air-conditioned rooms with cable TV. All rooms have private bathrooms with toiletries.
A full breakfast with tropical fruits and Colombian coffee can be enjoyed daily. Guests can enjoy an a la carte dinner and a nice view at La Barracuda or La Bruja restaurant.
In the midst of an Antillean environment, this resort has an exceptional architecture with circular towers overlooking the sea at ‘Punta Hansa’ – at the northern end of the Island of San Andres – which allow for wonderful panoramic views of the Caribbean Sea. These buildings are alongside a long wooden dock that leads to a natural pool in the sea and with an aquatic platform ideal for snorkeling and other water sports.
The Decameron Aquarium is located approximately 10 minutes from the airport and is a well sought out location for tourists since the longest and most beautiful beach of the island is located only a few blocks away, surrounded by a boardwalk, parallel to a commercial area with restaurants, discos and the most exclusive bars. You will enjoy an enchanting paradise that can be explored completely on foot and where a cultural mixture of English, Spanish, Pirates and Corsairs can be explored.
The island was amazing. The views and water were beautiful, The town was fun with good food, clubs and duty-free shopping. This hotel was very close and we walked to town every day. Although the hotel does not have a beach, you can walk to the public beach and it was very enjoyable. The island is surrounded by a reef and many of the resorts (like this one) were built on the reef, thus no beach. The hotel does have a good pool with a swim-up pool bar.
When not on the beach, we spent our time on the docks built around a roped off lagoon-like area of the ocean. It too had a nearby bar. The food was very good in the two buffet styles restaurants. The table service restaurants required early reservations that were a hassle for us and we honestly liked the food at the buffet restaurants better. El Mirador was our favorite and it was in our building.
Our room was good. Being so close to the water and strong breeze, I would imagine that the maintenance schedule is pretty robust for this resort. Our beds were comfortable, the AC worked, and the TV was good. The hot water was a bit inconsistent at the beginning of the trip, but was repaired. There were some odd processes, such as renting a lock to use the safe, prepaying for specific hours of internet, and a check-in process that brought everyone to a large room at 3pm to receive 1 room key and the TV remote when your name was called,
They also read from a hotel information brochure that was given to us at initial checkin. It was in Spanish, so I did not understand any of it. I asked for a copy in English, but they indicated they had run out of the English version a few months ago.
Upon reflection, this was a very nice trip and hotel. Although it was not at the level of some of the all inclusive resorts where I have stayed, most of the staff made up for it. They worked very hard and seemed proud of what they had to offer and meeting guest nee The views from our room and other areas of the resort were amazing.
The 2 guys who led the entertainment every day and night were two of the hardest working, talented individuals I have encountered at a resort like this. They literally gave out towels in the morning and were dancing and performing until late into the evening. Our favorite location was probably the outdoor lounge area on the dock. Every night they had what appeared to be local musicians playing reggae type music with incredible views all around you.
The strong points in my opinion are:
-Food: excellent choice at the buffet. The salad bar is very well garnished. In addition to the reservation already done at the a la carte restaurants, it is easy to get additional reservations. My favorite was the Asian.
-The staff. The following is delicate, but I believe that should be said. The male staff is great, they love to talk and laugh with the clients.
-The possibility of visiting other Decameron hotels. This is great when staying 2 weeks, since it is very quiet on the resort.
-Cleanliness. They do a great job keeping everything clean.
Aquarium is a natural location, coral reef, where you can see a large amount of fish in its natural habitat. This would be possible if you manage to avoid the other hundred people trying to do the same.
From there, yo go to Jhonny Kay, if winds allow that.
