Decameron Aquarium

The Resort & Its Setting

Decameron Aquarium sits directly on San Andres Island, part of the Decameron chain that's long been a fixture of all-inclusive travel across Latin America and the Caribbean. Guests describe bright, straightforward rooms, pools on site, and even a nightclub for evening entertainment — a resort built around the idea that you shouldn't have to leave the property to have a good time. With a 4.2-star rating from nearly 8,000 reviews, it has a well-established presence on the island, not a boutique newcomer, and that track record matters to anyone considering a week here as a long-term asset.

San Andres Island: The Area and Things to Do

San Andres is a small, low-lying island far out in the Caribbean, closer to Nicaragua than to the Colombian mainland, with a culture and pace distinct from Cartagena or Colombia's other coastal cities. The appeal is simple: exceptionally clear, multi-toned water, reef and marine life worth snorkelling or diving for, and a compact island you can get to know properly in a few days. It's touristy in parts but never overwhelming — San Andres town has shops and seafront restaurants, while the rest of the island rewards slower exploration by golf cart or bike. December to April is the busiest and driest stretch; outside that window you'll find quieter beaches and lower rates.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Decameron Aquarium and are ready to move on, or simply want to rent it out some years, BidMyTimeshare.com works as a direct owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week, set your own asking price, and buyers or renters contact you straight through the platform. There's a one-time listing fee and no commission on the sale — what you agree with a buyer is what you keep.

Decameron Aquarium is affiliated with both RCI and Interval International, which is a genuine selling point worth mentioning in your listing: a buyer isn't just getting a week on San Andres, they're also getting access to exchange for stays at other affiliated resorts worldwide through those networks. That flexibility is often exactly what resale buyers and renters are looking for, alongside straightforward questions like what week or season is included, whether it's fixed or floating, and what the annual maintenance fee currently runs.

Because resale transfer terms (fees, right of first refusal, how the paperwork moves from your name to the buyer's) vary by brand and change over time, confirm the current transfer fee and process directly with Decameron before agreeing a price with a buyer, and make sure your listing states plainly what the buyer will and won't receive — the week/unit type, exchange affiliation, and current maintenance fee, but nothing you can't verify at the time of sale.

Practical Notes for Owners and Renters

San Andres is reached by air, with connections required from mainland Colombia — there's no direct overland route, so flight timing is worth building into any rental or exchange plans well ahead of arrival. The island's infrastructure is more limited than a mainland resort town, which is part of its charm but also means renters should plan activities and excursions around what's actually available locally rather than assume city-level amenities. Humidity and afternoon rain showers are normal for the region, so it's worth flagging that in any rental listing aimed at first-time Caribbean island visitors.
