Hotel Blue Cove

Hotel Blue Cove and Its Setting

Hotel Blue Cove is an independently run timeshare resort affiliated with RCI, situated on Isla de San Andrés — the largest island in Colombia's San Andrés, Providencia and Santa Catalina archipelago. The island sits in the western Caribbean and is well known for its ring of coral reef just offshore, giving the water its famous "seven colours of blue." Because the resort is independent rather than part of a chain, it's managed locally, with owners typically organised through an owners' association rather than a branded head office.

The Island and What There Is to Do

Isla de San Andrés is a compact island with a strong Caribbean identity shaped by Colombian, English colonial, and Raizal cultural influences. The reef system fringing the coast is within walking distance of most of the island's accommodation and remains the main draw for snorkelling and diving, with abundant fish life and coral formations easily reached by boat or tour. Johnny Cay, a small protected marine park a short boat ride away, is popular for beach days and watersports, while El Acuario is another well-known shallow-water snorkelling spot favoured for its calm, clear conditions. The island's town centre has shops, restaurants, and an authentic Caribbean-Colombian atmosphere worth exploring beyond the beach.

Selling or Renting a Week at Hotel Blue Cove

Owners who no longer use their week, or who want to recover some of the ongoing costs, can list it for resale or rent directly on BidMyTimeshare.com. The platform works on an owner-to-owner basis: you set your own asking price, write your own listing, and interested buyers or renters contact you through the site. There's no commission taken on the sale — sellers pay only a small one-time listing fee to publish the ad.

Because Hotel Blue Cove is independently managed, resale transfers go through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management rather than a branded corporate transfer department. If you're selling, be ready to tell buyers what the annual maintenance fee currently is and what the transfer process involves, since these details come directly from the resort rather than from RCI. If you're buying a resale week here, ask the seller (or the resort's management) for the current annual fee and any transfer or administration fee before agreeing on a price, and confirm in writing exactly what transfers with the week — for example, whether RCI affiliation carries over automatically or needs to be re-registered in the new owner's name.

Renters typically look for clear week or season dates, confirmation of unit size and sleeping capacity, and an understanding of what's included (such as access to the reef area or proximity to the town centre). Being upfront about these details in your listing helps attract serious enquiries.

Exchanging Through RCI

As an RCI-affiliated resort, a week at Hotel Blue Cove can potentially be deposited into RCI's exchange network, giving owners access to other participating resorts worldwide, subject to RCI's own rules, fees, and availability. Owners interested in exchanging rather than using their week directly on San Andrés should check their RCI membership status and deposit deadlines ahead of their intended travel dates.

Practical Notes for Owners and Travellers

The island is reached via Gustavo Rojas Pinilla International Airport, and as a popular Caribbean destination, flights and accommodation can book up well ahead of peak months. San Andrés keeps Colombia Standard Time, and visitors — including Colombian nationals — need valid identification to enter the island, as it's a designated special economic zone with its own entry checks.
