Decameron Maryland is the quiet, unpretentious option in the Decameron chain's San Andres lineup, a small 65-room all-inclusive on the white-sand beach of the island's hotel zone that runs more like a relaxed Caribbean guesthouse than a full-scale resort complex. The hotel now trades as Decameron Maryland, A Trademark All Inclusive, part of Wyndham's Trademark Collection. San Andres itself is the main attraction: a Colombian Caribbean island ringed by reef, with the famous multicolored 'Sea of 7 Colors' that makes the coastline look almost digitally enhanced. The Maryland puts you right on that water, looking across to Johnny Cay, a few steps from the island's main shopping strip.
The practical setup is simple. There is one buffet restaurant, three bars including the Yeah Man bar right on the sand, one pool shared by adults and children, a small air-conditioned gym and a tour counter. Rooms run from the Standard Queen up to a Superior that sleeps five, all with air conditioning, Wi-Fi, a fridge and a safe, though guests describe them as basic. Days bring aerobics, dance classes and games, and evenings a live music trio rather than a full show. The buffet gets frequent praise from guests for its Colombian dishes and fresh fruit, and the Inter Hotel plan softens the one-restaurant problem: between 11 AM and 5 PM you can use Decameron Los Delfines, Marazul and San Luis, book lunch or dinner there, and reserve a day at the Rocky Cay beach club. Breakfast, transport and Decameron Isleno are not part of the plan. Decameron no longer lists the Aquarium among its hotels, so do not plan around it.
Maryland is the right choice for travelers who put beach, location and a calm atmosphere ahead of resort entertainment. It is especially popular with Colombian and South American visitors who know San Andres well. San Andres generally prices below comparable beach quality in Mexico or Turks and Caicos, though North Americans and Europeans usually connect through Bogota or Medellin to get there. If you want a nightclub, organized shows and a big pool complex, the sister hotels are close by; if you want to wake up on a Caribbean beach, eat simply and spend your days snorkeling and island-hopping, the Maryland delivers.
Pros
- +Sits on the white-sand beach in San Andres's hotel zone with a straight view across to Johnny Cay, and the island's famous multicolored 'Sea of 7 Colors' is right in front of you
- +A few steps from the main commercial strip and the boats to Johnny Cay, one of the most walkable locations of any hotel on the island
- +Small property (65 rooms) means near-personal service, with staff who notice and act on guest needs in a way the bigger Decameron hotels cannot match
- +The Inter Hotel plan lets you use the facilities of Decameron Los Delfines, Marazul and San Luis from 11 AM to 5 PM, including lunch or dinner with a reservation, plus the Rocky Cay beach club by reservation
- +Yeah Man beach bar sits directly on the sand (open 11 AM to 5 PM) and is one of three bars, so you rarely walk far for a cold drink
- +Rooms come with air conditioning, Wi-Fi, TV, a fridge and a safe, and room types run from a Standard Queen for two up to a Superior that sleeps five, which suits families
- +San Andres sits on one of the largest reef systems in the Caribbean, and the hotel's tour counter can book snorkeling, diving and island trips without you leaving the lobby
Cons
- −There is only one restaurant on site, a buffet, so menu repetition becomes noticeable on stays longer than 4-5 nights unless you use the Inter Hotel lunches and dinners
- −Evenings are low-key: entertainment is daytime aerobics, dance classes and games, with a live music trio at night, so guests wanting big shows head to the sister hotels
- −The Inter Hotel plan has real limits: no breakfast, no transport between hotels, no groups, access only 11 AM to 5 PM, and Decameron Isleno's facilities are explicitly excluded
- −Rooms are basic and some guests have complained about cleanliness and upkeep, so this is not the place for polished finishes
- −One pool shared by adults and children, so it can get busy on rough-sea days when everyone retreats from the beach
- −San Andres is primarily a Spanish-language destination; resort staff manage basic English, but off-property navigation is easier for Spanish speakers
- −The beach can get windy and the sea occasionally rough, so not every day delivers the glassy calm surface you see in photos
- −Every visitor over seven must buy San Andres's mandatory tourist card on arrival (about 146,000 Colombian pesos in 2025, per Decameron), an extra cost easy to overlook
