Thanks Mixx will be interesting to see what you think of the place.
Ilovelatinas - I agree it's not worth a long visit, if I was to go again I'd aim for a Thursday through Sunday stay, if you're on a backpacker budget you can stay at a pretty nice resort and chill out by the pool for a few days.
I haven't found the small towns to be dangerous so far, the bigger cities such as Cali or Bogota have felt less safe to me, also if you're trying to learn Spanish, which I am, getting off the Gringo trail forces you to improve rather than just hanging out and speaking English with the other tourists.
