Walking distance to everything in the town. We liked the hammocks to relax in. Good mosquito net.

great place to meet people (they have lot of activities) and have fun with sports or just relax. Very good breakfast or any meal at the restaurant as well as great cocktails on the bar (dont miss the happy hour!) Great location in the middle so you will not walk too much for the beach or bus either. And the best part is the vibe from the girls at the reception and all the staff, they were amazing! <3

Best hostel in Palomino

Amazing stay! The Zoo Hostel has the perfect vibe, great pool, lively bar and restaurant, daily activities, and just steps from the beach. The volleyball court and social atmosphere make it easy to meet people. Special thanks to Diego, the manager, who is super friendly and makes everyone feel at home. I’d come back anytime!

Good place to stay with pool and still be able to explore other pools & hotels

Breakfast was good size, different each day and served quickly. Eggs, arepa, fruit variation. Room - great size, comfy bed, terrace with hammock. Shower was powerful.

- Really great location right in the middle of town right off the main street where most restaurants and bars are but still a close walk to the beach. - Staff were really nice, spoke good English (which helped as our Spanish was poor) and were helpful when we had any questions. - The breakfast included is traditional and very nice (eggs, arepas and fresh fruit)!

Good vibe hostel

Good vibes hostel. Although they organize events every night, by 11pm everything finished and the party moves elsewhere. The room was cleaned and comfortable. They have free water. 2 min walk to the main road and 10 min to the beach.

Amazing, fun, good people!

Amazing place. Beautiful facilities, pool, volleyball court with people playing everyday. The filtered water is free. And free mosquito repellent!!! The staff is always very helpful and fun! There is a restaurant with a new menu everyday for lunch, delicious, healthy, very creative, and good price:) I booked for 3 nights, stayed a month.

Amazing price/quality option in Palomino!

In terms of price/quality, it’s very good!! I loved the private room with a balcony and hammock; I would definitely come back at that price! The staff is also very friendly and has great energy✨. The breakfast could be a bit more varied and generous, but for the price, it’s fine!
