“A Palm Paradise near Palomino!”
A Palm Paradise near Palomino! Clean and quiet rooms, a very friendly Colombian owner and a relaxed atmosphere. In our experience lots of places around this price range were a tad rundown along this particular coast of Colombia, Casalina is the opposite. We had a blast, reading on the beach and bodyboarding the waves.

“If you want to avoid the hustle and bustle of Palomino but still enjoy its beauty you could do worse than this place.”
It’s very quiet. Nothing but the waves for noise. The beach is beautiful and wild. There are only 6 rooms as far as I could tell so it never gets crowded. Perfect if you want real peace and quiet.

“A welcoming hotel right on the beach with a lovely relaxed atmosphere.”
This was a very relaxing place to stay we loved our individual cabin under the palm trees with a view of the sea. The staff were super nice and friendly and we enjoyed our breakfast and had some nice salads for lunch. In the evening we went into Palomino, which although small has a few nice bars and restaurants. During our stay the sea was always rough so we didn't risk going in too deep. We had a lovely chilled week here which was just what we were looking for.

“A peaceful stay near the beach, but unprofessional staff behavior”
It’s quiet and relaxing, close to the beach. The bungalow was clean and comfortable. The beach isn’t crowded because it’s located away from Palomino’s main and more active areas.

“We came for 4 days, we stayed for a week. A very quiet place with private beach and nature around.”
Diego and has team are absolutely amazing. It's a great place with a private beach. The resort is very private and hidden in the palm trees. We had everything what's needed, the bungalows are very eco and natural build with wood with nice white walls and floors. It has a nice restaurant and various choices of breakfast. 6min by tuk tuk to Palomino (you can also walk around 1h by the beach), 1h to Tayrona park and 2h to Santa Marta airport. We used both taxi and bus and both ways are okay, you can catch the bus right in front of the resort.

“Beautiful paradise”
This place is perfect. The huts are beautiful and you’re on your own private beach. This whole stretch of beach is cut off from Palomino by river mouth and is empty and also much more beautiful. Just take a tuk tuk into town for 15k, it’s so worth it.

Everything was wonderful! The place is absolutely beautiful, peaceful and quite.. perfect to relax and recharge your energies on a beautiful and basically private beach! Still you have good transportation if you wish to go to Palomino (5m) and have a bit more of movement and party. The room was perfectly clean and comfortable (I loved the open air WC) right in front of the beach. Food was delicious and all staff super friendly and paying attention to any needs. It was my favourite place in Colombia and I will definitely come back!! Thank you Casalina for the good energies 🍀

“Hope to come again for a few more days!”
The property itself is beautiful! Location is perfect, very peaceful, the beach is one step away. The sound of the ocean is just amazing. Food in the restaurant (a la carte) is delicious.

Just a stunning place, beautiful cabins only metres from the sea. Lots of tree cover. A hammock and two long sofa-type cushions in each outdoor area. Private, open-air shower and toilet area. And a weird and lovely soft foggy light too thanks to the humidity.
