Quite Paradise

Perfect location, right at the beach. Clean water (but rough), beautiful palm trees, all the bungalows are facing the ocean. The manager is a super kind Spanish gentleman who is talking perfect English. No partying, no DJ, no all day music pollution. There is only tranquility relaxation and clean nature.

Our bungalow was very secluded in the middle of green. A lot of privacy and a nice balcony. The airco and the wifi worked very well. Good shower with a lot of pressure. Cleaning came each day. Very nice breakfast. Tasty fruit and juice and a lot!

The tranquillity of being away from the town area yet close enough to walk if you wanted to. The well kept gardens and beautiful bungalows. Very friendly staff and made us feel welcome. Breakfast was amazing and worth the extra cost.

Perfect spot

This is wonderful place right in front of the beach. The units are not luxurious but really spacious and comfortable, with quite AC. The luxurious part is the huge garden that is almost all for you ( just few units in a huge space that gives intimacy that other fancy hotels don’t have). The village is just a few minutes walking on the beach. People who are running this place are wonderful. Manager is really polite and all the time willing to help (also speaks English for those you need, Sara is making delicious home made food. We really liked our 5 day stay ! Highly recommended.

Beautiful beachviews

Francisco was extremely helpful when we arrived. My husband was a bit ill and Francisco made sure he was as comfortable as possible, providing extra coconut juice etc. His wife cooked us a delicious vegan lunch. The setting is beautiful with views of the sea. The bungalows have good airconditioning and were very spacious.

Simply paradise

The owner were so amazingly friendly and even took our booking at a very late hour and had great advice. We felt most welcome and can’t wait to visit this piece of paradise again.

Super relaxing hotel, huge garden right on the beach with just a few bungalows making it quiet and relaxing. We took the family bungalow which had ample space for us downstairs and our two children (8 and 11 years) upstairs. The kids loved playing in the garden and beach and while full swimming is not advised we were still able to happily splash around in the shallows. It’s a five minute walk to the first set of beachside restaurants and ten minutes to the start of the Main Street of Palomino with loads of restaurants to choose from - perfect for us.

Look no further, Hotel Playa Mandala is magical and memorable thanks to all the staff 💖

Booking was straight forward, accommodation was really comfortable and in a beautiful location which is easily accessible to the town yet so peaceful. However the welcome and care we received was EXCEPTIONAL from Francesco, Franco and Sara. They were so friendly and each went out of their way to help and make our stay so comfortable and memorable. We were given super recommendations about the local area, they arranged trips and taxis with ease and efficiency and our yummy breakfasts were prepared freshly with so much care and attention. We felt so welcome, thank you for everything, you deserve every star ✨

Perfect place for a restful holiday. Short or long term stay.

Everything is to like of Playa Mandala. I have been back 5 times already. The location is close enough to walk to Palomino yet far enough to be away from the noise. The units are luxurious and the staff friendly. The chef in the kitchen cook meals to die for yet they are not overpriced. I will return once more in a couple of weeks.

Incredible location, and great staff!

The location is incredible, the beach is so quiet and relaxing. The staff could not do more to help, and the food was lovely! The room was a great size and the property is very spaced out.

A perfect place where to relax a few days

Relaxing, very good food and nice staff. However, do not come here and expect perfection. There are some parts that are worn down and does not work perfectly, but it does not matter because the place provides a nice feeling and friendly atmosphere😊

Safety alert: do not book any tours with Camilo, the receptionist.

+ breakfast was good and cook was very friendly and nice + the hotel is very quiet (not as close to the main street of Palomino), which allows for a good night rest. + the hotel property is very spacious
