Perfect beach stay in Palomino

Perfect accommodation right on the beach. We had a lovely time here during our stay. The center of the village is a couple of minutes walk (over the beach). The staff is really lovely and you can really enjoy the days on the beach here. Rooms were nice and clean. It is really peaceful but still close to the center. Definitely would recommend staying here!

We had an amazing time, the hotel is humble but the staff were really great, super friendly and very helpful! When I got burnt on my legs they even went and picked aloe Vera for me and brought to my room on a plate with ice. The food was also really really good! We ate every meal there looking out into the beach. The Main Street is just a short walk away too with all the little shops, some bars and restaurants

Quiet, beautiful stay!

This hotel is right on the beach, it was great to wake up to the lovely ocean breeze at breakfast. The breakfast and food options were great and very tasty. The staff were lovely and very helpful for anything we needed. The chill out area of the hotel is great and the sun beds are right on the beach. It was definitely on the more rustic side as Palomino tourism is growing, but they are gorgeous beaches and worth a visit if you want to relax.

Great vibes at this cool beach hotel in Palomino!

Beautiful beach hotel with an excellent relaxed vibe due to the great staff working there. The food and drinks were also very good. This hotel has a small private part of Palomino beach which is amazing for sunbathing and you can walk along the beach to get to Palomino town which means you can get the chilled vibes of the hotel by day and, if you want, can head into the town to enjoy the bars and restaurants at night.

The staff were super friendly and welcoming. The location is also excellent, right in front of the beach

Cute boutique hotel - but check if room has AC

It was very well located, rooms were decent size. Hotel is small so it feels more boutique and I liked it !

Lovely staff, lovely hotel

Loved our stay here. The staff were brilliant and so helpful. The room was lacking somewhere to hand your clothes up and our room was close to the kitchen so there was a little sound travel but we would stay again

Highly recommended

The location is excellent as the hotel is beachfront. Can't say enough about the staff, all were very good at what they do and very helpful. The breakfast was very nice and one day that we had lunch the food was the best we had in Colombia.
