great location right on the water. It was a wonderful experience. Your food was some of the best we’ve had in Palomino. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. Even spoke some English with me when possible. Has good vibes.

John United States of America

The location Hot water The food in the restaurants

Dvir Israel

The staff was very helpful and friendly. It is a small hotel - so lots of personal attention if that is what you like. We had the room with the ocean view which was spectacular...everything I could have hoped for. The beach was great for walking - our 10,000 (or more) steps daily were very enjoyable. I really liked the Happy Hour as well - good value -

Bailey Colombia

Love the property, cozie, not to many rooms which makes it very private. Beach Front!

Carlos Colombia

Beautiful location on the beach. Rooms felt clean and comfortable. The staff was so nice and helpful.

Cesar United States of America

Picturesque location. Lovely restaurant and cute clean rooms. Very helpful staff.

Sean United States of America

All the installations are well maintained, we had the room with sea view and it was magic. The hotel is comfortable and quiet. The staff was so kind. They were always willing to help us with information and plans to enjoy the region. Great breakfast!

María Colombia
