I spent a couple of days in the Hostel, me and my boyfriend really enjoyed the environment, quiet, relaxing and very chill, if you are planning to rest or take time for yourself this is the perfect place for it, a great connection with nature.

Adorable hostel a minute from the beach. The staff, social areas, dorm rooms exceeded my expectations! And it was nice and quiet in evenings

Tara

It was a little quiet when we were there but the grounds are very nice. Good bar (nice craft beer selection), on site restaurant, pool, pool table. Great cost effective option just seconds from the beach.

Great place to relax by the pool, beautiful grounds. Felt very safe, and the staff make you feel like family. Great cocktails. Simple but filling included breakfast. Social place. Impromptu dance lessons, games.

Nice pool. Good bar. Alright beds with mosquito nets as the rooms are rather open. So are the bathrooms #showeringunderthestars

Fleur

There is a nice pool and jacuzzi. The vibe was low-key even during Semana Santa. The bed is big and comfy with a mosquito net. There are multiple fans in the room (still warm but you’re on the coast!). They cleaned the bathroom multiple times a day. Things shut down at 11pm, lights off and everything, so they really respected the quiet hours which was nice since we were there to relax!

The facilities in general are great. The view of the cabins from the pool is really beautiful. The receptionists were really nice and always were making sure I was having a great time. One of them was May and I don’t remember the name of the other one (sorry)

My private room was very comfortable - although a little higher in price than I would have expected for Palomino. Great breakfast and pool and lots of hammocks to lie in. It's great to have a pool, as the beach can be rough and a bit windy.

That only one pool was accessible, since they were working on the other pool and was quite loud during the day.
The staff is excellent and very helpful! Especially Lineth:) My hut was really amazing. Better than on the photos. The whole hostel is like a paradise. The style and design is beautiful. Its full of plants and flowers and just stunning and pleasant to hang around. They are very flexible when you check out, so you can leave your bag there after check out, and also use the common areas and toilets. The breakfast is basic, but nice, and in general the food is good in the restaurant. Its only 5 min walk from the beach. Massage on the beach costs around 40.000 for 1hr (dont pay more), and mine was great. The local busses to Santa Marta etc. run all the time from the main road, and cost 10.000 cop. Ask in the reception and they can explain it. To get to Palomino the bigger companies stop on the main road and drop you off. From there you can take a tuk-tuk or moto to the hostel. Tuk-tuk should not cost more than 4.000, max 5.000 cop. Enjoy!

80% of the tourist in the hostal where Dutch (us included). We didn't bother, but just that you know.
We really like the hospitallity. The people are friendly and helpfull. The want to give you a good time and the beach is 1 min walk. The atmospheer is relaxt, the cabins are simple but fine. The food is great and cheap! If you dont want, you can spend the whole day at the hostal.

Dogs were running around all day and pooping in the common areas and the staff did not really pay attention. As well people who did not belong to the hostel were walking around inside which made me quite uncomfortable as they don't have lockers in the rooms to save you values. As well staff didn't really pay attention to that. Only one pool were working, which was very warm and I didn't enjoy as it's hot outside as well. My bed was not very comfortable. Had the typical whole in the middle of the mattress, which happens after too many people have been sleeping on it. For me the value for money is not given here but I guess that's everywhere in Palomino as it's a rising star.
The staff was great and the location is 2 min to the beach. Perfect. 4 options to choose from at breakfast. Great for socialising if you travel alone, but as well a lot of couples.

We were looking more for a chilled place, this hostel is more busy and can be a bit loud at some point in the evening. Unfortunately we had the room directly at the pool. Which is not bad in generell, it wasnt just for us the best accommodation.
Bed and shower were big and nice. People very helpful and breakfast also okay.

We might have gotten a couple of bites from bed bugs while staying, we aren't sure from where exactly because we spend time in all of the places around the hostel so could it be from the bed or the furniture around.

Staff was fantastic. Our holiday changed mid stream and we had to stay at Tiki Hut longer than planned while waiting for a flight home. Staff worked to find us a room for the extra days. Restaurant staff were very pleasant and the food was great, especially supper. Thanks for making a difficult time for us as good as possible. Great job.

the only tiny thing that wasn’t that good, was the waterpressure in the shower. all the rest was really awesome!!!
we had an amazing time & highly recommend the place. the 2 pools are great, since there is no real beach & a super strong current in palomino which makes swimming important, you really need them. the staff is super friendly, the food in the restaurant great & the daiquiris yummy. happy hour is a blessing. booked for 2 days, stayed for 4 & could have stayed much longer! palomino is a chilled little village that is going through some changes because of tourism right now. the earlier you go the better... won’t be the same in a few years I guess..!
