    Prices in the restaurant are a bit expensive More variety in the restaurant would be nice No stores in close proximity of the hotel. Not directly connected to the hotel, but if you are booking the transport to/from Santa Marta or other place, it’s best to book it through the hotel. If not and not very clearly said, drivers will not pick you up but you will have to go to the village, to the pick up spot. Not all drivers are clear with that (best avoid the driver Halminton).

    Nice, remote and peaceful location Very nice staff Breakfast, not perfect, but interesting and good

    Nothing.

    Beautiful, beachfront area, where the bungalows are located (looks like a postcard). Spacious, comfortable bungalow with a great design. Delicious breakfast, friendly staff, great massages. The hotel is located within a short beach walk from Palomino, and close to the entrance to the Tayrona National Park.

    Not great value for money, quite expensive, breakfast options for vegetarians/vegans needs improving. Fan in the bungalow was weak. We also moved next door for a night as it was full but they didn’t have the courtesy to even use their tuk tuk to drop us off and we got ripped off by the one they called.

    Beautiful grounds and really good food at the restaurant for lunch. Close to the beach, peaceful, and nice staff. Great for relaxing.

    Stunning beachfront property
    • Leisure trip
    • Group
    • Superior Bungalow King - On the beach
    • Stayed 3 nights

    The spacious casita (hakuma?) had a second floor for additional guests, which was an unexpected noise source of creaking floors, dragged chairs, and heavy footsteps. Fortunately, this only lasted one night, but I will make sure to forgo the extra space and ceiling height for the extra quiet of a 1-story casita.

    The property is gorgeous, with lots of green areas, walking paths, and beachfront palapas. The casitas are spread out over the expansive property, so you feel like you are alone. The included breakfast has a delicious variety, and the paid dinner options were better than any of the meals we had in town.

    - Chairs were dirty with bird poo. - Pool with too much clorine. - Very old beach towels. - No AC and hot shower. Due to the warm weather, the shower didn’t bother us, but no AC did. - Room is old, needs renovation. - Lack of plugs. - I wouldn’t rate the place as a resort. Don’t come if you’re looking for modern facilities.

    - Very peaceful and not too far from town. If you’re looking for a lively place, this is not for you. - Good location. We walked a few times via the beach (15 mins) or the main road during the day (40mins). At night we got a tuk tuk for about 20 thousand COP. - Close to other beach bars. - Staff extremely helpful. - Food is extraordinary. Amazing dinner as well. Breakfast is perfect. - Pool and beach bar with amazing food and drinks. - The resort itself is beautiful, amazing view, loads of birds and squirrels around.

    very little could have been improved on.

    Can't really find enough complimentary words for this hotel and its wonderful staff. We had nothing but courtesy and helpfulness throughout our stay here. Loved the room, the balcony with hammock and the peaceful quiet atmosphere. Breakfasts here were brilliant, dinner was great and the views from the restaurant are stunning.

    Amazing location which was walking distance to Palomino. True green credentials. We were in a room up by reception and the restaurant and pool. No aircon but the ceiling fans worked great so didn’t miss them. We had a patio with a hammock. Fly sheets on all windows - no problem with mosquitoes. The restaurant was great - up on decking which took advantage of the sea breeze. We had delicious breakfasts (with a couple of parrots who joined us!) and lunches/dinners were also really tasty. The whole place was full of trees and plants, beach was lovely with an amazing amount of places to sit in the shade. A second pool on the beach allowed for safe swimming as the sea can have rips. It was beautiful and clean. Bar on the beach was good - swings to sit on which was fun.

    The views were beautiful. The resort was a little bit down the beach from Palomino town so we were able to enjoy a quieter beach in front of the resort. However, we could still walk down to Palomino town if we wanted to. Walk was ~10 min down the beach. We stayed in a hut on the beach and it was wonderful to wake up to the sounds of birds and waves crashing. Restaurant food and cocktails were tasty. Would definitely recommend.

    The stay was 11/10. The facilities are nice and clean, the staff is amazing (especially Neilis during breakfast) and the food was the best we had so far in Colombia. We also had massage (both deep and relaxing one) and those were also super good.

    The private beach is excellent and there are plenty of sunbeds available. The Hotel provides towels for the beach. Closer to the "centre" of Palomino, the beach is very narrow, crowded and noisy. The pool near the beach is also great, as you can't really get into the sea because of waves and currents. The hotel staff are very friendly and helpful. The food (breakfast and dinner) is also delicious. We were able to sleep well at night thanks to the ceiling fan and had no problems with mosquitoes. All in all, a perfect stay and perfect for relaxing and enjoying.

    Perhaps the bathrooms of the cottages could be upgraded and better maintained. I missed room service in my terrace and better services in the beach-huts. Room rates are high for a Colombian. It is not a resort. I would give it three and half stars.

    AITE Is the place to relax and “do nothing”, being that a very good thing. It is a real eco lodge in every which way. I appreciated the strict rules to damper unwanted noice. The silence is extremely nice. No music allowed which permits nature to take over. The personnel were extremely nice and friendly. Perhaps the best is that I would not call it a Resort. The beach houses are in a sand garden full of palm trees and very much apart so as to have total privacy. Can’t hear a word from neighbors. Don’t go to AITE if you are looking for @rumba. You can find it with a ten minute beach walk. We had a wonderful week at AITE. I hope owners will do a good job in maintaining it as being the cottages by the beach upkeep is very expensive.

    - staff was attentive, kind, and helpful in planning an incredible off-resort tubing excursion, and on-resort massage - didn't expect to enjoy the music-free vibe, but it was peaceful and relaxing - beautiful pool, and a bar that was just steps from the water with great drinks - not for travelers who are looking for heavily sanitized, high luxury lodging -- Aité was in touch with the environment, the people, and the flow of nature without sacrificing safety, comfort, cleanliness, and beauty.

    The food at the restaurant was disappointing - and not being able to get room service is a bit of a drawback. Feels like a place that’s working towards being a luxury hotel but needs to refine the services they offer
