Don't have hot water in the shower

Great location big rooms good restaurant in the hostel

The hotel has a great vibe. It has an open bar near the pool. They usually play music and there are some board games. However, sometimes the music is exceedingly loud. I even heard it in the room, which makes it difficult if you want to rest or sleep, because you will hear the music, the laughter, and the people in the pool. On the last day, I could not sleep properly but I guess loud music is normal in Palomino.

The Dreamer was an excellent option for staying in Palomino. The room was fine, it was clean, had a kettle with water to make instant coffee or tea, air conditioning, and a private bathroom. A hammock at the entrance of the room as well as a table and a couple of chairs. Also, if you request it, they clean the room. Thus, in terms of infrastructure, it is excellent. In terms of location, the hotel is near the beach as well as some restaurants and bars, which it makes easier to go to the beach or just go around for a walk or eat. You can walk from the main street to the hotel and vice versa. What I liked the most was the pool in the middle of the hotel, as well as the attention of the staff and the recommendations for plans. For example, the first day we signed up for the tubing list and it was fantastic.

as a solo traveller, found it quiet hard to meet people as everyone were either in groups or on their phones

right on the beach, very safe location, the AC was such a nice feature to escape the heat and the food/pool were wonderful!

An amazing location with a back entrance that leads almost directly on to the beach. Good facilities with a large bar/restaurant area. Had activities organised including salsa lessons while I was there. Accepts cards and all transactions while at the hostel are recorded on a wristband they give you at checkout. Had large lockers in the rooms which could fit all your bags

Quiet time starts at 11pm, which is fine, except there is music blaring from the bar area until then. Its so loud! It doesn’t make sense that such a serene surrounding that offers yoga is literally a discotheque until 11pm. Also the curtains are sheer. So you have bright lights from outside obstructing your sleep.

Spacious, clean rooms. Lovely grounds. Nice pool.

Amazing staff and facilities. we enjoyed everything.

Atmosphere was lively, but sometimes too lively - loud music never stops. Good party atmosphere, if that's your style, but maybe too much for us old people over 35 :) Also, there were a lot of bugs in my room - I know this is expected in these areas but I'm not used to this!

Food was good at the restaurant, pool and grounds were nice. Close to beach and the main drag. My friend stayed in the new part and his room was sooo nice. If I come back I will definitely ask for a room in the new section.

We didn't understand that there would be so many young people there. Music all the time in the lounge areas beside the pool. Great pool

Breakfast was a la carte

Nothing really. Only thing is that the music during the morning and afternoon can be a bit loud at times. One morning I asked to lower the volume a bit and they did. I wrote this review on friday morning but on friday afternoon they set up a sound system with a DJ playing music on festival level and at the same time 30 meters away another set for a party that is supposed to start in the evening. I don't see anybody other than the DJ enjoying the sheer terror of sound. Unacceptable to sit at the pool without earplugs. I rsted the hostel a 10 but have reduce it considerably. I think the hostel should realy ask their customers if they appreciate this.

We had a room in one of the newest buildings and that was really awesome. A very nice setup with lots of green and a beautiful pool. Delicious good and great staff. Very nice backpackers vibe and close to the beach.

Depending on your dorm you may lack electric plugs. Due to the proximity to the beach and the jardin outside, there are alot of mosquitoes so bring repellent!

Just next to the beach. An excellent common area with pool, bar, tables alot of trees etc it felt more like an hotel resort than an hostel.

more hooks to hang clothes in room in the new part pf property

fun Place friendly staff great fold and drinks

Cold shower and unclean toilets. In a room with 8 people, you need at least every day or every other day cleaning. Better communication of the trips and services on offer. Eg. They have yoga classes in the morning and you needed to sign up. None of this was communicated. Otherwise it was nice and comfortable

Just 2 min from the beach and they offer classes and such. Has a backpacker vibe

I wished there were more sunbeds by the pool, as we often did not find an available spot.

We had the best time out this place!!! It was so easy to get to know other guests, and the staff were so welcoming, sweet and helpful. The environment is so nice, and there is a lovely green garden and a nice pool. They arrange activites for you at the hostel, for example river tubing where you go with other guests from the hostel.

Electricity supply can be unstable, power cut offs can occur (but that can happen everywhere in Palomino). No water supply during power cut off. Music from the bar can be loud and have intensive hard electronic style

Great stay for beach vacation. A lot of space, tropical atmosphere, close to the beach
