A charming hotel in a peaceful setting and beautifully kept grounds. The staff, particularly Jose, were friendly, helpful and polite. A delicious breakfast was served each morning with a smile plus free tea, coffee and filtered water was available all day long. The beds were comfortable and everywhere was very clean. The veranda was spacious with comfortable seating areas and hammocks. A little far from anywhere, but the local bus to Palomino (about 8km away) runs every 15 mins right past the hotel gate and the gatekeeper will flag it down for you.

If you’re someone like me who prefers to be surrender by nature and calmess instead of bars and a busy road then this place is perfect. Short walk from the beach and main road. It can be dark at night to walk around, however I never felt unsafe after dark on the roads.
It has an Asian vibe to it and gorgeous landscaping. The rooms are extremely spacious and gorgeous. The staff is incredible and super sweet.
There is also someone at reception 24/7 so there is that sense of security. The property is well taken care of. I stayed for 6 nights and didn’t want to leave. Thank you. 🥰

Everything was wonderful! The place is absolutely beautiful, peaceful and quite.. perfect to relax and recharge your energies on a beautiful and basically private beach! Still you have good transportation if you wish to go to Palomino (5m) and have a bit more of movement and party. The room was perfectly clean and comfortable (I loved the open air WC) right in front of the beach. Food was delicious and all staff super friendly and paying attention to any needs. It was my favourite place in Colombia and I will definitely come back!! Thank you Casalina for the good energies 🍀

Palomino has become a place where foreigners go to have fun with drugs, alcohol and sex. The hotels are owned by foreigners who do not know the balance and good treatment with nature, I think it is a disturbing tourism for the communities and nature... Lots of noise in the surroundings

I was expecting a lot more!- it was quite dirty - lot of people who think they are free spirits !- lol found people there and the hostel not friendly at all!! Not even close to what we started back in the 60’s- quite disappointing for me!’

Palomino has a reputation for a relaxed place and lifestyle.
Palomino has a reputation for a relaxed place and lifestyle. This is not entirely true as most of the beachfront is built up with fenced off resorts. The quality of the food and cocktails is generally low to average at best. There are nice people, too, of course, but there is very few backpacking/hippie style going on.

This is a great town for beach vibes , good local...
This is a great town for beach vibes , good local restaurants and a bit of night life. There are lots of travelers but it isn't too touristy. Still an easy-going beach town. Go now before more tourists find it!
A float down the (shallow) river makes for a fun day and leave some time for some cervezas on the public beach at the end. If you take a motorbike to the trailhead, be prepared to hang on tight and ask for a helmet - health and safety doesn't seem to be a thing here!
Buses are easy to catch on the main road and tuk-tuks/motorbikes can be hired for getting around town, although nothing is too far to walk.
Looking forward to a return to Palomino!

Lovely beach, great for a walk and surfing during our visit...
Lovely beach, great for a walk and surfing during our visit in January. Not sure about other times of the year. Plenty of beach front properties offering food and drinks. The town streets are not tarmac, some muddy patches during our stay, no pavement beyond the first block, if you don't use a tuk tuk or motorbike on arrival to your hostel, you are carrying your bag, no wheelie suitcases!! No parking either, if you are driving, check where you can park. Probably a torch in some areas after dark, definitely along areas of the beach, would help and although we stayed away from main town would imagine it gets very lively after dark!
Sorry, but personally, there are too many dogs begging for food, most didn't look starving, think the restaurants may feed them, but I don't like dogs begging at the table. Seems throught South America, its a problem, but really noticed it here, especially with a dog rescue nearby.
The hostel is simple but offers everything that is needed for a stay in Palomino!
The restaurant had a variety of choices and everything we tried was very good! no need to leave the pool area on a lazy day.
The team of the hostel is was makes it unique! everybody was helpful and nice at all time and supported us with every request.
also the team supported us with arranging a transport from and to Santa Marta. ask for Edwin if you‘re looking for a nice and funny shuttle to the hotel! we had two rides with him and it was a joy!
Located in the "centre" of Palomino, the hostel is close to all the restaurants and about 10 minutes from the beach and main road where the buses stop. It's a great location! Plenty of vegetarian options around. The room was spacious, the bed was comfortable and the WiFi really worked. Good lockers and plenty of power sockets too. Nice little chilled out area outside. Can't ask for more than that! Wendy and her mum are lovely and definitely worth knowing. Gracias por todo!
One of the cheapest private rooms with aircon in Palomino with a pool & kitchen. Close to the main road so you don’t have to walk very far when you get off the bus, close to shops and restaurants and about 15 min walk to the beach. Has the potential to be a really good hostel with better cleaning and maintenance & including towels for a private room would be nice!
Very clean and beautiful hotel, with a nice pool to relax at, friendly staff and near to all of the places of interest. The street that leads to it is indeed dark at night but we didn’t feel unsafe at Palomino. Or in Colombia in general. Good breakfast and you have choices of food and drinks during the day at an extra cost. No insects in the room.
The hostel was nice and Enri was good and helpful. Really good location just away from the main street, but very close to walk for all the stalls, bars, restaurants and beach.
The hotel had a cosy feel with large trees, almost felt like were in the forest. Swimming pool was good and refreshing, though basic. 1.3m deep.
Brilliant location, out of the main touristy noisy area but very close to the beach and to the shops. Kitchen was very nice, the vibe in the hostel is very laid back, not a party hostel, the main area is full of hammocks with people just chilling out. The beds were comfy and the staff were very friendly
It was such a beautiful location. It was very peaceful being around nature! The hotel staff was also so lovely and helpful. It made our trip even better because they gave us good recommendations for places to go for different restaurants and the beach. We tried surfing which was a lot of fun!
Lovely and beautiful place to have a nice stay in Palomino.
Close to the beach as well as the supermarket and in a peaceful area.
We did some nice activities with the owner and the staff, cooked together and said good bye as friends. Highly recommending this accommodation.
I had an amazing stay at Palomino Ecohouse.
The location is beautiful and quiet, but still close to the beach and shops/restaurants. My room was very spacious and clean. The hosts are really lovely, they made me feel right at home! I 100% recommend staying there.
Beautiful hotel right by the beach in Palomino. I stayed in the sweet which was super nice, clean, and comfortable. The staff were really great and helpful with everything I needed. The food and drinks were also great - I didn't leave the place while I was there.
The facilities it has are really pretty, is silent so you can really go to rest and disconnect of your daily live, the food is good and you can find nearby good places to go, the beach is near of the hostel and is not expensive at all
i got this hostel at a really great price, so naturally I wasn’t expecting much, but this hostel exceeded my expectations! It is so close to the beach, has incredible food, and you won’t find a cheaper place that offers 4 bed dorms!
Breakfast was really good. The hostel is only 5 min away from the beach. The staff was amazing and they made me feel like I was staying at a friend's house. Totally recommended. I will definitely go back next time I visit Palomino.
lovely volunteers and cozy vibe! the tent accommodation was great (everything you need!) and the breakfast was delicious. perfect location, close to restaurants and short walk to the beach. highly recommend when going to palomino!
Delicious place surrounded by nature: river, beach, jungle paths. Beds are comfortable, healthy food and a lot of hammocks makes this hostel one of a kind.
The host Dean is a very welcoming and sweet person
absolutely gorgeous property right on the main street in palomino, but the hotel is still quaint and quiet. the breakfast was amazing, staff so friendly and the hotel was very clean with lovely facilities.
A peaceful and calmer location in palomino, easy walk to the beach and a nice pool to swim in. Room was comfortable but mosquito net needs replacing. Staff were super lovely :)
It was very tranquil, if we forget the wedding that was being held in the next hotel over. Good pool and nice beach with swaying palm trees. The rustic cabanas were wonderful.
The hotel is right next to the beach. The staff was really appreciated, welcoming, very friendly and helpful.
I'll definitely stay there again next time
