    The bedroom was incredible with a balcony looking to the sea, you can hear the waves at night and it’s amazing! The breakfast was made for me for free after I checked out which was lovely as well.

    if you are sensitive to noise, oropax are recommended at night, at least in the beach front room (because of the waves) - otherwise enjoy the relaxing sound :)

    Very friendly stuff & great location! it was amazing to wake up and see palms (beach front room)

    Nothing worth calling out here. The hotel is right on the beach and open so you get the sound of the sea. If you don’t find it relaxing, bring earplugs.

    Great spot on the beach. A short walk into town for restaurants and bars. And a short walk along the beach to the buzzy part full of people or go the other way to find a quiet spot for reading. Lovely, helpful staff. The perfect spot to end our trip.

    There was no outlet close to the desk.... my computer cord wouldn't reach to the closest one.

    This nice place has just a few rooms, which makes it a nice intimate place right on the water. The room had everything I could possibly want — a balcony with sea view, a large bathroom, bug bed and a desk for getting a little work done. The common areas included a day bed and other lounging areas that were nice.

    We were not even bothered by the shower which gave only "cold" water.

    When entering Palomino by the main road, it was a bit of a shake-down: do not expect a fancy "strip" with bars and restaurants and the likes: it is a basic town. The unpaved & muddy road to the beach left us in expectations what to find at the end of it. Honestly: at first, we were a tiny bit disappointed about the place, but soon that proved to be wrong. When staying at this narrow beach, one has to let go of all stress of daily life. Just indulge in the local vibe and enjoy every minute of it! Very friendly and helpful staff all over. Comfortable rooms (we booked first floor: with balcony), although equipped with fans only. But the ocean breeze is always there. Surprisingly good restaurant: copious breakfasts and good dinners. We celebrated our anniversary, and I booked the romantic table at the beach for dinner, surrounded by candles and a nice bottle of bubbles on ice. Along the beach, there are a couple of nice bars/restaurants, so there is no need to leave the beach. One has to visit the beach shack to the left, at the river mouth on a 20 mins beach stroll. Cold beers and fresh fish for lunch, cooked on the BBQ by mama.

    facilities are older and could be updated in places. lacks amenities like multiple lounge areas or comforts like hammocks or swings.

    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.

    When my partner wasn't feeling well, the girl behind the bar was so sweet. She made tea for him and he got some food that was better for his stomach than the dishes on the menu. Thanks!

    I thought it was quite expensive for one person and was a bit disappointed with the room, it didn't look like the pictures! Room was small and dark.

    The location is one of the best in Palomino, literally on the beach with beautiful views all day and night. The bar area was very pleasant with great food, drink and happy hour. The staff are really kind and friendly.
