I loved the the stay at this hostel. its sooo good to just chill. the beach is awesome, just 2 min walk, u can stay there and noone bothers you. walk to the river, awesome scenery and sunsets, enjoy the sunrise at the beach .... but just come here if u wanna chill, not much else to do. u can walk to the little village, buy some stuff there coz in the hostel is nothing to buy and no kitchen :-( so its more like a hotel, but amazing!!! really beautiful, lots off nature, to relax from whatever ;-)

Amazing hostel on the beach-the double rooms were superb with a nice balcony with a hammock so much space. Not so much to do if the weather isn't great as it's a very small town but if it is you don't need anything else. The food is also good there and at the fish restaurant on the beach.

The beach is stunning in Palomino, long, clean and empty, the hostel itself looks more like a 5 star hotel, big rooms with terrace, swimming pool and nice gardens. the other hostel they have in S.Marta was excellent too. Good job guys!

Palomino was recommended as THE best beach on the Carribean. I would say maybe it is, but compared to beaches around the world, I wouldn't even rate it. The water was muddy from the rivers and the currents too strong. The beach itself isn't very clean but that is Colombia. That being said, the hostel itself was beautiful with high ceiling thatched roofs, very nice rooms and a beautiful pool. I would come here maybe if I wanted to chill after the lost city hike or just relax for a couple of days.

The perfect place to kick-back and take it easy. Pizzas were delish and staff a pleasure. Wifi is temperamental. Rooms were cleaned late in the day and electricity cut out a few times during our stay. Somehow it didn't matter. The character of the hostel makes it totally worth it.

Great hostel and location - stunning beach! Staff were friendly and the rooms were fantastic! Only two slight complaints - food was ok - would have liked to see more fresh food/fish/salad on the menu. Also wifi was pretty poor - although I did learn that this was the only wifi in Palomino!

Lovely hostel. Clean airy rooms, spotless bathrooms and decent sized pool. alot of attentions to the lovely garden area. Bar was great, fantastic cocktails made by the lovely Amy. Only gripes was there was no real sign of a kitchen area but some parts were still under constuction, and its a little expensive. Still you get what you pay for. Would definately recommend.
