A definite would go back if ever I was in the area.
Pros:

Amazing location right on the beach and within a few minutes walk of the centre. The food was to die for. I don't think I was disappointed once. Some of the best food I have eaten anywhere! The rooms were spacious and the bed super comfy.

Cons:

We had a lot of problems with the water pressure and lack of hot water. The staff did what they could but it didn't really resolve. Fortunately it was hot enough to not want to take hot showers but hair washing was a bit problematic.

Great option for Palomino
Pros:

Casa Coraje is a stylish, laid-back beachfront property with a lot going for it—and overall, we genuinely really enjoyed our stay. It’s a beautiful, rustic, boho-chic hotel right on the beach, and it creates exactly the kind of relaxed, escape-like atmosphere you’re looking for in this part of Colombia. We would absolutely stay here again.

The property itself is thoughtfully designed and very well appointed, with a natural, effortless aesthetic that blends perfectly with the surroundings.

There are two pools and plenty of lounge beds and chairs, giving you flexibility to relax throughout the day without feeling cramped.

The restaurant is strong, offering a well-rounded menu with good variety. You’re also in a great spot food-wise—Makao next door is excellent, and Rincón Escondido on the other side is a very good seafood option.

One of the standout features is the ability to walk into town easily along the beach during low tide, which adds to the charm of the location.

The WiFi was solid overall, powered by Starlink. There were occasional latency issues, but nothing major, and staying in the main building terrace helped.

A particularly thoughtful touch was the thermos and filtered water station, which is a great amenity in an area where water is not potable.

Service was another highlight—friendly and attentive staff across the restaurant, bar, and housekeeping, and a very helpful front desk. They even helped arrange medication delivery for us twice, which was above and beyond.

Cons:

There are several areas where improvements would make a meaningful difference and better align the experience with the property’s positioning.

The included breakfast is far too basic and feels designed to push guests toward paid upgrades. While the full menu is good, there’s no credit or offset if you order something more substantial. Also, the juice selection was repetitive—blackberry every day.

The power outage experience was disappointing. While outages happen, the hotel indicated the generator would switch on immediately, but it took over 90 minutes, leaving us in a hot, humid room with no fan or airflow. Even more surprising, the AC does not work on generator power, which is something other comparable properties manage to provide.

There is no hot water, which in fairness I should have caught ahead of time. That said, I ended up getting used to cold showers and actually enjoyed them as a refreshing break from the heat—but it’s still something guests should be clearly aware of.

Privacy could be improved in the bathroom. The shower has a large screened window facing a staff walkway, and while it’s a service area, better coverage would help.

The bed was advertised as a queen but felt closer to a full, which was noticeable.

The animal situation needs to be addressed. While being pet-friendly is great, this went too far—dogs were begging for food in the restaurant, jumping on lounge chairs, and one even attempted to bite. There was also a cat doing the same. This detracts from the guest experience and isn’t ideal for anyone involved.

Nuestro spot favorito en Palomino (para siempre volver)
Pros:

Ya hemos venido en par ocasiones y las que faltan, cuando uno decide salir de vacaciones o un fin de semana, lo primero es encontrar el lugar ideal para quedarse. Hay que comparar muchas opciones hasta dar con ese sitio que se ajuste al presupuesto, pero también a lo que quieres vivir y experimentar.

Nosotros siempre nos hospedamos en la habitación Encanto, frente al mar: escuchas las olas toda la noche, te despiertas con el mar de frente y disfrutas del amanecer desde la comodidad de la cama o la hamaca.

En Casa Coraje siempre encontramos todo lo que buscamos para relajarnos y escapar del día a día citadino… por eso lo elegimos siempre.

Si quieres disfrutar de un restaurante 10/10, este es el lugar. Si buscas un espacio para relajarte, también.

En resumen, una experiencia completa, sin sorpresas negativas y con todo lo que ves en las fotos y te lo imaginas es tal cual.

Muchas gracias a todo el equipo: bar, restaurante, recepción y hotel. Se nota el compromiso y la calidad en cada detalle.

Great location but price too high for what is offered.
Pros:

The location is amazing

Cons:

Breakfast is very light for the price of the room.
We were very disappointed by the location of the room.
Feels like a room that shouldn’t be sold to guest especially at that price.
Very expensive for what it is.

Stylische Unterkunft abseits des Palominotrubels
Pros:

Super schöne Unterkunft direkt am Meer. Alles sehr stylisch. Das Essen ist super. Das Personal freundlich.

Cons:

Im Zimmer war es machst äußerst heiß. Es gab in unserem Zimmer keine Klimaanlage. Wir hatten nachts die Fenster auf, was aufgrund der Moskitos nicht ideal war. Auch gibt es kein heißes Wasser, was ich bei dem Preis erwarten würde. Im Außenbereich lief unentwegt Musik, was etwas nervte. Und - dafür kann das Hotel aber nichts - der Strand ist sehr erodiert, somit war es kaum möglich am Strand lang zu laufen.

Esperaba más
Pros:

Considero que la ubicación es buena.

Cons:

La habitación estaba bien. Sin embargo, sólo la cama doble tenía sobresabana y éramos tres personas; las camas sencillas no tenían sábana.
Un día llegamos a la habitación y estaban unas llaves de servicio pegadas a la puerta (no había nadie adentro haciendo aseo), fuimos a dejar las llaves en la recepción y al comentarles lo que pasó pero nos ignoraron.
Hicieron el aseo de la habitación a medias, sólo sacaron la basura y arreglaron la cama grande. Además se llevaron todas las toallas, fuimos a pedir más y nos iban a dar solo una toalla (eramos tres personas).
Nos dijeron que podíamos pedir toallas de playa pero que no podíamos sacar las toallas de su zona de playa (actualmente no hay playa por la erosión).
La atención al cliente no es buena, desde el momento en que llegamos al hotel el personal nos miraba de forma despectiva, como si te juzgaran con la mirada, pensé que era solo a nosotros pero escuché a varias personas decir lo mismo. Un día estábamos en una de las mesas esperando que habilitaran para pedir desayuno, pasaron a dejar los individuales, dimos los buenos días y nos miraron mal. Preferimos ir a comer a otro hotel. La única persona amable fue el vigilante que nos recibió en la noche, una persona muy servicial y atenta.
Una semana antes me escribieron por WhatsApp para hacer check-in virtual y que al llegar sólo se pagaba para la entrega de llaves. Sin embargo, al llegar al hotel nos tocó hacer todo el proceso de check-in; además nos pasaron las hojas con las reglas del hotel pero nunca explicaron nada.

Netter Ort zum kurzen Ausspannen, tolles Hotel, viel Glück beim Sichern des Strandes
Pros:

Top sauber, direkt am Strand, auch im Vergleich zu anderen Hotels vor Ort tolle Außenanlage mit vielen Daybeds direkt am Meer und unmittelbar dahinter. Überschaubare Größe. Fußläufig etwa 5-10 Minuten zur „Fußgängerzone“ mit kleinen Lädchen und Restaurants.
Tolle Wellen am Strand. Schwimmen geht nicht, aber mit den Wellen „kämpfen“
Gerne wieder.

Cons:

Palomino hat ein Erosionsproblem am Strand. Aktuell wird viel unternommen, den Strand zu sichern, leider häufig mit großen, mit Sand gefüllten Plastiksäcken (BigBags). Das betrifft auch den kleinen Hotelstrand. Hat uns nicht so gestört, wir mussten nur etwa 30 m laufen um eine tolle öffentliche Badestelle zu erreichen. Wichtig: das ist kein Problem nur des Hotels, sondern des gesamten Ortes.
