In Palomino herrscht eine bedrückende Stimmung
Pros:

Nettes Boutique Hotel mit gutem Essen und Frühstück; hilfreiches Personal

Cons:

Leider ist der Strand in ganz Palomina und auch beim Hotel quasi nicht mehr vorhanden (durch den gestiegenen Meeresspiegel „weggefressen“; ist natürlich auch optisch nicht schön, das Meer ist leider recht verschmutzt. Alles hervorgerufen offenbar durch starke Regenfälle vor 1 Monat)

Verblijf was heerlijk, vooral door het personeel en de locatie.
Pros:

Wat een fijn personeel, elke dag een lach en echt aandacht voor hun gasten.

Cons:

Wij vinden het hotel echt een beetje gedateerd, oude kluisjes en veel achterstallig onderhoud.

Buena estancia.
Pros:

La ubicación es buena, al pie de la playa. El personal muy amable, la relacion costo por beneficio por habitación fue buena. El desayuno aunque tiene pocas opciones es bueno.

En general todo bien.

Cons:

Hubo marea alta semanas altas y el espacio de playa no estuvo habilitado al ciento por ciento. Estaban reparandolo. No es culpa del alojamiento.
