Schönes Hotel. Leider sehr laut, für Partyleute gut geeignet. Wenn nicht Keila so herzlich wäre, hätten wir gewechselt…
Pros:

Die Zimmer sind sehr großzügig und schön, auch die Dorms. Die Cabanas im Garten finde ich sehr eng. Tolles Restaurant Alma direkt darunter. Keila als gute Seele des Hauses ist unglaublich nett und und hilfsbereit. Super Pool (gibt nicht viele in Palomino)

Cons:

Leider ist gleich daneben eine der lautesten Bars. Aufgrund der offenen Bauweise ist man bis 3.00 live dabei.

Un lugar increíble y cerca a TODO
Pros:

Es un lugar muy tranquilo y hermoso, queda cerca a todo. Tienes al lado maria mulata que es un muy buen rumbeadero, la playa está a 2 minutos así que es perfecto. Jesús y keila fueron unos anfitriones increíbles, siempre amables y atentos. Si necesitábamos agua con algo, lo hacían con todo el gusto. Los desayunos de Keila eran deliciosos
