Guest Reviews
- Graeme (10/5): Simply the best - The best place we've stayed in Colombia! Relaxed and exclusive with all the modern comforts, plus the food is great! All the staff were very helpful and went above and beyond to help me surprise my girlfriend on her birthday
- Verified traveler (6/5): Tolle Lage - Direkt am Strand,überall stehen Stühle und Luegen bereit. Schattige Plätze unter den Palmen. Baden okay, schwimmen wegen starken Wellen und gefährlicher Strömung nicht erlaubt ( im Februar ist es sehr aufgewühlt )
- Verified traveler (8/5): Fun in Palomino! Be aware of the sea conditions.. - Playa Mandala is an amazing place for relaxation and disconnecting from the world. The beach is beautiful, but the water is very rough, with strong currents. Depending on the time of the year you should not enter the water. It is also quite far from the town and you need to walk everywhere, which I like or take moto taxis.
Zully is great on answering questions and helping with any issues.
We also went to the Palomino River with the tubing experience. Oliver was our guide! He knows the area very well, accommodates to your liking thinking also on safety and it is a lot of fun! The experience is very relaxing, the hike and motorcycle ride are a lot of fun too!
- luis francisco (10/5): Espectacular, relajante y bello lugar - El hotel fue espectacular, la atención de todo el personal fue cálida y nos sentimos como en casa. La cabaña el morro 1 donde nos quedamos tiene una conexion especial con la naturaleza, la comida fue deliciosa (nuestras felicitaciones sinceras) y queda a igual distancia de los rios San Salvador y palomino. Creo que este hotel sera uno de nuestros favoritos para volver una y otra vez.
- Andreas (8/5): Wenn dann hier. - Schöne und ruhige Anlage, gerne wieder.
- Andreas (8/5): Zum relaxen, super. - Entspannt.
- chloe (10/5): Bon hotel à Palomino - Très bonne expérience, tout proche de la plage, lit assez confortable (un peu dur et moustiquaire difficile à fermer), très bon restaurant (excellent Ceviche)
- Kllaas (8/5): Hüttendorf - Sehr gute Küche, einfache Hütten mit guten Betten, nahe am Strand. Was braucht der gestresste Urlauber mehr zum Entspannen?
- Ivan (10/5): Great food by the ocean and nature - Everything was great and we had a great experience enjoying the nature. The food was outstanding
- Verified traveler (6/5): Atención nula - La atención al llegar es malísima no hay absolutamente nadie que te ayude con el equipaje, debí ir a decirles q me ayudaran con las maletas, no están pendientes del huésped!
Al hacer check out tuve la sorpresa de que me querían cobrar unos precios completamente distintos a los de la carta que habían dejado en el mini bar.
El sitio en general es muy bonito y óptimo para descansar
- Miguel (8/5): Tranquilidad a pocos pasos del mar caribe. - La experiencia en Hotel Playa Mandala fué en terminos generales muy buena. Como recomendación creo que falta en la habitación un televisor y televisión por cable y mayor iluminación en las áreas comunes.
- Gypsie (6/5): Friendly staff but bad facilities and room - The service from the team was OK unfortunately power shortages prevented proper functioning of fan in the room. Also our tour was cancelled without notice
- jorge (10/5): Un hotel para el relax - En general muy bien, la atención excelente y la tranquilidad sin igual, se debe mejorar en tener más variedad de alimentos y precios más económicos.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Hotel frente a la playa - Hotel tranquilo .. frente a la playa ... sería bueno que implementarán el servicio más en la playa. La comida muy rica ...
- JUAN DAVID (10/5): Excelente relación precio-beneficio - Excelente servicio, atención al cliente y el hot en general es muy bueno. Recomendadísimo.
- Verified traveler (8/5): A Nice Getaway in Palomino - Lovely location by beach. Very private with only 5 cabanas. Improvements would be a shower head for the shower instead of a pipe, and fruit for breakfast.
- Marc (6/5): Nice spot - just remember you're in the jungle! - Overall, a good experience. The location is great, a little further out and quieter than the hotels and hostels closer to the main beach in Palomino. We enjoyed relaxing in the shade on the beach - it looks just like the pictures. The food was great! Staff was nice, and the woman at the reception spoke English so there were no communication difficulties.
I hate to add the negatives as I feel like the staff did a good job in doing what they could, but we experienced some power outages, rat droppings (the problem was being addressed, I was told), and the wifi was out of order. Just remember, you're in the jungle!
- Verified traveler (6/5): Not as nice as expected... - The hotel is not as nice as I expected. The facilities are clean and basic but not very comfortable. There are not comfortable chairs in the rooms and terraces.
They promised me Wifi but they dont have. The manager said that the service was unavailable in all the region, but it was not true. Other than that, the service is good, the food is excelent.
- Kevin (10/5): Playa Mandala - Had a great time. The beach/water was a little wild the time we were there, especially in the afternoon. We found an amazing river that emptied out into the ocean about an 1/2 hours walk west along the shore and that place was very worth it. Food was great and the chief and support were very proud of it. A short walk east along the beach were other hotels & hostels with dinning and drinks possibilities. Partook in happy hour a couple of afternoons at the hostel next to the Yoga/veggie restaurant hostile. Spent 2 nights, which was just about right.
- Peterboonya (8/5): - Good this place for relax , we stay for 2 night
