"This is a beautiful newly refurbished hotel in a beautiful location! We stayed here for 2 nights with our 3 children. The pool and sauna are gorgeous, rooms well equipped with air conditioning and everything you need including fridges and huge TVs. Breakfast and food is amazing and the staff are super helpful and attentive. Carolina couldn’t have been more helpful. We both had couples massages which were also amazing and a must!! I was worried about the location but it’s a 10 minute walk along the beach into palomino and we walked back both nights in the dark. Beautiful hotel in great location. Would thoroughly recommend to families and couples who do not want to be too close to the party or backpacker scene. Would return here if we were coming back"

"I stayed at RCH with my husband and two young children (6 and 8 years) five nights in January 2024. Upon arrival, one of the owners Paul offered our family an upgrade for a small fee - specifically, he upgraded us to a family suite, which comprises two interconnecting rooms (each with own bathroom). This configuration was our favourite configuration in all of Colombia, as previously we had been losing sleep by sharing two double beds between the four of us (the standard family room setup in the other hotels we stayed in). Thank you Paul for thinking of us and making this happen. Rooms - we were in interconnecting suites 3 and 4. The rooms are thoughtfully furnished and sleep quality is high (you can hear the waves!) The beds, pillows and linen were extremely comfortable, and a mosquito need is hung around the bed in case you would like it (though we didn’t actually see any mosquitoes). The bathrooms open-air and extremely lovely. L’Occitane essentials are provided. Hot water is plumbed in (quite unusual in these parts!), including at the outdoor beach shower. Vibes and location - the location is approx. a 2.5 hour, easy drive from Santa Marta. In terms of vibes, there is a lovely pool, bar and restaurant scene overlooking the water. The beach scenario is chalk and cheese as compared with Santa Marta (where we stayed for two nights). Here, there are no nuisances such as motorised watersports, touts setting up jewellery stands in front of you, people grabbing your feet and not letting go in order to give you a massage (all happened in Santa Marta). And while I don’t want to unduly disparage Santa Marta - the beach is truly stunning and we still had an amazing time - this is a much quieter experience, with only a few others on the beach at at time, and nobody selling things. Suitability for families - absolutely yes! Bring your children here. Just happy days on the beach - and more! Children are warmly received and welcomed. In fact, Paul went out of his way to arrange a special visit from a macaw for the children at the hotel! Between the beach and pool, and types of activities on offer, our children were extremely happy and entertained. I would like to add a special note that the people who designed the menu really “get kids”, and there are many options that our kids just loved. At one point they were fighting over the pasta al horno (I think that’s what it was called! The pasta with cheese). Interestingly, I thought the hotel was still romantic and perfect for couples. Paul and Carlos are nailing it! Activities - we were truly touched by the effort Carlos went to in planning our activities. We told Paul (in the first instance, then Carlos) what our interests were, and they curated a little itinerary for us. The flamingo experience was truly world-class and I hope that this attraction will be developed sustainability if and when it becomes more popular! Fingers crossed. But pre-kids, hubby and I saw flamingoes in four countries - Chile, E"

"Some of the reviews on this hotel are incredibly harsh to the point I almost cancelled due to fear, maybe things were different before but I had a great experience here despite having high standards. The rooms were finished to high spec, the service was good and fast and the hotel offers a peaceful quiet atmosphere (something not so common in Palomino or in the Caribbean region in general). If you want to be close to Palomino town this isn't the best choice for you as it's a little further out but that's why it's peaceful! The restaurant is just okay I'd say, it's a little pricey and the food is good but not spectacular. The cocktails are very good though! "

"Basic and clean room with air conditioning. Good rates. 7 minutes walk to the beach. Breakfast is basic."

"The location was good, close to the beach but a bit far off from the centre. The food was good & affordable. Beds were incredibly comfy. Most of the staff were great. Very much like others have mentioned, it is very chill. I was travelling solo and met 2 other solo girls which made the experience even better. I was there for 2 nights and was upset that they didn't clean the shared washroom during that time and the dorm room doesn't lock."

"Very friendly staff. Clean rooms The pool was pretty and refreshing with excellent views of the ocean waves. The water pressure in our room was very low, and there was no hot water available in the rooms for showering. WiFi was available around the hotel grounds but not available in our room. Overall a great beach experience"

"This hotel is honestly the best I have ever stayed in. Everything about it made my vacation feel easy, comfortable, and enjoyable. The staff were always friendly and helpful, ready to answer any question and make sure I had what I needed. The room was clean, cozy, and well-designed, with small details that really made a difference. The breakfast was fresh and tasty every morning, and the location made it simple to get anywhere I wanted. I didn’t have to worry about anything, which let me truly relax. If you are looking for the best hotel, this is definitely the one."

"A beautiful place on the beach with cabins that fit in with the surroundings and a building with a novel design in the shape of a beehive. For me it would have been just another hotel on the seafront, but the entrance through a mangrove on a wooden bridge was quite an experience, a walk of several meters through the mangrove and at the end you arrive at the hotel, the beach and the sea... At night it is worth walking along the mangrove path which is very well lit and enjoying the sounds and shapes of nature. The best thing is that there are no noisy neighbors for miles. The attention of Germán and his entire team was exceptional, the cuisine was delicious and the rooms were very comfortable... Definitely a place to repeat... highly recommended."

"Perfect beach location. Nice clean room and good food. Drinks are expensive"
