Pro and con
The place was beautiful. Great to take photos and relax. Boat takes you directly from the main island to the hotel. But alot of people trying to sell you something or provide service even after saying no thank you. Food was good.

Probably won´t be repeating
The hotel is nice, however be aware that their main business is the "pasadia" or day trips, so hundreds of people pay to come and spend the day there. It is extremely noisy and full during the day, especially on weekends. Pictures look amazing, but they were probably taken at 6 am when nobody was there, because during the day the beach is packed. We were really mostly able to enjoy the place after 4pm when everybody left. The rooms are OK, newly renovated and nice, however most rooms have no windows, and therefore no natural light. We ended up leaving 2 days before our planned date. Food is pretty good with a varied menu.

Thank you Palmarito for a wonderful stay. I wish I could have stayed one more night . The only feedback I have is that their cocktails are not the best and too light for the price.

One of the things I liked about staying at Palmarito was that they include round transportation and you don’t have to pay the Port fee since the boat doesn’t leave from la Bodeguita. The property as a whole is very nice and looks safe. However, it’s a private beach but you still have outside vendors harassing you to buy stuff just like public beaches. Lunch wasn’t great! It is a “buffet” but you can only go one time and they will do it for you! Lunch is like $40,000 cop per person. Breakfast was really good. Room and bathroom was super spacious and very clean. You have all you need. If you are staying, beach won’t be empty probably until 4pm and they close it at 6pm. Pool area wasn’t very clean. At night, was very quite and not beach vibes. Not sure if they have parties only Saturdays or certain days but during the night , you have nothing to do.

La habitación bien limpia, la cama dura, en las noches algún animal caminaba en el techo de la habitación. La limpieza del complejo no era muy adecuada había basura por algunas partes, hay perros callejeros que molestan, la piscina estaba en remodelación y no avisaron antes de reservar. No había mucha variedad de comida en el menú. El personal muy amable.

When we arrived, they did not have our reservation. I am not sure if this is the fault of Expedia or the hotel, but it was very inconvenience after traveling 8 hours to Cartagena. The place was not as picture-esque as the photos. I wouldn't suggest it as it didn't seem there was a lot of people there and we were concerned about the rooms and if they would be secure. We didn't even stay, we left because we didn't feel as safe. We were three girls through and I'm sure the staff was fine but we just wanted to feel secure.

Do not set your expectations too high for this property. When arrived it looked nice, but as the day went on the workers kept coming for your drink orders, but wouldn’t clean up the finished cups. The pool was nice, but when we asked for a towel at the front area staff said 4:04pm no more towels for the day. They stop handing out towels at 4pm, wasn’t told that.
