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.
Karla
Smells like gasoline due to the beach activities. Very loud, NO relaxing.
Daniel
Great stay for a romantic getaway… clean and fun, very friendly staff.

Harold
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.
Alberto
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.

Probably worst hotel I ever stayed at
Pros: cold AC, mini fridge in room
Cons: dirty sheets, dirty towels, dirty shower, limited breakfast with flies, birds, and bees surrounding food and drink, multiple dogs in dining area, dirty pool, dirty lounge chairs in pool area, vendors harassing when sitting beach side, no assistance with luggage upon arrival l, insects/ants/roaches in hotel room

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.

Fish for dinner? Delicious! Eggs and rolls for breakfast? Running and stale! Cocktails? Excellent!

Beautiful place
VickiB
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.
Verified traveler
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.

Hors saison très calme
La première (mauvaise) surprise est que j'ai dû rester une nuit à Cartagena parce que je suis arrivé trop tard, la dernière liaison pour l'île (un bateau qui amène et ramène les clients) est à 17h00, dernière limite (en fait, c'est plutôt 16h30).
Si vous êtes habitué a bien manger, c'est assez difficile d'être satisfait des menus proposés. Le personnel est très très sympa (mais vraiment !), mais ils n'ont pas le sens du détail. Je n'ai pas le droit de me plaindre, vu le prix très avantageux hors saison, mais il est certain qu'ils peuvent attirer plus de clientèle haute gamme s'ils font l'effort de proposer une cuisine un peu plus raffinée et bien présenter (lire : \"appétissante\"). Pour ma part, comme je veille très sérieusement sur tout ce que j'avale, ce n'est pas une partie de plaisir...
Le week-end, c'est bondé de monde, et c'est plutôt bruyant ou génial, selon, (musique non-stop jusque tard dans la soirée). Par sécurité, il y a une barrière qui protège l'hôtel la nuit , difficile alors de se baigner à des heures fantastiques...dommages. La mer est si chaude est agréable. Quelques petites lanternes la nuit pourrait bien faire la différence, même hors saison.
Pour visiter Cartagena, il y a un bateau qui part vers 08h30. Les trajets aller-retour (1 par jour) sont inclus dans le prix.
Je reviendrai sans doute à cet endroit, hors saison (car je suppose que c'est bondé en haute saison), rien pour retrouver les visages souriants qui m'ont beaucoup plu.

A very dangerous area where we were told not to leave. No hot water and the food had zero variety
Gustavo
Very friendly staff. Wonderful experience and amazing beach. Its a remote island having groups from the mainland join you during the day for fun and have a relaxing beach to yourself in the evening. You just need to be aware of the boat rides to/from the island in case you want to visit attractions on the mainland. My family loved it and would like to visit again.
Verified traveler
This place felt like a hidden paradise! Even tho it is only a minutes away from Cartagena, it is a very quite place, perfect to just relax and enjoy the moment. All stuff was super helpful and nice. Even tho cleaning lady never came to clean ( in 5 days ) I would definitely come back to this beautiful spot. Muchisimas gracias por todo!
Cs
Great place to rest. The island makes a huge difference to relax and enjoy.
Kristine
Staff was very friendly. Very little English spoken, but we all managed. Beach was lovely. The pool was clean and well maintained. The rooms could use some updating but they were clean. Food was good and reasonably priced. Free boat ride back and forth was great to have. We enjoyed the beautiful view of Bocagrande especially when the sun started to set.
Danny
Good hotel resort for the price I would come back I would take points off for the mystery of the WiFi code that they won’t give you and the WiFi strength isn’t good as other hotels in cartagena and the prices vary when you order they don’t ever know the price untill check out ... but overall I good place to stay I recommend it also visit playa Blanca ( white sands beach) but don’t take a boat with 1 motor it’s dangerous and locals will tell you different prices to get there so I recommend getting a boat from boca grande !
Paul
Would you stay at a \"hotel\" that:
Has pee green pool water?
Has boney, hungry dogs begging at your feet while you eat?
Is overgrown with weeds and unkept grounds?
Has no hot water in your room?
Has bees, ants and lizards in your room?
Has broken balcony tiles and railings\"
Has a beach cluttered with beer cans and other trash?
Has a warning against walking outside the grounds?
To name a few.

Great getaway
This was a very inexpensive hotel on an Island with its own beach and a pool. There are no roads or cars. The employees could not have been more friendlier, helpful, and just all and alll fantastic! The on site restaurant had really good food and was unbelievably reasonable. If your looking for an “old school” type getaway that’s off the grid and not fancy this is the place.

Beautiful Spring Break
My children's first time to Colombia. We loved the resort and loved the staff! Definitely would stay again!
Sigrid
Nice relaxing place to escape the city bustle.
We were pleasantly surprised to find out there is a free hotel boat shuttle that picks you up in Boca Grande.The grounds are large and well kept and staff are very nice. The food is fresh and there is a well stocked bar, although a bit pricey I thought. Our room was quite large but not even a small table to put things on. We had to cut fruit in the bathroom. This would be an easy fix. This place would be good for families, couples or anyone looking for a few days of quiet.

The place grew on us
When we first got off the boat and walked in we thought we made a big mistake. But decided to rough it out. By the 3rd day we felt there was no place in Colombia that we would rather be. We saw the other review and had we listened to what we read we wouldn't have had this amazing opportunity. They mentioned the dogs, we'll let me tell you my amazing story about those wonderful dogs ! I woke up one morning around 4:30 am and decided to go lay in the hammock. As I entered the court yard about 6 or 7 little \"mutt\" dogs all woke up and couldn't wait to play. With their tails waging they were the most friendly and playful dogs I have every encountered in my life. During the heat of the day, they lay around as most lazy dogs do but before the sun comes up, this is their time to play.
The greatest part of this experience was while you lay on the hammock, 2 or 3 of them get on their back under you and put their feet up as if to massage you. This went on for over an hour only to be interupted by the occasional local walking by the compound all 7 dogs would run to the fence and bark ferociously to protect their property, then return to my massage. This made me feel my family was extra safe sleeping here at night being protected by these mutts. Some times in life the best experiences happen when you least expect them and you actually spend enough time outside of your comfort zone to allow the experience of cultures different from what you conceder normal :)
Move the roosters !

Basic getaway...a little remote
This is a stay if you want to be away from Cartagena or Boca Grande...you have to take a boat shuttle to get here. No English is spoken but Alice is kind and helpful. There is no place to visit when your out here, they do prepare a dinner for you for a extra $25,000 per person which is a little over priced for a basic meal but it was good...pork or chicken or carne. 1 or 2 nights is plenty. The walls are thin, some guy was watching TV until 4am so I didnt sleep so good that night.

Nightmare Hotel
We booked here not expecting much since only $42 a night, just wanted to get out of the city for a day without a tour. Planned to take hotel water taxi from Boca Grande and just use hotel beach and pool and not stay the night. Little boat picked us up on time, nice staff. As soon as we docked, we knew it was a mistake. Beach had garbage on it. Walked into hotel grounds - there were old rusty boats on the lawn, mangy dogs walking around, it just looked like a bad movie. Staff was super nice though. Showed us to 'room' which was just 2 beds and a TV hanging from ceiling. Went back outside, only 2 other guests who looked miserable by the dingy pool. It was just sad. We asked if they could take us back to Cartagena and there was much discussion and a lengthy phone call until we said we didn't want money back, then they were all too happy to whisk us back off the island. You get what you pay for, I understand that, but we just thought we'd have access to a decent beach & pool but not even that. I feel sorry for anyone who actually stays here.

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.

No lo recomiendo!!!!!
El lugar en donde se encuentra ubicado el hotel a nivel de playa es muy bonito, pero en cuanto el hotel no cuenta con un servicio constante de limpieza en las habitaciones, tuvimos un percance de salud a media noche y no cuenta con una unidad de primeros auxilios ni con transporte inmediato para transado de tierra bomba a cartagena. Con respecto a la comida no es muy buena... no recomiendo este hotel para servicio de hospedaje. Para disfrutar de las hermosas playas y vista del lugar es preferible tomar el servicio de pasadia
Johanna
Experiencia en Palmarito
El personal del hotel es amable y la comida es buena. Las instalaciones son agradables y se siente mucha tranquilidad; sin embargo, observamos un par de roedores en el techo y el personal de las lanchas es muy poco amable y nos hizo retrasar para el vuelo de regreso. No hay un coordinador o supervisor sobre el personal por lo que no hubo soluciones a nuestros inconvenientes.
