3.5 stars is what I would give Palmar. This resort is an older one; however, if you don't get a room that is overly dusty and moldy smelling, it will make your trip much more enjoyable. The resort is much better for families--they have a great pool staff that will keep families entertained. We liked the free stand-up paddle surfing... More

Just returned from a week at the Villa del Palmar. Overall great trip with the wife and two kids. This place is really starting to show its age but works fine for the price. Some work going on at the upper pool - fun waterslide. We did the all-inclusive for 4 days and it was well worth it. Food at... More

Stayed in a one bedroom 12/24/11 - 12/31/11 on the ground floor. Very nice access to good pool area - the upper pool is much more quiet by the way. We were in building 3 so we did not have a very good view, Building 1 is the best for ocean view. Overall it was a very nice facility. Rooms... More

We stayed here 12/17-12/24 2011. Had a HUGE 3 bedroom, 3 bath unit we found on VRBO.com. Room service was amazing! Prices were not bad at all. Had no problem with the resort or any of the services. We asked to have the hot tub cleaned and they were up with in the hour and cleaned then refilled it. Beds... More

Staying at the Villa del Palmar was great once we got past the heavy push on attending the timeshare breakfast. Nice beach ... good for walking, nice view of the arch about 15 minutes walk down the beach. Pool side service was good, very friendly staff. Suggest that those who like a quieter pool experience get a chair up at... More

I'll start with the good: -nice view of the arch -tennis courts Not so good: -food is not very good. in fact, it's bad. can get by at breakfast buffet but for lunch only option is a la carte and it's very monotonous with the same short menu every day of pizza, sandwiches, tacos/fajitas. I don't know how they get... More

We stayed at Villa del Palmar over the New Years weekend. Once the unpleasantness of the timeshare preso was over, we had a great few days. There are two large swimming pools, including an adults-only pool where the restriction is actually enforced, and two or three smaller pools or jacuzzis, including one that is incongruously located in the beachfront Italian...

We have no idea why anyone had a bad review. We just came back from a one week fabulous vacation at Villa Del Palmar. We had a one bedroom suite which was perfect for us and our 6 & y year old kids. The rooms were very clean and Delfina ensured our room stayed that way (Gracias Delfina!). There was... More
