Villa del Palmar Beach Resort & Spa, Puerto Vallarta - 48333 Puerto Vallarta

Staff was exceptional, we were on the accommodation plan only and the free breakfast each morning was awesome! Fun activities, day and night, and good location. Walking distance to plenty of restaurants and short cab rides to Romantic Zone. It's unbelievable how many beach and pool chairs are taken by 6 am! Does nobody sleep at this resort?

There were highs and lows to our stay which I will elaborate on, but overall it was satisfactory. The benefits were friendly staff, good beach access, and cleanliness. My friend and I went for the all-inclusive package, which I regret in hindsight as I didn't enjoy a single meal. You can get much more delicious food far more inexpensively if you take a taxi downtown. The acoustics of the building we stayed in (the main building) made it seem noisy at times even at night. But I wonder if this would be different in the other buildings as they didn't seem as open-air. The most disatisfactory experience that caused a fair amount of stress was the on-site covid testing. My friend and I tried for three days to schedule one, but everyone kept sending us to someone else to get scheduled. Finally, we got it figured out, but we weren't offered different times, but were assigned one at a very inconvenient hour. On top of that, our results were never sent to us and the concierge had closed with our flight being the next day. Fortunately, the front desk happened to have copies of our negative test results. Not sure I would stay here again, but I wouldn't be opposed to it either. I just wouldn't get the all- inclusive package.

We were at your beautiful resort for two weeks, and I can tell you it was a wonderful experience from the day we arrived to the very last day. We did not chose the “all-inclusive” as my partner wanted to explore the beauty of Puerto Vallarta. All your staff was forever welcoming, warm and willing to be of assistance. Tania is an outstanding employee at the Concierge desk. Kudos for her excellent customer service; she was a warm breath of air; nothing “fake” about her. Thank you for such a wonderful experience at your resort!

We spent 6 days here over the holidays and had such a nice time. The staff was so nice and the food at the restaurants inside the resort were very good. We did not have all inclusive as we wanted to get out and explore some local restaurants too. We had the junior suite which was the perfect size and had a small kitchen and fridge. My only warning is that if you like to sleep in, the mornings can be a little loud with the cleaning carts rolling through since everything echos. I brought ear plugs and was happy I did since I'm a light sleeper. If you can't find a chair to sit on the beach directly in front of the hotel, there is plenty of beach space and a guy will rent you an umbrella all day for like $5. We bought a beach blanket and had our umbrella and that was great for us. Overall, I just really liked the vibe and can't wait to go back.

This hotel is a great place for families for extended stays. All personnel was kind and easy to talk to. They have an excellent repertory for a fun time for all ages. The only thing that I wish they do was to accept cash. All restaurants and snack bars only accept cards or are charged to the room. Also, watch out, the tip is already included in the bill. Although, it’s always nice to give little something to the waiters.

Loved the decor, very unique. Clean and well stocked kitchenette. Decent sized pool and beach area and it was nice to be right across from the Food Park. They will set you up with beach chairs and an umbrella for free. Pro-tip: ask for 4 towels so you have a head rest ;) Wish we had gotten all inclusive as the food was great. Armando, who took our bags was splendid to talk to and was so helpful. Will definitely stay here again in the future.

Overall a great experience. Huge thanks to Brayan serving by the pools/beach on several of the days. He was so friendly and ensured great service. I really liked the variety of pools and locations throughout the resort. The main, central pool seems like a perfect hub for families, while the other two pools stayed quieter and more adult-only (though I don't think they were strictly adult-only by any rule). Prices are fair, accessibility to the surrounding areas was easy, cleanliness and landscape were well-kept, and the grounds offer plenty of space and activities for all ages. My one complaint was that the hours of the food options were slightly difficult and did not always align with our needs during our stay. The quality was good, but perhaps another coffee shop or quick bites place would be beneficial. The service was slow at the food spots, which was fine, but if you are in a hurry I suggest looking for a different place for things like coffee and snacks. We were glad we did not do the all-inclusive option.

Our stay has been so awesome. We did the all inclusive which for us was so worth it. Some people like to eat at the places around but we loved being able to stay on the resort & not worry about anything:) Our concierge Julio was super great. We did the presentation at Flamingos with Daniela, who was wonderful. It’s a 90 minute presentation BUT from the moment you come downstairs, take the taxi, the tour, then a taxi back was about 3.5-4 hours, so you have to decide if the freebies are worth it or not, for us it was:) we did not end up buying anything and they were perfectly nice & fine with it. The drinks are strong and service is great. Room service is fast :) the private beach is about 50 yards and each night they have theme nights. The Mexican Party was a lot of fun to watch & they do have daily activities. It’s not a party place, is very family friendly, and chill. 5 minutes from downtown & very well priced. The food is good! It’s not amazing but it is really good :) would recommend! :)
