This was our second stay here at Villas del Palmar Flamingos. As always the room was spotless clean at arrival and during the stay. The staff and bell boys are always so kind and very helpful throughout our stay. Very family friendly place. I will always recommend this place and will be booking our future stays in PV here ❤️✨

I am rating too low because they did NOT give me the deposit back yet. It’s been over a month I am still waiting for any good response from the hotel.
The hotel is nice but the staff is not helping with the deposit back. In most of hotels take $100.00 dls and in this hotel $7,000.00 pesos

The grounds and property are very nice especially the pool area. The included breakfast buffet was really amazing. Everything you could want. The staff is generally very attentive and every evening they delivered a dessert complimentary to our room. The property was maybe 20% occupancy during our stay. The main downside was the high pressure sales pitch that you are forced into the day you arrive. They told us our room wasn’t ready and that a man would “review the property and services with us”. That was for about 2 minutes of a 25 minute pitch to try to get us to attend an “informative membership presentation” the next morning. They offered discounts for the restaurants, a discounted tour, 15 free drinks and even bottles of liquor. We had no interest, but he persisted. Later even offering a free tour. He was unhappy with our rejection which made us both a bit uncomfortable if the staff was unhappy with us. Of course our room was ready after the pitch. This seems mandatory so please expect this sales pitch. Also, the exchange rate was VERY LOW at the hotel and they tried to force us to use taxis (double the cost vs. Uber). We wish we knew this before arriving and may have played a role in our decision to stay here.

There was a $500 resort discount voucher included in my reservation. The vouchers were useless. There was $80 worth of vouchers that were for \"upgrade room\". There is no point of an \"upgrade room\" voucher when you have already paid for the room and these vouchers are given after the fact.

We absolutely love staying at Villa del Palmar! The resort's location right on the ocean is unbeatable, and most of the rooms offer stunning ocean views. We had an amazing balcony with comfortable outdoor seating, perfect for relaxing and taking in the scenery. The rooms are spacious with cozy beds, and the pool area is both beautiful and expansive, featuring plenty of comfortable lounge chairs. One of our favorite things is enjoying the ocean view while swimming in the pool. The pool staff is especially friendly and attentive—there’s always someone nearby to take your drink order.

This was our second stay at Villa del Palmar, and we definitely plan to return. However, we did experience a few issues during this visit. Our room wasn’t as clean as expected upon arrival; we found some leftover food and debris on the floor, and the balcony furniture, bedside table, and desk were quite dusty. I ended up cleaning and sanitizing the space before we unpacked. Additionally, one of the recessed lights in our room was flickering. We reported it to the front desk the next morning, but unfortunately, it wasn’t addressed during our stay. On our last full day, we also didn’t receive fresh towels and had to track down a housekeeper, who was not very friendly.

Despite these inconveniences, the beauty of the resort and the overall experience still made our stay enjoyable. We’re hopeful that these were isolated issues, and we’re looking forward to coming back again soon!

Room was great, provided with the bottle of wine as listed VIP, however, did not honor free breakfast, they tried to get in to a as talk for Time share to get it. If you do not choose all inclusive or go to the talk for time share, they treat you a bit bitter. As part of VIP we had 10 percent discount, but had to basically fight to get it, because they do not apply it. Beach and pool are great.

Many things to like about the property. Rooms are wonderful and clean, housekeeping was amazing and location is good. Only issue was the staff was not very friendly, the $75 day spa credit was a joke (you can only use credit from 4 to 7pm and massages started at $230) and they are a little too pushy about the timeshare option.

I was treated absolutely awfully upon my check-in. They said I didn’t have a booking. I had to wait for one hour at such a late hour of the night when I was so tired and just wanted to get to my room. An Expedia chat worker had to call the resort several times to get me to my room eventually.

Since my time here I have been gouged. They keep adding extra costs onto every time I order food or drinks. They make mistakes on my bill and try to add extra costs on. The service has been terrible and the drinks are awful. I am definitely not happy and I really wish I did not pick this property And I didn’t even get the property that I actually chose.

I’m hoping you can look into what you can do because I have a lot of extra charges now with being here and the staff just ignores me and they don’t really speak English very well.

Please I hope you can help. Thank you.So

We liked that everything was close due to the size of the facility, the pool was large and relaxing and it was a short hop to dive into the ocean. The ocean view from our balcony allowed us to watch dolphins and whales swimming across the Bay, that was very cool.
The staff were very friendly, however they were uninformed when it came to the discount promotions we were offered. We found ourselves walking back and forth from the restaurants to the front desk trying to get clarification.
The reward for going to the Ownership Presentation was certificates amounting to $150 US dollars, but all pricing at the restaurants was in pesos. The posted exchange rate was a little over 18 pesos/$ which should have made a $50 certificate worth 900 pesos, the waiters were adamant that the certs were worth 800 pesos. We were told we could use them all over the property but that turned out to be limited.
My wife very much enjoyed her spa treatments

Nice clean quiet resort. Activities staff was great! Dining options were not great. If you’re not all inclusive there’s not much to choose from besides pool or room service. No breakfast menu restaurant- only buffet. The theme night shows are tied into paying for a buffet. Not informed about that and had already ate dinner so no shows for us. The elevator near our room was broken. Mom had a long walk to go anywhere.

Our stay started with a tour for membership. The representative they gave us the tour whose name is Ulysses was incredibly mean, disrespectful, and insulting, not only to me, but especially my wife. Called us fools and idiots. After this, we had to spend the next four days at a resort that made us feel like they hated us. Completely terrible experience and although I’ve stayed there three times before I will never be coming back. This hotel experience was very poor from all aspects. Some of the staff was nice to us, but overall they seem to be an angry group. On top of that the food was incredibly disappointing and did not match any of the food that we had off of premises. Again terrible experience and would not do it again. Kym Lewin.

The resort itself is okay. But checking in was an absolute nightmare. Someone with the resort told us to check out of our other resort next door early and they would get us in early… we got there at 9:30 am and they kept giving us a different time that our room would be ready. We didn’t get into our room until 4:30pm. Just to find out that they put us until a room with two double beds instead of one king sized bed like I paid for. For the amount of money I paid to stay here, I am extremely disappointed.

Beautiful resort with bad service

The resort is beautiful, clean. Beach was excellent. Check in was a nightmare. Our reservation said free breakfast, which we had to prove and sent emails to the management. Then the price of payment. We were supposed to have free bottle of wine and free massage. They said you have to request it. 3 days later and six requests we have received the bottle of wine. It became a game for us. When we went to claim the massage they said yes, massage is free but it will be a $50 service charge. We didn’t even bother fighting the room we booked. Too much work and hassle. We fought breakfast two mornings in row. I wouldn’t stay here again.

Fix a few things and it's a 5 star rating

My low overall rating is based on 2 things:
1. It's an ABSOLUTE pain that people are allowed to put towels on both pool and beach chairs early in the morning tying the chairs up all day but the chairs themselves may be tied up for only 1, 2 maybe 3 hours of the day. I encourage you to figure out a system to eliminate this. Ruins the experience for those who don't show those selfish traits.
2. The new procedure of opening up reservations at 1PM penalizes those who don't hang around the resort all day. If you're out doing activities for the day, even when you get back by 2PM - the only reservations available tend to be 9PM.

Wonderful property, great service overall

All wonderful except:
1-Zumba in the morning was way too loud!
2- The 10% discount on food & drink and the breakfast included (part of our purchased stay on Hotels.com) was a constant hassle because staff did not acknowledge it - management had to be brought in each time and they validated it - but with much wasted time for all. You should eliminate this, or simply provide a card or vouchers so the staff know, and it will then be easy for everybody.
Beautiful property, wonderful food and service - THANK YOU!

Very disorganized at front desk with regards to specific questions and replies. Very hard core aggressive time share salespeople. Breakfast is not relaxing as most tables are attended by salesmen. Unless you’re a constant tipper, good luck getting something done. I got locked out outside of the patio one night. It was a frightening experience. Patio door malfunctioned. Although, was given a glass of wine for free to ease my anxiety. Lounge chairs are hoarded by most time share owners and tough to find one if you’re a guest by 9:00 am. Sometimes, they don’t even use the chairs. Staff knows who are huge extra tippers and who aren’t, so good luck getting anything with a smile. I noticed the change when I started tipping EXTRA. Tips have been charged, but one can tip extra. A guest is not informed about all that’s included in one’s package until the guest gets spits of info here and there from people. I’m sure as a time share member, my opinion is invalidated. Such a nice Resort, but run like no one knows what they’re doing, unless you’re a big EXTRA tipper. But, it is México after all. I can understand.

Not only did we get checked-in late because resort was understaffed, but I was double-charged for my stay as well. I ALWAYS pay in advance with Expedia but when we got checked-in, they ran my credit card a second time without telling me what it was for. I assumed it was for incidentals but once I returned, I noticed two different charges from the same hotel. I reported/disputed it with my cc but the resort came back saying they didn't have a record of my original payment. I tried contacting them via Expedia messaging and over the phone, but they never followed up. This type of service is NOT what you'd expect from this type of \"resort\".

I rate this place 3 out of 10. Hortencia at the front desk was extremely kind and patient. We checked in on Christmas Day only to be told that we did not pay for the “all inclusive”. However, I specifically searched for all inclusive hotels which is how we came about in choosing this resort. The family and I had been traveling since 2am, so we were extremely tired and hungry checked in about 3-4pm. Hortencia tried calling Travelocity but no one answered so we ended up paying for “all inclusive” yet again. Reason I’m rating this hotel so poorly is because of room issues. 1. The phone did not work, it took 3 x of us complaining before it got fixed. The first time we complained they sent someone, he came and said they would need to replace the phone and never came back. 2. The bathroom fan did not work, there was a leak under the sink that soaked a bunch of our toiletries. We had to put towels down to try and catch some of the water that seemed to slowly pour out from under the sink and between the wall, but not sure exact location but towels were extremely soaked by the am - the leak never got fixed. 3. Two out of the 6 days we stayed at this hotel towels had blood stains, we complained they brought new ones - also, we were a family of 4 and sometimes we would only have 3 sets of towels, so having to call for an extra set was extremely annoying. Oh, the pool area. Towels were sometimes hard to come by. There never seemed to be enough chairs for everyone but we made it work.

We stayed for five nights during 2023 Christmas season. I would give ZERO stars if I could!!! We had booked a room with two queen beds, however, we were given a room with one bed and a sofa. Many people were smoking close to our patio and we couldn't use patio at all. There was frequent drilling noise above our room throughout our stay. On our second night, there was loud music from reception till 1am at night and we could not sleep at all. Customer service did not exist in most of our interactions. For example, when we went to La Trattoria restaurant, the waitress rudely said \"There is no room FOR YOU\". There are no vegetarian options at all in room service. If you are a vegetarian, good luck finding any decent choices. The whole place was super crowded and noisy. Overall, a terrible experience! We will NEVER stay here again!!

5 days of my stay at the pool during the cleaning process, the water was not clean, the HOT Tub water was cold and the jets were not working /it was fixed after 5 days/I was leaving that day. I asked the service desk 2 times and other people also asked...nothing was done for 5 days of my stay, and no shampoo was delivered for 2 days. I was promised on the 1st day to get a massage and spa service with a discount but never did. Just do not promise if you are unable to keep the promise...The servers at the pool area, bell person, and restaurant were outstanding. If you came to us, not a member you just received bad service, water drinks, etc. I see the difference because I am a member but this time I was just the tourist staying in the hotel paying the price comparable to other 4.5-5-star hotels. I got the treatment of 2-3 stars....It wasn't right

The pool was unsafe to swim and from what we are hearing this has been an on going problem . The water was green due to Algae as the pumps were not working and it’s been like that for a few months now. There is absolutely no entertainment and the hotel pretty well is a ghost town at 8:30 at night. You would think Expedia would stop sending people to a resort like this due to water problems. We were at this resort for 10 days and not once were we in the pool . People were finding themselves with flu like symptoms because of the water conditions that they decided to swim in .

The check in was very slow the fellow checking us in didn’t have our proper information as per our reservation. He had our visa but for some reason, put our info on MasterCard which we don’t have. The accounting dept must have figured out the problem. We ordered our first drink it was shown that we hadn’t even checked in given a room number. Absolutely bizarre. Another staff member helped us get through the situation!!
On another note, they are short on towels for the beach chairs. And, it’s not even high season yet !!
There was a fire in the main kitchen one night where apparently their recyclables caught on fire. Smoke was everywhere . We were all kept out of our rooms for a few hours but no one came knocking on doors advising there was a problem. We fortunately were out for dinner that night came back to chaos !! The Villa Group never sent out any communication as to what had happened which is not good or an apology.

Villa Del Palmar has been a favorite destination of ours for 20 years. The staff are the best!! Always quick to help and with a friendly smile. Many of them are like close friends. We look forward to seeing Agustine at the pool, Antonio and Louis always make us feel at home when they greet us at the front.
Our only complaint was the condition of the resort was not as clean as years past. The pool was so cloudy, I would not put my head under water it was bad! I informed them several times. It was not fixed the whole 8 days we were there. The sidewalks around the pool did not look like they were being washed regularly.
Having said that, we are planning on returning in the spring. Hopefully these were just temporary issues.
