This is the perfect property if you’re looking to stay on the resort. Somewhat remote, but gorgeous scenery. No waves in the bay, walk right from the pool to the ocean. Snorkeling right from the beach. Nice hikes, very easily accessible. Water aerobics at noon was a fun highlight. There are always activities, if that interests you. The gold course is pristine, but highly overpriced, for guest and members alike. Housekeeping and the groundskeepers were phenomenal. Poolside and beachside food is wonderful.

Excellent resort. Staff top notch. Room clean and spacious. Grounds great. Golf course amazing. Food good and plentiful.

Draw back - tip culture. Supposed to be tip inclusive, but you are encouraged to tip above and beyond - which we did, but felt compelled.

Also, pricing seems excessive on restaurants. All inclusive covers majority, but you are getting stadium pricing. There’s no competition to find better pricing, so it is what it is.

Bottom line - we will be back, just know what to expect and enjoy the resort.

We had a huge private covered patio, living room, separate bedroom with bath, 1/2 bath, dishwasher, and clothes washer/dryer. The staff is very helpful and friendly. This is definitely the nicest hotel in Loreto, and we have stayed in a few others. You will not be disappointed, highly recommended.

Great place for my gf and I. We celebrated her 40th birthday and we just wanted to relax and have good weather, with a nice vibe. This was perfect! The only thing we didn’t like was the lack of food options. The nicer restaurant- Danzante - was worth the extra price, as it was a great restaurant for anywhere In the world, let alone a resort. All inclusive was a good value, even without me drinking. Also, the back 9 was out of commission on the golf course because of re-seeding, so that was a bummer, but it’s a wonderful course with great staff. The service was amazing and attentive the whole time! We can’t wait to go back.

Wry nice place for the area. But there are far more impressive all-inclusive resorts in the Riviera Maya area that would make the effort to visit over this property.
The All-inclusive option is a bit cumbersome. You still have to sign checks which all ask for additional tip and it took us forever to get a ticket brought on several occatiins

Beautiful but could be better.

The resort and bay were beautiful. Staff and other guests were kind and friendly. Wish we could have eaten at the Clubhouse but had a party of 8 and the online booking is not friendly to that group size. Regarding bills, I understand the need to keep track of food and beverage but the need to sign for everything with the all inclusive plan takes away from the overall experience.

We really enjoyed our trip to Loreto and to the VDP. This was our first time here and we spent NYE/NY here in a 2bd suite. The food here is absolutely incredible; the best I’ve had at an all inclusive resort (competes with Pueblo Bonito’s Sunset in Cabo). Shout out to Josue at Casa Mia and Jose at the Pool. These servers were delightful and treated us SO well; we loved the attention from them on our vacation. The hikes around the property are good- but fairly strenuous- especially if you’re hiking up to Hole 17 which overlooks the ocean. The rooms do show wear but are spacious. My only gripe is that the mattresses aren’t comfortable and should be replaced. Be sure to make reservations Ahead of time (pre vacation arrival) via Open table for Danzante restaurant, Casa Mia and Casa Club, otherwise you may not be eating here and/or you’ll be eating at 9-10pm. I wish I knew this ahead of time. IMO, the food is best at Casa Mia and the Pool. The buffet is so-so and truthfully, I’d skip Casa Club. Note- the suites state you can do a late checkout, however, when I asked about it, the front desk told me No, bc it was high season and couldn’t accommodate it. While I understand this, I don’t think it’s right to advertise it (esp for the high price of accommodations) if it’s something that’s not offered. We also enjoyed the Spa for massages facials. I really enjoyed Pilar’s services; she did an incredible job with both services and I was so relaxed and truly enjoyed it!

I’ve read a lot of reviews about Villa del Palmar and some people really enjoy staying which I can see because it is a beautiful location and resort. However, there is more about this resort I don’t like and will not be returning. They try to sell you a time share and can be very pushy, I’m here for a vacation not a sales pitch. I bought the all inclusive that even the property admitted when we said something is not actually all inclusive, it’s a meal plan. So you have to pay for coffee in morning, if you enjoy coffee, if you want to go to “special” shows and dinner you have to pay more, they have no complementary shuttles to the airport. In addition, check out is 11 and they do not allow you to continue to enjoy the amenities while waiting for the shuttle, they start to charge you for everything to include water. For me, if a resort states it’s a premium all inclusive I expect that the little things that make it feel special will be included, this resort falls short of that. In addition, this is a family resort and I expected children of all ages to there what I didn’t expect was them running around like they were literally wild with no adult supervision. The staff did not stop them, within 10 minutes of checking in and sitting down at the beach bar we had children throwing sand getting it in our hair and food. Again, I expected children but I also paid for a vacation and expected there to be some respect for others at the resort. Not our cup of tea but maybe yours.

This fancy resort is great but not perfect. The staff is amazing but we got a little subpar treatment once we decided not to sign up for their resort membership (maybe this was a coincidence?). The resort is 35 mins from the town of Loreto. A complimentary shuttle to town would have been nice once you and the family exhaust the activities there. Otherwise it was probably the nicest place we have ever stayed at.

The property is a gem due to the rustic beauty and lack of surrounding development. The service was slow but friendly. The splash pool and beach are perfect for young families.

This was our first time to the Islands of Loreto and we will be back! You don’t need to leave, after the 30 min drive from the airport. This is the only resort around. They are building condos/houses but we never heard anything. We had our 2 and 4 year old kids with us, they loved it! Sherlyn at kids club is the best! The grounds are immaculate, cactuses and palm trees everywhere and so well maintained. The food (for an all inclusive) is delicious! Oscar at the pool bar is excellent! Go the all inclusive route (we did) as the prices are $$$ if you don’t.The staff at all the restaurants (Market -breakfast, Pool Bar -lunch, Clubhouse/Market/Casa Mia-dinner) are so friendly and want to make your stay the best it can be! The beach is so shallow (knee deep for a long way), great for kids, walking, etc. We took a paddle board and kayak out one day with our kids and it was so fun going to the little beaches. The weather wasn’t the greatest for our week there, we didn’t try snorkelling. They have 9.5km of trails all around the property, we went to viewpoint #3, with our kids, apparently you can see the whales from certain areas (when they come in a few weeks). Hole #17 at Danzante Bay Golf Course is breathtaking! You can go for a tour to their signature hole, ask at the Golf Desk. We didn’t golf, cus we had the kids, but next time we go we will! Manuel, one of the caddy’s, is so friendly and professional! Any golfers dream to golf at that course! Rooms are very clean and spacious.

Terrible service

Let me start with the positives. The property is beautiful and secluded.
Coming to the negatives, the overall service of the front desk and room service etc was abysmal. I am not usually the type who posts a feedback or complains , but the service at this place got onto my nerves. Any request that was made to the front desk took 3+ hours. Room service for our orders were sent wrong multiple times. While we were checking out they messed up the bill and added an additional charge of 200$ (for what?!) which took almost 45 mins to rectify causing us to almost miss our flight. I wouldn’t recommend this place to any of my family/friends and would never be returning there myself.

Greedy hotel but has potential

We stayed for 3 days and didn’t do all inclusive. Everything was very expensive. The food was good, but not amazing. Staff was very friendly and the pools were excellent.

We asked for ice 5 times during our 3-day stay and never got it. We tried buying it and they wouldn’t sell it because we had to get it from room service.

The hotel is not close to anything so you have to drive about 45 minutes or just stay in the property. We wanted to take a little boat tour (not through the hotel) and found out there is no ATM so doing anything on your own is hard.

We had a cheap little coffee pack. We used it and it never got re-stocked. Neither did the water. We didn’t think it was too much to just give us coffee….

We love Loreto and this hotel has a ton of potential if they pay more attention to the details.
