My teenage daughters and I had a wonderful and adventurous stay. Friendly and helpful staff. Rooms cleaned daily, amenities plentiful for a nice relaxing stay. Friendly shuttle service roundtrip from airport , on-site car rental for trips into town like Malecón.

Only down was not being able to enjoy a swim in the beautiful ocean water due to JellyFish in the waters. Wasn't aware but this is usual between May-June months

This property is in a fantastic Oceanside location. Our group of 4 stayed for 2 nights in a standard room. We were next to one of the hot tubs and by a gate to the sea. Great food, great drinks and the staff was very helpful. We had a problem with our door lock and it was taken care of within 15 minutes. We would stay here again.

Firstly, I rarely review any business good or bad, but Hotel Palmas de Cortez was simply appalling. When checking in, the woman at the front desk would only cut us one key card for the room for 3 people. She said come back tomorrow if you want more. She was incredibly rude. When we got to the room, it was a dump. We had a Presidential suite and it was anything but! It was so run down and disgusting we went back to the front desk and asked for another room. We were subsequently shown room that was covered in more dust, had dead insects on the window sills, stunk of mold and didn't look as if it had been cleaned in months! We eventually stayed in the original room as we had no choice. We went out and bought cleaning products from the local supermarket and cleaned the room ourselves to where it was livable. Housekeeping only made the bed and folded the used towels. I deliberately left dust on one of the sofa arms to see if housekeeping would wipe it off during the 6 nights we were there - it was not! The overall hotel is tired and desperately in need of a facelift and someone who cares about the property. The restaurants on site were terrible however the staff at least were pleasant and helpful. The pool bar doesn't serve food - you have to get takeout! The gym was disgracefully filthy - couldn't use it! We've stayed at many properties in Mexico, some good, some bad, but nothing like this! The website portrays the hotel as something entirely different to reality. Stay away!

Really nice pool, bar, restaurant and the beach is amazing. 5 star cleanliness. The only issue we had was a 5 day stay with no hot water in the shower. It was reported with no follow up. I would have given 5 stars across the board if they would have taken care of it. If they communicated back with me I would have given the staff 5 stars

Overall the pool area was nice, kid friendly access, grounds were clean. Our room was dirty, mold growing on ceiling of our bathroom, damaged tiles in our bathroom that were jagged and unsafe, room had a very bright television outside of it that lite it up at night. We were moved to a different room the following day which was better. Food menu was kid friendly but pricing was not, expect to pay $75 CDN for family of 4 (breakfast) and dinner was $150 . They need a kids menu option and more affordable options for breaky. Service was great, staff is friendly and helpful. I would not stay here again.

Great location right on the beach. You are really paying for the location. This is a very quiet hotel and community in general located about an hour from Cabo. The restaurants they have offered a variety of options and the staff at the restaurants were very friendly and accommodating. It was a little cooler and windier during spring break than Cancun. The gym was closed during our stay with no alternative options offered. They do suggest a 10 percent gratuity for the entire stay, which seems high. I’d recommend this property for travelers looking to be away from the hustle of Cabo.

We stayed there for a week, and everything was ready and clean when we arrived. Each day, we were given two bottles of water, which was a nice touch. The pool and hot tub area were always clean and well-maintained, and there was never any noise after 10 p.m.—even before that, it was pretty quiet. The best part was being right on the beach with easy access. It made our stay really relaxing.

The property seems as if its hey day has passed. The rooms are ok but there were issues with small bugs. The common areas are somewhat kept up but the small pool in the garden area was never cleaned or operational but it didn't have a sign stating it was closed only staff sayin when asked that it wasn't operational. The rinse shower from the beach is barely operational b/c the handles fall off the valves.
Not having complimentary coffee or a way to get ice for the room seemed cheap.
The inability to charge dining or other items to the room besides the pool bar is inconvenient.

Great hidden gem! Not too busy for such a large resort. Practically had the place all to ourselves. Felt very safe and not too far to explore other places around the area.

I had ants all over my bathroom. I reported it and was told that they would put in a work order. After 3 days i bought a can of bug spray myself and sprayed them'
I paid for a room $230/night with a view, it had a huge marlin on top of a building in front of me. The restaurant had a new manager who was Very arrogant when I met him. Overall I expected the care and service I had the year before, it Didn't. Twice I had the \"make up\" sign on the door and they didn't clean the room.
I will NEVER go there again!!!

We were there for the music festival and it was fantastic. The hotel did a great job of providing the venue for a terrific event. The location of the property is on a beautiful stretch of the beach where we enjoyed a nice early morning walk. On a negative note, our room floor was dirty. I could feel the dirt on my feet as I walked barefoot....very gross! We had breakfast at the hotel restaurant but as the 4 wheel drive vehicles(dune buggies) raced by the property a cloud of dust covered our table and food....I'll probably upgrade to a nicer hotel next time in LB.

Don't be fooled by the response to this review. This hotel is quick to respond to poor reviews as if they care about your stay, but that is not the case. The room was full of an ant/termite type bug? The bed was awful the pillow was a sheet, the food was very expensive and awful. If you want to lay on the beach, you will need to pay 25.00 to rent an umbrella and a chair. I was unable to stay the second night of a four night stay. I communicated to the front desk that I was unable to stay another night and I was told that they would refund the three nights. When Travelocity called the front desk they refused to refund the three nights but did refund two of them. They claimed that we took a tour and used that as an excuse to not refund the three nights. We never took a tour? We were not expecting a 5 star experience but we were not expecting a total disregard for hygiene and such poor customer service?

The entire property was clean and safe. The staff was excellent and helpful. It was close to the center of town and it was nice to be right on the beach

The food and drinks on site were very expensive. I would not purchase food or drinks if I stayed there again. Coffee was $5 each and not great. Free coffee in the morning would have gone a long way in wanting us to visit again. We could have bought a coffee maker and saved money over our 7 day stay.

It’s a little run down in parts, maybe past it’s prime. Also our room was very dark, almost a cave, and when the room above used their bathroom you heard the drains loud and clear. But the staff were all friendly and helpful. And the beachfront setting is quite special, amazing sunsets and sunrises.

My husband, dog and I stayed in Hotel Palmas de Cortez in December 2023. The ground floor room was a little older but very clean and well maintained. The breakfast which was included and made to order (Mexican and North American dishes) was fantastic and the restaurant is right on the beach with outdoor tables on a deck. The front desk, cleaning and restaurant staff were all very friendly and helpful and they were super welcoming to our dog. We were able to walk to great restaurants for dinner along the beach a couple of times and had a glass of wine and a beer at a scenic bar on the water that was associated with the hotel.

We enjoyed a one night stay in early December. The front desk and restaurant staff were very friendly and engaging. Overall the hotel room was very nice and the ocean view was worth the extra cost. The bathroom and overall size of the room was very comfortable. The resort clean and well kept, but certain aspects were dated, and the landscaping lighting at night could really use an upgrade. Much of the service and amenities were closed, as occupancy seemed very low. The front desk provided hours of operation for the restaurants and bars, but then never opened, such as the sushi restaurant we hoped to dine at or the snack bar. We’d stay again.

Sliding patio door didn't latch properly
Shower window didn't lock properly and the window casing was filthy
Deadbolt didn't work
Safe was broken
Refrigerator was broken and smelled like dead fish.
(It was replaced quickly)
Phone wasn't connected
Bedspreads were dirty
No blankets
Pool was greenish brown and had all sorts of trash in it, but we'll cut some slack here due to the weather
There was no back up water source when the town's water source was disrupted. (the front desk clerk did offer us free beach chairs for this inconvenience, but we checked out instead.)
NOBODY would give us a receipt showing we checked out two days early so we could submit this information to Expedia for a refund. I tried three times with three different employees on two different days.
Now I have to spend more of MY time getting a refund.

The staff was extremely efficient and helpful. We got a flat tire on our rental jeep, discovered it overnight. We were missing a tool to replace the spare tire, and their maintenance person appeared promptly with his tool kit and changed the tire with my husband. Just one of many helpful gestures by the staff.

Nice stay at palmas de cortez

Quiet at the hotel mid December. My understanding only about 25 guests in a large property. The hot tub outside of our cluster of units was cold - but there was a functional tub not far away. Beds were quite firm. The cleaning crew did an excellent job with our room. We did not dine on site but the restaurants looked very nice. The hotel is a bit dated, but was generally worth the price. I would stay here again.

The beds are not comfortable, they are old, no mattress protection covers so pretty disgusting. No bottled water in the room for brushing teeth (first time i see that in Mexico). Guests bring their dogs and there is feces beside the side walks on the property. The view from the pool is beautiful, however the pool is not that clean. The food in the restaurant is not very good, i got sick. What i understood from the guests it is a sportfishing hôtel. The rooms are way to expensive. The staff was very friendly. I don't recommend.

Kind of a bomb

The hotel is typical third world—building items unfinished with not much design. We had to insist upon being moved to another room since the first room was dirty. Breakfast was inexpensive but quite nice. Bar was good but pools filter did not work.

We loved the property for the beauty and right on the beach. Beautiful pools. Noisy only because it was spring break. We were mostly upset with the tourists and how sloppy they can be. Not picking up after themselves!
We will definitely be back. Pictures of the property don't do it justice. Way nicer in person.
