Well first off the property was beautiful. Very old but well maintained and the landscape was lush! It felt like you were somewhere very tropical and not in the dry desert of Cabo.

This was our first stay in a 5 star resort . I wasn’t sure what to expect but I do think I had high expectations due to reviews and the price.

The service was ok. There were a few times where I asked for simple things not on the menu and was told they couldn’t do it. But then they said they would talk to the chef (for a bowl of mixed berries and shrimp cervice’) .., and came back saying that they would make an exception and that is was a special treat to be able to get something off the menu. We have stayed at many resorts and have always been easily able to make a substitution. Not sure if they just wanted you to think they were going above and beyond but it was odd. Again.., expected more!

Our butler was often very slow to get back to us with small requests like ice or different mini bar beverages. Would have been happy to have just been able to get my own ice and have it when I wanted it. Turn down service was nice but again a little weird in that they folded our dirty clothes and rearranged our toiletries. Maybe that’s the 5 star part!? Not necessary for us personally.
Pools were underwhelming, very deep and old. Many chipped and missing tiles. Gym was great but small… luckily not many people working out so basically had to ourselves. Over all not impressed for the cost. 😔

The breakfast only included option was perfect (and delicious), allowing us to explore off the resort for dinner if we wanted to. A special shout out to Ivan and Sebastian for exceptional customer service. Worth every penny spent. We hope to return soon!

Stunning views; beautiful, walkable beaches; property grounds are lush and romantic; rooms are spacious and impeccably furnished. The ambience throughout the resort is quiet and elevated. The staff is service oriented and attentive. The experience here is very memorable and special. Be prepared for the high food and drink prices, which are not always justified by the food quality.

This was our 4th time staying at Palmilla and unfortunately the service was not what we had come to expect. Carr staff was slow and the last morning we had breakfast at the adult pool and the staff was abundant but fairly inattentive.

We will probably stay there again but for 2000.00 a night I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect more.

This is a stunningly beautiful property with excellent service. The staff members were kind and extremely attentive, without being even remotely overbearing. Dining at the resort is very nice and is obviously convenient, but it is also very expensive — which isn’t entirely surprising for the high quality of the property. It felt perfectly safe to take a car service or Uber with family into San Jose del Cabo for dinner. There is a great vibe — the art walk — in San Jose del Cabo on Thursday evenings. I would highly recommend this property if it falls within your desired price point.

This property is simply magical and the staff is amazing….so kind, attentive, and happy. Many families have been working at the resort for generations and it shows. We have always been adverse to kids clubs because it felt wrong to send them away inside on a family vacation but my girls, ages 6 and 8, loved it so much. They were wonderful with the kids! They have an activity/craft every hour so for example, they’d make candles at 10 am for an hour while we went to the adult pool, then go back at 3 pm to make piñatas. This resort is a splurge but I would rather stay 3-4 nights here than 8 nights somewhere less expensive. The experience is top notch and worth every penny.

This property is unbelievably unique in that it is surrounded in meticulously lush landscaping in such an otherwise arid environment. It is so beautifully maintained that you feel transported to paradise each time you step out of your room... which is also beautifully appointed. Difficult to say what I don't like about the property but it is likely going to need some cosmetic updates in the coming years.

Beautiful location and some exceptional staff members. Room was fine (dark, leak from shower, older bathroom) but not great compared to Montage or Las Ventanas. Food was generally very good but pricey even based on other similar resorts. Overall, older property with an incredible location, very good service but feeling its age. Also lots of kids (it was spring break), this is a great property for families especially with breakfast included.

This place is a 10 and the service is excellent. If I had to give any feedback, it would be the Fishing trip they arranged was not good and I know Fishing and their is a system where everyone goes to the pool early in the morning to throw magazines and reserve chairs, which I think is not a great policy. But again overall, this place absolutely great.

One of the best vacations we’ve experienced! The minute we stepped on the property they strived to please and serve. One of the friendliest places, immaculate grounds and property and we’ve traveled a lot! The accommodations were exactly as described and views of the Sea of Cortez were phenomenal. We enjoyed the Sear restaurant several times and the waiter offered to show us the kitchen after our meal. That was a sweet surprise, but at every turn there were surprises and sweet gifts given to us. Oh, the spa is amazing! We enjoyed the walkable beach and whale watching from our veranda plus at breakfast each morning. We will definitely go back! In fact, it may become an annual destination for us based on the experience this week. Love this place!!!
