The STAFF make this resort amazing

Morgan K (Henderson, Nevada) on Feb 01, 2025

The staff are what make this resort one of the best. Amazing service. Been here many times and it is wonderful. The quality of staff are the best. Many staff have been there year after year and recognize us. The touch that staff touch their heart is an amazing sign of quality training and expectations.

Villa Del Palmar, Our Home Away from Home in Cabo.

Nelson B (San Francisco, California) on Jan 31, 2025

When we pull up to this resort, the doormen are right there to help us unload and then we stroll into the lobby which is clean, and it's charm still is present even though the building is probably over 30 years old. I like the water accents, the marble and of course, the greeters. I felt the staff was genuinely friendly and interested in making our stay enjoyable by offering us tips on what to do and how to take advantage of discounts. We entered our clean and stylish room, and soon our luggage followed and we changed into our swim suits and headed down to the pool and beach area. The pool staff are young and friendly. We did the pool aerobics and particiated in the poolside bingo. Both a bit corny but we were on vacation so what the heck. We did it often. The waiters are everywhere, both on the beach and aroudn the pool to take our orders and bring us food and drinks. Both the pool are and the beach are super clean; not a speck of trash anywhere. The gardens around the pool are raked daily and the plants are healthy and beautifully full of colors. The green lawn is manicured and the whole picture is out of a vacation postcard. We prefer to sit on the beach on the beds under the palapas instead of by the pool. We engage with the vendors and practice our Spanish. I like to dive into the ocean and float on the the turquoise sea and let it lift me up and down as the gentle waves roll under me. From the beach the view of Land's End is dynamic. Sunsets are often magnificant. All in all it is a great place to relax. We often go into town to try new or old restaurants. The fact that Villa Del Palmar is so close walking distance in fact although we use Uber because it is so cheap; $4 US to ride 8 minutes into the center of town. My wife likes to buy textiles like bed spreads, table clothes, napkins all made by hand and most imported from Guadalaraha. The prices, she says, are much lower then in the US. And of course they are beautiful and we think of our trips when we use them at home. I am looking forward to returning to VDP soon. It has become sort of our home away from home in Cabo.

Wonderful Time; Amazing Service!

jdrosty (Bismarck) on Jan 25, 2025

Family of 3- Had an amazing overall experience at this resort. We would return in a heartbeat! We did all inclusive package; thought it was fantastic. Food and drinks were plentiful. Service was impeccable from all the staff we encountered, so friendly and accommodating....(shout out to Oscar for the 5-star beach service!) We had so many wonderful servers, bartenders, housekeeping, etc. We caught some of the shows in the evening, and they were all very well done; you can tell the staff works very hard to entertain. We also loved the location of this resort; was nice to be able walk along the beach; short cab ride to the marina and mall. The sunset views from the resort were phenomenal. The sand and water were amazing.....it was nice to be in one of the spaces that you could actually swim in the water. The room was spacious, clean, and well appointed. The staff kept our refrigerator stocked with cool drinks, and some snacks too. The pools catered to different groups; depending on what vibe you were looking for. We spent the majority of our time at the "adult" pool, but just steps away was the family-friendly pool, where there were always activities and action. Yes; there is some construction happening....however, it didn't really detract from our experience. We don't understand all the hate and negative comments they are getting for trying to update and beautify. It seemed us that the workers were doing their best to not distract from guest experience. We actually enjoyed the music --never found the volume too extreme. My daughter and I did 50 minute relaxing massages at the spa next door. LOVED this experience, the spa is gorgeous, and the staff there were also fantastic. We can't say enough wonderful things about our time here; I find it hard to believe that anyone wouldn't come away from a stay at Villa del Palmar with nothing but rave reviews!!!

First stop on month long trip in Los Cabos

donaldk16 (Ligonier, Pennsylvania) on Jan 25, 2025

First stop on a month plus get away to Los cabos. Our suite on the fourth floored faced the pool and onto the Sea of Cortez. Lovely views. Place could use a refresh. Impossible to get chairs unless you were out very early in the morning. On a swimmable beach just a short walk to town. Did not do all inclusive. Get groceries from walmart and ate in town and at resort restaurants. Restaurants had delicious selections and were fairly reasonable. They do a show every night. Being here two weeks they were repeated. Two for one happy hour margaritas for $12. Negatives were listening to shows every night. Pool music loud and in repeat with rehearsals for nightly entertainment going on at the same time. The sister resorts next door seemed much quieter and less crowded. .
