Apr 28, 2025Amazing
Was excellent and worth cost. We had avoided all inclusives in the past as we are kind of food snobs. The food was excellent. The room was amazing. The beach was other worldly. Shout out to Alberto, Fernando, and Enrique who went out of their way to provide excellent service at all times. A true 5 star experience.

Unbelievable pampering
We were pampered beyond belief. Alberto, Dan, Jan and Sherim were amazing. The happiest and kindest people we have met. The resort was perfect and the Palafitos Bungalows are beyond imaginable. Now that we have stayed in one, they will be hard to beat!

Extraordinary El Dorado Palafitos experience
We had the absolute best experience EVER at Palafitos. Truly from start to finish, the service of the entire team of people was extraordinary, the was food exquisite, the views were out of this world and if we could afford to come here all the time, we absolutely would. Alfredo and our butlers Aimee and Pilar were so special upon our arrival. We love how friendly everyone is, the beauty of the groundskeeping and landscaping too. It’s out of this world. I’d say the same for our experiences at the el Dorado Royale too.

Relaxing and romantic
What a beautiful place!! Definitely a relaxing experience but still has a little night life to enjoy! From the moment Alberto picks you up, you are treated like royalty! Our butlers, Pilar and Aimee were fantastic and responsive! We would love to come and stay again!!

Second time even better
This was our second time to Palafitos and it did not disappoint. The staff and service are top notch. Add in a picture perfect setting and accommodations, it doesn’t get better than Palafitos. Alberto once again welcomed us with a smile and even helped take care of a room issue. It has been several months since we last visited but Alberto remembered us and even the room number where we stayed in last time! Our favorite server Erik was scheduled to be on room service duty but was able to perform double duties and take care of us while we there. Such great attentive and personal service no matter if we were dining in the restaurant or hanging out on the dock. This willingness to go “above and beyond” and provide such memorable service is why we are already planning our next visit back to Palafitos!
