    Amazing Palifitos Stay!!

    Our trip to Palifitos was incredible! From beginning to end, our visit included safe and glamorous transportation limousine service provided my Lomas Travel. Maroma Beach and our private Palifito privided breathtaking taking views, a nice mix of pure relaxation and adventure! Our private over water hut offered comfort, with the most exquisite accommodations including King size bed, couples soaking spa, indoor and outdoor shower, fully stocked wet bar, including snacks, inviting views of the beautiful ocean with floats, longe chairs, private soaking outdoor pool and even snorkel gear to use as we were literally steps from the beautiful ocean water. None of these accommodations would matter without the incredible staff who go above and beyond at every turn. Our butler’s Janet and Fernando were top notch and by the end of our trip literally feel like family. All our needs and wants met with even some surprises along the way!❤️ They understand the balance of meeting your needs and balancing that with privacy as well. Always a smile and just a message away offering the ease of the what’s app App. Each morning, Randy delivered our coffee and fruit with a smile and fun story! Our rides to snorkeling and around the resort were provided by Alberto who kept us giggling at every turn! More friends who now feel like family!! The restaurants are all top notch and we were spoiled by Felipe many nights! (Limo Limon, Mexican Fiesta, Palifitos restaurant) Miss Patricia met us with smiles each day for our amazing breakfast at Palifitos. Though every single waiter/waitress were top notch!! Above and beyond service every place we went! Oh… and I can’t forget about Francesca and her side kick twin kitty who helped this kitty lover get her kitty fix. Be sure to snorkel, take the sunset cruise, dance at Rick’s Rooftop Bar, swing and play corn hole at the little beach bar, kayak, play pool volley ball! Visit the coffee shop and eat the ice cream! Go to the spa!!

    This was my first solo vacation and it was wonderful. Relaxed doesn’t begin to cover it. Everyone was so nice and helpful. The rooms are beautiful and with the pool and ocean at your feet there is almost no reason to leave the room. Food was good, weather was nice and the ambience was PERFECT

    Palafitos Overwater Bungalows!

    Everything was absolutely amazing! We stayed at the palafitos overwater bungalow (Elite) which gives you the most privacy and a sea only view. From the moment we arrived my wife and I were greeted with so much positivity and kindness from Alberto (our driver and first person to acclimate us to the resort and all of its offerings. Aldo and Yasser (and Liz for a short time) were our private butlers and got us anything we needed and set up anything needed to make this visit special and unique. They were incredible and I will definitely miss them when we return home to the states. I would absolutely recommend staying at the Palafitos Overwater Bungalows! Best 20 year anniversary trip ever! Much thanks!
