Dec 30, 2025Avoid this resort
We’ve been here for 1 hour and we are ready to leave. We are not difficult to please but this place is ridiculous. Before we could have our first drink we already got blindsided by the “new resort” pressure presentation in exchange for discounted tickets to the NYE party that’s on site! The rooms are basic and just ok. The balcony would be nice if it weren’t 10 feet from a restaurants loud kitchen exhaust. We immediately went back to the front desk to ask if we could pay to upgrade to a different room or if there was a different room of any kind available. The front desk staff said that we had already paid for the most upgraded room they have and that there were no more rooms of any kind available in the entire resort. Mind you this is as droves of people are showing up to check in. I assume they all got turned away? The front fest staff dismissed our concern and did nothing to accommodate. We were not looking for a freebie. So keep in mind, if money is no obstacle, this is the best you’ll get. There are so many nice hotels in PV, this is not one of them. We have been to PV 6 times and have never been disappointed until now.

Dec 30, 2025I'll be back 😀
It was my first time but definitely not my last time. The resort was clean, beautiful, right on the beach. Everyone was friendly, warm and welcoming. Even though it was all-inclusive, I appreciate that my room was equipped with a kitchenette with dishes , pots and pans if I needed to make meals in my room. I also had an amazing view of the pool and beach and a balcony where I could sit and enjoy the scenery. I enjoyed the authentic food and meal time (specifically breakfast) was my favorite as I got to interact with Etelvina. She is fantastic, attentive, and just seems like an amazing human being. When I thanked her she never took the glory but attributed it to her team: Eriberto, Miranda, Xoll, Celestino. Puerto Vallarta is beautiful and I know this wasn't my last time there. The only things I'd change if I could: there was a very pushy salesman at the airport who wouldn't take NO for an answer trying to sell excursions/membership for the hotel. The 2nd thing would be for the hotel to have more night time activities for guests to enjoy. Once the restaurants close at 10:30 it gets very quiet and nothing to do unless you venture off the resort.

Back-to-back Visits at Villa Del Palmar
Our first trip was back in 2008 and it left an impression on us. Fast-forward to 2024 we decided to host a wedding for June 2025 and wanted it at Villa Del Palmar simply because of the first experience years ago. Our wedding coordinator (Brenda Acosta) was amazing and everything went AS planned with no issues whatsoever. We had over 30+ guests and every single person said it was impressive, well-done and the staff was incredible. We had to go back again, and we did this past week. We saw Brenda, Cynthia, and our best staff that hosted our requests was Yeraldin, she was hustling around the beach and pool grounds with a positive attitude and enthusiasm. She always helped us with a smile on her face and people like those we’ve encountered make us want to go back - it’s not just the hotel, it’s the PEOPLE! I would make sure she and all the others that made our experience engaging and fun get all the credit because of them we will be back again

Best hotel and resort I've been to in a long time.
Our time at villa del palmar resort in puerto vallarta was excellent the atmosphere, service, cleanliness and room were A+++ this was our second time going this year in 2025. We had our wedding here in June 2025. I have to say I did not want to leave unfortunately we did but plan on returning EVERY year to this resort. The service from the employees was A+++ they greet you and are very helpful. Food was great didn't have to leave the resort to look for food. The waiters were awesome as well especially YERALDIN she made sure we were satisfied and had everything we needed. ☆☆☆☆☆
