Villa del Palmar at the Islands of Loreto

Paid full price for 9 days and was bugged continually to go to a prestation a real pain in the butt wouldn't go back

Buffets! Birds! Hiking trails!

Location ok

We were not on all inclusive plan so were disappointed with buffet only menu

Beautiful property with amazing service. The tacos and margaritas were great too!

We really enjoyed our trip to Loreto and to the VDP. This was our first time here and we spent NYE/NY here in a 2bd suite. The food here is absolutely incredible; the best I’ve had at an all inclusive resort (competes with Pueblo Bonito’s Sunset in Cabo). Shout out to Josue at Casa Mia and Jose at the Pool. These servers were delightful and treated us SO well; we loved the attention from them on our vacation. The hikes around the property are good- but fairly strenuous- especially if you’re hiking up to Hole 17 which overlooks the ocean. The rooms do show wear but are spacious. My only gripe is that the mattresses aren’t comfortable and should be replaced. Be sure to make reservations Ahead of time (pre vacation arrival) via Open table for Danzante restaurant, Casa Mia and Casa Club, otherwise you may not be eating here and/or you’ll be eating at 9-10pm. I wish I knew this ahead of time. IMO, the food is best at Casa Mia and the Pool. The buffet is so-so and truthfully, I’d skip Casa Club. Note- the suites state you can do a late checkout, however, when I asked about it, the front desk told me No, bc it was high season and couldn’t accommodate it. While I understand this, I don’t think it’s right to advertise it (esp for the high price of accommodations) if it’s something that’s not offered. We also enjoyed the Spa for massages facials. I really enjoyed Pilar’s services; she did an incredible job with both services and I was so relaxed and truly enjoyed it!

Beautiful site!

Quiet far from everything

Amazing staff and lots of activities at a secluded resort

I’ve read a lot of reviews about Villa del Palmar and some people really enjoy staying which I can see because it is a beautiful location and resort. However, there is more about this resort I don’t like and will not be returning. They try to sell you a time share and can be very pushy, I’m here for a vacation not a sales pitch. I bought the all inclusive that even the property admitted when we said something is not actually all inclusive, it’s a meal plan. So you have to pay for coffee in morning, if you enjoy coffee, if you want to go to “special” shows and dinner you have to pay more, they have no complementary shuttles to the airport. In addition, check out is 11 and they do not allow you to continue to enjoy the amenities while waiting for the shuttle, they start to charge you for everything to include water. For me, if a resort states it’s a premium all inclusive I expect that the little things that make it feel special will be included, this resort falls short of that. In addition, this is a family resort and I expected children of all ages to there what I didn’t expect was them running around like they were literally wild with no adult supervision. The staff did not stop them, within 10 minutes of checking in and sitting down at the beach bar we had children throwing sand getting it in our hair and food. Again, I expected children but I also paid for a vacation and expected there to be some respect for others at the resort. Not our cup of tea but maybe yours.
