"Awesome time at Villa del Palmar!!!"

What an excellent experience!! Our adventures at Villa del Palmar were above and beyond our expectations. The ambience was very welcoming and reassuring. The food was exceptional and good variety. The facilities were clean and neat. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and very professional; especially Wendy! She answered all our questions and was readily available. She was awesome. Thanks Wendy! Other staff members that were outstanding were Jose (Breakfrst) and Adriana, Delfino, and Lizzeth (Tomatillos).

"Family Vacation at Villa Del Palmar, Cabo San Lucas Mexico"

Our family vacation at Villa Del Palmar in Cabo was excellent. The resort is very well managed, the employees are dedicated and committed to making your stay as comfortable as possible. There are too many employees to mention but some that stood out were Alberto, Antonio, Adrian, Nicki, Ely, Laura, Ana Maria, Valeria, Kevin, Irvin, Ismael and Chuy!

"Great relaxing vacation right on the beach"

Great vacation for my wife and I. Food was excellent. Right on the beach. Enjoyed the 4 pickelball courts and the pool. About 1 mile (easy walk to marina). Also enjoyed the nightly entertainment. I recommend the all inclusive option. My wife and I did not see any whales from the resort but other guests did. Although we did not bring any children, the resort was very family friendly with quite a few kids in a couple of kids/family pools. We spent our time at the adult pool. Water in the pool was comfortably warm. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful.

"Great experience for a family vacation"

We enjoyed our week long vacation at this resort. We did the all-inclusive option and Nayeli, Imer and Trulio were so attentive when we would order drinks and food poolside. All the staff at Villa Del Palmar work so hard and made sure we had a wonderful experience. We also appreciated the entertainment and evening shows- especially Chloe- she was so great with all the kids in our group and they loved watching her perform during the dinner shows!

"This place is a great experience"

The staff here is truly wonderful. Always has a smile and extremely motivated to do a great job. Karla, Elizabeth at the towel stand so many other incredible servers, and the cleaning staff must be mentioned as well. You won’t go wrong by staying here.

"The best!"

My first visit to Villa del Palmar and what a wonderful vacation for my family. From the moment we were picked up at the airport, to check in- easy, comfortable and warm. The room was perfect (thank you Vanesa!!) and it just kept getting better. Good delicious at all the restaurants (all inclusive is the way to go if spending majority of time at resort). Special shout out to the very accommodating and welcoming team at Tomatillos ( Edgar, Mario, Delano, Joel, Luis and Lorena!!). Food was spectacular. We will be back and soon! See you in August- can’t wait!

"Very secure"

We were upgraded to a lovely one bedroom suite with two full baths right on the ocean we could hear the ocean at night and had a full kitchenette so we were able to cook up the Dorado we caught fishing. The upper pool's adults only the lower pool is the family pool and kids pool the slide is super fast and fun for adults and kids. The resort is very secure but not very walkable to town. We did not do the all-inclusive as it wasn't worth it for us. For some it would have been.

"100% satisfied"

I stayed there 5 nights 6 days, 100% satisfied! The entire staff made my vacation so enjoyable. Edna was amazing helping me plan out my activities. Provided me with a map and tips and tricks to get to Downtown. House keeping was on point! Food was amazing, my favorite was Carbon Grill ! Restaurant management was always so pleasant in helping us with our daily reservations for dinner. They literally had very joyful nightly events at the restaurant. From listing to Mariachis, Lion King musical performance to Elvis Presley night. Also by 10pm it was all nicely closed down so we had a quiet night. Can’t wait to be back !

"Our experience was AMAZING!!!!"

From the moment I booked with this resort, I had an amazing experience. My personal concierge was amazing! He checked in with me frequently and made sure that I understood exactly what was provided at the resort.

My family and I chose the all-inclusive option, and it was fantastic! Upon arrival until the very end of our trip exceeded my expectations.

All of the staff were outstanding, and the services that were provided were amazing as well. The facility and our room were always very clean, and I never once felt uncomfortable.

The food is outstanding and we had an excellent variety to choose from! The drinks were SO good as well, and they were definitely NOT watered down!

The Starbucks and market that are located on the same resort grounds were an added bonus! The market has basically anything you might need and then some!

This resort was truly amazing!

"Try this resort next time you're in Cabo"

The family had an absolute blast at Villa del Palmar. The drinks and food were much better at this resort than others we'd stay at in Cabo. The servers at the pool do a great job getting drinks to you. For dinner you have to try Carbon. They bring a hibachi grill full of streak, shrimp, chicken and vegetables. We had the best service from Alfredo and the chef Miguel was amazing. We didn't have any issues with our bill.

"Best week stay in Cabo !"

We just returned on Sunday March 31st. What a great trip. The New improvements to the Show area is perfect. The rooms and dining areas very clean and well kept. The Shows and Show dancers were fantastic. I would like to thank the entertainment staff for all their hard work and Dancing. I want to name a few, Chole, Alana,Rodo, Valeria, and Franshesea. I’m sure I missed some but they were all great. Our pool attendants Antonio was always there taking care of our needs. Our drink server Oscar was perfect. Bell staff Luis, Armando were there to assist coming and going with our luggage, and our taxi needs to the marina.

It’s was one of our best vacations from the room, to Food, and entertainment.

A special thanks to Chole and Alana who have made our week stay memorable.

"Perfect place for our family of 6!"

The Villa is even better than the pictures! Beautiful views from the balcony and extremely spacious! Great location about a 30 minute walk to the marina and near the Walmart and Costco. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We were able to cook our own breakfast and lunches for a family of six using the spacious kitchen, and having laundry in the room Was wonderful! We rented a vehicle for the week that we were there and valet was quick, fast, and efficient to have our vehicle ready for us when we called down. Truly a wonderful experience and we plan on coming back!

"Excellent Service"

We spent a week at the resort and it had everything we needed right on site. We particularly loved the beachside service provided by Misael Guzman. He was excellent at ensuring we had all we could eat and drink as well as any chair or umbrella requests. We sat in his area three days and were never disappointed! Exceptional work Misael!

"Best Resort in Cabo!"

We have stayed at Villa del Palmer about 9 times and it just keeps getting better! The cleanliness is over the top, the restaurants are all very good and the buffet and show in the evenings are phenomenal!! Most importantly the staff is amazing and all very friendly! We have made multiple friends throughout our years, huge shoutout to Diaz the bartender in the sports bar, he was over the top and so very friendly and personable. Also, Alberto Rodriguez has been our main man every time we go, he is helpful in every way and always very friendly, we look forward to seeing him every trip! We are already booking our next trip, they are like family to us.

"Spring Break 2025"

The staff is amazing!!! Alberto was always there to help and handle tough situations well the whole time we were there! He is so friendly and very welcoming. The bell guys are some of the funniest people including Effrain, Eliel, and all the others. Another amazing helpful hand was Antonio he was always checking to make sure we were happy and settled and was great management at the pool! Not only were the bell guys fantastic so were the pool waiters and other servers. Our favorite from the week was Nayeli. She was very fast always efficient and friendly always smiling. She was great with all of the kids and made the trip even more enjoyable. Another waiter that did a great job was Oscar, he was fast and friendly. Nico and Carlos were always wonderful waiters who always helped us and got orders in quickly. They are all very hard workers. The activities people whom stuck out to me were Chloe, Jermey, Alanna, and Francesca. All 4 of them made the pool volleyball, bingo, blackjack, etc. much more exciting and welcoming. They were friendly faces you could see constantly around the pool. And last but not least our service at dinners throughout our vacation was great! Art did an amazing job getting tables big enough for our large group even when they were quite busy. Pedro was amazing at carbon every night we ate there! Louis and sunny both did a fantastic job in the sports bar with friendly faces, polite and quick service. Roberto was an amazing waiter during breakfast in the mornings he started to get our drink orders memorized. All in all the staff at Pal Mar makes the trip much more memorable and fun.

"Love with this place and can’t wait to come back!"

We loved every second of our time at this incredible resort in Mexico! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel so welcomed—kind, helpful, and always going above and beyond to ensure we had a perfect stay.

The resort itself is absolutely stunning—immaculately clean, beautifully maintained, and you can tell the team works around the clock to keep it looking its best. The views were some of the best we’ve seen in Cabo, and the beach was clean, swimmable, and blessed with crystal-clear blue water.

We also really enjoyed the dining options—every restaurant we tried was delicious, and the nightly shows were such a fun treat for the whole family. Poolside and room service were both top-notch, adding an extra layer of relaxation to the trip.

Our stay exceeded every expectation—we fell in love with this place and can’t wait to come back!

"The beach in Cabo was one of the best "

We had an amazing experience with the Villa Group while on vacation. The food there was amazing, the room was really nice and the bed was incredibly comfortable. The beach in Cabo was one of the best we had experienced. Great drinks and the service was good too. I’ve read reviews about people getting hit with unexpected charges when they leave, but everything was laid out when we got there and they always told us if there was a premium charge if we got something. The check in and check out process was easy as well. I would recommend staying here

"The food is phenomenal"

This resort played a major part in us having one of if not the best times in our lives. We spent a little over a week at this absolutely beautiful property. The place wasn't over the top in regards to luxury but it most certainly delivered very well with cleanliness, services and the food wow the food was almost as good as it get with an all inclusive resort. The resort lined us up with all of the excursions we wanted to do. The staff were all exceptional especially Natalie at the front dest she's simply as good as it gets.

"The service at the VDP was good"

Stayed at Villa Del Palmar for 10 days Jan-Feb 2025. This was an excellent resort. The grounds are beautiful and nicely manicured. Nightly entertainment shows and music on the pool deck. The 1Bdrm Suite has a nice layout with a Kitchen, dining area, living rm and 2 Full Baths. Cleaned daily. The bedroom needs more drawers for clothes. The location is convenient to the town with a $10-$12 (10-15 min ride). View from the resort is magnificent with the Arch and Hill side, boats and cruise ships in the bay. Whales seen everyday 150 ft from the waters edge. 2 outdoor Restaurants are excellent and you can also dine at the sister resort which has 2 restaurants, a 3 min trolley ride away. Drinks were inconsistent in taste of mixed drinks. The service at the VDP was good at the restaurants and bars. Lines at the lobby desk got a little backed up at times resulting in a 20 min wait. Some issues with the WiFi (buffering and slow) which was a little frustrating at times. The staff was very pleasant to deal. Waiters were very good.

"An experience of 10"

We just returned from an amazing week at this resort, we could not have asked for a better experience. From the moment we checked in, we were made to feel welcome and had the best service. The staff were all very attentive and friendly. David was our waiter at both the breakfast buffet and at the Taco Bar for lunch, we requested him all week because of the service we got from him on our first day. He went out of his way to make sure our dining experiences were top notch and always greeted us with a smile and a hand shake. Thank you David for making our dining experiences great!

Accomodations: The rooms are clean and updated, the room key is on the wristband that they put on you at check in. This is very convenient to not have to worry about carrying a room key. We were only asked one time about doing the sales tour, we said no and we were not asked about it again.

Restaurants: The food at the restaurants was very good, we would highly recommend doing all inclusive for at least part of your stay. In addition to the restaurants at the Villa del Palmar, you also have access to the restaurants at the other two resorts on the property, Villa del Estancia and Villa del Arco. The location of the resort is great.

Bar: The bar services are great and the drinks are plentiful! The poolside waiters are attentive and they truly run their butts off getting drinks, food, and anything else you need! You never have to leave your lounge chair if you don't want to.

Things to do: It's within walking distance to the Marina where there is a lot of shops, bars, and restaurants. If you don't want to walk, there is always a bellman right outside the front door at the bell stand. They will summon a taxi right away and the ride into town is $11.00. The bellman were all very friendly and helpful.

WIFI: The ONLY thing I can see where there can be improvement on is the WIFI access, it's very difficul to access and the fees are confusing. We ended up just using cellular data all week, signal wasn't great at times but we weren't on our phones much. From what I could tell, the wifi charge for non members is $20 per day. Should be free in my opinion.

Overall our exprience was a 10/10 and we will go back in the future. Thank you for a wonderful week!

"The place is like paradise"

This place is paradise. There is so much going on that it was hard to leave to on our amazing activities. The activity directors were the stars of the dinner shows, and we loved the high energy “The Greatest Showman”, “Michael Jackson” and “Grease”. My two year old grandson wore his Spider-Man shirts and everybody was calling him “Spider man” by the time we left. I could have stayed another week, but Christmas was just 10 days away and we missed the rest of the family.

The only downside was that the internet was down for most of the six days we were there. But we managed to book all of our excursions and make dinner reservations through our consierge Fernanda.

Our view was amazing from our sixth floor balcony. We could see the ocean, both pools and the entertainment stage.

"I loved the food "

Here now, 5th day of 6. Watching whales from lounge chair that I claimed at 5:30 am. Easy to know where to look as there are 5 boats out there. Yesterday we were on one, the escape breakfast and whale watch. 1st time I've seen humpback whales breach. Was yesterday and they are doing that now.

This is a great resort with 5 restaurants open for dinner. Good food, especially the seafood, especially the sashimi and ceviche. The.farm to table restaurant, Tomatillos, had tasty interesting dishes. We enjoyed 2 buffet dinner shows and we're saddened by the Detroit Lions loss at the sports bar but enjoyed the food, drinks, and rowdy fans.

We got a good deal from Monster with all inclusive plan so I cannot comment on prices. Gave up 4 hours for it, sitting through a sales presentation. We do this from time to time and surprisingly they have a new twist. Guess ya gotta have something new.

"Excellent Service"

We enjoyed our stay at Villa del Palmar. The resort is very clean and well-maintained. We could always find a spot at the pool, at any time of the day. The food is good and the service outstanding. In particular, Jovany, Irasema, and Excel in the Sports Bar were extremely friendly and efficient, providing excellent service every time. They made us feel like part of the family. In the Taco Bar, Amalia also provided superior service and was a pleasure to deal with. The housekeeping staff was wonderful; we were well taken care of. Our porter, Juan, was attentive and efficient.

We loved our visit to Villa del Palmar. The accommodations were top notch, the staff were friendly and helpful. One of our favorite places to eat was the taco bar, which became El Carbon at night. Angie, Sunny, Liliana and Wilder were delightful. They made our dining experience fun and welcoming. We can't wait to come back and see them again. They made us feel like family.

"AMAZING wedding job!"

I cannot express enough to the staff and specifically Rocio Avalos at Villa Del Palmar who we worked with for a year on our daughters wedding. To hold a destination wedding can be challenging and scary but Rocio did an AMAZING job, thinking of every detail and making it SO beautiful & special. We cannot thank you enough. There are no words to describe how happy we all were and were just so very thankful.

"EXCELLENT VACATION DESTINATION"

Rooms were very nicely kept with all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. With all the restaurants on the property, never had to wait to eat. There was plenty of activities to do on and around the grounds of the hotel for both young and old! We were especially fond of the California Bella the food was always on point! The Chef was able to cook our "catch of the day" to perfection and was served by our favorite server Esther. Esther would always provide us impeccable service and excellent advise on the foods that we liked she made our stay extra special. Thank you Esther, can't wait to go back and visit with you again.

"We felt like royalty"

It's been 4 years since my boyfriend and I came back and it was like coming back to a second home. From the minute we walked in the door everyone ensured that we had everything we needed and that we were enjoying ourselves.

We would love to give an extra special shout out to LUIS GARCIA, our pool concierge. From the second we met Luis, we knew that his role was so much more. Luis made us feel so welcome, like seeing an old friend, and I could tell that every guest he talked to felt the same way. We saw him maintain professionalism and a smile while being pulled in many directions that would have tested any person in his position. I wish we stayed longer because Luis is definitely someone we'd love to hang out with.

Villa del Palmar, you have won the lottery with Luis!

"Superior customer service"

This has by far been the best vacation I have ever had. The staff goes above and beyond. One thing that is very touching is when they speak to you, they hold their hand on their heart as a sign of respect and love. The food here is excellent. Nothing average about this resort. The rooms are very nice. I will definitely be returning in the future.

We had a lovely stay at The Villa Del Palmar. I have to say that it’s the staff that makes the difference! Hector our server by the pool for 5 days was the best! Helpful, courteous and fast!
