Villa del Palmar at The Islands of Loreto

First off, I don’t golf so I can’t review about that, but everyone says it beautiful! Especially hole 17. I was a guest of an elite member. The spa was lovely, we had two massages. The pools and beach were also very nice. I just wish the “elite” section of the beach was closer to the bar or the servers got out there more. We brought our own floaty. You can leave them there while visiting, but people think the resort supplies them so they just help themselves. I never expected the kayak shack to keep track of who has what but I did have to chase my floaty down when I wanted to use it. We stayed in a suite with a kitchen and I have dietary restrictions and like to cook my own food most of the time. So I didn’t enjoy the food in the restaurants all that much. The Market doesn’t provide meat and very limited produce. If you want to shop for your own food, call a taxi and go to a supermarket in town. The shuttle is not available on a last minute basis. I also didn’t deal with the elite concierge very much, our hosts did that. We needed some repairs done in the room and they took care of them very quickly! The boat tour and snorkeling was also very enjoyable. Beware of tiny jellyfish in the water, it goes away quickly but might still freak you out if you don’t know.

Beautiful weather, golf was excellent, the course in great shape and the staff so friendly and helpful. We especially appreciated Manny at the elite pool, Cristofer who was always giving a helping hand and our elite concierges Jessie, Josa, Kiki, and Lupita who did above and beyond to make our stay lovely.

We have been time at Villa Del Palmar every year since they opened their door. In the beginning it was a learning curve for everyone, but each year kept getting better and better. This year was the best ever, the staff is warm and inviting. The facility is well maintained. The bay is very relaxing with something for everyone.

We really enjoyed the resort. I gave it a 4 star instead of 5 is because of the time share sales pitch you must tolerate before getting your luggage and room. Beyond that, very friendly staff. Shout out to Dylan the Beach Bar server. Always had a smile and a great attitude. Beautiful Bay, many pools to choose from, comfy beds and great food. We enjoyed it all.

We have been coming to VDP at least once a year since 2012, often twice a year. We love VDP and recently became members. My wife and I love this beautiful quiet and relaxing resort setting by the Sea of Cortez. This time, we came with friends and had a blast. The service as always was outstanding and very friendly. I would like to mention several employees who provided outstanding service constantly year after year, this last visit as well including Joshua, Oliver, Manu and Sergio at Casa Mia. Gerardo and Louis at the Pool. Lastly, Cassandra at Concierge. In addition, I must mention Christopher, the Pool Manager who day in and day out made sure we had shade and fresh towels. He is the best! This visit, we used the Sabila spa service for a Swedish massage for my wife and it was great. The reason for giving 4 stars is a continuing issues that do not seem to be resoled and management maybe listening but not resolving it. So here they are: 1. Lots of tiles in the Pool are missing and every time we come more fall off. For god sake, fix it already! 2. Black Mold in room showers. It is disgusting. Fix it! 3. WiFi quality in the rooms and around the resort is poor. We are in 2025, hire a serious IT company to bring your WiFi to the twenty first century. Lastly, we spent two weeks this time at the resort and the espresso machine at the Starbucks stand by The Market was broken throughout our stay, NOT COOL! Should not take that long to fix the frothter.
