Villa del Palmar at The Islands of Loreto

Fantastic views, loved the tranquil ocean, clear water in nearby beaches. Great hiking trails. Clean room, comfortable bed and linens. All the food we ate was delicious, we had mixed drinks twice at Casa Mia which were ok but lacked flavor and liquor. However, the pina colada at the pool bar was very good. Did not do the all inclusive because we like to try the local restaurants, which we did in Loreto and loved. Went to church on Sunday at Our Lady of Loreto Mission, awesome. Will return.

Villa Del Palmar, Loreto, BCS, Mexico. I should not be posting this, We have traveled for the past 20+ years and we are tired of loud, drunken, party goers. Villa Del Palmar, Loreto, is by far the best, quite resort we have found, this past trip was again beyond our expectations. We can not say enough about the Staff who We feel each and everyone of them are empowered to Great Guest Services. The Sea of Cortez in the Baja is a protected Park and you will have no Jet-Skis, Para-Sailing, No Vendors in sight. The entertainment Staff has activities all day starting early with Kayak & Paddle-board classes. The Islands of Loreto are beautiful and should be explored by all. Whales, Sea Turtles, Dolphins, and more Types of Birds then We can name. Do not forget to get to the town of Loreto and the local flavors. We have enjoyed being Members for the past 5 years, we are looking forward to returning soon. The perfect place for adults and seniors who wish for attentive Staff and Great Meals. Not to mention the most beautiful Golf Course in the works, must get up to the 17th hole for the most outstanding views of the Resort and the Sea of Cortez. We will return soon. If you love peace and quite, this is the place.

We've been to a number of great resorts, but Villa Del Palmar offers a couple of things we haven't found anywhere else. First, the location. It's about 40 minutes south of Loreto. Here you can really disconnect and decompress. The vistas are amazing, nestled between the mountains and shores of the Sea of Cortez. Second, the people. The genuine caring and concern of the staff comes through. Everyone was so personable and friendly. Not something that we've experienced at most other resorts. Some of the staff that went over and above include Jose, Cristian, Luis, Abraham, Alonso, Cesar and the entire Activities Team.

What can I not say about this resort? It's like family here. Within the first day of being there, you'll meet everyone on the staff. They are your family. They treat you so well. You are greeted with juice/flavored water upon arrival. Of the staff, I must say that Claudine especially takes incredible care of you. She chats with all the guests and makes sure they have everything they need. She also helps so much with dining options, spa treatments, and other information for activities on the grounds. The hotel itself reminds me of this place in Thailand called, "Santhiya," where you're truly alone. That's how it is here, you are truly alone (in a GREAT way) and it's beautiful. The water is crystal clear too, and there's tons of fish. At the beach, you'll meet David, who is the hilarious and friendly bartend. David will pour you drinks all day and tell you great stories. As well, the show the staff puts on during dinner at one of the restaurants is fantastic. We WILL be going back. Remember, you want to avoid the crowds, annoyances, and general busy-ness of lesser resorts, so choose this one and you will not be disappointed- IT will blow you away.

This was the first visit for my wife and I and another couple to the Villa del Palmar at the Islands of Loreto and it was well worth the trip. Secluded but totally relaxing location, with a great, attentive staff, and wonderful food. We celebrated an anniversary and our friends a birthday. The staff in the Dasani Restaurant gave us very personal service and recognition. The only thing to say about the temps in August is HOT but with a smaller census we never had to wait for anything at the beach, at meals, or for room attendant. The 4 of us enjoyed the two weeks we spent there. One downer was that my wife got an infection but we HIGHLY commend the resident Dr there, Dr Cepeda. He was professional, concerned, and very competent! Her infection was just something that happened and is NO reflection on the resort. Highly recommend.
