Resort: Villa del Palmar, Puerto Vallarta Trip Date: Feb, 2008 Here is Bruce & Gerri's Villa del Palmar Review Overall Rating: Pool Area: Dining at the resort: Beach Area: Sleeping Room: Friendly Staff: "We always do All-Inclusive packages when visiting Mexico. This was the first time we stayed at a hotel that was basically a Time-Share with the option of a so called All-Inclusive. It started out by arriving at 11:00pm and after getting to our room with no offer of help from the staff, we changed and went down to find some food and drink. The restaurant and bar were empty. We found out that our all-inclusive package was only from 7:30am till 10:00pm. If we wanted something to eat or drink we would need to pay for it. The next day after having what they consider to be a buffet breakfast (where there were ants crawling over most of the pastry baskets) we waited to meet our Apple Rep. While waiting, we talked to the manager who informed us that their All-Inclusive package starts with lunch on the day of arrival and ends with breakfast on the day of departure. We had a kitchenette in our room but they did not provide more than the first days coffee supply. The grounds were beautiful but the staff seemed to ignore anyone with a bracelet on. They only had a choice of 2 restaurants for evening meals. During the day there is only 1. Would not recommend nor would we ever stay there again." - Bruce & Gerri from Mukwonago, Wisconsin Stayed at Villa del Palmar Vallarta ?

The rest of the staff and all the resort had to offer was excellent, this is where I will go on my next Puerto Vallarto trip. Tip: leave the airport property and cross the street when seeking a taxi, you will save around $10 or $12 dollars for the trip from the airport." - Terry from Dallas, Texas Stayed at Villa del Palmar Vallarta ?

The unit was a total nightmare and not at all like the one bedroom shown on their web site. After complaining we were given a one bedroom that actually looked like the one on the web site. We purchased an all-inclusive package and found it to be a savings. The food and drinks were good The resort is very clean and the grounds are beautiful.The staff is very helpful and friendly. We enjoyed our week and are looking forward to return." - John & Joann from Oakbrook, Illinois Stayed at Villa del Palmar Vallarta ?

Traveler Hotel Review: Reviewed by: Chester From: Dallas, Texas Resort: Villa del Palmar, Puerto Vallarta Trip Date: Dec, 2006 Here is Chester's Villa del Palmar Review Overall Rating: Pool Area: Dining at the resort: Beach Area: Sleeping Room: Friendly Staff: "Many people travel in Mexico and expect to get world-class accomodation for pennies on the dollar.  Thats not quite how it works.  Yes labor is extremely cheap, but beachfront property is sold or leased by the government at fairly high rates.  Consequently, even though Mexico is "cheap," as a tourist you still get what you pay for.  This resort seems to be near the top of the list in Puerto Vallarta but not quite at the top.  The hotel staff is large and the service is not bad.  The furnishings are not bad and the amount of space in each room is pretty good.  You have to keep things in perspective.  I have been in much better rooms elsewhere but I paid a lot more money for it.  Yes, you will be hounded by poor people trying to make a buck, but thats the way the third world is.  It differs by degrees but the same things happen in Most of Asia, Eastern Europe, etc.  It is true that timeshare marketing is VERY aggressive.  You simply tell them NO and you will not negotiate further.  They get the message and move on the next fish.  All in all its a decent resort for the price.  You can get away with a lot of things in Mexico that you cant do at home.  Theres no point at getting angry at poor people for tying to make a buck, and there's certainly enough to do to make it fun for adults alone or as families. You can pay more to get more, but this is certainly not a bad deal.  If you want paradise, save your money, spend $1000 a night and go to Hawaii.  If you want a cheap trip to the sun for x-mas without breaking the bank, this is a good choice." - Chester from Dallas, Texas Stayed at Villa del Palmar Vallarta ?

Traveler Hotel Review: Reviewed by: Deron From: Hesperia, Calif. Resort: Villa del Palmar, Puerto Vallarta Trip Date: May , 2006 Here is Deron's Villa del Palmar Review Overall Rating: Pool Area: Dining at the resort: Beach Area: Sleeping Room: Friendly Staff: "The rooms were old and in need of upgrades. The condition of the rooms gave the appearance they were dirty all of the time. When I made my reservation, I was guaranteed a room with a king size bed but was given a room with two full size beds. The daily room service was good. The pools were good and consisted of a kiddie pool, an all around pool with volleyball and music, and a quite "mature" pool. The beach area was extremely small and consisted of a rope to block off beach vendors jamming you up to buy junk from them. Every time you turn around on the property you have people asking you if you have your "gold card" to receive your 15% percent off all food and drinks at the resort. The only way to get your gold card is by sitting through a 3-4 hour presentation for a "time share" for the resort. When I told the young lady at the check in that I was on vacation and did not want to participate in the time share presentation, I was hounded for a day and a half. Additionally, on and off the property, time shares salesman are every where you turn around. Don't waste your time on a time share for a 15% discounted gold card that doesn't mean anything to the resort that is over charging for the food and drinks anyway. Overall a 2 1/2 - 3 star hotel." - Deron from Hesperia, California Stayed at Villa del Palmar Vallarta ?
