What guests think
At Villa del Palmar Flamingos, guests praise the beautiful beachfront setting, large pools, and family‑friendly atmosphere, as well as spacious rooms with kitchenettes and many ocean views, while repeatedly noting slow or chaotic check‑in and persistent timeshare sales pressure.
Dining feedback is mixed: the breakfast buffet earns frequent praise, but menus feel limited to some, service can be slow, and prices are high. Facilities impress with beach access and family activities, yet guests cite elevator outages, ongoing renovation, hot‑tub or pool maintenance issues, and a shortage of loungers and umbrellas. Housekeeping and maintenance can be inconsistent, and some report billing or deposit frustrations, but overall it suits travelers seeking a relaxed, seaside resort.

Facilities
Beachfront pools and family activities are a highlight, and many enjoy the relaxing grounds. Recurrent drawbacks include elevator outages and renovation work, occasional hot‑tub or pool maintenance issues, and a shortage of loungers/umbrellas leading to chair‑saving.

5 days of my stay at the pool during the cleaning process, the water was not clean, the HOT Tub water was cold and the jets were not working /it was fixed after 5 days/I was leaving that day. I asked the service desk 2 times and other people also asked...nothing was done for 5 days of my stay, and no shampoo was delivered for 2 days. I was promised on the 1st day to get a massage and spa service with a discount but never did. Just do not promise if you are unable to keep the promise...The servers at the pool area, bell person, and restaurant were outstanding. If you came to us, not a member you just received bad service, water drinks, etc. I see the difference because I am a member but this time I was just the tourist staying in the hotel paying the price comparable to other 4.5-5-star hotels. I got the treatment of 2-3 stars....It wasn't right

Elevator did not work. I was not notified during reservation. Dining was mediocre. Better food at fast food restaurant. It took 40 minutes to check in. While 4 people in member services were sitting there- cross train! The only positive is that service staff were fantastic - personable, approachable, and helpful.

The pool was unsafe to swim and from what we are hearing this has been an on going problem . The water was green due to Algae as the pumps were not working and it’s been like that for a few months now. There is absolutely no entertainment and the hotel pretty well is a ghost town at 8:30 at night. You would think Expedia would stop sending people to a resort like this due to water problems. We were at this resort for 10 days and not once were we in the pool . People were finding themselves with flu like symptoms because of the water conditions that they decided to swim in .

Like the area around the pool and the beautiful beach area. Found that there were no where near enough umbrellas at the beach side. So many chairs and so few umbrellas. We were only able to take advantage of the beach side once as we could never get an umbrella. Also, the chairs around the pool get taken very early in the morning by people putting towels out and then leaving them there for hours on end. Not sure what, but there has to be a better system.

We were "upgraded" to "better" room. In that tower the elevator was not working. We were in a 4th floor, carrying up and down our stuffs and sometimes the kids. Not great time.

I rate this place 3 out of 10. Hortencia at the front desk was extremely kind and patient. We checked in on Christmas Day only to be told that we did not pay for the “all inclusive”. However, I specifically searched for all inclusive hotels which is how we came about in choosing this resort. The family and I had been traveling since 2am, so we were extremely tired and hungry checked in about 3-4pm. Hortencia tried calling Travelocity but no one answered so we ended up paying for “all inclusive” yet again. Reason I’m rating this hotel so poorly is because of room issues. 1. The phone did not work, it took 3 x of us complaining before it got fixed. The first time we complained they sent someone, he came and said they would need to replace the phone and never came back. 2. The bathroom fan did not work, there was a leak under the sink that soaked a bunch of our toiletries. We had to put towels down to try and catch some of the water that seemed to slowly pour out from under the sink and between the wall, but not sure exact location but towels were extremely soaked by the am - the leak never got fixed. 3. Two out of the 6 days we stayed at this hotel towels had blood stains, we complained they brought new ones - also, we were a family of 4 and sometimes we would only have 3 sets of towels, so having to call for an extra set was extremely annoying. Oh, the pool area. Towels were sometimes hard to come by. There never seemed to be enough chairs for everyone but we made it work.

We absolutely love staying at Villa del Palmar! The resort's location right on the ocean is unbeatable, and most of the rooms offer stunning ocean views. We had an amazing balcony with comfortable outdoor seating, perfect for relaxing and taking in the scenery. The rooms are spacious with cozy beds, and the pool area is both beautiful and expansive, featuring plenty of comfortable lounge chairs. One of our favorite things is enjoying the ocean view while swimming in the pool. The pool staff is especially friendly and attentive—there’s always someone nearby to take your drink order. This was our second stay at Villa del Palmar, and we definitely plan to return. However, we did experience a few issues during this visit. Our room wasn’t as clean as expected upon arrival; we found some leftover food and debris on the floor, and the balcony furniture, bedside table, and desk were quite dusty. I ended up cleaning and sanitizing the space before we unpacked. Additionally, one of the recessed lights in our room was flickering. We reported it to the front desk the next morning, but unfortunately, it wasn’t addressed during our stay. On our last full day, we also didn’t receive fresh towels and had to track down a housekeeper, who was not very friendly. Despite these inconveniences, the beauty of the resort and the overall experience still made our stay enjoyable. We’re hopeful that these were isolated issues, and we’re looking forward to coming back again soon!

Villa Del Palmar has been a favorite destination of ours for 20 years. The staff are the best!! Always quick to help and with a friendly smile. Many of them are like close friends. We look forward to seeing Agustine at the pool, Antonio and Louis always make us feel at home when they greet us at the front. Our only complaint was the condition of the resort was not as clean as years past. The pool was so cloudy, I would not put my head under water it was bad! I informed them several times. It was not fixed the whole 8 days we were there. The sidewalks around the pool did not look like they were being washed regularly. Having said that, we are planning on returning in the spring. Hopefully these were just temporary issues.

El hotel muy bien el cuarto no es viejo ni nada así. Todo bien. Me gusto que a diferencia de muchos hoteles Aqui sirven el desayuno de 7am-12pm, y aunque sea tarde, 12pm por ejemplo siempre encontré camastros libres y con sombrillas, porque hay muchas siempre alrededor de la alberca. Las sombrillas se mueven fácil con rueditas atras y adelante es lo único que requería hacer y siempre tuve camastro en sombra. Otra cosa que me gusto que no tienes que dar número y luego entregar con número las toallas, te la prestan en el toallero de la alberca y al final las pones en los cestos y listo. Sin complicaciones. El mar cerquita no tiene que caminar más que 1.5 min de la alberca a la playa. Y muy bonita la playa. De todo el hotel una regadera para quitar l arena era todo lo que no funcionó. Compre solo desayunos incluidos con Expedia y valió la pena. También me dieron mi botella de bienvenida y te dejaban tus chocolates a la hora de abrir camas para la noche. La habitación tenía cocineta, trastes para 4 personas, Micro, frigobqr, fregadero, cafetera, tostador, todo por si quieren hacer algo. Te regalan kit con tes, café y eso. Todo me gusto. Lo único que vi es que para quien tenga TI, considero poco variados los menús, las cartas no tenían mucha variedad y si es caro, alrededor de 300 pesos por opción, más bebidas de unos 100 pesos. Éramos 2 adultos y un niño, y a mi en lo personal Todos me trataron muy amables, desde la recepción , los meseros, por teléfono, mi salida y cuenta OK

I like that the rooms have a kitchenette or full kitchen. Also the staff is friendly and welcoming. The location is great also. I didn’t like that the water in the shower was not warm enough. This was the first time this happened. I had stayed there several times and it was not a problem. But overall it’s my favorite resort so far.

Many things to like about the property. Rooms are wonderful and clean, housekeeping was amazing and location is good. Only issue was the staff was not very friendly, the $75 day spa credit was a joke (you can only use credit from 4 to 7pm and massages started at $230) and they are a little too pushy about the timeshare option.

The resort itself is okay. But checking in was an absolute nightmare. Someone with the resort told us to check out of our other resort next door early and they would get us in early… we got there at 9:30 am and they kept giving us a different time that our room would be ready. We didn’t get into our room until 4:30pm. Just to find out that they put us until a room with two double beds instead of one king sized bed like I paid for. For the amount of money I paid to stay here, I am extremely disappointed.

Service
Staff are frequently described as friendly and helpful across the resort. On the other hand, check‑in is often slow or disorganized, timeshare sales feel aggressive, and some guests faced billing, deposit, or benefit‑honor issues.

Nice building and room The staff were great with the exception of the check in. It took 1 hour & 45 minutes to move four spots forward to make it to the check in desk. Then we were assigned a room already given to someone else. So we took a room for one night and changed to what was acceptable for a room for 13 nites the next day. Not enough staff ever at the front desk - should be prepared to staff up!

I am rating too low because they did NOT give me the deposit back yet. It’s been over a month I am still waiting for any good response from the hotel. The hotel is nice but the staff is not helping with the deposit back. In most of hotels take $100.00 dls and in this hotel $7,000.00 pesos

Great hotel, however check-in was absolutely horrible! Waited over an hour standing in the lobby to even get to the check-in desk. There was only a couple parties in front of us, but staff was extremely slow!!! Slowest check in that I’ve ever had!!!

Our stay started with a tour for membership. The representative they gave us the tour whose name is Ulysses was incredibly mean, disrespectful, and insulting, not only to me, but especially my wife. Called us fools and idiots. After this, we had to spend the next four days at a resort that made us feel like they hated us. Completely terrible experience and although I’ve stayed there three times before I will never be coming back. This hotel experience was very poor from all aspects. Some of the staff was nice to us, but overall they seem to be an angry group. On top of that the food was incredibly disappointing and did not match any of the food that we had off of premises. Again terrible experience and would not do it again. Kym Lewin.

The grounds and property are very nice especially the pool area. The included breakfast buffet was really amazing. Everything you could want. The staff is generally very attentive and every evening they delivered a dessert complimentary to our room. The property was maybe 20% occupancy during our stay. The main downside was the high pressure sales pitch that you are forced into the day you arrive. They told us our room wasn’t ready and that a man would “review the property and services with us”. That was for about 2 minutes of a 25 minute pitch to try to get us to attend an “informative membership presentation” the next morning. They offered discounts for the restaurants, a discounted tour, 15 free drinks and even bottles of liquor. We had no interest, but he persisted. Later even offering a free tour. He was unhappy with our rejection which made us both a bit uncomfortable if the staff was unhappy with us. Of course our room was ready after the pitch. This seems mandatory so please expect this sales pitch. Also, the exchange rate was VERY LOW at the hotel and they tried to force us to use taxis (double the cost vs. Uber). We wish we knew this before arriving and may have played a role in our decision to stay here.

Location
Beachfront location with easy access to the sand and a quieter, family‑oriented vibe; Bucerias is walkable for some. It’s farther from downtown and many restaurants, so taxis, Uber, or a car are commonly used.

The staff were amazing! Friendly and very helpful. Always positive and eager to enhance our stay in any way possible. The rooms were clean and the housekeeping staff were fast and efficient in cleaning our rooms. The pool staff and waiters were friendly, and worked very hard to meet every guest’s needs. We did not do the all inclusive so I cannot comment on the food. We ate in local restaurants and walked to Bucerias daily. Would definitely return to this hotel.

Overall this hotel is beautiful. The pool and grounds are gorgeous. We were very happy with our room and the cleanliness. Food is a tad pricey without very many options nearby but it is goid, my kids loved the pizza. I recommend taking a taxi to bucerias or sayulitas for great food and a really nice culturally rich experience. Its easy and convenient to take a taxi from the hotel to get anywhere you would like. There is a pretty big deposit required when arriving, which isnt mentioned when booking so be aware.My biggest complaint is that this hotel tries to get all its guests signed up for a time share, the minute you walk in to check in they are like sharks on you, after check in the front desk will then tell you to pick up a welcome packet and its actually their time share representative offering you free breakfast and such but what they don't say is they are trying to get you to spend half your day at a presentation. They arent upfront or honest about what it is and it feels very scammy and annoying to be on vacation and be hounded by salespeople. The minute we said no to them we were given hard looks by the saleslady for the rest of our trip. I feel like this is something that really was tacky when you already paid for a room and are just trying to relax on vacation. That being said, just immediately say no to the offer and enjoy the beauty of the hotel and scenery and you will definitely have a memorable vacation. This is one of the most beautiful places i have been.

Many things to like about the property. Rooms are wonderful and clean, housekeeping was amazing and location is good. Only issue was the staff was not very friendly, the $75 day spa credit was a joke (you can only use credit from 4 to 7pm and massages started at $230) and they are a little too pushy about the timeshare option.

The breakfast buffet is widely praised. Overall food and restaurant experiences are mixed, with reports of slow service, limited variety, and high prices; voucher or discount rules also create confusion.

El hotel muy bien el cuarto no es viejo ni nada así. Todo bien. Me gusto que a diferencia de muchos hoteles Aqui sirven el desayuno de 7am-12pm, y aunque sea tarde, 12pm por ejemplo siempre encontré camastros libres y con sombrillas, porque hay muchas siempre alrededor de la alberca. Las sombrillas se mueven fácil con rueditas atras y adelante es lo único que requería hacer y siempre tuve camastro en sombra. Otra cosa que me gusto que no tienes que dar número y luego entregar con número las toallas, te la prestan en el toallero de la alberca y al final las pones en los cestos y listo. Sin complicaciones. El mar cerquita no tiene que caminar más que 1.5 min de la alberca a la playa. Y muy bonita la playa. De todo el hotel una regadera para quitar l arena era todo lo que no funcionó. Compre solo desayunos incluidos con Expedia y valió la pena. También me dieron mi botella de bienvenida y te dejaban tus chocolates a la hora de abrir camas para la noche. La habitación tenía cocineta, trastes para 4 personas, Micro, frigobqr, fregadero, cafetera, tostador, todo por si quieren hacer algo. Te regalan kit con tes, café y eso. Todo me gusto. Lo único que vi es que para quien tenga TI, considero poco variados los menús, las cartas no tenían mucha variedad y si es caro, alrededor de 300 pesos por opción, más bebidas de unos 100 pesos. Éramos 2 adultos y un niño, y a mi en lo personal Todos me trataron muy amables, desde la recepción , los meseros, por teléfono, mi salida y cuenta OK

Hotel is in excellent condition and the beach is amazing. Food and food and beverage service is great. The only 2 things is that air conditionate on room made too much noise, and they charge a 15% tip plus 16% tax on every bill (in Mexico service is charged separetely) so beware on double tipping when paying the bill.

Nice clean quiet resort. Activities staff was great! Dining options were not great. If you’re not all inclusive there’s not much to choose from besides pool or room service. No breakfast menu restaurant- only buffet. The theme night shows are tied into paying for a buffet. Not informed about that and had already ate dinner so no shows for us. The elevator near our room was broken. Mom had a long walk to go anywhere.

The grounds and property are very nice especially the pool area. The included breakfast buffet was really amazing. Everything you could want. The staff is generally very attentive and every evening they delivered a dessert complimentary to our room. The property was maybe 20% occupancy during our stay. The main downside was the high pressure sales pitch that you are forced into the day you arrive. They told us our room wasn’t ready and that a man would “review the property and services with us”. That was for about 2 minutes of a 25 minute pitch to try to get us to attend an “informative membership presentation” the next morning. They offered discounts for the restaurants, a discounted tour, 15 free drinks and even bottles of liquor. We had no interest, but he persisted. Later even offering a free tour. He was unhappy with our rejection which made us both a bit uncomfortable if the staff was unhappy with us. Of course our room was ready after the pitch. This seems mandatory so please expect this sales pitch. Also, the exchange rate was VERY LOW at the hotel and they tried to force us to use taxis (double the cost vs. Uber). We wish we knew this before arriving and may have played a role in our decision to stay here.

A well managed property with mid level ammenities which provide good and adequate services ( food, beverages, etc..) Due to the low season and subsequent lower occupancy; restaurants were rotated daily on and off, it was somewhat puzzling to determine which was going to be opened or closed in the evening. All in all a great place
