Best Things About the Resort:

Resort Experience:
Villas del Palmar had a very smooth check-in routine. The staff was very helpful and courteous. The grounds were very clean, even though they were in the midst of still repairing the damage caused by a hurricane in September 2001 (travel date was end of November). Their beach was eroded from the storm, and they had caution tape around the cement steps leading to the beach (beach not accessible from the resort). There was an almost-five-foot drop from the last step to the sand (that's how much beach had been washed away). The beach will slowly return after several months of tides and waves, but we were not informed of the condition the hurricane had left their resort in. There is a small area of upper beach that is roped off for resort guests to sunbathe on the resort lounge chairs provided -- peddlers still beckon while you sun. The pools are great. The guest relations for making arrangements for rental cars and activities were excellent. The timeshare presentation was to the point and very informative, as timeshare ownership in Mexico is lease hold – it runs 30 years from the last sale, and ownership returns to the Mexican government or land owner after the lease runs out. Beautiful views of the bay from the terrace units. The resort is within a reasonable walking distance of the Marina and downtown areas.
