Beautiful, great staff/service
Beautiful resort with great service. Our Butlers Samantha and William made sure we had everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. Shout out to the sommelier Miguel for giving advice on tequila and wine during our stay. There isn't much to do on the resort but if you want a relaxing stay Palafitos has it.

Very beautiful, excellent friendly staff, great food, very clean, very quiet, very safe. Do not fall for the "sales consultation". Total waste of time and rip off. Stay clear no matter what they offer you. Other than that very bad "sales" experience, the stay was wonderful. Don't feel bad to tell them no!

I wish i could say positive things but bothing like the video and pics my villa was surrounded with seaweed and the water didnt look like advertised As far as the room it was ok... the electricity outlets did not work and had to get them replaced for the price yiur paying u would expect everything to be in working order. Also the telephone in the room did not work couldnt call front desk or request room service from phone in room i personally would not pay to stay there again

This was our second time there and we love it. So quiet, luxurious, attentive and serene. Aldo is an amazing head of butlers and is top notch. We miss our folks from the last time but he was still there and took great care of us. Seaweed is a concern for this whole carribean/gulf region but they work hard to control it. The seaweed was better this year. Likely environmental. You can't go wrong if you wave to relax and have peace. We are young there and we are mid 40's. Average age is about 55 it seems. We were the only Black people there the whole time we were there and that was on the other properties as well as far as we could see. Let's just say everyone knew who we were and where we stayed. Still an awesome experience and worth the money for what you get!
