Villa del Palmar at the Islands of Loreto

Villa del Palmar is a true luxury resort—beautifully maintained and offering something for every type of traveler. The property even features a PGA TPC golf course, one of only 33 in the world, which is a dream for golf enthusiasts. The resort offers a full menu of adventures: kayaking, snorkeling, fishing, whale-watching, dolphin swimming, hiking, and ATV excursions. Back at the resort there were daily games and activities, live music, and nightly shows, all led by an excellent entertainment team that kept the atmosphere lively and fun. Service was impeccable. Room service was prompt and delicious, housekeeping kept everything spotless, and every staff member we encountered was warm and attentive. A special thank-you to Rodolfo, Gilberto, Eliezer, Fidel, Jorge, and Ixchel from the Activities Team, the front desk staff and the housekeeping crew whose energy and professionalism made our vacation unforgettable. One small suggestion: during the quieter hours when no activities or shows are scheduled, soft lounge or background music in the common areas would create an even more relaxing ambiance. Whether you’re looking for adventure or pure relaxation, Villa del Palmar delivers on every level. We left refreshed and can’t wait to return.

We have been coming to VDP at least once a year since 2012, often twice a year. We love VDP and recently became members. My wife and I love this beautiful quiet and relaxing resort setting by the Sea of Cortez. This time, we came with friends and had a blast. The service as always was outstanding and very friendly. I would like to mention several employees who provided outstanding service constantly year after year, this last visit as well including Joshua, Oliver, Manu and Sergio at Casa Mia. Gerardo and Louis at the Pool. Lastly, Cassandra at Concierge. In addition, I must mention Christopher, the Pool Manager who day in and day out made sure we had shade and fresh towels. He is the best! This visit, we used the Sabila spa service for a Swedish massage for my wife and it was great. The reason for giving 4 stars is a continuing issues that do not seem to be resoled and management maybe listening but not resolving it. So here they are: 1. Lots of tiles in the Pool are missing and every time we come more fall off. For god sake, fix it already! 2. Black Mold in room showers. It is disgusting. Fix it! 3. WiFi quality in the rooms and around the resort is poor. We are in 2025, hire a serious IT company to bring your WiFi to the twenty first century. Lastly, we spent two weeks this time at the resort and the espresso machine at the Starbucks stand by The Market was broken throughout our stay, NOT COOL! Should not take that long to fix the frothter.

If you’re booking a snorkeling trip with Danzante Tours, ask for Roman and Maurice — they are absolutely outstanding guides. Both were extremely professional, kind, and thorough with safety from start to finish. They made sure everyone was comfortable and informed before we got in the water, and their passion for what they do really showed. They took us to all the best snorkeling sites, and we were lucky enough to see orcas and tuna feeding on sardines — an unforgettable experience! The whole day felt perfectly planned and relaxed, and we always felt safe and well taken care of. I highly recommend these two — you won’t find better guides anywhere. Thanks, Roman and Maurice, for an incredible day on the water!

Poll service was amazing. Always courteous and helpfull. We had Dylan for most of the days and he was amazing. Can’t wait to come back and see all the wonderful staff again. Keep up the awesome work. We even had a space launch visible from our table at the golf course restaurant.

We play pickle ball with Edmar. He was awesome. He explained all the rules and teach us how to play the game.. he was great. Thank you Edmar.

Mi estancia en Villa del Palmar Loreto fue muy grata. El personal es sumamente amable y atento; las instalaciones se encuentran bellas y bien conservadas, lo que hace que la experiencia sea muy agradable. La comida es sabrosa y variada. Deseo hacer un especial reconocimiento al Kids Club y a su maravilloso equipo: Melina, Monserrat, Yaneli y Renata, quienes hicieron un gran trabajo con los niños y marcaron la diferencia en nuestra visita. Como áreas de oportunidad, noté la presencia de muchas moscas en las zonas comunes, el plan all inclusive no contempla room service, y sería recomendable que los restaurantes tuvieran horarios intercalados para evitar que el servicio se detenga entre comidas. En general, una excelente experiencia que recomendaría, con algunos detalles que al mejorarla harían aún más memorable. My stay at Villa del Palmar Loreto was very pleasant.

I would like to give special recognition to the Kids Club and their wonderful team: Melina, Monserrat, Yaneli, and Renata, who did an excellent job with the children and truly made a difference during our visit. As areas of opportunity, I noticed the presence of many flies in common areas, the all-inclusive plan does not include room service, and it would be ideal if restaurant schedules were staggered so that service does not stop between meals. Overall, an excellent experience that I would recommend, with a few details that, once improved, would make it even more memorable.
