Palmas del Mar Conference Resort Hotel: Bacolod's Favorite Beach Wedding Venue
by lizaresandrea
My family always enjoys its weekends or special occasions in Palmas. The small kids love the island pool, the older children enjoy the lapping pool and the giant slide. We've stayed in adjoining rooms in the Iberian Suites (each Junior suite is good for 3), also in the Lagoon Suite (good for 4 but can accommodate extra beds), the Poolside Suites (good for four), and the 2 bedroom Cabanas. Each room has a balcony or veranda for enjoying the view and the fresh sea air. The staff are friendly and ready to help but sometimes you have to ask them for things you need (ex. beddings for the third person in the junior suite). Better to inform the front desk that you'll need the sofa bed to be made for a third person, otherwise, the room will be readied for only two guests.
The Iberian Suites and Mediterranean Suites are the most recent and the most beautifully designed additions. The Mediterranean Suites face a private pool area that's lit by torches at night. The resort is incredibly peaceful in the early morning and nothing in more relaxing than a steaming cup of coffee in one of the resort's verandas. Other Bacolod hotels may have cheaper rooms but Palmas gives you a room plus breathtaking sunsets, 5 swimming pools, a jogging path, and all the amenities of a 5 acre resort by the sea.
One thing my family and I like about Palmas is hotel guests can invite a certain number of visitors to enjoy the resort amenities for free during the day.
