 Beautiful views of the Villa
Del Palmar! by Jabberjenn
We stayed in a "Junior Suite." It had a large "main area", which was basically a mini living room with a queen size bed and a balcony overlooking the ocean. It also had a seperate bathroom and a seperate kitchen with fridge, microwave, stove, etc.
The fridge is filled with stuff, and you get charged for those items you eat/drink. The best news is there is a grocery store right on the resort, just 30 feet from the resorts main entrance. Beers, sodas, water, and everything else were about half the cost in the grocery store. The bottled water especially came in handy...bring them down to the pool rather than spend $5 for a bottle at the pool bar.
Attached to the grocery store, there is also an internet cafe where you can log onto the computer for a very good price. There is also a deli in the internet cafe, with great club sandwiches if you just want a quick, cheap lunch.
The resort itself is beautiful. The pool areas were nice, lots of seating, and even a little water slide at one of the pools. The oceanviews were absolutely stunning.
There are a few beach merchants along the Villa Del Palmar beachfront. The resort has the beach chairs behind a roped off area and the merchants are not allowed to come inside the roped area. They still stand on the other side though, and try to get your attention.
When walking to the left of the resort, you will see no hotels, just a long stretch of deserted beach. To the right, you will see where the beach starts to get crowded. There are more hotels/beachfront restaurants this way. It is a bit of a walk, but its enjoyable. If you do not want to walk, there is a water taxi that comes right up on the beach, and for $2 a person, it will take you to the "happening" part of the beach.
The resort was wonderful, and I would highly recommend the Villa Del Palmar to anyone visiting Cabo!

We booked this Resort almost a year in advance through our exchange company- Interval International. At that time, we requested an ocean view room(1 Bedroom unit) and were told that it's only on request, but since it was requested ahead of time, they will try their best to accommodate it.
Upon check in, we were told that there's no ocean view room available anymore and they can give us only a room on the second floor and it's a pool view. I decided to asked for the front desk manager and after talking to her, she was able to find us a room with the view of the ocean(that's why, if there's something you want to be resolved, always talk to the manager).
This resort got so many activities day and night. They have different "Theme Dinner" daily. Every morning, there's something going on at the pool area for people that wants to participate.. like games, aquatic exercises, etc. You can also hear music the whole day outside the pool!
We stayed in a one bedroom unit with a king size bed and a pull out sofa bed in the living room. One thing nice about the unit is the extra bathroom located closed to the living room( we have our own bathroom ) which you seldom find in a one bedroom unit. They also have a kitchenette complete with microwave, blender,coffeemaker, etc. We sometimes cook breakfast and eat it in the balcony(like everybody seems to do), but at night, we always eat out!
One thing we really did'nt like about the place was the constant calling of their sales customer service people, asking you to come and see them 'cause they want to show you the property and the surrounding resorts and also to invite you for a complimentary breakfast! We always declined...'cause we knew that all they want is to sell you their timeshare! But they never gave up....they will ask you again, when they see you at the lobby...over and over!(almost everyday!).
But all in all, it was an enjoyable vacation! =)
We have a great view from our balcony(5th floor)...pool below with the oceanview background!
They have 3 huge pools.... one just for kids, the other just for adults, and the other for families with kids.
Their Theme Dinner...is worth going to! Different shows and delicious foods every night! Theme: HotelPrice: US$120-180 » Currency ConverterComparison: more expensive than averagePhone: 1-624-145 7200

I stayed here with a group of eight friends on a college Spring Break vacation in March 2006 and found the hotel to have a great value for the price we paid. We did not book the hotel directly through Villa del Palmar, but instead found two rooms that were rented from people owning time shares here. For 7 nights we paid $600 for one room and $800 for the other (although they were nearly identical rooms), split between 8 people making it a very inexpensive $25 per person per night.
The rooms had one large bedroom with a king bed and an attached bathroom, another bathroom, and a kitchen/living room area where there was a pull out couch (double). The pull out couch was pretty small to sleep two guys on, but hey it was spring break. The kitchen had a large refridgerator, a stove, oven, and some cookware. This was nice because we were able to cook simple snacks/meals and keep our store bought beer cold! They cleaned the room everyday, which was much needed for us. None of us ate at the hotel restaurant, but we did eat some mediocre pizzas that they make down at the bar by the pool.
I saw a wide variety of people staying at this hotel. At the time, almost all were Americans, but of all ages. There were families with kids, couples, and yes, some college springbreakers! It wasn't a total party scene though like you see at some places. If that's what you're looking for, it isn't that far away...
The hotel is located about a 20 minute walk from the center of town, or a 5 minute taxi ride. Most of the taxi's down there are large vans and they are great if you have a large group. I remember that the taxi fare was almost always exactly $7 or 70 pesos each way, no matter how many people were in the van! I saw some vans with at least 12 people! This is probably the preferred way to get to the downtown, but I did end up walking a few times and it wasn't bad.
All in all I was very happy with the selection of this hotel. 2 thumbs up.
