 | Las Palmas by the Sea: Beware of false all inclusive resorts
|  |

What can I say!!! In our opinion this hotel does not meet the criteria of anything more than a 2 star cheap, filthy, insect and bug infested compound. The place was incredibly small, that you wake up nauseated to the smell of the less than appealing buffet, that was feeding more than the hotel guests (wasps,flies,bees,ants...) and a very malnourished cat.
We arrived in Mexico on August 21, 2005 Mona and Seth were supposed to get married but to our shock (not really) the wedding was cancelled. But as considerate sisters we went with Mona's arrangment and of course she got to pick the resort!!! It was definitely a trip that should never have taken place in August at the least.The weather was stormy at night and hot and humid at day. We did enjoy the amazing lightning storms over the pacific. Unfortunately, we spent more time on the toilet than the beach!!!
Great staff and the entertainment was cheesy but we didn't miss a show as Tony the entertainment manager was worth sticking around for. He was the only one that gave us something to look forward to in our misery. We needed to stay close to our room as the nature calls were more frequent then we had anticipated. Unfortunately, that meant our nightlife in Mexico ended at 1100pm which totally sucked. The music in the resort was turned off precisely at 1100pm and partying on the beach was impossible as it was real bad weather and the red flags were up. To add salt to the wound, our all inclusive free drinks also ended at 11pm, forcing you to pay for any drinks until 1am when the bar closed.
Our first night in Mexico, the weather was good and we went to the beach to watch the lightening, we were then joined with a group of locals, they played the quitar and sang spanish songs and danced, we were having fun until the hotel security came and told us to break it up. We were not loud and who can hear our voices over the noisy crashing waves anyways. That's how the name compound came about, first you are led to the front desk, numbered and a bracelet is secured on your wrist, lined up at the buffet to eat, given 2 tiny pools to play in, a beach that is off limits and tainted Ice cubes that keeps you close to the compound.

I go to Puerto Vallarta with friends. Certanly i don't feel any enthusiasm to stay in a all-inclusive hotel, called "Las Palmas by the sea".
We stayed on high season, arrived at 9:00, AM, and the firs impression was that the room will be ready at 13:00 PM.
However after the check in the hotel was good. It's not a luxury collection or a boutique hotel, but it's good for the price, may be very good.
The rooms are old but clean. The hotel got 20 years, but you feel the staff experience. I stayed in very luxurye resorts, but new, wherte the staff was out!!!!!. In las Palmas you feel good.
Got 2 pools: 1 for childrens and 1 adult relaxation pool and 1 jacuzzi. There are no big, but you got a place for relaxation. You can watch it, when you go out to the comun areas, and see the hotel full!.
In Puerto Vallarata there are hotel's more expensive and got not the relaxation pool.
The food was better that i expect. In reality i think that all inclusive food are always a garbage, inlcusively on luxur hotel. For me the concept "all inclusive deluxe" is a contradiction!!!! But the hotel's buffete was good. Not gourmet, but good, and i don't be sick with it.
The beach, like all the Puerto Vallarta's beach is not great.... There are so much erosion, however Puerto Vallarta is magic, and the sunset are spectacular,. It's the Pacific's beaches privilegy.
And the animation team is enthusiast.
The conclusion, good price, good acomodation.
Relaxation Pool
