Villa del Palmar in Puerto Vallarta

This hotel was great. On first floor before hotel entrance, there is deli /gift shop along with 8 or so computer terminals available to use at a reasonable rate. Bus for 6 pesos takes you into downtown where main boardwalk is blocked from cars so nice to walk around and see the ocean. Plenty of restaurants.

Great beach location

The room was fantastic and the special included a "book 3 days , pay for only 2". There is deli shop in front of hotel that had pastries and coffee and sandwiches. Also 4 or 5 computer terminals to surf internet or view e-mail. Very nice hotel. Bus for 5 pesos takes you downtown where Malecon is now car free so you can walk at leisure.

Love this hotel, but it's certainly not perfect

I really enjoy staying here, it was my 3rd time now. The hotel is a great 3-star hotel, meaning you're not getting a super comfy bed or amazing service but it is a great hotel otherwise and exactly what I'm looking for on a Mexican vacation. I will stay again but only at the right price.

great vacation!

Villa del Palmar was a very confortable, a beautiful place to be on your vacation. The food is excellent and the rooms are clean and larger than in many other hotels we've been. On feture a liked a lot was the fact that there was a kichenett in the room, with small refrigerator, microwave and provided with anything you need to make your breakfast, lunch or even a light dinner if you don't to eat out every time.

Great Staff

The staff at this hotel go above and beyond to make your stay perfect. The front desk went above and beyond to ensure we had the exact suite that we wanted. All of the staff that I interacted with made the stay all the more special. I would highly recommend this hotel. The two bedroom suites are perfect for travelers that have different plans and you can have all of the privacy that you need, even when traveling with others. Location is convenient to everything!!!
