An amazing location, super relaxing and just beautiful all around. We stayed at one of the Elite bungalows and we couldn’t have picked a better vacation spot. The room, the view, the food, drinks, and the staff were all exceptional! We’ll definitely visit again!

From the moment we arrived at the property, we were treated exceptionally well. We were welcomed with a refreshing drink and cool towel before being driven to our bungalow, which immediately set the tone for an incredible stay. The bungalow itself was absolutely amazing—spacious, beautifully designed, and full of luxurious touches. The glass floors overlooking the beach below were such a unique and stunning feature. Having our own personal pool, a full refrigerator, and outstanding service made the experience even more special and comfortable. The staff was wonderful from start to finish, always attentive, friendly, and eager to make our stay memorable. The restaurants were excellent, and the activities offered throughout the property made the trip even more enjoyable. This was truly a magical experience from beginning to end, and we will absolutely be returning for another stay in the near future. I highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a beautiful, relaxing, and unforgettable getaway. Everyone should experience it at least once.

The meals were exceptional at Palafitos with their 5 star resturant. We were pampered the whole stay. One exception is be on the lookout for the massage prices at the Spa. Massages are way over priced yo the point of being market ridiculous. However the gym and hydrotherapy areas are excellent.

As a first time traveler to Carmen De Playa, Mexico I was disappointed upon arrival. Palafitos Resort didn’t provide where and how to find the private transport driver. Lengthy process to get thru the airport to the Resort. The A/C is poorly designed. Be prepared to sleep in 75 degree temperatures. Food options are minimal and the staff doesn’t butler your needs as stated. Beaches and water surrounding the bungalows were covered in seaweed. Vat tax is 16%!!! I won’ be returning anytime soon.
