This was the best resort I've ever stayed at for so many reasons. Forget your worries, disconnect, and enjoy everything palmaia has to offer. If you value quality good rather than quantity, healthy food over heavy, whole foods over processed, this place is for you! The rooms are all ocean view and the whole resort is walkable. I had such memorable classes here and the personal concierge services was a nice touch and way for us to feel connected all through the week. Already planning my next visit!! Shoutout to my nomadic guide Oscar for everything he did to make our stay even better

We had an absolutely amazing 5-day adventure! Despite checking in late due to Canada’s weather, everything went smoothly and felt incredibly welcoming. The service was nothing short of five-star! Rafael, our friendly driver, greeted us at the airport with warmth, shared helpful tips, and was always quick to respond—be sure to ask for him! Throughout our stay, the staff at SuCasa were exceptional, especially Luis, who was simply fantastic. He took wonderful care of our family and knew exactly what we enjoyed. We truly loved our meals at SuCasa, soaking up the warm hospitality that made our holiday unforgettable. Our energetic guides, Oscar and Kassandra, were invaluable, helping us with all the info we needed and swiftly accommodating our requests. As a family of plant-based eaters, we had an incredible time. We didn’t have to worry about food, and the mocktails were absolutely delicious. My kids enjoyed every bite too! I arranged spa treatments for my parents, and they loved it so much they booked a second session the very next day! Don’t miss out on the Samunprai Herbal Ritual—my parents raved about it, and it’s a must-try experience.

This is our 2nd time visiting Palmaia and it was just as magical as the first visit 3 years ago. Everything about our stay was amazing. The rituals that we attended were Yoga, Cacao ceremony, Fermentation class (bread making), and watercolor painting. We highly recommend these activities. Shout out to Mauricio! He has a lot of knowledge regarding fermentation and cooking. We also booked a spa service at Atlantis and it was relaxing and rejuvinating. We were surpised by monkeys outside of the spa waiting area, which added a wonderful surpise to the peacefulness of the space. Every meal was delcious and was matched by top notch service. Special shout out to our waiters Luis and Alejandro. Ismael at Eolo was also great! We loved hanging out at the bar in the evening next to the fire and listening to music. The entire crew including our nomad guides (Karen and Andres) were extremely gracious, kind, and accomodating. Thank you for taking great care of us! We loved every minute of our visit.

Union arrival the receptionist lied about giving me an upgrade. I got exactly what I paid for. Then said; once confronted, the upgrade was to the adults only building. King suite Ocean front, in a family building? Lie. Once I got to my room the view was obstructed by the roof of a restaurant. Since the hotel was completely empty I asked if they could move me to another room with a better view. She then lied again and said that all the rooms in my category were booked out. I went online and saw that there were 7 rooms available on Expedia alone, same room and same days booked! Sent it to them, they then changed my room after another lie saying that the other room wasn’t ready and that I could take a look at it, I might look clean but it’s not. I would have to have my bags brought to reception and stored. That never happened because the room was clean. And the only thing I could think was why didn’t you want to change the room if the whole entire hotel is empty and why cause so much unnecessary chaos if this is a wellness retreat? The mini bar was Not fully stocked. There was only a couple mixed bottled drinks. No beer, wine or spirits. Only Cenote worth seeing is inside of the spa which is an additional charge. Upon leaving the taxi tried to charge $100usd for a ride to Tulum. Been 10 times. I booked my own car and they wouldn’t let him in! Once I said that I was writing a review, she followed me to give a code to let him in. He already left. She then offered a cheaper taxi.
