My husband and I spent 5 nights at the Palmilla One & Only last week. We knew the prices going into the reservation - no problem on that expectation. However, as gorgeous as the property was, there were many hiccups in the level of service that surprised us. Nothing that was abhorrent, but just enough missed expectations where the shine... More

The setting is beautiful and the staff attentive, but the prices are over the top and the management attitude is indifferent. The service was very slow and you had to ask for something more than once to get anything done. When you complain, the attitude is very unsatisfactory.

We have never stayed here but liked it alot. The pool is a little disjointed and crowded because the bar is in the pool and always busy but the pool service is excellent and food very good. The suite we had was excellent , top notch, with a huge pool giant open shower and large tub. The butler was very... More

There are no words - just go! Get yourself there. Find a way. You will not be sorry and you will never forget. I have been wanting to go to The Palmilla for years and years! The only problem is - no other hotel will ever compare! There is not check-in desk, they great you by name immediately upon arriving... More

As many previous posters have stated, if you are looking for a bargain, look elsewhere. If you can enjoy a $24 burger while looking over a gorgeous ocean, next to a serene pool, with waitstaff are your beckon call, without getting worked up over the cost, then this is your place. We looked at Esperanza, Las Ventanas and One and... More

My husband and I stayed here on our honeymoon 3 weeks ago and we are still dreaming about it. The resort is an oasis that you do not expect to encounter on your drive over. The grounds are impeccable and our room was to die for. The views are spectacular and even coming from South Florida where we see the... More

We stayed at Las Ventanas twice, one for New Years and once in hot weather, and thought nothing could compare. However, Palmilla was excellent. The resort itself is gorgeous and much bigger than Las Ventanas. The biggest difference is that everything is green and lush with flowers planted everywhere at Palmilla while Las Ventanas has a beautiful but star and... More

A verdant oasis on the tip of the Baja Peninsula. Where azure waters greet the mountainous desert and the Pacific Ocean merges with the Sea of Cortez. Where warm waves break onto a dramatic shoreline… and gray whales can be seen rising majestically in the distance. Here, the gracious style of Old Mexico - with its red-tiled roofs, whitewashed walls, and idyllic setting of exquisite fountains - is quietly nestled amidst swaying palms, bird of paradise and other tropical bloom. ... more   less
