We had a delightful, stress free week at Pal.Mar Hotel. Check-in was a breeze, and our room was super clean and tastefully decorated. The bed was very comfortable, and the bathroom a generous size. The little kitchen area served our needs well with nice dishes, glasses, and even coffee for the coffee maker. This hotel is conveniently located in town, and the 5 minute walk to the beach is fun. We also appreciated the people who staffed the entry area. They were kind, friendly, and kept the hotel secure. The maids and grounds people kept the whole place in perfect condition. This

This is a beautiful eco friendly hotel. We loved how the room lights and fans would shut off automatically as we left the room and would resume on our selected settings when we returned. The rooms surround a tropically landscaped pool. It is a peaceful, quiet and cool oasis.
The bed was very comfortable. We had plenty of towels for the bath, pool and beach. It was nice to have the reverse osmosis pure water in the room.
The staff were very welcoming and helpful and made sure we had everything we needed.
I would absolutely return to this hotel. It is steps away from many very good restaurants, the beach and many shops - arts, clothes, grocery and a French bakery with delicious fresh croissants and coffee all while retaining the local charm and beauty.

Terrible experience, the minute I got the room noticed a/c was very noisy, impossible to sleep. My trip was disconnect and relax, impossible there. Asked for a solution, rude receptionist said the guy who was supposed to fix it hasnāt gone in days, then asked for a room change, rude receptionist would not do anything, asked for a refund, had to wait 2 hours for a āangryā manager to arrive, as if I were staying there for free. Angry said I would get my money back in 15 days, 20+ days has passed, no money back neither and answer, nobody knows anything, even though I asked for a refund receipt, she said that was it, the only thing left for me was to trust they would refund my money. Donāt get fooled by the pictures, this hotel is located in a noisy low budget neighborhood, if you want to relax is not your place There are several cool hotels closer to the beach, friendlier and better rates!

We are very sorry that you felt like this and that you did not like the hotel. All the photos and texts are completely truthful, as the rest of the reviews reflect. We are not located in a low budget neighbourhood, but in the heart of San Pancho. As a hotel we can say, that the rude behaviour came from your side, not from ours. The receptionist even shut herself in the office due to your aggressiveness. The refund was made immediatlely even though the policies did not force us to.

This was our first time to San Pancho, but won't be our last. What a little slice of heaven! The community is really something special, and PalMar was a great home base for us during the four days we were in the area. Short walk to the beach and PERFECT location for exploring all that the town has to offer. We were lucky enough to have Chio check us in, which was fabulous after a full day of travel. She was kind to hand write recommendations on a San Pancho map for us. Everywhere we ate/drank/shopped was fabulous, and PalMar was a welcome respite where we could regroup each evening. We stayed in the Pal Cielo room, which has a palm tree coming straight through it. Super cool design overlooking the gardens and pool. We loved the fact that there were reverse osmosis water filters which limited the use of plastic. Sustainability and thoughtful design coupled with a stellar location and warm, helpful staff make it easy to give this sweet little abode FIVE STARS.

Our family loved the Pal Mar... we were lucky enough to have two of the suites because of our size. The kitchens were well equipped, and we made breakfast and snacks daily. A/C and dehumidifier kept our rooms comfortable. We enjoyed the pool area and our top floor balcony. We were thrilled with the location. Easy access to many of the great places in San Pancho. We were there over the holiday and the night life was easily heard. From our balcony the nearby live music was special but the late-night pool hall tunes might keep you up into the early hours, if you have one of the street side rooms. The staff was very kind and helped out with whatever we needed. A Christmas gift left in our room was a lovely touch. I would go back in a minute!

We just returned from our lovely trip to the quaint and colorful town of San Pancho where we were fortunate to enjoy the Pal.Mar Hotel Tropical. This lush boutique hotel is centrally located near the main streets in town, leading to the beach front. The front desk staff (Mariel, Chio, Nicole and Carla) were consistently warm, friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. Our room was at the front of the hotel near the street entrance; but although there were some periods of outside noise, it was mostly not intrusive. We enjoyed our lovely patio each day.
Our recommendations to improve guest accommodations are: 1) small microwave in the kitchenette; and 2) ice machine on the property - as our freezer was not able to freeze the ice trays.
We thank the team who each day helped us enjoy our memorable time in San Pancho. We look forward to returning again one day.

We were very impressed with Pal-Mar. The room had every detail you would want including a very well outfitted kitchen (with coffee provided!), great towels and high-end toiletries. Loved having coffee on the patio with the palm trees and birds. The pool area is lovely and peaceful.
The location was very convenient to the town and beach. The staff was very helpful and we would stay there again!

A beautiful boutique hotel centrally located in tiny San Pancho. The kitchen was well-appointed, the room was spotless, check-in was easy, and the staff was mostly friendly. The hotel was full (spring break) so poolside noise was up and running pretty early with all the kiddos. The windows are not soundproof (duh), so the early morning rooster calls were a bit intense for me personally. Otherwise, I would recommend it as a cute place to stay and very good value.
