Reviews and Ratings
I had an amazing stay at the hotel, featuring breathtaking views and impeccable service. The rooms, although not oceanfront as advertised, still offered a fabulous view. They felt slightly dated but were partly satisfying in comfort and design.
My stay at the hotel was simply spectacular! The rooms were always fresh and ready, and we had an upper-level large room with a high ceiling, sheltered balcony overlooking the sea, and a huge, luxurious bathroom. The cost added up to more than the rooms, but it was worth it.
Staying at this hotel was a dream come true! The rooms had a beautiful view over the rocky aspect of the beach and out to the sea, and despite being considered one of the more basic room types, they felt like a suite, very luxurious indeed. The service was outstanding, with a ratio of 2 or 3 staff to 1 guest, which amazed me. The location was unbelievable, with massive surroundings that felt intimate and lush, like an oasis. The dining experience, particularly having breakfast on the deck overlooking the ocean, was yummy and enjoyable.
My stay at this hotel was absolutely wonderful! The rooms were authentic and perfectly appointed, spacious, private, and beautifully designed. They are lovely, spacious, clean, and well-insulated, providing a peaceful retreat. The service was exceptional, with staff always greeting me with a smile and going above and beyond to ensure my stay was excellent. The location is simply breathtaking, with meticulous gardens and stunning ocean views. The dining experience was a true treat, complemented by attentive staff and delicious menu options. The facilities were top-notch, enhancing my overall experience.
My stay at One&Only Palmilla was an unforgettable experience. The rooms, with personal butlers on call, were simply lovely and not to be missed. The service was incredibly professional yet warm, making me feel like a VIP. The location was a true oasis, lush and well-groomed, offering spectacular views and beautiful beaches. The dining options, although a bit pricey, were exceptional, especially dining on the beach and around the pool. The facilities were top-notch, providing everything I needed for a luxurious stay.
I had an amazing stay at the hotel! The location was perfect, right in the middle of the property with stunning ocean views. The rooms were beautifully decorated with balloons and flowers and had a large patio, comfy furnishings, ample closet space, and a dreamy bathroom. The only downside was that I still prefer my Pedregal room for the ocean view and the magical feeling of driving through the mountain tunnel while in the shower.
