Excellent Restaurant

I had a great dining experience at the hotel restaurant. The food was of excellent quality with a variety of choices on the menu. I particularly loved the beef, which was tender and delicious. The prices were also fantastic, providing great value for the quality of the meal. I ended up eating all my meals here without a single complaint!

Relaxation at Its Best

The resort provided various spa treatments, which we absolutely enjoyed. The massage therapist was friendly and the massage experience was very comparable to what I've experienced back in the United States. It was a perfect way to unwind after spending the day exploring. Excellent addition to our stay!

Jonathan

United States, March 2025

7.0/10

I recently stayed at Villa de Palermo and had a mixed experience. On the plus side, the villas are beautiful, well-maintained, and offer incredible views. The pool area is pristine, and the wedding I attended was spectacular thanks to the attentive staff. However, the location is quite far from town, and the restaurant prices seemed high compared to other options nearby. Additionally, the lack of hot water during my stay was quite frustrating, which detracted from the overall experience.

Our stay at the resort was a mixed bag. The villas we had were clean and comfortable, and the restaurant staff provided excellent service and delicious meals. However, the grounds felt a bit neglected, and the pool was not in great condition during our visit. The location was somewhat remote, requiring the use of a shuttle to access town, which could be a hassle in the heat. Overall, we enjoyed our time but hope for improvements on upkeep in the future.

My stay at Villas de Palermo was a mixed experience. The villas themselves were beautiful and offered stunning views, but the location was quite isolated and the shuttle service was not as frequent as expected. The restaurant was overpriced compared to dining options in town. Overall, if you seek quiet and lovely accommodations away from the hustle and bustle, this place may be ideal for you.

7.2/10

Staying at Villas de Palermo was overall a pleasant experience. The villas are spacious and clean, and the staff is exceptionally kind and welcoming. However, the steep slopes around the property can be quite challenging, especially with no lighting at night. The dining options, while decent, could use some improvement, and there were a few inconveniences with ordering room service due to the lack of phones in the villas.

Rooms

The property is set on steep hills, which offers great views but can be a workout to navigate. The shuttle service helps with getting to town, although it was less available than last year.

Dining

My stay at the resort was mostly enjoyable, with some highlights but also a few drawbacks. The villa we stayed in was clean and comfortable, providing a nice space to relax. However, I found the property itself a bit neglected, especially the gardens and pool area, which affected my overall experience. While the dining experience was fantastic with great food, the lack of maintenance in some facilities, especially the pool, was disappointing.

Rooms

The villa was clean and comfortable, but it felt a bit bland and left much to be desired in terms of decor. Some gaps in doors allowed for small creatures to come inside, which was surprising.

Service

8.0

The staff were friendly and accommodating. However, it seemed like they were stretched thin, especially after a busy season, so responding to some concerns took longer than expected.

Location

7.0

The location offered stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere, yet it is a bit removed from town, which made accessing local restaurants or activities more challenging.
