Villa del Palmar Vallarta

Just returned from 5 weeks at UVC resorts 3 weeks at Villa del Palmar, 1 week Palmar Flamingos and 1 week Del Mar. My impression on arrival and the total length of our stay was how absolutely clean ALL the areas of the resort were. During our stay we had several first time guests visiting and they commented several times on the appearance, upkeep, and cleanliness of the grounds and condo. We actually found the Palmar condo cleaner than Flamingos and better equpped. Upgrades are continuous each season. Yes, one could arrive just as lights need upgrading, or fan needs repair...just call front desk and it will be replaced or repaired. Yes, if you are there during a high season week.. you may have to call a 2nd time. I have had fridge freezer door replaced, exchanged for cleaner couch, etc. They, need to know if something is not right and will replace or fix. If you are worried about the marble floors and your feet wear flip flops. All Mx, tile/marble floors are magnets to dust/dirt. We have been owners since 1986 and now our family, into the 3rd generation, is enjoying all the benifits of the property and its location as a 2nd home, or well deserved holiday week (s). And, the attitude of all the staff; housekeeping, front desk, bell boys, on site entertainment (bit lound for us oldtimers mid afternoon) is great...all ways cheerful and welcoming and wanting to please their guests... an attitude we try to also reciprocate as guests in their city. We look forward to our return this winter and 'the kids' really like the hype of 'spring break weeks' and so do their friends and families, who, after renting at other resorts in the area, say "The Palmar/Del Mar" has the best of everything we need on vacation and have confirmed condos.

We really had a great time with my brother and mother (first time aftem my chilhood years that we did travell all together again) The place is great and clean We did bought 2 weeks after leaving ....One for me and one for my brother We hope to visit the place again soon Hope and wish you that you will have the same good time like I did with my familly Thank you for reading and TRUST ME if you plan to visit Mexico this is a great DEAL!

We have owned and used this resort for 20 years and continue to enjoy the facility year after year. The staff is friendly and helpful, the suites are kept in top condition; the views are lovely from all but perhaps 1-2 % of the suites, the restaurant does a fine job with the food (the Americana is also next door with lovely walking areas and excellent restaurants), the entertainment has always been delightful and the resort is convenient to trips downtown as well as the airport-all making for an excellent value and a wonderful family vacation. If you decide you wish to talk to a knowledgeable sales-person who does not pressure you about purchasing, we also recommend talking to Mark Baker, a native Washington state guy who has moved to Puerto Vallarta and loves it.

We visited this resort in February 2006 and again October 2006. During our February trip, the floor in our unit was so dirty that we had to keep shoes on our little ones or their feet would be black from the dirt even after the maids had mopped. During our October visit our unit had a terrible ant problem in the kitchen and a women thought she needed to rid herself of her tan lines by removing her top at the pool. This is supposed to be a family friendly resort but I could get no help from the staff to get the women to put her top back on while we were at the pool with our small children. We love PV but don't care for this resort so we purchased at another resort down the street and doubt we'll ever be back to VDP Puerto Vallarta. And I agree with other postings that this resort is in serious need of renovations.

Close to downtown restaurants and entertainment but you are in a relaxed beach atmosphere.Good health club with nice friendly staff. BBQ area is fun.We loves relaxing at the various pool areas. Walking distance to a huge supermarket and other interesting stores.. In fact we did not need to rent a car. Bus and cabs are very accessible.
