It doesn't get better than this! Beautiful PALMAS DEL MAR. The best Villa #140. Its truly a PARADISE. Every morning you wake up to the most beautiful sunrises, and then the day begins. Whether its tennis, swimming, golf,or just relaxing, its all at your finger tips, and don't forget the Casino steps away from the Villa. Here, is where you have it all! Rent a golf cart and go explore 3000 acres of undisturbed beauty.

Our family just spent a week at the villa and absolutely LOVED it. My wife and I travelled extensively before we had children and haven't let the four of them slow us down. This was, hands down, the best villa location in the best resort we have had the pleasure of visiting. The resort has everything you could want, for a romantic getaway or a dynamic family vacation. There was attention to every detail in our villa and the entire grounds of Palmas del Mar are immaculate. Being steps to the beach, a stroll to the Tennis Club, Golf course or Casino...your choice. All 4 kids loved the Beach Club and as parents we loved the full service available there. The gated resort has every service you could want and we had great meals at four different restaurants. The grocer onsite allowed us to outfit the villa to have some relaxing mornings over family breakfasts. For a fun outing I took my oldest 2 children hiking in the rainforest where we swam in a waterfall pool (about 40 minutes away). Seeing the sun rise over the offshore island or enjoying a beverage while watching the full moon through the waving palms this was a spectacular vacation. Thank you so much for sharing. WELL DONE JOLIE AND MARIA!!!

Mar … Paradise by the SeaHaving just returned from a seven day stay at Palmas Del Mar at the Beach Village, # 140 – and having just been able to catch my breath from the surrounding beauty within which I was immersed, I have to confess that Palmas has etched a very special place in my heart. Being no stranger to travel, Palmas’ magic swept me away.And why not! Listening to the Caribbean sea while having coffee and watching the sun rise, seeing the crescent moon making its way across the night sky with so many sparkling stars and being able to listen to the night sounds, one only can experience this incredible combination in Palmas. As I write this, I am sitting in the Villa, listening to the waves at the beach, which is steps away, watching the sun set and casting a pink glow on the billowy clouds – did I say magical earlier? I can’t wait for the chorus of the night to start singing.This, however, is just the tip of the ice berg. The golf courses are pristine, well manicured and world class. The tennis club is wonderfully staffed, has a great facility, in addition to having a great restaurant. Of course, if horses are your thing, the equestrian center is so well maintained, even if you don’t ride, stop by and check out the horses on the grounds – they are so beautiful. As for restaurants, you don’t have to go far to find excellent dining – from authentic local flavors to French dining, you can find it here – all within golf cart distance. Yes, you can rent a golf cart here as a means of transportation – fun!My favorite place, however, is the beach club – the pool is so beautiful: palm trees sprouting out and separating the lap pool area from the volley ball net and main pool, and the pool side service for snacks and, if you must, cocktails. Delicious.If you feel like exploring more of PR, you can check out the only tropical Rain Forest in the US National Parks system, lunch at Kiosk #2 at Loquillo Beach (great if your hungry after a hike in the Rain Forest), both are worth the trip as is Old San Juan, the Bacardi factory tour, the ferry ride to Culebra Island, and some of the local treats here in Humacao; all are easily accessible and make for a very memorable vacation. This is just a slice of my vacation, I’m sure if you choose Palmas Del Mar as your destination vacation, you will have your own magical stories to share!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Palmas Del Mar. The location of the villa wa spectacular, directly on the beach. The pool was across the street, and the tennis courts near by. All in all,a very relaxing and enjoyable time.

This condo is beautiful walk out right onto beach just a few feet. The View is magnificent. My husband and I sat on the beach under the moonlight at night. It was the most beautiful moon I've ever seen. We played Golf, laid by pool and dined at delicious resturants. Try a mojito at the beach bar. I enjoyed a relaxing massage on the beach under a tiki hut, while my husband relaxed on a hammock between two palm trees. I would highly recommend this place as a fun romantic get away.

Not to be biased, but I absolutely think Palmas Del Mar and particularly our villa is PARADISE. It is peaceful, tranquil and relaxing. The golf courses, beach club, yacht club, tennis and gym are just a few of the pleasures you can indulge in. Go, you'll love it!
