  The photos for this place DO NOT do it justice. It was HUGE and so fun to be at! The best part was how comfortable and classy it was. It managed to feel both luxurious and laid back at the same time. Beautiful, funky (original) paintings adorn the walls of both the shared spaces, as well as the bedrooms giving it a unique quality not usually found at luxurious condo rentals. The pool was fun during the day and the rooftop patio was an exceptional gathering spot complete with a lounge area for night-time cocktails. The breezes were plentiful both day and night, and we all enjoyed listening to the little tree frogs singing, "Coh-KEE Coh-Kee!" as we drifted off to sleep. We loved the location too. Not too far away from everything we were interested in seeing, yet far enough way so that we weren't directly affected by traffic or otherwise burdensome things. It was also very safe with a gated entrance that was staffed day and night. Overall, it was a wonderful place to stay and I'd recommend it highly to anyone. Maria was our main contact for this property, and she was INCREDIBLY attentive while we were there (sending a plumber when necessary, letting in a cake delivery without prior notice, helping out with directions or questions etc.), but in terms of making advance preparations (prior to arrival), another resource might have been additionally helpful, so plan on that as well if you're planning a trip here.

  Owner response: Molly, Susan and Family! I am so glad you had such a great time in Palmas del Mar. Thank you for all the nice comments. You were all wonderful! It was a pleasure hosting you. Hope to see you back soon! Regards, Maria

  Maria, I am sorry it took so long to write this, but I can not thank you enough for your lovely home and all the amenities! Our wedding was wonderful and your home made our reception even better! We have PLENTY of room in this house, and everyone in our group enjoyed themselves so much, we never wanted to leave. I found myself on the balcony at least 10 times a day enjoying the serenity and the beautiful plants and tree's everywhere. It was more than I would have ever expected, plus more .The pool was breathtaking, the rooms were so huge, and the space was incredible. The golf cart made it so convenient to drive around the Palmas, and we couldn't have asked for a better vacation. We will definitely come back to visit as soon as we can, thank you so much! Sincerely, Melody & Adrian

  Your home was perfect for our vacation. Plenty of room to gather as a large group but we could also retreat to our own space. We were very impressed with everything! We will surely recommend your house to anyone wanting to come to the area. Your lovely home made our trip so much more relaxing and enjoyable.

  We have had a wonderful time in your lovely home. We celebrated our mama’s 90th birthday with all the kids, grandkids, and 3 great grandchildren. There was plenty of room for all of us to be together, or find our own quiet place. And the beach and Beach Club were great! The pool is a great diversion! God bless you!

  We had a wonderful time here in your home. We tanned and went in the pool and to the beach. The golf cart was very useful. The kitchen and dinner table were great to have. The rooms were also very cozy. I will convince my parents to come back!

  We had a great time. We are five couples here to celebrate my wife’s 50th birthday and it was perfect. What a wonderful place to get away from the Minnesota winter. This place is ideal for a large group. The common areas are big enough that we could all be together, yet we also had places to retreat for reading or naps. Perfect! Thank you Maria for the birthday greeting. We had a blast!
