Casita Needs Un Poco Ayuda

Pros: Amenities at Palmilla Beach are great! We loved having two pools, multiple dining options, and the close proximity to the beach. We also felt like it was a great price compared to other nearby STRs. Cons: layout felt cramped - this house fits 6 but it’s a tight squeeze downstairs with the master and guest bedroom with a bunk (queen bottom/double top) connected by a small hallway with the washer/dryer closet, entrance, and staircase landing all in the hallway, major issues with fruit flies during our stay, and the house was not stocked for visitors - no pot holders or tools to wash our dirty dishes, k cup side of coffee maker didn’t work, upstairs living room has no privacy - no window covers/blinds. Overall we had a great time at Palmilla Beach and plan to return but if you’re considering staying at Vida Del Sol - I’d consider the points I brought up above and recommend it best for a party of 4 or less.

Wonderful home close to boardwalk!

This stay was so clean and modern. The master bedroom is small but the double Queen bunk bed room was spacious. The bunk beds were the most solid built bunk bed I’ve ever seen. Mattresses were very comfy and we’re used to tempurpedic!

Perfect getaway

This is the best resort hand down, on the island. Vida Del Mar was a perfect sized home for our family of 4. The location is walking distance to the beach, pool, and to Reds within Palmilla. The new pool opening next year is even close. Clean home, so well decorated, comfortable beds, pillows. Look forward to coming back soon.

Great location, beautiful decor, well stocked

This was a beautiful property in a fantastic location. It was decorated wonderfully, was fully stocked with everything we needed, and was close to all the amenities. Though it was meticulously clean, there was a very pervasive stench of cigarette smoke throughout the house which made it smell musty and smoky- even our clothes came home smelling like cigarettes. Despite that, we will definitely be booking to stay again next year because we had a fantastic time!

Perfect Size

Loved the location of this home! It was the perfect size for our family of 4. If you’re traveling with small children - just keep in mind that it doesn’t have bathtubs which makes it hard to bathe toddlers after a day at the beach! Lol! Other than that - we loved this home! It was very clean and we loved sitting on the balcony after dinner. :)

Two wonderful bedrooms and a combination living and kitchen upstairs utilize space well. For anyone to sleep on the sleeper sofa, be aware there are no window coverings upstairs.
