Villa 29 is absolutely perfect! The Palms is a magical, secluded, peaceful place. The villa itself is stunning, immaculate and spacious, with high-end, very comfortable furnishings. Luxury kitchen appliances, wet bar, coffee bar in the bedroom - Mike and Julia have thought of everything. Its location in the complex is ideal: closer to the pool and beach, with beautiful sunset views from the patio, living room, and primary bedroom and balcony. We loved the tropical garden walkway to the villa, and our daughter and son-in-law enjoyed the privacy of the second bedroom balcony and lush foliage.
The grounds, pools and beach are pristine. Service is excellent. 24 hr. security, gate guard, concierge, staff, Anthony at the pool bar, housekeeping, and Janet for beach massages - everyone is exceptional. Owners are welcoming and friendly. We shared many spectacular sunsets, tropical drinks in hand, at the infinity edge pool and beach.
We took advantage of the grocery delivery service and had groceries and wine delivered prior to arrival to get us through the first day. Highly recommend Chef Leo who prepared a fantastic private dinner in our villa: best ceviche on the planet, delicious surf and turf, and amazing Bananas Foster prepared tableside. Beachfront Coco Loco next door has great food and vibes, and also delivers to The Palms.
Mike was incredibly responsive, ever-so-patient, and super helpful ahead of time answering questions and providing golf, surf lessons, restaurant and car rental recommendations.
The Palms and Villa 29 is the best beachfront property in Hawaii, Mexico, and the Caribbean that we've visited. We rarely return to the same place twice, and now we cannot imagine going anywhere else. Back soon! Thank you, Mike and Julia!
