Our family of 5 recently stayed at this beautiful villa. We were actually a little concerned with our extended stay because it was longer than we normally vacation. My husband wanted to make sure that we had a villa big enough that if we experienced any tense moment, everyone would have space of their own. This villa was so spacious, that we never felt cramped or that the walls were closing in. The villa was stocked with everything that we needed for our stay from the kitchen, showers, laundry room to beach towels and sunscreen. (unlike past condos where you had to bring your own) This made out travel much easier. Upon arrival, we were greeted with a wonderful bottle on wine on the kitchen counter. The kitchen windows open to the balcony which creates a great atmosphere for preparing meals. The view from the balcony was amazing. The pool, grounds and ocean were beautiful. We enjoyed walking around The Marabella Club in the morning. The only disappointment was that we when visited, there was no beach. There was so much erosion that the beach was gone and some palm trees were actually falling into the water. Things are being done to try to stop the erosion, but this is a natural beach. It was actually kinda neat learning about the erosion and watching it happen. Not having a beach, didn't stop us. There is so much to do at Palmas, we walked about 10 minutes to a access that lead to a beach, spent the day there, again beautiful! My girls and I went all over Palmas the day before we left and I took pictures of them, I have some gorgeous memories. I can not say enough about Elaine. She answered question after question and the week before our arrival, she sent so much information that I had no more questions left. She gave us her cell number and I did have to contact her about a minor issue, which she promptly answered. She even offered to send her husband to help with it but we figured it out through messages. We loved this location and villa! Already planning our next visit.
