We just returned from a 4 night stay in Villa Las palmas 23 and enjoyed it very much. The villa is newly remodeled and updated, modern, quality furnishings, decor and details. The original unit we rented is next door and undergoing renovations, so I had not seen photos of this unit (newly finished) and trusted Suzanne it would be perfect...which it was. The construction from Villa next door was not an issue, and the crew was courteous and did not negatively impact our stay as promised.
The villa was perfect for 3 couples, although there is a significant difference between the view in bedroom 2 and 3, and our friends swapped rooms midway through trip to "even" things out. Having 2 double beds in the second bedroom was not an issue for our friends, but might be if you need or prefer 3 Kings. Linens, towels, pillows very nice quality, beds were typical from our experience in Mexico, very "firm" and not particularly comfortable.
We had use of a 6 person golf cart which was essential for getting around the area. We enjoyed both golf courses (Pacifico and Bahia), took our shots at the "Tail of the Whale", spent time at Kupuri Beach Club (not our favorite-too many bees and water had a lot of debris) and Sufi Ocean Club (no beach but nice pool and service). We enjoyed hanging out on the patio and watching the lightening storms come through at night. The pool was a nice feature, but most days as warm as a bathtub, so cooling off was best done in the air conditioning!
The concierge, Max Meza, was excellent and helpful throughout our stay. We had a power outage to the area and unable to get the golf cart out of the garage. They gave us the housekeepers cart for 4, and took the other 2 over in their private car to the beach club. When power came back on, they brought our golf cart for us to get back on our own. Extremely accommodating, helpful with reservations (expect tee times which is done through email and the clubhouse), great housekeeping staff (offered and made us fresh guacamole and salsa from our grocery supplies-delish!) and cleaned the house thoroughly everyday. Best dinner in the area was Sufi restaurant (they made a delicious carrot cake for my husbands 60th birthday). We also secured a wonderful Chef, Celcilia Avalos (achefinsayulita@gmail.com), who did a lovely job with dinner our first night and a brunch.
Overall, a wonderful stay and way to celebrate my husbands 60th birthday! Look forward to coming back soon!
