First of all the Palmilla resort area in general is beautiful. The pools are great, beach area is wonderful, and the restaurants were fantastic.
Pros: This condo in particular was really spacious and was well stocked extras kitchen/ bathroom wise (pots, pans, keurig, sandwhich bags, shampoo, towels, etc. ). It was very clean upon arrival from what we could tell. The patio is GORGEOUS. Huge and so nice to sit out at night. It is a second floor unit but there’s an elevator and stairs and it was not hard to get to. Guest services was really responsive. We were missing beach towels when we arrived and they had them delivered fairly quickly. They were also quick to answer questions. The sleeping areas are really great! Two king beds and a bunk bed in one bedroom made it so super easy to sleep with our littles in various arrangements.
Cons: upon arrival the WiFi immediately didn’t work. We asked guest services and were instructed to basically connect to the WiFi for unit above us which was ok, except at night when everyone was connected and so all the devices including the TV had trouble working. Neither of the TVs in the bedrooms would work. The bedroom with two beds we couldn’t find the correct remote to work the Roku (we tried them all and none seemed to work). The TV in the other room wouldn’t connect to the wifi for the other unit and so it also wouldn’t work. The condo is a hike from the beach access point. That’s obviously not something they can control more just something to be aware of. especially with littles, you are not walking it. Lastly we did end up finding two dead cockroaches and one alive one on our last night stay which sort of churned everyone stomach and just wasn’t the best note to end on.
Overall I really wanted to love this condo because it is quite lovely and spacious and very well stocked, but if I have to be honest I probably wouldn’t book this unit again specifically but would book again with Vacasa/ Palmilla in general.
