    Nothing!

    Having stayed at various One and Only’s across the world we were especially looking forward to a relaxing stay at Palmilla. It exceeded our expectations and more. The natural beauty of the location and the staff at this property are second to none. Like other O&O hotels the grounds are kept in pristine condition and room furnishings very comfortable and in keeping with surroundings. Every single staff member we came into contact with were fantastic. Big thanks to Butlers Jonathan and Enrique who couldn’t have been more helpful and accommodating and thanks to Carlos and Alfonso on the private dining team. If relaxed luxury is what you’re looking for look no further than O&O Palmilla. Very much looking forward to returning in the future.

    This hotel is incredible. The location, ambience and service is faultless. Stayed for 5 nights in late July with 2 (late) teen boys and we were all blown away. Probably the most special place we have ever stayed. With the most exquisite attention to detail and staff.

    AC didn’t work properly the first night, they said it was repaired during the day, had to call them back and then it was repaired.

    Breakfast was wonderful. Staff is very attentive. Property is immaculate and beautiful.

    Food prices are extremely high and, at Suviche, not remotely commensurate with the quality.

    We had an issue with the air con in our room on the third night, they moved us to another room but unfortunately the shower had a tiny issue. They ended up upgrading up to a huge one bedroom suite for the rest of our stay to apologise for the inconvenience. To be honest. We were happy with our room. It was beautiful but we didn’t need a colder unit as it’s was 39 degrees. It was a very minor issue that was sorted immediately.

    Superb location, beautiful surroundings. The food is out of this world. The staff do their very best to make sure you are comfortable and attentive to your needs. The pool the beach, the vibe is outstanding. I can’t recommend this hotel enough. You have to try the ceviche trio, yummy. The cold plunge became my favourite morning routine. It’s a must try.

    Some things were a tad expensive, unnecessarily so. A small glass of milk delivered to the room for our baby was $45 USD. When I complained, they cancelled it off the bill, but something like that I’d expect for free when paying so much to stay here.

    It was perfect. Every amenity you could want with the friendliest staff I’ve ever met

    It was annoying to have the pool, restaurant, or bar mangers come to our table and query us. The service was always good, and this extra touch by the mangers was not necessary and too much.

    Facility, food, drink, and staff were all excellent. We especially enjoyed our personal hosts Salomon, Jesus, and Irving.
