We had such a great experience here. Highly recommend. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel special and happy. The Japanese restaurant is SO good. Love that there’s a Starbucks there. The pool is awesome. We loved Villa 1. Literally come back in 2 months.

Our check in was welcoming, other then that poor customer service. Shuttle bus touch forever to pick us up and we were waiting under the heat. Shuttle bus driver not friendly @all. Palmera Pool very poor quality of service from both bartenders and the only server serving a (lady), the pool area very rude all 3 of them. African lady providing the towels was the only associate that provided us with EXCELLENT SERVICE. Check out assistant - was like a machine, asking for the key and providing the final bill, but there was no guest interaction at all. Supervisor was made aware of our HORRIBLE experience. It seemed like she didn’t mind listening to our concerns. Never adjusted anything due to all the inconvenience. I would not recommend this property.

Loved our unit and the property. However, was very disappointed that our room was ready an hour and half late, pushing our check in time to 5:30 PM! Felt like I was paying just to sleep there and not stay there. To make matters worse, they didn’t tell us about the late check in until we got there, affecting our entire travel day

I did not like my room, as I need to change it to a different room because of the balcony was very dark terrible looking we received a handicapped room which we did not like at all, but we took it in order not to start a problem. Also the issue of not being able to have a late check out they denied us they were not so friendly. I would not stay there again never.

I enjoyed my stay. The staff was friendly although check-in was a little slow. The amenities are great . The pool areas might not be to close to your room but still most of the time parking near was available as a lot of people walk. The other amenities are very close to the room. Everything works well in the room and was clean enough. I recommend this to families they have a store whit a lot of stuff even a Starbucks inside.

Frustrating experience re room access
First off I'll start by saying that I did not know this was a time share. It took a little time finding the check in location. The room was clean, with ample lighting. I liked the little patio and full size refrigerator. My friend & I were able to enjoy the hot tub. The pool was a little too chilly for us. The next morning we walked over to the JW Marriott before our noon checkout. It is beautiful. I quickly regretted not booking there. When we returned to our room (at 10:30 am) to pack up, our key card didn't work. At first I thought that it was a mistake- that the door was locked based on a 10:00 checkout. I went to the lobby (which is a completely separate building) for assistance. Christian apologized & reactivated my key card. I went back to the room... and still couldn't get in! I phoned and spoke with someone who said it was probably the battery in the door lock. She was sending someone over. We waited before returning to the lobby. Now there was a line that I had to wait in. When I finally got up to the counter, I was informed that a new battery was placed in the door lock after I left for my second trip to the lobby. This issue cut into our packing time. I asked if our checkout time could be extended. After all, a dead battery was on them, not me. It was a big inconvenience- 50 minutes were wasted! I was told it could not. No attempt to right this wrong! We rushed to meet the noon deadline, and the cleaning person was ringing the doorbell at 11:58! I won't return.
