Wonderful Palmaya Getaway!
Our recent vacation in Palmaya was truly lovely, largely thanks to this exceptional hotel. The services were consistently excellent, and we were so impressed by the friendly and polite staff who made us feel incredibly welcome. The balanced, plant-based food was a delightful surprise, always fresh and delicious.
We especially enjoyed the beach bar, which offered a wonderfully friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Argenis, the bartender, deserves a special mention for his professionalism. He possesses a remarkable talent for mixing well-balanced cocktails that are both delicious and beautifully presented. He also thoughtfully prepared a special tea for us. We had a great time and highly recommend this resort to anyone visiting Palmaya.!

A beautiful modern facility carefully blended into the surroundings incorporating natural and interesting sinkholes, a long sandy beach, and winding walkways.
Delicious food with five restaurant options to suit your mood of fine or casual dining with fresh, organic plant-based ingredients.
Easy for both adults only as well as families with separate building to allow quiet space.
I can’t wait to return!

Amazing all-inclusive paradise
We had an amazing stay. Everything was perfect. Beautiful room. Beautiful amenities. Incredible food, including vegan and non-vegan. Great cocktails and mocktails, all included in the price of the stay. We can't wait to come back and will probably bring our kids next time.
Special mention to Reyes at Charlie's Vegan Taco Truck and Danny at the beach bar.

Absolutely fabulous!
This is our fourth time staying at this hotel. It has become our yearly spot for refreshment, rejuvenation, stillness, and well-being. We have absolutely no complaints. The grounds are beautiful, the architect of life activities are fabulous. The rooms are spectacular and incredibly comfortable and fully stocked. The food is absolutely fabulous, including the environment of the restaurants. The service is impeccable and the beaches are well-maintained. Definitely appreciate the silence and that this truly is a resort, dedicated to well-being and cultivating wellness into our lives each year. We will be returning next year 100%.
