This trip was for a romantic getaway for my girlfriends 50th birthday. It far exceeded any expectations we could have had. From the minute we got picked up by Alberto, who was an amazing recourse, we were taken care of and pampered. Everyone was so friendly, welcoming and truly made you feel like you were family. Our butler service was exceptional! Pilar/Yasser/Liz were available whenever we needed them. Big or small every request was taken care of! The food was 5star and incredible. We ate and drank too much, but loved every minute of it. Our service staff at the restaurant, Ulysses, Christian, Patricia with more were outstanding! Our massage at the spa was incredible with Ange and Blaee. This place is heaven. We had the trip of a lifetime!
Beach was exceptional, never having to look for a spot

Unique was only restaurant at Palafitos Ocean was not swimmable and smells around the area on the beach not so good ( poor conditions in that department), room didn’t have iron, around the pool no one is asking for drinks, cleanliness at the pool poor.

This property is breath taking and the hospitality from start to finish was completely unmatched. We stayed 4 days at the palafitos and 3 at xcarat. Palafitos was by far our favorite place and most memorable given the staff and all around service. We can’t wait to come back for a full week next time!!
