One of the best vacations we’ve experienced! The minute we stepped on the property they strived to please and serve. One of the friendliest places, immaculate grounds and property and we’ve traveled a lot! The accommodations were exactly as described and views of the Sea of Cortez were phenomenal. We enjoyed the Sear restaurant several times and the waiter offered to show us the kitchen after our meal. That was a sweet surprise, but at every turn there were surprises and sweet gifts given to us. Oh, the spa is amazing! We enjoyed the walkable beach and whale watching from our veranda plus at breakfast each morning. We will definitely go back! In fact, it may become an annual destination for us based on the experience this week. Love this place!!!

The property is beautiful, quiet, classy, and very private. It’s felt a bit isolated for me personally but if you are looking for pure relaxation and no excitement or entertainment it’s the perfect place to vacation. I will definitely be back, however it will be based on my mood and what I’m looking for in a vacation.

We had a wonderful trip to the One and Only Palmilla. This was our fourth time there, and it is our favorite place in Cabo. It is the staff that make this place so special. Everyone says hello and look genuinely happy to be there! They make you feel so welcome. Ramiro, Fabiola, and Solomon in the Aqua restaurant took great care of us, and Cesar and Guillermo were great hosts! We loved the fabulous breakfasts, Aqua, the fitness center, juice bar, and spa. We will for sure be back to visit!
