Overall, I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The rooms are clean and spacious, with a lovely view of the bay and the sunset, but they could use a bit of an upgrade. The staff here is very friendly and accommodating, which made my experience enjoyable. The location is fantastic, as it's close to shopping, restaurants, and the beach. However, the dining options were somewhat repetitive, and the facilities could be improved in certain areas.

I had a decent stay at this hotel. The ocean view from my balcony was stunning, and I appreciated the friendly staff's efforts to make it a fun experience.

The hotel offers a great beachside location perfect for relaxation and partying, and the entertainment staff made our stay more fun. However, I had some serious issues with the room assignment process and ended up with a noisy room overlooking a bar. The service started off rocky, but things turned around after that. Overall, it was an average experience with some highlights and some frustrations.

Rooms

I was really disappointed when I found out my standard room was in a separate building, far from the main amenities. It overlooked a restaurant bar, and it was quite noisy, especially at night. On the bright side, I did enjoy a nice view from the ninth floor.

Service

The service left much to be desired at first, and I almost left the hotel. However, once I settled in, the staff became more helpful, offering fun activities at the beach. Despite that initial hiccup, they did have a variety of amenities available.

The location is absolutely unbeatable if you love the beach. It's great for swimming and offers a festive atmosphere with music playing everywhere. Getting around was also easy since they were happy to call cabs for us.

Dining

Dining options were pretty decent, with a lot of variety at the Palmar, but I didn't think they were anything extraordinary. I was expecting a bit more in terms of selection.

The facilities were generally good, especially the pool area, but I wish they would have had more lounge space for relaxing.
