Las Palmas by the Sea Category 4 stars

lousy food, cheap booze (probaly poison),very old, the workers went through your room when you weren't there, even though we had a do not disturb sign.
Pay an extra $100 and go somewhere else. We ended up spending an extra $2000 on food downtown. Which was excellent.

I went there for my honeymoon 10 years ago the place was superb, lovely rooms, excellent food, warm friendly staff with a second to none position right on the beach. My memories of the hotel and Puerto Vallarta itself will last me a lifetime. Certainly longer than my first marriage anyway!!!! I re married 2 years ago and was going to recommend Las Palmas for the honeymoon this time, but this was deemed not a good idea (probably wise) but joking aside i would certainly recommend the hotel and resort to anyone

We stayed at the las palmas by the sea hotel in january 08. We had a good time in puerto vallarta but there were a few things that realy put a down side on the trip. For one, the beds were rock hard and the food was not good. they say it's for kids but we took our kids who are 12 and 10 but they would not let them in certain pools or the hot tub.The staff were nice and got us what we wanted. The entertainment was horrible and I would not reccomend this hotel to anyone.

Everyone that worked there was lovely. The hotel was very clean and the food was excellent. I recommend this place to anyone looking for a romantic time with their significant other.

I took my family to las palmas 6 years ago, when the boys were 7 and 8..we are going back this year..the only place they wanted to stay was at the las palmas..The boys met friends their own age and the staff even had tanner help "work" the bar with him for an hour..lol

highly reccommend to anyone going to pvr

It's a great place Friendly staff Clean and relaxing. It's our yearly Getaway .If you like a place where you get a real feel of Mexico and not just a high class SOCIAL Resort This is the Place We Highly recommend Las Palmas By The Sea

I had an amazing time at Las Palmas. My friend and I loved the staff because they were all very friendly and they helped us out with any problems we had to the best of their ability. A lot of the staff would come and talk to you and make you feel welcome. They were very enthusiastic and my friend and I even made some friends with some of the staff. This hotel has a good location and is a short distance away from the airport, marina, downtown and it’s right on the ocean. The rooms were cleaned every day and nothing went missing. They had fun activities for everyone and everyone seemed to get along really well. Some of the food was kind of gross but there was some really good food there as well. The hotel its self is nice, with its palm tree leave roofs outside and the pools were kept really clean with lots of places to sit and relax. The beach is kind of small but you can walk a short distance to get to bigger sections of beach. I would recommend this hotel to anyone.

I just came back with my best friend from PVR after spending two wonderful weeks at the Las Palmas and have nothing horrible to say. To be seriously honest... for such a place that was once under nothing but sand and water after the hurricane swept through... you couldn't tell... the staff are wonderful and at your needs. The rooms were always clean. The friendliness is like a breath of fresh air around there. I absolutely loved my stay. Its great for couples, families and young adults wanting to have fun... Don't believe it if someone writes a bad note saying the music blares early in the morning... whats early?? 12 noon? Gosh sorry you're only starting your day now!! The food was great, hospitality was 100%, pool water clean and everyday attended. You all have my 2 Thumbs up... I would go back ten times over.. and for those of you going in the near future... Have the best time of your lives... Don't forget to visit the local animal zoo... Precious moments!

We had such a wonderful time at Las Palmas. From the moment we arrived to our room to experiencing the food and the staff and just the surroundings - we were very impressed and just happy to spend such a wonderful week which was so worth the money. The staff is very friendly and makes every attempt to keep you entertained. They have themed events every day and activites displayed on the activity board. The beach is right in front of you and the sound of the waves just calms and relaxes you in the evenings. You are right off the main street and can walk to downtown or to the Marina. There's a Starbucks 5 minutes away from the place if you walk :) We also have a 1 year old and we were a little weary about how she would react. She loved the water and the staff prepared any food we requested for her. They even cleaned her baby bottles every morning! This place can be perfect for the family or even if you are going just as a couple. There are massages you can have on the beach, you can go on romantic cruises or even on an adventure trip such as treking in the mountains. There are some many things you can do that everyone in your group is happy. Las Palmas can coordinate any activities for you and is a VERY clean facility. Our rooms were refreshed every morning and the food and beverage was great!

this was my first trip out of the country...i went with my boyfriend and 2 girlfriends. We went in february for reading break and got our moneys worth. when we got to the hotel we were suppossed to get our rooms at 2 and we didnt get them till 5. therefore when we tried to book the a la carte dinner that day the guy was not there. Then every other day we went to book and he was never there. when we finally got the chance to see him, everything was booked and we did not get our a la carte dinner. this was very disappointing as we paid for this service. the cash bar at 11 pm sucked because really the night is young when in mexico. also the cleaning staff was very slow, but did a good job in the end. Also in brochures it doesn't tell you that you have to pay extra for the safe which you do. the food was decent every night and we only went out one night because we didn't like the food. the entertainment staff was great, good shows! The actitivies booth was highly over rated since these young guys would just grind up on these old ladies. also it sucked that the restaurant closes at 10pm. you should be able to get what you want, when u want. the snack bar was amazing, i would recommend the burger and fries. *had one each day :S* the restaurant staff was always cheerful and also asked the vital question at 7 am (senorita, would you like tequila?) overall minus some of the staff we liked this resort, although the beach is very small and dirty from garbage and trash. please do activities from the hotel, we did the kontiki tour and the atv zipline combo--THE BEST TIME OF MY LIFE!
