Absolute Perfection
Pros:Close restaurants, Free Internet, Quiet, immaculately clean, no bugs
Our Palmillas experience began the moment we stepped out of the airport. We were transported by hummer to the resort and felt immediately cared for. The resort was immaculate! Not a bug or weed in sight, the beautiful gardens blooming, doves cooing and everything clean and hygienic. The staff were gracious, polite and detail oriented, always prepared to care for you and get you anything you wanted or needed without being overwhelming.
Our room was gorgeous and it was above the beautiful, swimmable beach. We had panoramic views of the bay and the sound of the waves right outside. Our bed was super comfortable and clean (down pillows yeah!). The bathroom was vast, luxurious and well appointed. On the second day, I found a sewing kit that had been tailored to the colors of my wardrobe! The attention to detail was evident everywhere. Nothing was short of luxurious and everything was maintained perfectly. There were little, carved wooden blocks you could set out by your sun lounger which signaled to the staff whether you wanted to sleep, be left alone or needed service. The same system worked on the beach using flags. Every day there were ice buckets with water, cooling, aloe facial mist, and small treats like sorbet or mini ice creams were handed out. The food was really good, especially the Cevice and fish dishes, all made with such fresh ingredients it was like a party in your mouth!
Nighttime was ultra romantic with soft lighting along the pathways, beautiful ambiance in all the eaterys and again, warm, attentive staff at every turn.
Some say this place is ‘over priced’. Yes, it’s expensive, but we have stayed at ‘The Tides’ in Playa Del Carmen and ‘The Ritz Carlton’ in the Grand Cayman, both were comparable pricewise and Palmillas blew them out of the water! It was worth every dollar and far exceeded our expectations. For those who want to go and save money, the breakfasts are huge and could easily be shared. You can also cab very easily into San Jose Del Cabo and dine in the town for less. We did this a few times and it was very enjoyable.
I can’t say enough about this luxury resort, it was perfect!

Luxury
We took our young kids 3 & 5 and had a very relaxing time. The staff is very accomodating. You'll feel like you are on their own compound. Very safe and secure. Always a staff around even in the early dark morning hours on the grounds keeping it up. If you want a luxury feel at a very upscale place then this is the place. We saw 1 singer and 1 celebrity at the pool with their kids but everyone respects their privacy.

Best hote ever!
My wife and I traveled here for our 12th anniversary in September and we are still raving about it. There is not one thing I would change! By far the service is the most attentive and outgoing of any 5 star hotel I have ever stayed. The grounds are manicured perfectly. The staff all know your name and there is nothing you can't ask them that they would not do. The Villa's are incredible with amazing fews, ample space and the best bathroom I have ever been in. This hotel thinks of everything! The food was also incredible. We will be back!

Heaven on Earth
The One and Only in Palmilla is the ultimate in luxury. The rooms are stunning, the service is incredible (you walk around and they respond to you by your last name) and don't miss Agua by Charlie Trotter. He has two restaurants here, but I liked Agua better due to its ambiance and its food selection. Plus the prices aren't as steep!

The best!
This was the first stop of my honeymoon, before heading to Asia's best hotels. And none of the 8 other hotels we visited compared to this one. This has got to be the best hotel we've stayed in ever! And the food is exquisite.
Simply walk outside to feel the sun on your face at the white sand beach. Hit the beach and work on your tan in the sun loungers (chaise longues) or relax in the shade with complimentary cabanas and umbrellas. At One&Only Palmilla, Los Cabos you can cool off in one of the 2 outdoor swimming pools and indulge in a pampering afternoon at the full-service spa. There are 4 restaurants on site, along with a snack bar/deli. You can enjoy a drink at one of the bars, which include a swim-up bar and a bar/lounge. WiFi and wired Internet are free in public spaces. This luxury resort also offers a complimentary children's club, a children's pool, and outdoor tennis courts.
