Las Palmas Villas & Casitas

THE GOOD||- This place is stunning!! The water views are incredible, the grounds are teeming with flowers, immaculately kept yet seemingly wild (in all the best ways). You can see the most gorgeous sunsets just sitting on your couch!||- This is an ideal spot if you'd like to be off the beaten path and closer to nature than a noisy town.||- The casitas and villas are tastefully decorated in a classy, local style, with just about the right amount of furnishings||- The air-conditioning works extremely well... And it is needed.||- There is a decently stocked kitchen and a full sized fridge ||- They supply unlimited, purified water in 5 gallon jugs – no disposable water bottles needed!||- There was a generous platter of fresh fruits (that lasted us 5 days) and a full bag of delicious organic coffee upon arrival||- There are two bathrooms! Even in the one bedroom Casita. Which unfortunately can comes in handy when traveling in Mexico. Each bathroom had abundant shampoo, conditioner, soap, and mosquito repellent.||- The maid service is extremely thoughtful and thorough. They anticipated our needs without us needing to ask even.||- You can hike down 10 minutes to an unspoiled, mostly empty bay beach with sometimes-amazing snorkeling||- Each Villa has an infinity pool overlooking the water and the Casitas all have access to one as well||- It's a $5/10 minute taxi to most places ||- The hotel is gated and feels fairly safe.||THE NOT-SO-GOOD||- The mattress is firm... like really firm. I personally prefer softer. I would probably request a mattress topper upon returning.||- There is no restaurant on site. ||- You can walk down to a local beach and get seafood which we found to be overpriced. ||- The hotel offers grocery shopping services, but with limited items and a $50 + 10% of the bill it's better to take a taxi to the supermarket and enjoy a huge selection of items.||- The hotel also offers cook services. They supply a menu, but you're responsible for paying for the food as well as the cooking. In the end, we didn't find this to be our best option.||- I highly recommend renting a car if you are staying here. Taxis were mostly convenient, but sometimes didn't show up on time when we needed them to the most.||-We had a couple of miscommunications about checkin and checkout times. You may wish to triple confirm those!||- The hotel recommends an expensive taxi service from the airport. For a third of the cost, you can walk 200 m down the street to catch a taxi. ||-I found it helpful to think of this place more of an Airbnb than a resort. They have services available, but it's not their primary focus. Their focus is the beautiful room and grounds they provide.||-Playa Violin unfortunately had a lot of trash floating around in the water and sometimes a lot of jellyfish! This has nothing to do with the hotel, though. It's just worth noting since it is one of the hotels' greatest advantages being just a few steps away from this beautiful beach!

Hands down the “best views” venue in Huatulco! We photographed C&B’s wedding weekend here, and it was stunning! Great blend of lush gardens, breathtaking views, cozy beach relaxing pools, with a mix of traditional Mexican style and modern design. And the size is ideal for an intimate destination wedding. That day started with some raindrops (summer season), but just before the ceremony, the sun broke through, blessing us with golden hour light. We used that breathtaking sunset over the Pacific for some couple’s photos after the ceremony, too. The atmosphere was ON FIRE - C&B’s festive crew of friends and their warm, loving families made every moment feel unforgettable. Overall we were there for all 3 days of wedding festivities: bachelor and bachelorette fun, a welcome dinner with mezcal tasting, and the big day itself. The staff of Las Palmas was incredibly kind and attentive all of the time - not just to the couple, but to us as photographers too. For a relaxed, traditional-Mexican-style beachfront wedding in Huatulco, this venue should be at the top of your list.

I booked our family vacation and stayed one week in June 2025. Hurricane Erik did skim by towards the end of the trip and we did lose power but the staff did as much as they could to help and make the best out of the trip. Take a few extra power banks for your cell devices. They do not have a generator. I would recommend 100% to anyone who is looking into a nice vacation with some of the best views.

My family and I stayed at turtle bay for a week in August . The place is absolutely stunning. The views are from a movie. The staff were all helpful and attentive. I would 100% recommend staying here . We love this resort

Our family really enjoyed staying at Las Palmas. The pool, patio and open living area were lovely, spacious and all with an ocean view! There was lots of room for the 12 of us to enjoy. Hallways and living areas were wide and displayed very nice art work with Mexican pottery and accents.||The bedrooms and bathrooms were fine and decorated nicely. However with two cots in some of the rooms for the kids it was a little cramped. We were under the impression that the cots could be set up in the hallway areas but they were all open to the air so were concerned about insects and rodents. The master bedroom was very nice. The linens and towels were good quality and the air conditioning in the bedrooms was excellent.||Jose at the concierge desk was so friendly and helpful ordering us cabs, making reservations and organizing tours for us. Such a pleasant man! Margarita the housekeeper did a wonderful job of cleaning and keeping our pool towels replaced each day. If the pool was getting a little cloudy the maintenance staff was right there to clear it up. The pool was a hit for us all.||We thought in general the villa was a bit dated and could use a bit of an upgrade. The one sink in the master bathroom did not work and the faucet had fallen off and was never fixed. One of the towel hooks by the pool kept falling off. One of the rungs on the ladder in the boys bunkbeds had fallen off. These kind of things were minor but it was noticeable. We were very busy and just never got around to reporting these things.||Our Chef Dolce Maria was such a lovely lady. The breakfasts and appetizers were very good and she tried very hard to get everything right for us and the kids even though there was a language barrier. The 3 suppers we had were not that great, a little bland and kind of all tasted the same. We had planned to eat out at restaurants as well so it was fine. The kitchen was cleaned up nicely after she left. But in general the kitchen could use an overhaul and some organization. We looked forever for a wine opener. We asked Sebastian but he couldn't find one so we ended up using our own. The outside of the dishwasher which I don't think worked was coated with grime the whole time we were there as well as some of the light switches by the pool.||It was great having the two beaches within walking distance and we really enjoyed them. Keep in mind if you want to go to town or other beaches you will need to get a cab if you don't have a car. A cab cost us on average about 80 pesos one way to various places. ||It was a memorable vacation for us all in Huatulco! The kids loved Lucy the parrot!!

Spent a week at Turtle Bay Villa which was amazing. Situated overlooking the bay and ocean was purely tranquil. 3 of the 4 bedrooms were spacious and comfortable with there own bathroom and shower. Hot water was spiritic and not always available in some rooms. Needs looking at. Only the bedrooms are air conditioned. The cleaner came in daily form 9-5 and made the place immaculate. We opted for not having the chef option. The pool was great. Only 4 loungers available. There is an outside shower which did have hot water. What was disappointing about the Villa was the appliances. Dishwasher not working. Unable to use the oven as knob broken. The 2 fridges were old and did not keep the food cold enough, so we had fresh food go off within 2 days. The outside BBQ was also old and only 1/3 of the burners worked. The Villa is a beautiful place to stay but let down by lack of expense spent on updating appliances. The walk to the beach is for fit and active people. Not suitable for disabled or people with heart conditions. You will need to utilize a car, taxi or mopeds to go any where. The concierge was great in arranging these things, as well as restaurant bookings. The majority of my family said there would stay here again if the appliances had been updated.

Our casita was nice and clean and very authentic Mexican which we liked , however just because it comes with a kitchenette it is in no way set up for cooking . Most of the cutlery was plastic and there were only a few frying pans and one very small pot . No can opener or bottle opener etc. No barbeques. |On the Parrots Pearch casita there is no shade . No umbrellas for the pool loungers . Full Sun all day . |The Front desk is right outside Parrots Pearch Casita and in front of the bathroom window so we could hear their voices very well so we figured if we can hear them then they are going to hear us go for a twinkle . |These negatives to us were not a big deal but considering this stay was not cheap at all we expected a little more luxury . To top it off when we checked out at 10:45 am ( check out was 11 am ) Hozay said to my husband “FINALLY” .. how rude is that ? My husband said what time is check out and he said 11 but we have people waiting to get into their room . I asked what time is check in ? He said 2 pm . |Again this is a nice accomo but for the price the kitchen should be stocked , there should be umbrellas for shade and we shouldn’t have been treated so rudely . We were quiet , kept to ourselves and tipped so no excuses .

Wonderful boutique hotel. This cliffside collection of villas is so quaint, calm and beautiful. Three distinct pools, each vill has at least one balcony and a rooftop sundeck. The staff is friendly and accommodating. Will look to return again in the near future.
