Jul 31, 2025Amazing, wonderful and also would come back to Palafitos!
The service of everyone is amazing, our butler Aldo was fabulous. Our driver Alberto was so friendly just superb! I would definitely suggest Palafitos to everyone looking for an amazing vacation. All the activities from parasailing to the cenotes to swimming with the dolphins to Mexican fiesta, snorkeling, nightly live music, swimming in the ocean just wonderful.

Booking again for sure!!
Everything was amazing!!! I am no princess but they all treated me as such. The room was clean and every extra detail was thought out. Rooms are quiet and with the private pool, sundeck, deck and steps to the ocean there is really no need to ever leave this resort! Being in direct connection with my butler's on WhatsApp made everything so easy and fast. Honestly of all I asked I never heard the word "no". I will MOST definitely return and may insist on William, Daniel and Eduardo being my butler's again! I was very emotional on arrival due to the recent loss of my mother and aunt and just needed to chill and heal. Palafitos and all of their staff helped make this happen. I feel amazing.

Perfect getaway!
Everything was perfect, the room was excellent the pools were great, the service……was absolutely exceptional! Alberto and Aldo are second to none. Extremely attentive and accommodating. We wanted for nothing the whole trip. Rafael is a genuinely excellent guy! He runs a beach like nobody’s business! He too took care of us at a very high level! Everyone there is vey nice, but my 3 amigos made sure we were always happy and taken care of! Can’t wait to see them again!

El Dorado Maroma Was Awesome!
Incredible food, views and staff made the experience great! Excellent Entertainment Team too! Shout out to Marco, Jerik and Mauricio! They were super fun and engaging and made the stay quite entertaining! The resort was small but perfect for a quiet getaway! Maroma Beach was awesome and very large with a lot of activities! The Wave runner and Catamaran Cruise with snorkeling was also included!
