Our Mothers Memorial

Nathalie (owner) you rock! This was our second time vacationing at the Palmas house and again we were not dissapointed. The pictures do not do it justice. It's that perfect and beautiful. There were so many touches that the are provided that make it a perfect vacation home: grills, coolers, beach toys, games, music, toiletries, books, wireless internet, too many to mention. If we had any questions, our answers were just a phone call away, as the owner and property manager were always available. The golf cart is a great plus, since you can literally pull up to the beach access in it.

There were however, some glitches, mostly minor: the heater in the spa was not working so we could not enjoy that ammenity. I hear that the owner plans to restore this sometime this fall. Also, the cable package available on the tv is the bare bones minimum offered by the local company. It only provides mostly Spanish-speaking channels and the American broadcast channels: eg NBC, ABC,CBS, PBS. There is no Nickeleodon, Disney,CNN,USA, ESPN, et. al. I have suggested to the owner that she consider upgrading her package, as having childrens television is a very handy thing to have when there is down time and you have young children along. There is no Blockbuster nearby, although the local Walmart has a Redbox.

All in all, it was another great vacation and we look forward to returning, hopefully next year!

We really loved the house, it provided comfortable living arrangements and was beautifully decorated. Our only problem was that no one told us that the beautiful jacuzzi featured in the pictures would not be working when we got there. :( Make sure that people know ahead of time what things are and aren't working, that was an unfair surprise.

What a great house and great location. Our party of nine consisted of 5 adults and 4 children ages from 2-9. We loved the house and all the extra amenities the owners add. From lotions, soaps, towels, beach chairs, coolers, you name it, the house had it! The pool and hot tub were a big hit for the whole party, especially after the kids went to bed and the adults could unwind! We highly recommend the house to all age groups.
We used the golfcart daily and rented another one thru Target, who delivers right to the house. The kids loved exploring the area and playing in the surf! Our group took road trips to the Rainforest, and the popular beaches on the east coast, but Palmas had the best beach, with the bar and music. Halfway thru the week, we decided to stay in Palmas because it had everything we were looking for!
Many thanks to the property managers who all were very friendly and quick to respond to our needs. One night the grill ran out of propane right before we threw the steaks on and we had difficulty with the replacement tank. Within 15 minutes a maintenance man was at the door and got us cooking again. Another time the hot tub was not hot and Tony the Pool guy had it fixed by the time we got back from a roadtrip, boy was that relaxing!
Our group can not say enough!
Once again, this was a great house with alot of extras that made it feel like home. We highly recommend it!
Thanks for making our first Puerto Rico trip great!!!!!!

Our party of 10-two families, with kids age 2-18-had the most wonderful vacation in Puerto Rico. The house was just wonderful and came with just about everything you would have in your own home. We only left the gated community once in 8 days. The beach was just minutes away in the golf cart and the sand and water were beautiful! Our kids were in the pool most all everyday, all day. The house is VERY family friendly-watch out for wet feet on marble floors though! I would highly recommend this to any family with any age kids. We really were able to relax and enjoy every moment. Just beautiful!

Our vacation in Palmas del Mar was just fabulous.The villa was just lovely with our own pool and hot tub. The beach was wonderful. Not crowded at all, warm, beautiful water. Excellent vacation destination for kids. Highly recommended!

This home was all that it was described to be and more. This was our first family trip to the island and ages ranged from as young as 8 months to ???, but we all had a great time. Everything that you need is there for you, any comfort feature that could be imagined was covered. We
traveled all over the eastern part of the island from San Juan,Luquillo, Fajardo, El Yunque and all was within 40-45 minute drive. We would recommend your home without hesitation and look forward to visiting again in the near future.

From the moment you drive up to the property you know you are in for a good time. Its located on a culdesac so there's lots of privacy. The yard allthough sloped is enormous. The view is awsome and once the area is totally devoloped it will only get better. When you walk in to its luxurious bathrooms and its modern kitchen you realize that pictures do not do this house justice. The pool area with its outdoor kitchen, dinning and full bathroom made it the perfect place for our family reunion. The house is equiped with every imaginable accessory you made need while in the house or for when you go out. It was 97 deegrees the day we arrived. The breeze you get from the sea made it so that we can sit out side through the whole night if we wished. Because of this, no bugs bother you. There were just a couple of things that did not go our way. First the Electricity went out on us one day for 12 hours. The owner had just purchased a brand new state of the art back up generator to compensate for when such ocassions occur. Unfortunately it was not working. Maintenance was inexeperienced and could not get it going. The second issue is that there are no TVs in the bedrooms. With so many children and teenagers durring our stay it would of helped if there were one in each room.

Suggestion to future renters: Bring Laptops and use them as DVD Players. The home has an assorted variety of movies on DVD. If not, suscribe to a service like Netflix.

These were minor issues in our opinion. We hope the generator matter is taken care of by now.

With all we enjoyed the property thoroughly and can't wait to go back. This is trully a great place to rent for vacation.

PS: The golf cart is a little slow.

The home is every bit as nice as it's description and more.
The owner was extremely helpful and accomodating. The beach is great for sunbathing and is close by. With the golf cart that's made available to us, getting aroud Palmas was a breeze. The restaurants in the area are all very good. We also barbecued a lot and took advantage of the outdoor dining facility. Having our own pool and jacuzzi is also a plus. It's great relaxing around the pool and jacuzzi after a day at the beach or golf while waiting for dinner on the grill. We had such a great relaxing vacation nobody wanted to leave. The weather was perfect everyday, lo 80's
with a nice breeze. We were very surprised at the lack of bugs at night. We would rent this house again in a heart beat.
Almost forgot to mention the 2 great golf courses that we played on. The staff were extremely nice and the facilities were gorgeous. Night life is definitly lacking for our college kids and their friends but they didn't mind it at all. They all came home with a great tan.
