Villa Paladin is truly one of our best vacations ever. Our travelling group consisted of 2 families, each with 3 children aged 4-14. The layout of the villa is impeccable. It is obviously designed by a very skilled architect, and you will wonder at the thought and care that went in to this place. The guest rooms are all well spaced out from each other, so noise is never an issue. All guest rooms have king or queen beds (apart from the bunk room) and ensuites, and are beautifully decorated and comfortable. The outdoor living spaces under the massive palapa (thatched roof) are really where Villa Paladin amazes you. I would often gaze up and wonder at the construction of such an immense palapa; it's like the best treehouse in the world. What is so impressive is that there are so many different areas for hanging out; all are nicely spaced out, but within sightlines of each other, so you have a fantastic combination of space and social interaction. There are 2 dining areas, 3 sitting areas, the bar, the pool and the loungers. For our families, it was perfect. The pool would be a little on the small side for a large group of adults, but for 6 kids, it was perfect. It is a great plunge pool for adults, and our kids enjoyed it immensely. The staff at the villa were fantastic. Ana and her crew prepared wonderful meals for us daily, catered to everyone's tastes, and even prepared for us some crazy pineapple drinks that were the envy of everyone at the beach club. The beach club itself is exceptional, with great snorkelling areas right off the shore. It's a bit of a hike though, so a golf cart is highly recommended. Also, the club does not have any 'toys' for you to use, but fortunately Marie at Villa Paladin provided us with boogie boards for the kids. There was also an assortment of snorkelling gear that we could choose from, and we brought our own inflatable SUP from Canada. We loved our vacation here, and would highly recommend this Villa to anyone.
