Our stay at One & Only Palmilla was truly unforgettable. The service was outstanding, making every moment feel special. The oceanfront view from our room was breathtaking, and the dining experiences were top-notch. However, we did find some aspects like the pricing to be on the higher side. Overall, it's a luxurious getaway well worth the splurge for a special occasion!

This resort is an absolute gem, offering unparalleled luxury and extraordinary service. The views are breathtaking, and the poolside experience is delightful. However, the dining can be quite expensive, especially for lunch options, which could use more variety at a more reasonable price. Despite some dining hiccups, the overall experience was a dream come true, making us eager to return.
