What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Really good Dining Experience

I had the opportunity to dine at both Suviche and Seared during my stay, and I must say, the food was exquisite. Suviche served up solid sushi and nigiri with excellent service. Seared was the restaurant highlight; the steak was fabulous, and the sweet potato side dish was out of this world. I highly recommend these places for anyone looking to indulge in culinary delights!

Absolutely Blissful Spa Experience

The spa at One&Only Palmilla was a true sanctuary. I enjoyed a 90-minute massage that was both relaxing and therapeutic. The facilities were stunning, featuring a sauna, steam room, and beautiful co-ed areas. I particularly loved having access to the hydrotherapy circuit at no extra cost. It was a nice experience that I would recommend to anyone staying at the resort.

Stunning Room with a View

My room at the resort overlooked the ocean and featured a fantastic terrace. It was beautifully appointed and equipped with all the amenities one could desire. Each evening, I was greeted by good surprises, such as special decorations and treats. The comfort of the bed was also amazing, ensuring a restful night's sleep after enjoying the stunning view.
