Was a little hesitant to book as I am not a wellness / inward centred person...just wanted a luxe hotel on a gorgeous beach! At least in off season (mid Sept), I saw little evidence of this being a targetted wellness resort. There were classes held somewhere...I never saw them. Alcohol was offered on all menus (usually without prices but presumably not included in this all inclusive resort?) The food was truly amazing and healthy, saw a bit of seafood on menu, not too much red meat. Rooms and pools and the pool bar gorgeous design. I tried to go for a walk in the jungle but this doesnt seem to go anywhere...that would have been a nice feature but otherwise I cant really fault. Would stay again ...which is rare for me, I always like to try new places.

The experience from beginning to end was amazing. Highly recommend for anyone looking to rest, reset, and recharge. The staff was very hospitable, the property was beautiful and the plant-based cuisine was great, even for a meat eater like me. The wellness programming was great too, from the traditional Temazcal ceremony, pranayama, yoga and the meditation concert among other things. We will be going back soon!

It's such a gift to be able to visit Palmaia for the second time. The staff is wonderfully friendly and helpful. The food is hit or miss, but it's so nice there, you won't care that much. I still managed to gain 4lbs so I clearly ate pretty well! The servers and bartenders are knowledgeable and attentive. The spa is beautiful and the therapists there are amazing. There are a variety of daily activities. The nomadic guides, Kasandra and Esteban, are gems!
