Our stay at Pacific Palms Resort was truly delightful! The apartment was spacious and had a lovely sunny living area, which made it feel like home. We appreciated the great kitchen complete with a dishwasher, which came in handy. The service was fantastic, with the staff being exceptionally welcoming and helpful throughout our visit. The location couldn't have been better, just a short walk to the beach and conveniently close to shopping options. Overall, it’s great value for money, but we wished we had more time to enjoy the pool and spa facilities.

Our family absolutely loved our stay at this resort, it truly became our go-to spot for relaxation and fun. The spacious apartment was perfect, although I found the lack of air conditioning a little uncomfortable during the muggy weather. The grounds are beautiful, and the amenities, including the spa and heated pool, made our stay even more enjoyable. The only downside was that we sometimes had to wait for the barbecue area to be free. Overall, it’s an excellent location with a great atmosphere, and we can’t wait to return.

I had a thoroughly enjoyable stay, extending my originally booked two nights to three. The place was well-presented and offered a lovely, peaceful outlook, making it a great spot to unwind. However, my experience at check-in could have been better due to an incident that left a sour taste. Still, the private and quiet atmosphere of the apartment and the nearby amenities balanced things out nicely.

Our stay at this resort was simply delightful! The location is fantastic, right across from a variety of shops and just a few minutes from the beach. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but I found the lack of air conditioning a bit uncomfortable during the humid weather. The staff was absolutely wonderful, going above and beyond to ensure we had a pleasant experience. Overall, it provided great value for money with many amenities, making it a perfect choice for a relaxing family holiday.

We had a lovely time at the resort. The apartment was spacious and had everything we needed for a family stay, and it was really close to the beach as well as shopping options. Unfortunately, the spa wasn't working during our visit, and the pool was quite cold, which was a letdown for the kids. Overall, though, we enjoyed our time and appreciated the location and amenities.
