Unique was only restaurant at Palafitos Ocean was not swimmable and smells around the area on the beach not so good ( poor conditions in that department), room didn’t have iron, around the pool no one is asking for drinks, cleanliness at the pool poor.

Our honeymoon at the Palafitos Overwater Bungalows was pure perfection from start to finish. The luxurious sedan pick-up set the tone for the top-notch service we experienced throughout our stay. Our overwater bungalow was breathtaking – panoramic views of the Caribbean Sea, a private infinity plunge pool, and even a glass-bottom floor panel. The service was truly extraordinary, led by our incredible butler, Yasser. He anticipated our every need, orchestrating our stay with grace and genuine warmth. Yasser made us feel like cherished friends, always going above and beyond. Our beach butler, Rafael, was equally delightful, ensuring our beach days were pure bliss with refreshing drinks and a constant smile. The food was a revelation, far beyond "5-star." Every meal was a Michelin-star style masterpiece, meticulously crafted and exquisitely presented. We savored fresh seafood, perfectly cooked steaks, and innovative dishes that delighted our palates. The attentive staff in every restaurant made each dining experience memorable. Beyond the service and sublime cuisine, the Palafitos exuded serenity and romance. The intimate setting ensured privacy, and we loved swimming from our private deck and soaking in the sunsets. It was an immersive experience in unparalleled luxury and heartfelt hospitality. Our honeymoon was a dream, where every need was anticipated and every moment felt magical. We left with hearts full of gratitude and a longing to return to this paradise.
