Reviewed Aug 22, 2026One & Only never disappoints! I go all in when I travel & can be finicky. This was my second time at the property & second time staying in a Casita Suite, but first time with one of my children (I have 4). The room, the little details in the room (little gifts & aromatherapy oil of choice burning at turndown, children’s slippers, toothbrush & robe, fresh fruit, incense to burn, on & on). The Butlers were always 10 steps ahead, if not 50! The room service is 5 star, the spa is 5 star, really everything is. The gift shop, restaurant, amenities…. At this point it’s safe to say, One & Only is a brand that I feel is so consistent that I truly feel comfortable booking at any one of their locations around the world. It’s gives you a family vacation that you don’t need a vacation from after! IYKYK.
As far as the resort catering to my child, true story, he met so many wonderful children & begged to go to the kids club to see them all and play. From the moment we stepped foot in the property he was treated like a little prince, they greeted him with a wonderful Muslin bag filled with so many goodies - Kids club hat, shirt, water bottle. It clearly felt like his little private world & really the resort makes sure that the kids feel part of the entire resort experience. The first time was a girls trip & honestly I don’t know which one was better, because they both were equally amazing. Truly 5 stars for their kids program & our experiences this week!
To the manager, who was truly an angel, and my butlers in room 2218, Thank you, with all my heart! You made this trip unbelievably special for my son & I.

The food and beverages at the hotel were expensive so we sought food at restaurants outside the hotel. The location was far from town and other restaurants so we had to take Ubers and the traffic was awful.

Reviewed Dec 26, 2025Beautiful rooms in a beautiful hotel, with exceptional service and attention to detail. All the staff seemed to have a genuine concern to make sure we had the best possible time. We were given a free upgrade so that the two families in our party could be close together on the property. My daughter’s birthday was marked with a number of generous gestures, including a virgin piña colada on the beach and a beautiful cake that appeared in our room. The beach was great, with calm seas, interesting snorkelling and attentive drink service all on our doorstep.
We did not find the restaurant prices as objectionable as some. Of course, they are high for Mexico (or indeed anywhere else), and for genuine Mexican food you would be better off (both financially and culinarily) going elsewhere. But nothing we had was priced off the charts for a top end hotel, and the quality was reliable and often very good.
Some of the activities were a different story. We were quoted USD 4,000 for a morning’s boating for 4, and almost USD 1,000 through an agency introduced by the hotel for a surf lesson for 2. Unreal prices, but it didn’t spoil our trip as it was very easy to get online and book the same things with reputable operators for less than a third of the price (although we decided against the surfing which turned out to require an hour on the road to a better surfing spot).

There are more than a few world-class resorts in Los Cabos, including several that we have visited and enjoyed (Esperanza, Las Ventanas and Waldorf Astoria Pedregal), but we believe the combination of the vastness of the property, its beaches, and greenery combined with truly, exceptional dining and a very experienced and personable staff makes Palmilla hard to beat. Thanks to everyone for celebrating our anniversary along with us.

Reviewed Aug 4, 2025This is a stunningly beautiful property with excellent service. The staff members were kind and extremely attentive, without being even remotely overbearing. Dining at the resort is very nice and is obviously convenient, but it is also very expensive — which isn’t entirely surprising for the high quality of the property. It felt perfectly safe to take a car service or Uber with family into San Jose del Cabo for dinner. There is a great vibe — the art walk — in San Jose del Cabo on Thursday evenings. I would highly recommend this property if it falls within your desired price point.

Reviewed Jul 29, 2025I cannot begin to explain how special this place was. The obvious talking points are the location, landscaping, amenities and services, but the most important factor my partner and I took away from the experience was the genuine kind attitude from all of the staff. Every staff member had a smile that didn't seem forced, a great sense of humor, and legit made me think - I want that kind of job. What they do is so hard - dealing with so many personality types and having to maintain a positive attitude - and they made it seem so easy. I've stayed at several places with high-end amenities in beautiful locations, but the staff went above and beyond our expectations.
I cannot think of one thing I didn't like. Everything was beyond perfect.

Reviewed Apr 12, 2025This property is simply magical and the staff is amazing….so kind, attentive, and happy. Many families have been working at the resort for generations and it shows. We have always been adverse to kids clubs because it felt wrong to send them away inside on a family vacation but my girls, ages 6 and 8, loved it so much. They were wonderful with the kids! They have an activity/craft every hour so for example, they’d make candles at 10 am for an hour while we went to the adult pool, then go back at 3 pm to make piñatas. This resort is a splurge but I would rather stay 3-4 nights here than 8 nights somewhere less expensive. The experience is top notch and worth every penny.

Beautiful location and some exceptional staff members. Room was fine (dark, leak from shower, older bathroom) but not great compared to Montage or Las Ventanas. Food was generally very good but pricey even based on other similar resorts. Overall, older property with an incredible location, very good service but feeling its age.

The natural beauty of the location and the staff at this property are second to none. Like other O&O hotels the grounds are kept in pristine condition and room furnishings very comfortable and in keeping with surroundings.
Every single staff member we came into contact with were fantastic. Big thanks to Butlers Jonathan and Enrique who couldn’t have been more helpful and accommodating and thanks to Carlos and Alfonso on the private dining team.
If relaxed luxury is what you’re looking for look no further than O&O Palmilla. Very much looking forward to returning in the future.

Service in the restaurants was very good, attentive. Our butler seemed hopeless. He asked us what we needed during our stay (i.e., turn down after 20:00). Nothing we asked for happened when we asked.
Also, cost is excessive at the property. Not great value for money.
Mexico does not warrant French or Italian costs. It just doesn’t. The food is not nearly as good and, generally, the service is not as good. I like Mexico but no way the value measures up to the cost. I would probably go back but I will look at other options.
One more thing, 15% mandatory service for everything??? They are joking, right?
I’m sure Americans will continue to go but it’s because they either haven’t been to Europe or don’t have easy access to great holiday destinations. Sorry, I’m an American living in Europe and I have a home in Southern California. I would be reluctant to recommend Palmilla to anyone.
