    Palafitos is an incredible resort

    The resort and beach were very clean. Yasser and Pillar were our butlers at Palafitos Bungalow Resort on Maroma Beach. They did an excellent job tending to every need we had. Rooms were great and comfortable. Alberto was another favorite of ours at the resort. Very personable and friendly. He made our stay even better with his up beat personality and charm. Worth every penny

This place is gorgeous and you will without a doubt be treated as such. Every spot at the palafitos was beautiful, peaceful and calm.
