    ❤️❤️❤️ It was amazing been here!!

    The location is excellent, it has a romantic atmosphere. The room is extremely clean and well supplied. The music was a nice volume not to disrupt neighbors peace. The service was top of the line. The waiters are eager to solve any problem and offer options. The butlers were 20/10. We were celebrating our 30th anniversary and the experience here surpassed our expectations in high. We are so grateful of choosing this place. Daniel, Enrique, Alberto, Pedro & Jaime (jetsky guys). Patricia, Jesus, Andres they deserve a rise so much! Their service is the top off all.

    Honeymoon at Palafitos

    Our entire experience was absolutely wonderful and made our honeymoon even more special. The entire staff was warm, welcoming, and attentive throughout our stay. We especially want to recognize Alberto, who we quickly became very fond of. His amazing personality, genuine warmth, and ability to make us feel so comfortable truly set him apart. He went above and beyond and was the perfect “cherry on top” of an already incredible experience. Alberto is truly a natural at what he does, and his personality is perfectly suited for making guests feel special and right at home. Special thanks to our Butlers Karla, Aldo, and Juliana
