Playa Palmera Beach Resort

Very nice place to stay apartments are very nice and clean and newer and staff was always amazing especially the drivers of the golf carts they were always pleasant.

My friends and I stayed here for a week during our spring break and it was amazing!! Super affordable and the staff were very friendly. We were traveling with a Spanish speaker so we didn’t have much difficulty, but the staff did have varying levels of English skills which is to be expected, and it wasn’t much of a problem all in all. Our apartment was clean, beautifully decorated, and well equipped, and there was a lovely pool right outside. Food wasn’t included but everything was incredibly affordable! The Florecita restaurant was super upscale and luxurious, and the other eateries had very good food as well. The beach was really nice too! It can be pretty windy there but I’ve heard that’s not uncommon for the Dominican coast, and it wasn’t much of a bother. Overall you get what you pay for and more. We were really happy with our stay and would return. It’s not a luxury all-inclusive but it’s really amazing quality and value for the price. One note: it’s relatively far from attractions and Bavaro beach is about a 20 minute drive. We had to call a couple of Ubers, so if you want to stay somewhere that’s really close to clubbing and activity this is not the place. We didn’t mind though.

The property was amazing. Stayed 10 nights and am planning on coming back as soon as i can! The beach bar was amazing jon and victor were awsome! The restaurant Flaurecitia was top notch and the service from hector and the other waitors was perfect. If you do come make sure to remember to brush up on spanish because english is not widely spoken here. Also some ammeneties are missing in rooms like face clothes. Hand towels so make sure to pack a few extra comforts if u want them ) very nice vacation here and highly recomend :)

Playa Palmera was beautiful! Easy access to the beach and the pools were well kept and family friendly! Loved how the room balconies ALL faced the pool. The staff was extremely kind and helpful when needed. We will be staying again!!

The place is calm and clean. Nice for families with lots of restaurants and a supermarket. We stayed in an apartment facing a shared pool. The beach is less than a five minutes walk from the apartments. They organise excursions as well. It would be good to add some basketball/tennis courts for teenagers and adults.

I am not sure how this is considered a luxury property. I was so unimpressed with the service, the property and accommodations that left and got another hotel within an hour of arriving. I’ll never use orbit again, what I got, was nothing like what I was expecting.

We loved Playa Palmera! The pool was just outside our door and the beach a short walk or golf cart drive away. The apartment style accommodations were perfect for our needs. Definitely going back again!❤️

Entire resort was in need of serious maintenance all the pools except the monkey club were in really bad shape. And the music was so loud even midday at the club pool that it actually hurt our ears and the drinks were terrible. Very few staff spoke any English and some of the little shops like grocery and pizza had extremely rude staff. Our room needed a lot of maintenance. Very cheaply maintained. No actual blankets. Parts of it were definitely not clean. One of the bathrooms wreaked like sewage. We had to figure out how to rig the hot water for showers. Very lacking in outdoor amenities. The shopping centre area had a distinct sewage smells in the air. Spend the extra money for a decent all inclusive otherwise you end up spending more in the long run for a less enjoyable vacation.

We booked the 2 bedroom penthouse. Absolutely loved it! It was spacious. The wifi was excellent. The private rooftop balcony was to die for! The electrical outlets in the apartment were a bit tricky if you are from North America. The outlets on the balcony worked fine. The cookware was very thin; so, the food had a tendency of burning. If ordering water from the grocery store. Wait until the end of the day when you will be in your room. You have to wait for them to deliver the water. One day we spent almost an entire day in our room waiting for the water to be delivered. The beach access and beach area were excellent! The pools and pool areas were fabulous. Would definitely return!
