Eda, May 2025
Pros (+) My stay at Isla Palenque was truly magical. From the moment I arrived, everything was beautifully curated. The attention to detail was immaculate, and every part of the experience felt thoughtfully planned. The staff were incredibly kind and made me feel completely at home—special thanks to Pathy for her warmth and care, to Captain Ricardo for the unforgettable boat rides, and to the lovely driver...
Cons (-) The only downside was the ongoing construction, which meant I had to have my meals at one of the villas instead of the main beachside restaurant. Because of that, I felt slightly removed from the full magic and atmosphere of the island and didn’t get to enjoy the beach setting as much as we’d hoped.

Pros (+) Truly one of the best places I've stayed. The staff were absolutely amazing, anticipating all our needs and going above and beyond in every way (Carlos and Guillermo delivering greeting us after our morning kayak with green juice, Benny serving up delicious custom cocktails, Iris who gave us the most incredible deep massage, Benny arranging all the experiences we wanted, putting up with our terrib...
Cons (-) My only wish is that we could have afforded to stay more nights, but it was well worth every penny!

Pros (+) It was truly a wonderful stay. The island is the best place on earth to recharge and disconnect, everything is beautiful (the nature itself but the design of the hotel as well!) and I have never seen such a caring and professional staff. The food is incredible too (fresh, high quality and creative - we are French and Italien so have a bit of high standards in this respect) and they are always happ...
Cons (-) The only room for improvement in my opinion would be a gym - they however organise some fitness classes and hikes!

Pros (+) The staff are so lovely! They were so attentive and friendly. A special shoutout to Enrique for a warm welcome and send off.
Cons (-) The pool is extremely small and in full view of the sole restaurant that the resort had which made most of the guests avoid using it.
