Hotel Palafitos Overwater Bungalows

Perfect! Nice place and service!

The resort is really nice and our room was AMAZING!! We would definitely go here again. Alberto, Fernanda and Liz were all super friendly and helpful and made sure we had the best experience!

We will be back! We loved the bungalow!!! The staff was amazing! Fernando, Randy, Alberto we amount our favorites! There professionalism and character was unmatched!! Food ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ amazing!!

This was our first time at El Dorado Maroma, and it was fantastic. We loved how small it was, and how attentive the staff was. Bryan with Naay spa was amazing. We enjoyed getting chair massages each day! We also got a full massage on the beach and at the spa. It was lovely. The entertainment crew was so much fun! Pool volleyball with Jerik, Marco, Mauricio, and Alex was great. We enjoyed chatting with them each day too. The restaurant staff were all excellent too, our favorite was breakfast at Papitos, lunch at Limon and dinner at Mio. We can't wait to return!

Palafitos is seriously breath taking. From the transportation from the air port, the service, food and drinks, and of course the bungalows! Alberto is hilarious and will be happy to drive you anywhere on the property! He will make you laugh and is always Will to take the best pictures! Our butlers went above and beyond for my husbands birthday! They decorated our room with balloons, and a strobe light! We were so shocked! They only serve top shelf liquor! Palafitos restaurant is AMAZING! The view the food and service is incredible! We can wait to come back! Find Leo the bar tender!! He normally works by the pool!

My wife and I searched high and low for the perfect honeymoon spot, and we found it! We had the trip of an absolute lifetime without a single negative thing to say. We stayed at Palafitos overwater bungalows February 28, 2025 - March 7, 2025. I’ll break my review down into multiple areas, but I’m starting with service. I’ve stayed in many nice places, but they are nothing without great service. SERVICE: When I tell you the service at Palifitos is incredible, I’m still underselling it. It was truly like a family here. Every single staff greeted you and took care of every need you could possibly have. And that was on top of 24/7 butler service. All the staff we interacted with were so friendly and accommodating, but we wanted to say thank you to a few special staff members that made our trip so memorable! Alberto the golf cart driver/bell desk who was such a great time, Bertin who brought us some of the most amazing meals to our balcony almost daily, Lazaro who served us multiple times at the overwater restaurant, Marleen for taking such good care of us at the spa, Shrem and Javier for organizing multiple aspects of our stay, a few others such as Rafael who ran the Bali beds and our housekeeper, and last but certainly not least our amazing butlers, William/Yasser/Pilar and Fernando! They took such great care of us throughout, making dinner reservations, ordering our food and drinks to our room, providing us with activity information and arranging as we chose, and so much more. Special shoutout to Yasser for going above and beyond having the chefs make some special soup on a hangover day as well as on our last night conducted a special turndown/celebration for us to celebrate our honeymoon. ROOM: I can’t get over this room. It has glass bottom floors throughout, a huge jet tub, and indoor and outdoor shower, a private plunge pool, a deck with table/chairs and lounger, lower deck with sun chairs, and stairs directly into the ocean! On top of that it included snorkeling gear in the room, a stocked mini fridge, ample storage, and much more. Plus it was incredibly clean. FOOD: This was the best food we have ever had. You had access to the main resort’s restaurants, and also had full access to the over water restaurant. Every meal we had was immaculate. Room service came direct from Palifitos Over water restaurant and was therefore still just as phenomenal and super quick service. We will forever remember having room service breakfast and drinks out on our patio every morning. Every drink we ordered was also great with beautiful garnishes. RESORT: We loved how peaceful this resort was. This is definitely a relaxed and quiet resort, not a huge party resort - Which is exactly what we were looking for. The main grounds was very tranquil and had a GREAT spa. There was also many perks included such as a catamaran ride, jet skis, paddle boarding, kayaking, Bali beds with picnic lunch, etc. TRAVEL: We couldn’t believe that such a great place was only a
