Villa del Palmar Flamingos

From Kathy Hagood, for About.com

What's Special About Villa del Palmar Flamingos:


Upscale yet casual, Villa del Palmar Flamingos provides both bayside seclusion and convenience to area attractions. One of Nuevo Vallarta’s newest resorts, it’s a quick walk up the beach to Bucerías for shopping or a short ride to romantic Puerto Vallarta.

Guest Rooms at Villa del Palmar Flamingos:


The property has 275 ocean view suites (from a 575-square-foot studio suite to a 2,358-square-feet three-bedroom suite). All rooms feature brightly colored décor inspired by the art of the indigenous Huichol Indians. Each suite offers a private, furnished balcony or terrace, kitchenette, coffeemaker, digital flat-screen TV, safe, iron and ironing board, purified drinking water, tub and shower. Bigger suites provide additional amenities.

Comments About Villa del Palmar Flamingos:


Villa del Palmar Flamingos enfolds you with beauty from its marble flooring to its tropically landscaped exterior. The resort’s tiered high-rise wings and centrally located lagoon pool area open to a broad view of Banderas Bay, Mexico’s largest natural bay. Soaking in the resort’s huge bayside hot tub illuminated by a fire pit at night is a delight. While the Cyber Café in the resort’s Palmita Market is open from 8 a.m. to 10:30 p.m and features multiple computer terminals for high-speed Internet access, I would like it better if guests weren’t charged for Internet usage.

Spa at Villa del Palmar Flamingos:


A 17,000-square-foot European-style spa recently has been added to the resort. The simple, elegant décor of the spa is showcased by the resort’s signature marble. Treatments include body wraps, hydrotherapy and jetlag therapy. A well-equipped fitness center and two championship tennis courts are included in the spa’s offerings.

Destinations Near Villa del Palmar Flamingos:


As Puerto Vallarta is a just quick ride from the resort, you won’t want to miss it. The historic Spanish Colonial town is both picturesque and enchanting. While in the area you may also want to try horseback riding on the beach, whale watching and swimming with dolphins. Excursions to the nearby Sierra Madre offer zip lining through the rainforest canopy or a visit to a Huichol Indian village.

Activities at Villa del Palmar Flamingos:


The resort provides an abundance of fun pursuits from painting pottery to water volleyball. There’s also aerobics, bingo, dance lessons, handicrafts, Spanish lessons and bartending classes. For golfers there’s the 18-hole Flamingos Golf Course designed by Englishman Percy Clifford.

Bellavista Restaurant & Bar offers a buffet of fusion Italian-Californian cuisine for breakfast, lunch and dinner. La Trattoria, the resort’s open-air bayside restaurant, features Italian cuisine for dinner. For quick meals there’s the Pizza Bar with its gourmet pizzas cooked in a wood-burning oven. Just walk up the beach to adjacent resorts for other choices.
