Palazzo Del Mar is a property that we discussed revisiting again. The gorgeous views and various sitting areas on each floor were a plus along with the main eating area made it a good and memorable fit for our group.

Perfect home for our family vacation! The house was absolutely amazing and the property management team went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed! The location couldn't have been better. Just disappointed it's already booked for next year. Definitely would love to come back here again! You couldn't ask for better amenities! We totally enjoyed our family time together here!
6 / 10Average·Jul 2015
The house and furnishing were great---a real luxury mansion. We had our family reunion here and had a great time. However, there were some unpleasant experiences. The lady who met us on arrival was not very familiar with the house, e.g., she did not know how the entry gate worked or when garbage was picked up. The air conditioning system was very confusing to use. We could not get the system to maintain the selected temperature. No matter what temperature was selected most of the units ran all the time. There were no controls on the third floor. We were told by the maintenance people that the only control available was in a locked closet that only the owner could open. Maintenance personnel tried to help us but nothing seemed to work. We had two babies on the third floor and the temperature in their room in the morning was 68 degrees. Air conditioning technicians were supposed to work on the third floor unit on Wednesday but they did not show up. All the TVs in the house are controlled with Ipads. There were no instructions so we had to experiment to learn how to use the Ipads to find the desired channel. Some of the Ipads were connected through WiFi and the hard wired Ipad was on the first floor. A person using this Ipad could change the channels on all the TVs and this happened a lot until we learned how to use the system. My TV on the 4th floor was connected through the WiFi. One night when I was ready for bed the Ipad lost WiFi connection. The only way I could turn off the TV was to go down to the first floor Ipad. Isn't technology wonderful. What happened to the old fashioned remote controllers. Most rentals we have used had a guest book with instructions on how every thing worked. This house does not have one and it definitely needs one. The beach was wonderful and we enjoyed our stay but for the price we paid we expected things like the air conditioners and the TVs to work better. I will not be back.
