We stayed in 2009 and have since returned several times to Melaque, but not to La Paloma. There are a core of loyalists who come year after year. Our experience was that many of the regulars were smokers, and as long-timers, felt it ok to smoke in close proximity to the rest of us. As outsiders, we needed to be... More

La Paloma Oceanfront Retreat has since be taken over by new management (starting in 2010) and has been redesigned inside and out. We have done everything we can to make sure that no guest is bothered by anyone smoking (now a non smoking establishment with designated smoking area away from everyone), that every guest is insured the same treatment and...

Many people have said exactly what we feel/felt about our stay there: comfortable, accommodating, great location, private, fantastic views etc. We are big fans of Mexico and have vacationed at different places there but we will...

Through the heavy wooden front door we entred the garden sanctuary of La Paloma... cool, quite, beautifully landscaped and inviting, it became our sanctuary from the noisy world beyond. We were housed (literally) in Room #4 with outdoor kitchen and dinning room for 8 and surrounding patios with room to throw a large party. In our case, room for 12... More

La Paloma's greatest strength (apart from beautiful, comfortable accommodations and the Pacific Ocean right out front) is its staff. You feel like you've been invited into a friend's home (which you have been) and treated like a friend. The only drawback to our stay was the noise in the neighbourhood, lots of festivities, loudspeakers, firecrackers - but we were there... More

We have just finished a wonderful week-long Yoga Retreat at La Paloma, Melaque. I am more than excited to tell everyone that this was a perfect location for such a retreat. Twenty individuals, enjoying daily yoga exercise, morning class near the pool and sunset meditation on the beach. The grounds are ideal for both yoga and also for relaxing. Daily... More

We were thrilled with La Paloma. The setting on the beach and immaculate gardens are spectacular and the staff was very helpful and friendly. Our room was very clean and had a small kitchenette if you want to prepare your own food. The daily continental breakfast included fresh-squeezed orange juice, fruit, coffee and breads with toppings. If you want more... More
