From beginning to end, Red Palm Villas did a fantastic job making mine and my new husband's dreams come true for our wedding. Here is just a small list of what they did for us.
- Acted as concierge to our 24 closest friends and family; making everyone comfortable, happy, relaxed, and never without a belly full of the freshest, most delicious food. They advised on transfers, what flights would make sense and fixed some of our last minute snaffus that are normal to any wedding.
- Excursion planning made simple. Guests were able to join in or stay and relax on the beach. All transfers were set up by RPV. Effortless.
- The most beautiful beach can only be paired with a simple and elegant wedding set up, and that's what they made for us. The guitarist they arranged to play additionally was superb and the photographer did an amazing job as well.
- The months of planning be email beforehand were at times stressful (that's normal), but I was put at ease by their personable correspondence, timeliness and effortless decision making. I realized that they were going to take care of us. And they did.They treated us like family, laughed and cried with us, and we miss them all so much already. We can't thank Red Palm Villas enough. We will be back.

We traveled here as a family of four (our kids are 5 and 9). We stayed in the Lotus Villa, and we loved it! Our trip was to celebrate something pretty major in our lives, so my husband called ahead to see if we could perhaps get one of the villas that were recommended on tripadvisor (we know - lots and lots of people are on a honeymoon or celebrating a major anniversary, but ours was pretty much as big a celebration as we could imagine, so we called). He spoke with Ruth at the resort (he called the hotel's number direct, not reservations), and she was totally fantastic. When we arrived, Ruth did our personalized check-in, we were early and anxious to take a dip in the ocean, my husband went with her, we went straight to the beach.
Our villa on the beach was an unexpected pleasure. We had no idea it would be so close to the beach! The second floor bed is perfectly aligned with the view of waves out front, so when I woke up in the morning, I would see the most amazing waves without even getting up. 

We really appreciated Ruth’s help. She was fantastic throughout our stay (she is at the desk as well as doing personalized check-ins etc). Also, I should mention that our villa was not ready when we arrived, we were 2 hours early but Ruth knew that I had been through major medical treatments over the past year (thus the celebration), and she allowed me to rest in an un occupied suite. That was incredibly considerate, and very much appreciated. She also called our next hotel to make sure our accommodations there would be outstanding. Thanks Ruth!


We had breakfast included in our rate, and it was very good. I really enjoyed the gallo pinto, beans, egg and rice that they served. As a result of the medical treatments I underwent, eating is very difficult, so its a huge deal for me to say I enjoyed eating. Hats off to the chef for that! I think it is the first food I have enjoyed in the last year. We should email the hotel to find out what the sauce was - not the usual but very similar to Worcestershire, much better (that is, much better for me). The coconut water was perfect also for my as well as the fruits and veggies.

We ate at the pool next door a lot (it works best with young children).
Of course the food is great, everything is local and fresh for the most part. Our family of four usually spent about $60 to $65 for lunch for 4. The Isla Tortuga snorkeling tour was cool, there are so many different kinds of fish there! There was an eel living in the rocks. Don't see that everyday! House keeping was very good. One late afternoon we went for surf lessons, and when we returned, we had come in and done a second tidying up for us. I felt bad, as I had not thought that housekeeping would be through a second time that and I had not made my kids pick up their toys, so there was some disarray. But when we got back, everything was lovingly put away, and my daughter's stuffed animals were adorably arranged on her bed, with her books on the pillow ready for bedtime. That was so sweet!!! Oops, almost forgot: our bed offered some of the best nights sleeping I had had in years. The villas are relatively new, well maintained, slight signs of their age but very well kept. I think this is totally reflected in the price relative to other resorts. We were totally happy with our accommodations. Thank you Red Palm Villas and Ruth for an outstanding stay!

The Red Palms villa is amazing in so many ways. The grounds are ammaculatey kept. Literally on the ocean. Heartbreaking view i miss the sunset so bad. The villas are amazingly built, so beautiful and luxurious, yet feels like home. Everything so clean and well kept. The views are spectacular Santa Teresa is so chill and everyone is so respectful, kind, and helpful. Walking distance to amazing restaurants and super market, felt no need for a car. What stands out the most is the Red palm villas staff. From booking our trip and planning transportation suggestions on restaurants and surfing lessons, tours through the jungle there are no words to explain how generous Mike and his angels are I miss them so so mucho and can't wait to go back. A +++ oh and the pool next door is perfect for a nice dip and a drink or lunch. Really our stay was so amazing and wouldn't be the same without Mike and his staff thank you so much we will be back.

Great hotel! My finance have selected it to be the hotel for our wedding after almost a six-month extensive search. We stayed there in May and loved it. The owner, manager and staff are helpful, nice and easy going. My mother and I are staying there in December and then my wedding is in April. I highly recommend this hotel for weddings, honeymoons, couples or even family’s. It’s small, great service, excellent beachfront location.
