Our staff will welcome you with margaritas and snacks. To fund your food, beverages, car gas and transport from/to the airport we need you to send us a $1,500 check for a 'purchases bank' which will be given to our house manager prior to your arrival. Please, advise us of special food requests, also what you’d like for first dinner and breakfast. And let us know what kind of beverages you’d like to have at the house. When this advance 'bank' is used, our house man, Jose, will give you a detailed accounting, and request you to provide additional cash for future purchases. Figure about $150 p/p p/w depending on what you actually consume. We don't mark anything up like most other villas do.
Ten of us spent Thanksgiving week at the Palace By The Sea in Manzanillo. Some golfed three days, but I was part of the contingent that found no reason to leave our beautiful home! The three meals a day prepared by Pilar, the cook, were...More
The open air, open floorplan home is truly a Palace. The 5 bedrooms and bathrooms are well appointed, with comfortable beds. It has incredible ocean views. We spent time watching the ships coming and going to the Manzanillo port, sunrises in the east and beautiful...More

This was my 3rd trip to The Palace. My 50th birthday- a Ladies trip and this one for my parents 60th. Favorite things are the view- the staff and Pilar's cooking!
The private masseuse isn't bad either.
AND I recommend lunch on the private beach:)

Manzanillo is a premier destination for vacationers who seek sea, sunshine and the authentic traditions of southern Mexican culture. It is the ideal destination for deep-sea fishing and watersports, tennis, golf, horseback riding, kayaking, zip lining, bird watching and so much more. Palace by the Sea is near two world-class championship golf courses, shopping and fine dining.
Close by (a 10 minute drive from the Palace) are 3 golf courses: Las Hadas - 18 holes with great ocean views in the midst of scenic tropical vegetation, El Corazon - 18 holes with great views and Club Santiago - 18 holes, more like a city course. A 50 minute drive will bring you to Isla Navidad - 27 holes with spectacular ocean, lagoon and mountain views - a well-kept secret. A 70 minute drive and you can swing th...
