What’s special about this resort
Don’t let a tight budget stop you from having a fun-filled all-inclusive family vacation. The Villa Del Palmar Flamingo Beach Resort & Spa has spacious suites, family-friendly amenities, and delicious dining options that rival those at bigger, more luxurious resorts. The difference? It’s surprisingly affordable. Book here, and you and your family will have a memorable vacation jam-packed with beach activities, exciting entertainment, and endless fun in the sun.
All guests at the resort have access to the pools, beach, pickleball court, and fitness center. For unlimited dining at the six on-site restaurants and use of the Kids Club services, you will need to upgrade to the all-inclusive plan. The plan also includes kayaking, paddle boarding, and daily/nightly entertainment.
Things we like:

The beach is on the smaller side and can feel crowded during busy seasons
-
Some rooms face out into the parking lot and have street views
What to do
Enjoy water sports at the beach like kayaking or paddle boarding. It doesn’t matter if you’re an avid paddle boarder or don’t have a day of experience, a guided tour will take you along the gentle waters of the resort’s beach. Once you’re back on shore, settle into a comfortable lounger and it won’t be long before a friendly staff member will be at your side to take a drink order.
Had a long flight? You can take a stretching class at the fitness center to release your tension and set yourself up for a relaxing vacation. Spend long afternoons by the pool basking in the Mexican sun or participating in a myriad of fun activities. Pickleball, volleyball, water aerobics, trivia, and dancing classes are all offered near the main pool.
There’s always a show to catch or performance to see in the evenings. Sing along to your favorite tunes at a Broadway Show or dance the night away at a beach party. Watch your kids’ eyes fill with wonder at a live circus show or enjoy a mellow movie night together under the stars.
What to eat
The dining options cater to every palate, from traditional American cuisines to savory Italian dishes. A total of six restaurants and bars will be sure to keep your taste buds happy.
La Trattoria is the romantic Italian restaurant that boasts a lovely open-air concept and delicious food, such as brick oven pizzas and savory pastas. Yashinoki is where to go for flavorful Asian-inspired dishes that are cooked right in front of your eyes.
Stop by the Seafood Market for an all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet or come back in the evenings for specialty seafood platters. Craving Mexican food? You’ll find it at El Patron, where a traditional Mexican menu consists of chips and guacamole, tacos, enchiladas, and a variety of regional tequilas.
For the adults, the Cantina Sports Bar is the perfect place to catch up with your favorite sports team and enjoy a drink in good company. For the kiddos, La Creperie will be a spot they’ll ask to visit over and over again. Fresh crepes, blended Frappuccino drinks, and a variety of desserts are a special treat for any time of day.
