This luxury apartment was everything it was claimed to be and more. The condo itself was beautiful and well maintained. The kitchen was very well appointed. Carmen, the liaison, was reliable and helpful. Jimmy, the owner, was a prince of a guy. He had the A/C in the guest room fixed the same day when a relay blew. Each time we had a question, he responded immediately. When we inadvertently put one of the A/C remotes in our luggage as we left, he had a perfect solution. We can't say enough about how well he treated us.
As for Palmas del Mar itself, the pool at the compound is absolutely gorgeous, and the hot tub works well too. Neither was at all crowded. The beach is a classic, just a short walk, great swimming. They go a little overboard with safety warnings--our favorite was "Beware of falling coconuts." Although nothing in Palmas is a bargain, everything is high class. We ate at four of the restaurants and they were all very good. The golf was pricey, but the Flamboyan course is one of the best in the Caribbean. The fitness center was also a little pricey, but for us, very important. The outside activities are within easy driving distance. Old San Juan is a great tourist spot, only an hour's drive. The spectacular rain forest El Yunque is less than an hour away--don't miss it. We found a zipline adventure that was lots of fun.
To sum up, the best bargain at Palmas del Mar is Jimmy's condo. It was a combination of fun, relaxation, and value.

We just returned and want to thank you for your villa. It is the BEST location in Fairway Court!! We had a ball playing golf and relaxing after going through the death of my husband's 2 parents and my friend's mother last year. We ALL needed the peace that we received in Palmas Del Mar. Your unit is the best one in the complex!! Views, size of the deck and closeness of the pool were perfect. Carmen and Katsy were very helpful. Thank you again and we would love to return in the future. Please keep in touch!

Jaime,
I saw the refund come through on paypal – Thanks!
We had a great time in PR and especially enjoyed the location of your villa with its proximity and view of the pool area.
The weather was fantastic, we arrived safely home Friday night late and woke up to snow on the ground Saturday morning….you have to love the Midwest!
Thanks again for everything.
