Sprawled across five acres of land are 55 rooms and villas, function rooms, cottages and three swimming pools, plus other amenities.

I think this resort is an ideal venue to host a debut party or organize a surprise birthday party of a friend. The atmosphere and setup looks awesome. At night, it can also get quite romantic.
My great aunt celebrated her birthday here. Although I wasn’t around in Bacolod at that time, I heard they had a pretty great party there.
Seems like I have been seeing a lot of reviews about this resort in Bacolod. They are really using social media to promote their resort. That is really the way to go now. Hardly see anything like this on newspapers.
They have also found that sites like TripAdvisor where guests give reviews are a good way to attract more travelers.
I used to go here a lot. lol We even had a class party here and spent the whole day at Palmas. Your pictures look really nice. You took them well. I sure do miss that place. Thanks for sharing this post. Brings a lot of great memories. 🙂
We went there for the 20th anniversary mass and dinner so we never got to capture the place while the sun was up. Good thing the night photos still came out fine.
This resort looks amazing! Looks so serene and I can totally see myself relaxing here without the kids of course.
Your kids will love it here.
reminds me how i want to have a staycation in some hotel/resort away from the city. ill take note of this once we go to Bacolod.
I’m really thinking of having a staycation here during the low season. 🙂
The place looks nice, it would be great to go here with friends. It’s affordable too since you can split the bill to four people.
Yes, it is wiser to go here in groups so that the cost per person can be lower.
My family has a plan of paying our friend a visit in La Carlota and get to see Bacolod as well. But if we decided to have a night stay in Bacolod, I will absolutely choose this place.
It’s a nice place to stay when in Bacolod. It’s just a bit secluded but you’ll never want to leave the resort when you stay here.
Palmas Del Mar looks like the perfect getaway place for a family. They have excellent facilities here.
Children are safe in the resort. Still, adult supervision is needed so that they are more secure and far from danger.
I’ve never heard of Palmas del Mar before but it looks like such a beautiful place! Would love to visit! 😀
I want to go back there myself. 🙂
The place looks really cozy and serene. I see why you like it. Gotta check it out when I get the chance to visit that side of PH.
Please do!
Nice review of the venue! I was in Bacolod thrice, and perhaps I’d check out the resort the next time I visit. Looking at the pics, the resort seems cozy and the ambiance is relaxing. They must be doing a great job to stay in the business for 20 long and fruitful years. 😉
Palmas del Mar is a bit secluded that’s why it seems like a best-kept secret in Bacolod.
the resort looks good! How conveniently is it located with respect to the tourist attractions in phillipines?
It is in Negros Occidental in the Visayas region. The Negros Island is located between Panay, where Boracay is part of, and Cebu, the oldest city in the country.
The resort looks beautiful. Its serene and calming. The swimming pool with the reclining chairs & fountains and the food are just spectacular.
It’s a perfect swimming venue for families and friends. 🙂
The resort looks really nice. Haven’t been to Bacolod but will definitely check out this resort if we visit the place soon. 🙂
Hope you get to visit Bacolod soon. 🙂
I’ve never explored Bacolod, and this makes me be more interested to travel there soon. Hmmm now I’m thinking. hahah
I hope you get to travel here and explore the attractions here.
It looks really lovely. The fact that it’s stayed for 20 years says a lot about the quality of service and other things the resort provides.
I agree. And we hope it stays for more years given the challenges and demands of modern travelers.
It’s so nice…. I like your post 🙂
Thank you.
Beautiful & affordable!
