Thanks PamMo, good to know. Could you please try to put that property map back up. For whatever reason, it says "The requested page could not be found."
Thank you PamMo! I have read reviews on TripAdvisor, etc that said that the loud music goes until 3-4 AM! I want to try to avoid that building(s) if possible. I am guessing that is building 6(?).
Pam,Yes, Bldg 6 is closest to the nightclub Strana, which is on the road. The club opens at 10:30PM and the party can last all night long. The construction of the buildings is very solid with thick walls, and to be honest, we didn't have a problem with noise in our unit. but we were on the beach and we don't sleep with the windows open.

That would be in building C--the one closest to the office. I stayed in building A in November and thought it was excellent. We were in the end unit with views of the grounds and the driveway with parked cars. The ground floor one-bedroom was very large with two bathrooms and a very large patio. I was very impressed with the condition of the unit. Several years ago I stayed in building 6, and the disco noise was a problem for me. I've also stayed in building 20 and didn't like how the patio was just a few feet from Fiesta American next door.
What EJC said.
Thank you so much for that information. We’re glad that we aren’t getting building 26. Maybe the request written in Spanish helped(?). We’ll be there in 2 days, a day late after a stay in Nuevo Vallarta.
Make sure you inform the resort that you'll be checking in one day late. BTW, building A was three stories high with front unit and back units. We had a first floor back unit. Building C could be a similar layout, but I don't know for sure. The square pool in front of brings B and C was very pleasant and quiet with shade provide by nearby palm trees, etc.
My favorite breakfast/lunch waiter is Gabbi (Gabriel) and my favorite dinner waiter is Fernando. If you end up with either of them, tell them "Eduardo" says hello. If you decide to do rib night, they will split your order between you and your partner if you're not super hungry. They won't do a half order. Villa del Palmar, about a block north, has a laundromat that anyone can use if you need to do laundry. You buy the laundry coins in the Palmita Market (the Villa del Palmar convenience store). Both the laundromat and market are on the street, i.e., you don't have to go through the resort's main entrance. The Palmita Market has a reasonably priced deli. My favorite at the deli is the Mexican chicken wrap. Their hamburger is good too (comes with bacon and cheese). With either the wrap or the burger you have a choice of sides: potato salad, macaroni salad, or chips. From 5pm-9pm their pastries are 2-for-1. The cashier has a printed menu in case the rotating menu on the tv screens tests your patience. Enjoy!
If you like Italian, La Dolce is a block north of Villa del Palmar. There is a traffic light at the intersection. It’s across the street in back of the Argentine restaurant. La Dolce is surprisingly affordable and the food is good. One of my favorite things to do is take a cab to Lindo Mar Resort (Concha’s Chinas area) for happy hour ( noon or 5 pm) and have lunch or dinner. The view from the restaurant at Lindo Mar is wonderful. The restaurant is right on the ocean. During happy hour drinks are simply half price, not 2-for-1. The cab fare from Los Tules would be 150 pesos plus tip each way. I’m in the process of buying a timeshare at Lindo Mar via RedWeek. It’s a “full-service” listing and it’s taking a LONG time to process.
We saw Fernando and I told him you said hello. He was happy to hear from you and had high praise of you.
Thanks for telling him "HI" for me. I've been going to that restaurant for several years now.
