We are unable to travel at any other time than August 30 through September 6. We are members and have a reservation at Arco. We usually do the all inclusive, but feel now we will have a 50% reduced option with Palmar’s closure during that time. Would The Villa Group considering allowing the Estancia restaurants be included in all inclusive for memeber during Palmar’s closure? Thank you.
Hello Ann,
Thank you for reading our blog and submitting your inquiry.
Please be advised that we will not be including VLE in the all-inclusive meal plan during this time.
Best Regards,
Brittany
Are the rooms at Villa del Palmar Cabo being renovated as well?
Hi Sandra,
At this time, no. The renovations planned are only for the restaurants and pool area.
Are there plans to renovate the rooms at Villa del Palmar Cabo and if so when is that being planned for?
Hi John,
At this time, this has not been planned. We will continue to keep all members posted of any future plans as they become available.
Regards,
Brittany
Are all the pools going to be available to children? Is the kiddie pool being redone? Because if children are from 6-14 there really isn’t any pool for them to enjoy. The upper pool has been for adults only and the pool down below, most of the area has been taken up by volleyball, so it doesn’t leave much room for kids of that age to just swim around.
Thank you so much for sharing your questions and concerns with us. We completely understand how important it is for families with children of all ages to feel they have spaces to enjoy and relax.
To clarify, the upper pool will remain adults-only, while the activity pool will continue to be available and is being expanded to create more space for everyone. Volleyball and other activities are only held at scheduled times, so outside of those times the pool will be open for swimming and family enjoyment.
We’re also excited to share that a new water fountain area for younger children is being designed, similar to the one at Arco, which will be a wonderful addition for families.
Your feedback regarding children between 6–14 years old is truly valuable, and we’ll be sure to share it with our team as we work to enhance the experience for all of our members and guests.
We look forward to welcoming you back soon and can’t wait for you to enjoy these updates.
I believe there were renovations to rooms and and lobby recently, Correct?
Hi John,
Yes, for those recent renovations you can view more details here: https://blog.myuvci.com/villa-del-palmar-cabo-reveals-stunning-transformation/
Hope this helps!
Best regards,

Until Bella California is finished, where will breakfast be served? Thanks, Alec
Hi Alec!
Thank you for your message! Until Bella California reopens, our breakfast menu will be available at other venues such as the Sports Bar and Tortugas Terrace, so you can still enjoy your morning favorites in a relaxed setting.
All information and offerings are subject to change at any time. Please inquire with the resort directly for the most current updates.
We appreciate your understanding and look forward to welcoming you soon.
It’s have been calling everyday to try to talk to someone but no answer at the resort. I have an upcoming reservation on Oct 10th with all inclusive. I’m hearing now that no beach restaurants will be open. Where do you plan on everyone eating and getting drinks. I’ve stayed at your resort numerous but this is very frustrating.
Hi Kristi!
Thank you for reaching out to us, and we truly appreciate your loyalty to Villa del Palmar Cabo. We’re very sorry to hear about the difficulty you’ve had reaching us by phone. Due to the temporary closure, the Villa del Palmar Cabo line has been redirected to Villa del Arco, where our team can assist with any questions related to Palmar or transfer calls to the appropriate department.
Regarding your upcoming stay, please note that Bella Restaurant will remain closed until November, as some delays occurred due to recent weather conditions. However, we’re happy to share that we plan to offer Bella’s dinner menu in the front area once setup is complete—please inquire with the resort team for more information on this.
We truly value your continued trust and understanding, and we look forward to welcoming you back very soon.
Is there a hot tub that children can go in now?
Hi Amanda!
Thank you for your message, for the safety and comfort of all our members and guests, our hot tubs are designed for adult use only. In the past, access for children has been limited at Villa del Palmar Cabo, and this policy continues to help ensure everyone’s well-being.
As part of our exciting renovation program, new hot tubs will soon be available around the pool area. However, at this time, we have not received confirmation that children will be allowed to use them by the resort. Even when the temperature is set to a lower level (around 98°F / 37°C), it’s important for children to limit their soak time to 5–10 minutes and always be supervised by an adult to prevent any incidents.
We look forward to welcoming you back very soon.
Good morning. We will be there from Nov 1-8. What will be available for your all-inclusive package.
Thanks
John
Hi John,

To best accommodate your request and provide all the details, please contact our Member Services team directly at:
📞 1-800-852-4755
📧 memberservices@resortcom.com
They will gladly go over everything included in the package and answer any specific questions you may have.
We look forward to welcoming you soon!
So is the old kid pool no longer there? What about the pool located above it? Those areas were so much quieter than the main pool area. If bella isnt opening until Thanksgiving what options are available for breakfast with all inclusive as that was the breakfast buffet we always used. No One mentioned things would be closed when we booked our trip for October 11th
Hi Andrew!
Thank you for reaching out and for sharing your feedback with us.
The pool that was previously located between Bella California and Estancia (Building #3) has been removed to allow for the expansion of Bella Restaurant. Members and Guests will have access to the two main pools: the Adults Pool and the Activities Pool.
While Bella California will remain closed until Thanksgiving, breakfast for all-inclusive Members and Guests will be available at alternative venues such as the Sports Bar and Tortugas Terrace.
Please note that all information and updates regarding amenities are subject to change at any time. We recommend contacting the resort directly for the most current details before your visit.
We appreciate your understanding and look forward to welcoming you for an enjoyable stay.
I have a reservation for the week of October 13. Are renovations still on track to finish by October 9, and what is the status of the pools, spas, and the Carbon restaurant?
With Bella closed, has the buffet style breakfast been relocated?
If any of these amenities remain closed or incomplete during our stay, or if we are not satisfied with the current state of the amenities, will we have all-inclusive access to your sister resorts?

I’m looking a the web cam and it doesnt look like the renovations will be complete by October 9th. Are you still planning on opening the resort on October 9th, but restricting access to the pool and lower restaurants? Or, do you have an update on when the renovations will be complete and the resort open?
Hi Sandra!
Thank you for your message and for checking in on the progress of our renovations.
Due to some unexpected weather delays, our Bella restaurant will remain closed until November. However, we’re hopeful to begin serving the Bella dinner menu in the front area as soon as next week, once the setup is finalized.
Please note that all information and updates regarding amenities are subject to change at any time. We recommend inquiring with the resort for the most recent updates.

Is Carbon expected to reopen alongside the pools later this week or with Bella in November?

We arrive on 10/9. Will both pools be available at that time? I have children and don’t want to shuttle them to another resort.
