This resort has its good points - the rooms are spacious and it's on a decent beach. However, the staff need extensive training (or retraining), the rooms and public areas need refurbishing and management needs to get some common sense! Based on the amount of money you pay to stay here, they need to step up their game - you... More

del Mar is closely attached to the Palma where you check in, which is easy. You will be nudged to go the the Flamingo - a new timeshare - for a presentation which includes breakfast.
