Palmas del Mar, Puerto Rico – Quick Guide | Accommodations and Dining
Palmas del Mar resort community in Puerto Rico, quick guide for accommodations, restaurants, services, and more.
We recently moved to the beautiful resort community of Palmas del Mar in Humacao, Puerto Rico. Palmas del Mar is a popular resort community for tourists, weekend home for PR residents, and some full time residents (like me). It is located on the East coast of Puerto Rico surrounded by the Caribbean Sea.
I meet many tourists coming to our beautiful community, so here is a quick guide for your visit.

Our room was simple, with sunken bathtub and huge walk-in closet. The real in-room feature is the balcony!
The resort property is massive, with a little bit of everything. Just getting there involved driving through the enormous golf course (slight pun intended). There are several pools on each level, complete with poolside cafes, and many different restaurants.
