What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Palmas del Mar Marina is appreciated for its friendly and attentive staff, particularly Glenda, and its pleasant restaurant with ocean views. It serves as a good stopover point with essential services. However, some visitors note outdated bathroom facilities, potential issues with dock hardware, and a narrow, challenging marina entrance.
"A great stopover for both directions.
Be careful very narrow entrance.
Good Marina people.
Clean docks, Rolly as Hell..! It’s like you’re out sailing with 20 knots wind.
Poles are totally rusted and very sharp and thorny! 2 of my brand new lines are already destroyed!
Cleats on the dock are with broken dangerous rusty edges!!!
Bathrooms are outdated and rusted. No hot water after dark.
There is Wifi but it doesn’t work other than the restaurant and office area!
Nice pool area with a cool restaurant.
No supermarkets nearby but a small convenience store.
A nice small plaza with a great Pizza maker and bar nearby."

"I just had a conversation with the most wonderful an attentive employee, Glenda from this Marina. I live in Orlando Fl and I am trying to get information as to how to hire a boat and captain in Puerto Rico to assist my daughter, who lives in DC, in the scattering of my son in laws ashes. Although this place is more of a docking for those with their own vessels, she took the time to listen to me and my needs and to assist me with information as to the locations which will be closer from where we would be staying and gave me a number that might be able to help. Perhaps she may not think it as a big deal but to me it was. My son in law, who was Jewish by Birth but Puerto Rican by soul, last request was to have his ashes scattered in the Caribbean Sea. He loved the sea, island and the hospitality of the people. So thank you Glenda, for caring, listening and for wanting to assist. Seems your company earn another five stars, may it continue: "safely to this harbor and the security of their own homes and families""

"Marina facilities are great and staff are welcoming. Marina has a restaurant, laundry, store, showers, water and electricity. We only stopped for 3 nights when the weather was bad but I'd definitely come back."
