My husband and I were fortunate enough to have attended a business event hosted at the One & Only recently and absolutely fell in love with the property! The resort grounds were lush, perfectly landscaped and stunningly beautiful. The decor is elegant, understated and beautiful. The accommodations are roomy, private, lavishly appointed and ultra-comfortable. Every room has a stunning ocean... More

Having been to some of the finest hotels in the world, it is without hesitation that this ranks right up at the top of any such list anywhere. The service is over the top, the accomodations will knock your socks off, the little "extras" the staff provides just does not end, the facilities are exquisite and while VERY expensive, so... More

A dramatic headline, but I swear that's what this trip felt like. We were so cared for, and every need was attended to. The only thing I would change is when we were at the big pool the attendants could have come around a little more often. The food in every restaurant was fabulous. We didn't leave the resort for...

Let me explain the average at best part. I'm basing that solely because of the price tag. At $1,500+ a night I was expecting much more. Not to mention the "butler" service is a joke and you can't find a drink under $30 unless it's a beer. They also charge 15% gratuity on everything. I didn't find the service all... More

My wife & I just returned from O&O Palmilla (we just had to come back after our wonderful experience there last December -- see my review for that trip) & it was outstanding once again. We just love this place (& plan to return again next May)! Just like last time we stayed in a terrace suite in the Bougainvillea... More

All the reviews on here are SPOT ON! This place is absolutely fantastic. The staff, food, Pool and Beach are breathtaking. Be prepared to spend a lot of dough, everything is expensive here BUT well worth it. More

We so enjoyed it. Were there for 4 days for a much needed getaway with 4 girlfriends. Loved every minute. Beautiful rooms, service was incredible. Its very expensive and in some instances I felt it was overpriced. We had our own butler which was amazing and they couldnt' do enough. Pool was great, beach was very rough, so we didnt'... More

For $2000 / night for a JUNIOR suite ( so one room- no separate quarters) this place is no deal. Have we heard of polished turds? The grounds were nice- no doubt. Most staff were at best passive aggressive, came across as unpolished and aggressive inappropriately. Could be a cultural thing- but for $2000 we expected some degree of courtesy... More

In brief, One and Only is overpriced, lacks real value, and fails to deliver on its services. We thought to try it once for special 3 day getaway and will not go again. We usually stay at Four Seasons for the good value ( $300-$700) and impeccable service. We just stayed at One and Only for the first time and... More
