Thank you so so much for lightening my day by coming home to find these pictures. What a great shot at the Ceviche bar. My photos are not great at all and need a better camera. They are all too distant. Then Barry has sent on ones of my serves and of us. It is wonderful, and yes, had to wait a long time for them to chug out of my computer.
Was it a dream? Could it be possible that only 2 weeks ago I was lazing in your pool, trundling along to the tennis courts, eating those delicious bananas, the morning Smoothies, the shrimp etc etc. It was all so wonderful, so relaxing, the foods, so so good. Thank you all for making it that way for us. I will never forget particularly the kindness of Fergie and Paco on my first 2 days feeding me, seeing the wreck I was!! Thank you.
We really had the best time with you. It was perfect for us as we so love to play tennis and every day came another variation, sometimes very low key and sometimes very high key, like doubles with Martin, Fergie and Osvaldo or Mario!! Hey, I never played with you John! Then my change of serve, and wish I'd had more time to practice.
My trip back was very good (except for going through with 3 bananas and had to go through Agricultural X ray etc!! I offerred them the bananas too) and made my connections OK. I have only played once the day after my return and was quite jet lagged and worked every day since except for Sunday, yesterday.
I miss you all, had such a great time , and Barry and I really want to return possibly in November. Thank you for everything and sending such great pictures. I think your place is so great! My tan is already fading!
Wish I could return!

Muchas gracias para su hospitalidad. Even though several Canadians had been to Melaque, I wasn't prepared for the beauty of the hotel, beach and tennis courts. Stupendous!
From the very first day everything was a delight; the ambience and friendliness of your hotel and staff, the beauty of the beach and the artistically appointed and well equipped suites. The pretty and well maintained clay tennis courts cannot surely be matched. I was particularly impressed by Fergie's skilful and patient lessons. They were the best! The positive interaction of all the people I met through your tennis camp was the highlight of my trip. A great experience!
I have shown the pictures to the Ladies at our club and they were very favourably impressed. Let's go they say! I'll get them organized for next winter.
Thanks for the great vacation,
See you again for sure!

Highly recommended! Tennis every morning on 4 beautiful red clay courts - who could ask for more! El Palmar is very laid back and relaxed, and the price is right!
El Palmar is so well tended and comfortable - everyone feels like family there. The tennis is a big draw for us, but we'd go even if we weren't playing tennis!
We flew into Puerta Villarta, rented a car, and enjoyed the drive to melaque. We found plenty of good places to eat, and enjoyed the lovely beach and the morning tennis. We loved our spacious and beautiful Suite; the rooms were clean and spacious, the furniture comfortable, and the bed divine. The weather was great, and we will definitely be back.
