Palmas del Mar Conference Resort Hotel is a 5 acre family owned seaside property with garden and indoor function areas, 55 guestrooms and suites, 5 swimming pools, and a restaurant, and poolside bar. The resort is a restful haven cooled by sea breezes and the shade of palm and acacia trees less than 15 minutes from the noise and traffic of downtown Bacolod City (categorized as a Highly Urbanized City), Rooms begin at P1,750.00 and all have a view and a balcony or a terrace. Unlike most hotels, our guests get more than just the four corners of their rooms. Hotel guests enjoy free resort entrance and swimming, a privilege they may share with two day guests. Since others may join them for a minimal fee, Palmas is the perfect venue for balikbayans and others who expect family and friends to drop by. To be a guest in Palmas is to be a guest of a prestigious Negrense clan, the family of the late Dr. Antonio Alunan Lizares, wealthy land owner and sugar planter, centralista, benefactor of Church and community, Papal Awardee, and founder of what is now the University of Negros Occidental-Recoletos. Continuing the legacy of their grandparents in property inherited from them, the cousins who now own and operate Palmas are committed to maintaining the resort as a wholesome and environmentally sustainable refuge for families, groups, and individuals.
