A Conference, Resort, Hotel with first class amenities and its only 10 min away from Bacolod Central. 

Palmas del Mar is a sprawling 5 acre seafront property that is a favorite venue for garden weddings (beach weddings) and family getaways. Room prices range from Php 1,500 (Lagoon rooms and Garden rooms) to P4,800 (Premier suites good for 6 persons) with discounts of up to 30% during the low season. Guests are sure to enjoy the refreshing sea air, 5 swimming pools in landscaped gardens, a sunset like no other, and a relaxing resort lay-out that make you feel you're at home in an haciendero's private villa.

All rooms have terrazas or balconies and of course a view. The best-selling Mediterranean and Poolside Suites and the garden rooms have access to two jacuzzi and an elegant private pool that's lit with torches at night. The nearby cabanas, standalone one-story structures with two bedrooms, a dining area, and a veranda, are perfect for small families and groups. For those who enjoy life around the big pool and the bar, the Iberian suites give both view and accessibility to the center of life in the resort. 

Palmas is the way it is because it is owned and managed by the families of two sons of the late centralista and sugar industry leader, Dr. Antonio A. Lizares. A scion of the Lizares family of Talisay City (the family ancestral home, Balay ni Tana Dicang in Talisay was built in the 1880s and is the best preserved heritage home in the province), Dr. Lizares founded what is now the University of Negros Occidental - Recoletos, was at one time a governor of the province, and was well known as a civic leader and philanthropist.

The resort structures reflect the rambling Spanish architecture of the Lizares Rodriguez Mansion, which was built after the war to be the residence of Dr. Lizares and his wife Carmen. Palmas is part of a family legacy that includes several residential and commercial subdivisions, Bacolod Convention Plaza (now the Luxur Plaza Hotel), the old Bacolod airport, the diocesan seminary and Sacred Heart Shrine, San Antonio Abad Church, the Neg. Occ. Girl Scouts headquarters, St. Vincent's Home for the Aged, Bacolod Police Headquarters, Bacolod South Public Market, and a number of public elementary and secondary schools as well as a college.
