Paid top dollar for best room with private pool, no privacy whatsoever, people walking past, and there is a lot, can and do see straight in. Who puts all their best rooms next to a main road, The road traffic is next level loud even inside with doors shut. Antisocial behaviour coming from the park across the road and those walking past made you feel unsafe and not want to sit outside to enjoy your holiday. Room was refurbished and clean, pool was also great and the rainforest look they are going for was lovely.

Really enjoyed our stay between Dec 21 - 28, 2023. The only unsavory comment I have is that we wereneverable to get the cook to answer the bell to get cooked eggs for breakfast. Everything else was great and would recommend this accommodation! Thank you Palms City Resort Staff!
