Loved the beach. When I booked it ahowed 2 queen beds and I got only 1. There was no water pressure when takkng a shower. That was the major complaint but overall good. The cafe had really good food service questionable dependsnon server but I still enjoyed my stay. Not a lot of rowdiness thank goodness with spring break. Staff was nice. Trash cans super small but I always bring my own trash bag for that reason. I didnt like the parking situation. There should be designated parking for guests staying at resort. People dining would take up our parking.
View from the cafe.
Beach close to resort!

Parking was very limited, if you get a spot don’t go anywhere once you park. First impression was not flattering but it became obvious that someone worked very hard to prepare the room. A bit more reasonable than others, but I would not stay there again.

Great stay!

It was great! Right at the beach and charming room with 60’s, 70’s vibe. We had out dog so being able to order to go from their cafe was perfect and the meals were all delicious!

Big room with a small living area that was clean and comfortable. The location is amazing! The cafe is fabulous! The only complaints I have is the toilet is tiny and the sheets are scratchy.

I love love love this place. Can't say enough good things about it. Been staying here for last few years. This last time, though, i was a bit disappointed that i couldn't sleep as well because a couple and 2 little children were in the room next to mine, and i could hear them banging, jumping, screeching in the early mornings. Never had to deal with that before, I'm surprised they stayed here, it's not really kid oriented, there aren't kiddie water areas here, and the rooms are more for single people or couples with no children. That's not the The Palms' fault, though, for the most part it's a quiet, safe, wonderful place with a great, accommodating restaurant, clean rooms, beautiful, calm atmosphere.

We’ve been staying at The Palms a few times each year for about 15 years. It’s always a pleasurable stay and visit. And we will continue to stay with them when we come out to the Island.
