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.

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.

This resort is pet friendly. That was one of my criteria. It’s supposed to be a non-smoking property. Folks are frequently smoking outside the rooms which I understand is allowed. There was some smoking in a room yesterday that was permeating my room occasionally, but today has been bad. Someone has been smoking in a room all day. It’s tolerable, but unpleasant and annoying. Otherwise the resort is cute and right off the beach. It has a mom and pop feel. The beach is clean. Plenty of sea gulls. The room has a microwave and a coffee maker and a refrigerator and a small sink in the kitchen. There is a table, chairs, a small sofa and a small dresser. I have only eaten at the restaurant once. The first person who approached me was not welcoming (it may have been because of the dogs- but I was in the outside portion of the restaurant where they are allowed ) but the excellent waiter and waitress more than made up for him. The meal was ok but not crave-able. The Caesar salad needs anchovies and lemon- more acid, and shaved cheese. I’m on a budget so I picked up groceries from Walmart and have been using them. Without a cooking surface in the room I have had to be creative. I learned how to make microwave scrambled eggs. I have not been in the pool yet. It is small but it looks inviting. The landscaping is thoughtful and attractive and the grounds are clean. There is a security person at night. The staff so far have been helpful. All in all this is a nice chill spot.
