The Palms Resort

We booked this hotel because it's pet friendly and its near the beach. We wanted to be able to enjoy as much time on the beach as possible. This location did not disappoint. The location - this place is located right on the water. It was very easy for us to get all of our things and spend all day at the beach. There is a restaurant and the food was very delicious. We ate there twice during our stay, blackened mahi was good. The parking lot is small, and it can get a little crowded since people will go there to eat, that aren't guests of the hotel. We didn't move our car much during peak times, so we were not impacted by that much. Rooms - our room was very clean when we arrived. We booked a suite room and it was all we needed. Bed was comfy, plenty of outlets around the bed to charge up, big fridge and a microwave. The decor was very plain, but thats not a negative. Pet Friendlyness - there is a charge for your pup to stay. Everything was very pet friendly. They are not allowed in the restaurant, but they can sit you near the pool to eat, which our dog loved because he got all the attention from the kids playing in the pool. One of the waiters was very friendly and my dog immediately became bff's. Wifi - there is Wifi in the rooms. This was the only issue for me. I had to hop on a work meeting and I struggled to connect to my work. I ended up using my phone as a Hotspot and barely got by. Keep that in mind if you need to work remotely. Closest star b's is 15 min car ride

Stayed here two nights, first off, the staff are excellent. Couple key points, the beach out front is packed with people all day long and many cart their way in from vehicles or across the street. It is not “private” in any way because there is a public access beach ramp in the parking lot that everyone seems to know about. The public restaurant/bar can be very crowded too. Food is good, but upper price range. The pool is full of sand from everyone washing off from the beach instead of using the shower out by the walkway. Saw kids flat covered in sand hopping in the pool to rinse off. Room is pretty small with damaged and dated furniture. Front living room, half wall, bed, half wall, bathroom, strange layout. There were absolutely zero utensils or plates in kitchen. Nothing to put food on for the tiny microwave. Tiny bathroom and toilet with very low water pressure, no room around bathroom sink. Tub had been converted to walk in shower years ago and needed a hard scrubbing, very low shower pressure. WiFi works but TV had constant buffering problems. DO NOT try to bring a boat trailer, tight parking is very limited. I would rate this place expensive for what it provides, it’s just old and needs a facelift.

The property was located on the beach which made the trips to the beach so much easier and exciting. The rooms are a perfect fit for a family on a budget wanting beach access. The hotel cafe is a perfect lunch and dinner spot.

Very nice. Hotel was very clean. Excellent location. We are telling the rest of our family about it.
