Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about The Palms Resort from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Palms Resort offers guests spacious, apartment-like rooms, with some appreciating the pool views from rooms like 11 or 12 on the first floor. The hotel's proximity to the beach is generally appreciated, being within a 10 to 15-minute walk, and the inclusion of a pass to the Sun Crest Beach Club is a valued bonus. While most found the location convenient, some have noted that the walk to the beach can feel long in the heat. A useful feature for those with late departures is the lounge area equipped with a shower, toilet, and a small kitchen.

mixed feelings on this stay

constant noisekitchen utensils
the room wasn't as relaxing as hoped. noise from above was a constant annoyance. chairs scraping on the tiled floor disrupted any chance of peace. we also found cockroaches in the kitchen several times. the limited kitchen utensils made even basic cooking difficult, and the lack of condiments was inconvenient. i wont return to this apartment.

I found the staff friendly and helpful. Nothing was like too much trouble. the free wi-fi worked excellently throughout my stay. the pass for the sunset crest beach club was a nice bonus, granting easy access to the seafront.
The ac remote stopped working . I found no spare batteries available. it became a slight inconvenience.
