  Palm Island is my piece of paradise and has been for the last 40 years. It is a beautiful, peaceful place unspoiled by crowds. We were there over a holiday weekend and we maybe say 10 people on the beach. Staff is great. Rental units are clean and well stocked. It is just perfect.

  This is our second year staying within the resort, and we loved it just the same! The location, amenities and peacefulness is exactly what we were looking for.

  Jennifer H from Boynton Beach, FL recommends this vacation rental

  Our family has been to Palm Island many times, but this was our first time staying at the resort. It was absolutely wonderful! The staff at the resort-- everyone from the registration, concierge and bellmen-- exceeded our expectations. We stayed in 2624. The unit was accurately described, clean and functional. The location was great! The unit could use upgrading, especially in the bathrooms and kitchen. I must also note that both the washing machine and dryer should be replaced. The dryer had a bad habit of eating parts of our clothes, which ruined them-- nothing major, but still it should be replaced, so that future guests don't have the same problem. Overall, we had a wonderful experience, and wouldn't hesitate to stay at the resort again, but we would probably choose a different unit, unless changes are made to the one we stayed in.

  a guest from Rochester, NY recommends this vacation rental

  Onboarding process to the island was easier than expected. Car ferry runs every 10 mins so no long wait. Check in was a breeze and bellhops took us to our villa and brought up all the luggage. Recommend buying groceries at publix before hand so you have supplies for your first day or so. Villa was clean and spacious and the view was superb. The only thing we did not know beforehand was it is 3 flights up and no elevator. We didn't have a problem but that information should be presented at time of rental in case of elderly or disabled persons. Rum Bay had excellent food and even cooked our catch from our offshore charter (Paradise Fishing)- also recommend. Staff was very friendly and helpful and made you feel like you were home. Also recommend renting a golf cart so you can explore. They also have grills you can use to cook your favorite meats. Pool and hot tub also a plus. Hated to leave this resort.

  The cable box in the living room did not work.
  Dead fish on the shore was a bit of a turnoff. Pool was great. A few accommodations could be made for guests staying a week. i.e. free golf cart.
  This was a wedding so many condos were rented. It was surprising the bride and groom were not given any recognition. When my granddaughter was married the couple was given a free night at the venue with a free breakfast.

  • Manager Responded on 11/23/2019

  Philip L from Williamsville, NY recommends this vacation rental

  We were in from out of town to attend a wedding taking place on Palm Island.
  We have attended a number of destination weddings over the years but found the Palm Island group to be the most interactive and helpful. There were nine of us, including young children, staying in one of their large villas. There was plenty of room with a very nice kitchen, living room, multiple bedrooms and bathrooms. There was easy and safe access to a beautiful pool right behind the villa and a very short walk behind that was a beautiful beach! There is a very nice restaurant, a separate café, tennis courts and a very nice separate exercise area. All of us felt that the stay at Palm Island was much more than we expected and are talking about another trip down together.

  Lovely island, great help by bellman/registration staff. A little confused once off the ferry where to go, a sign would help, unless I missed it!? Also, better information about water taxi hours as we had to cancel/make reservations on the island as the taxi wouldn't accommodate our planned dinner at Leverock's (plus heck of a walk had we used car ferry). I would definitely come back as I felt a million miles away and it took 1 1/2 hours from St. Pete, FL to make the trip.

  What a great, quiet spot so close to home. The ferry ride makes you feel like you're really going somewhere, even though it is a short ride. Our unit was perfect. The kids were all upstairs in the loft area and our location to the pool and beach were just perfect. My son can't wait to go back too - mainly to drive the golf carts and find shark teeth. Not the most handicapped friendly location, but we knew that going in. The staff was extremely helpful. The Land & Sea package was well worth it too! You just have to make your own nightlife as the ice cream shop closes early.

  Although the condo was clean, the furniture was a little dated and worn. For example there was a large hole in the ottoman cushion that should be repaired and the sliding glass doors did not lock well. But Palm Island is such a wonderful place to vacation those little things did not distract from a great time.

  Carolyn H from Walpole, MA recommends this vacation rental

  Your employees couldn't be any nicer - love them! Everything was clean, the rooms were nice, the view even better. It was such a nice escape that I don't like to complain but maybe if you could stock the rooms with a reasonable hair dryer instead of that silly wallmounted barbie fixture - that would be fantastic! And staff the pool with a grill man for a few hours during the day...that'll make the hungry people happy and put a few more bucks in your bank account! Great stay, loved it...will definitely be back and will recommend! Thank you!! Carolyn

  really liked the SIZE of the units, very spacious and allowed for our party of 12 to gather and eat meals together. Didn't like how you could hear so much on 1st floor from 2nd floor walking. Enjoyed and plan to go back.

  a guest from Hascombe Surrie, United Kingdom recommends this vacation rental

  Beautifully remote but close enough to civilisation to mean the girls in the family could particpate in a touch of retail therapy, Palm Island gave us a week of relaxation, shell collecting, swimming with dolphins and manatees, and pelican, sea eagle and gull watching, mixed with tortoise and armadilo spotting.
  Our condo was equppied with all of the modcons and was beautifully clean - in short, perfect. My recommendation is to rent a top floor condo like we did so as to get the best view of the beach.
  The evening's entertainment was watching the astonishing sunset (from the balcony or down on the beach), or being terrified by the lightning storms.
  Our only niggle was the food at the Rum Bay restaurant; the service was outstanding but not matched by the food, we felt.
  But overall, an absolutley fabulous location with super friendly staff. Highly recommended.

  Disappointed we ad to pay extra fpr 6 person golf cart when we had a 3 bedroom unit. It's not worth the dissatisfaction for $15. Otherwise, we were happy with the resort. We did not use the bikes or kayaks which were in the cost of the stay. But, the room was Great! and we would return.

  Our stay at Palm Island worked out to be a very relaxing family break. It was great to relax and enjoy life at a slower pace for a fe days. Our children ages 4 and 6 loved the beach, pools and the pirate show. Hopefully we will be back again next year.

  We have vacationed at Palm Island Resort numerous times since the late 1980s. The villas, beach, pools, courts, and amenities have been well cared for through guests, storms, and constant sun. The island is as inviting and unspoiled as we found it on our first visit. Kudos!!

  Sonia S from Foxton, Leics recommends this vacation rental

  we came back to palm island after 17 years and it was more or less unchanged which was good. The unit was a little worn and the sheets on the main bed were rough with bobbles on which was a pity. We asked for 4 rooms for 8 adults ( 4 couples) and the 2 rooms upstairs were not private and both open to below and to each other which we had not expected- we knew one of the rooms was open to below but not the other. We did ask reception about this but they were not really interested. Overall we did not want to make a fuss and sowe managed. We had wanted to have a family holiday with 4 couples - 3 of which were our children with partners - so we tolerated this. Otherwise the place was absolutely fine although the porch screen was torn and the carpet and furnishings rather worn. As we booked for 2 weeks it would have been helpful to have been offered a linen change and a clean especially considering that this is not an inexpensive rental and there did not appear to be a discount for a longer stay.

• We had such a fabulous time! Palm Island is gorgeous.. too bad we couldn't have stayed longer. I've already told all of my friends and family that we have to go back!!

• Palm Island is an excellent choice for a family reunions and vacations! We first visited 20 years ago and have been coming back ever since. It is just as beautiful and tranquil now as it was then.

  Our children have grown up with Palm Island summer vacation memories. The property's spacious design lends itself to freedom for the children to have fun and not disturb quests who would rather not have children around. This gives those of us with children of all ages the ability to also relax and enjoy the serenity of Palm Island, too!

Somewhat disappointed about the view because it wasn't on the beach. However, it didn't detract from the overall vacation. Wonderful place to go and we will be back.
