  Unfortunately we were staying in the midst of tropical storm Debby. The staff was very accommodating offering us an additional night at a discount because we couldn't get off the island. The biggest problem was that we lost TV reception.

  • Manager Responded on 8/9/2024

    We are happy to hear our team was able to accommodate you and that you still enjoyed your stay. We hope to see you back on island!

  Christopher T from Ellenton, FL recommends this vacation rental

  The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The unit we stayed in unfortunately was very dated and needs a serious uplift! The bed reminded me of Fred Flintstones concrete slab bed. The actual experience of being on the island was really cool! However if you’re looking for a lot of fun things to do, there really isn’t much going on on the island. There is one restaurant which is really good actually, but that’s the only place you can really go to eat. Make sure you bring all the groceries you need because the store is extremely expensive, however the staff are very friendly and accommodating there as well.

  A perfect getaway for anyone who is just interested in beautiful clean beaches and Blue green water This is the place to be. Our 4 days was spent walking, and shelling the beaches. We rent a golf cart in order to visit the entire island. This last visit was our third time there. I can’t wait to go again!

  This island is absolutely gorgeous from the views to the dauphin that played in front of us on the beach for over an hour. The only down fall to this resort is there is only one restaurant on the island. So you have to take the fair and then a 20-30 minute ride to find more restaurants.

  Kenneth S from Fargo, ND does not recommend this vacation rental.

  1. The grounds were beautiful and well kept, except the roads were badly ignored with many potholes and standing water depressions. They need some fill and grading.
  2. All staff were delightful and helpful. Melissa and Lisa in the office deserve special kudos.
  3. Our unit needed a lot of work...everything needs painting, many electrical switches and receptacles were broken or cracked, cookware was cheap and in poor shape, porch screens needed repair, shower lightbulb burned out, furniture beat up and dirty especially recliner, tile floor hadn’t been mopped in a while, carpet needed cleaning (note, the dirt road material sticks to shoes and tracks in a lot), minimal linens, towels.
  4. In short, nice resort, sketchy unit.
  5. This would be a great place if the unit itself was kept up

  • Manager Responded on 2/25/2020

    Thank you for sharing. We'll be taking a closer look at this villa, and I think the roads are better already. The road team has been working on them.

  The best place to go for a true beach vacation. My wife and kids stayed here 25 years ago. It was the best vacation I ever had, so I thought let’s go again. Not much has changed, beautiful beaches, Gulf of Mexico, relaxation at its best. If you like the sun ,sand, and pools, this is the place to go. Restaurant is very affordable, the villas are comfortable and clean. Can’t wait to go again!

  My husband and I were in need of a break from work, home life, pet care, etc. We have been to Palm Island last year and knew exactly where we needed to go again for a much needed get-away trip. We live just an hour north, but once we go across on the car ferry, ride our bikes to the lovely villa and settle in.....we feel like we are somewhere "way far away"!! Breakfast on the porch overlooking the Gulf is my favorite part. Palm Island is such a serene, relaxing place. We will be back!

  We truly enjoy the property and vacation at Palm Island every summer. Constructive criticism: some of the front desk staff members and the gal working coconuts could use guest service training. However, consistently Dan and the young man who is the supervisor of the coconuts are consistently pleasant and helpful. Some guest service training in key positions would make for an enhanced experience. I would consider updating Rum Bay due to the decore and feel of the restraunt we choose to use the grills on property.

Other than that we had a good experience EXCEPT for the driver of the golf cart one evening when taking us back to our Villa after dinner at your restaurant. We had to YELL that he was backing into some posts (he would have hit them and injured those of us on the back seat facing the posts!), when we did he coped a major attitude! Other than that we enjoyed our stay and everyone else we encountered! Thanks so much. Will be coming back!!!!!

  My husband & I were getting away for a weekend alone and thought that Palm Island would be a perfect locations since we live so close. We were right! It was amazing. We were able to enjoy the screened porch early in the morning overlooking the beautiful grounds which included an awesome view of the beach. There was plenty to do if you wanted or you could just take it easy. The couples weekend package was well worth it. Highly recommend it!!!! You won't be disappointed.

  Maria R from Odessa, Fl recommends this vacation rental

  A wonderful escape!!! Pristine, clean beaches, beautiful pool and surround. I do have to report that at least one of each the grills in each area did not work. Also, a 6 foot tan.brown snake slithered between both grill areas and I reported the event, but am not sure anything was done about it. My gentleman thought it was a rattler due to the telltale rattles on the end of lengthy tail. Diameter of my two fingers in width. We were also given an offer on the way out of the place that required an instant, impulsive decision that lasted only 24 hours that I did not feel was appropriate. We should have had at least a week to entertain that offer before it went away. We may have taken them up on the offer. Also, we had to replace two batteries---one in the remote and the entire flashlight due to not working. These could have been troubleshot ahead of time, and be part of an inventory checkoff list for each unit. Otherwise, a fabulous experience, my seventh visit over the course of 20 years at Palm Island. The entire staff was professional, warm, and engaging and worked with the visitors and their requests to the best of their ability/availability of request. The villa was well supplied and very clean.I would love to see a coupon offered to your regular visitors to encourage more and regular visits that would extend perhaps 15% off of future visits to be used at ANY time, that sort of thing. The 50% was very enticing, but the impulsive nature of it was offputting.
  
  We will be back at some point to this wonderful resort, and a coupon would seal the deal.
  
  Many thanks,
  Maria Raysses-Whipple

We were lucky in that "Walter" from the Rum Bay Restarant came over in his car & took us back about 8.30pm. The water taxi should ask passengers who will need a return ride & when!!!!

  ALEX G from VALRICO, FL recommends this vacation rental

  I had the experience of a lifetime. I called to schedule the Honeymoon Special while talking on the phone I mentioned several times the importance of everything going as plan and how there was no room for error. I was re-assured that everything was going to be just as promised. I called back about a month before my reservation and Kathy confirmed that everything was going to go as promised. To my surprise it all started by the way I was greeted at the ferry, at the parking lot and at the reception office. It was like if I had stepped into a place where everything was about me and my wife. It was enough to show me the place I had selected to celebrate my 5 years anniversary was the right one. I had taken the Honeymoon Special package which included a renewal of the vows ceremony, being a guy and not thinking about the small details I had not thought about a bouquet of flowers for my beautiful bride; however apparently I was not the first one to have forgotten... I received a personal phone call to my cell phone by no other than Kathy (the same Kathy that had given me a piece of mind a month before) who was going to perform the ceremony. Kathy asked me if I had any particular time for the ceremony, I asked what she recommended and she suggested a sunset ceremony, then asked me if I remembered to bring the flowers and when my answer was no, she once again exceeded my expectations by saying: “don’t worry I’ll have one deliver to your room tomorrow before I go by to pick you up”. It was said and done. Kathy was there to pick us up and to take us to a beautiful spot. No need to say my entire experience was a success and everyone in the island was great. If you are looking for a place to clear your mind and possibly getting reacquainted with romance and love or simply finding a great hideaway for you and your family, look no further and make your reservation today!

  JAYNE K from APOLLO BEACH, FL recommends this vacation rental

  We love Palm Island,and have tried to visited once/twice annually for many years. The best 5 minutes of my year is spent on the ferry going TO Palm Island, and I can actually feel my heartbeat change/breath slow as I know how relaxing the next few days will be spent here. The resort units vary in size/decor and some have been modernized with newer kitchen cabinets and appliances, but doesn't particularly matter to me since we spend so little time indoors. It's all about the gorgeous beach, and my beachview porch, and my chaise placed next to the sound of lapping surf, and the little ghost crab I see out of the corner of my eye popping up out of his hole. We bring our own groceries, and occasionally dh will grill steaks, but mostly we all grab cold fried chicken/salad/fruit/snacks whenever we feel like it. We do not move fast here..we wake up when we feel like it and go to bed when we feel like it, and the atmosphere is stress-free. Biggest decision is whether to ride a bike, take a golf cart or walk down to hear Redbeard (the resident pirate which is great fun for the kids). Palm Island Resort is a perfect beach holiday!
