We had the most wonderful time. We we here for my daughters wedding. Everything was beautiful. Every single staff member is helpful and so nice. Accommodations were great, and the beach is such a dream. We will be back!"

"Staff and villa
It was a nice weekend. However, I was displeased to find dried blood on the guest bedroom light switch on the wall and dried blood on a
shower towel up in the loft bathroom. The villa needs a lot of updating, the chairs around the dining table are very low compared to the table."

Great way to decompress and reenergize after attending a trade show in Orlando. Super peaceful and quiet with uncrowded beaches and delicious ribs at dinner."

"attention to the details
This property is in need of some updates. The ceiling fan on the porch is rusted and squeaks really bad when on. The cabinets in the downstairs bathrooms are broken and need new hinges. The upstairs blinds need to be updated, they are broken and hard to open-which is probably why they are broken. I would not recommend this property to anyone at this price. The beds and furniture are uncomfortable. You go to the beach to vacation to relax and it is hard to do when you cannot sleep good. I would recommend some better pillows and bedding. The upstairs beds in the loft are very small, and extremely uncomfortable...even with the egg crate... my 9 & 10 yr old complained all week.
Your review on the website should reflect that these beds are for small kids. The furniture outside is also uncomfortable. Some high-top chairs would give a better view of the ocean. You need to put things like dish towels and pot holders in the kitchen. A larger trash can in the kitchen also, especially for families who cook several meals a day, that small one fills up fast. You also have an aunt problem in the kitchen, making sure your bait traps stay changed out would be helpful. All this to say, the management was awesome and very friendly to accommodate what they could. I will definitely come back to this location but I will not recommend this condo to anyone. "

"After 25 years, we won't be back.
I've been coming to the resort with family 25+ years. This year the airline changed our flight to very early in the morning. We arrived earlier than expected with our luggage. 3 teens, and $700 worth of perishable food. The bellhops (who were awesome) loaded our bags and food onto their cart for transport to the unit. We arrived at 2 PM and check in is at 3 PM. The room was listed as ready on their information sheet they use with housekeeping. The nice young lady at reception was ready to help and told us the room was in fact clean. But Melissa, hollering from her back office, would not allow us in the unit before 3 PM, not even to put our food in the refrigerator. She made no attempt to help us whatsoever. Our food just sat on the bellhop cart in 100degree Florida heat. I understand the 3 PM check in rule, but this is a resort, not a Holiday Inn. In the hospitality industry, every attempt should be made to help out the guest with any and all issues. Melissa did not. I pleaded with her to no avail. Fortunately, the bellhop staff defied her and took all of our things to the unit anyway. Overall, we won't be returning. Jamie and Melissa (a different Melissa) at Coconuts are always great. The bellhops saved the day. But Melissa at reception needs to seek out a different profession, as she is not cut out for hospitality. This never happened in the old days. I think more care is given to owners than guests. As one owner explained, she would not be able to afford to own in the resort if it wasn't for the guests renting her unit when she was not there. We felt like we were intruders, not guests. We were very sad to be treated this way by Melissa at reception, especially after being guests for so many years. On a side note, our unit was dated and in need of repair. There were little bugs or mites in the kitchen and the largest cockroach I'd ever seen in the bathroom closest to the kitchen. I didn't even bother to discuss this with the front desk for obvious reasons."

"Very disappointing stay at
Arrived to find out that we were moved to a unit off the beach, then were placed in a unit on the beach that but far below expectations for what was described as a deluxe unit. Unit was dirty, chairs were stained, bathroom door did not close, bathroom fan not working, masterbath tub caulking was dirty, kitchen stove drawer was falling off, cabinets did not close properly, TV only worked sometimes after many reboots. Unit has not been updated for some time. Ghost ants were everywhere."

"Perfect Family Getaway!
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. I would highly recommend bringing your own pillows as that was something that was left to the wanting. We enjoyed the quietness and relaxed atmosphere. We can’t wait to go back next year!"

"3 Bedroom Beach Villa
2nd time to Palm Island ... love the resort, but this particular property is in need of alot of work - not just aesthetics but also functional ie., inoperative ceiling fans, very slow drains in the showers, difficult sliding glass doors, etc. Rental cost is lower than most but still too high for condition of property."

"Disappointed with Deluxe Unit
We absolutely love Palm Island. This year was our 2nd 1 week stay. This unit had the best view for sunsets. The furniture - fabric chairs and couch were stained. Coffee pot was not cleaned out and had molded coffee grounds left behind. One master bath Faucet didn’t work. Guest bath tub downstairs, didn’t drain properly. Bath towels had holes in them. Dryer caused black marks on our white clothing. Outside screen door broken and the closer sticking out and rusty. Dangerous for our kids. Deck chairs moldy. Disappointed with this Deluxe unit. "

"Wonderful PI Resort!
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."

"Palm Island is beautiful place but some resort rentals need work
We come to Palm Island every year. We have loved this resort and the area for 20 plus years. We brought 2 extra people with us this time. 8 total. We Needed a eight person villa with 3 bathrooms. We were disappointed with this stay. Upon arrival our villa was very hot. After running the AC for many hours the temps would not go down. The AC was not working properly. After multiple attempts by maintenance, it was finally discovered that the filters were so clogged and dirty the AC unit couldn’t work properly. It was obvious regular maintenance never happened. The downstairs bathroom shower was broken and could not be used the entire stay. Guests had to use our master bathroom which was a inconvenience. We were never told at booking this bathroom had issues. The resort knew the tub was broken before we arrived but we were not informed until we arrived from Ohio. At that point we had traveled 18 hours and had no choice but deal with it. The pool directly behind our villa was closed our entire stay until the last day. We never got to use it. Again I wasn’t told of this issue even though I specifically wanted the villa because of the view of the pool
From our deck. We had to use Another pool which was out of site from our balcony. We were not told of this prior to arriving either. It was closed when we arrived. Traveling with kids, we liked the fact we could view the pool from our balcony. All of the issues with this villa required us to take time from our vaca making phone calls and waiting around for maintenance people. It caused use not to be able to relax and have a stress free vaca. After having some issues for 3 years in a row with rentals on Palm Island, We decided to book a different vacation spot for 2020. I hope this review will let Palm Island resort know they need to pay more attention to their rentals and make sure customers are getting what they are paying for. It’s too expensive to stay there and be disappointed with the rental and "

"Paradise on the ocean
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. "

"Great Location
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. "

Great ocean and pool view, well equipped with dishes. Needs water damage fixed as floors have several soft spots. Soft sheets. Glass offer table too large and overall decor needs updating.

We love Palm Island and the overall experience. The staff was friendly and helpful. The specific unit we stayed in was good.

"Weekend Getaway
We rented a 3-bedroon villa to treat the kids to a fun weekend before school starts. We live less than a hour away, but the ferry ride makes it feel like a real getaway! There were plenty of activities: we swam at the pool and beach, rode bikes, paddle boarded, fished, cooked out, and enjoyed the golf cart and the sunsets. Our villa was convenient and spacious. Our biggest complaint is not that the villa is in need of a remodel (it does need one... BIG TIME!). Our complaint is that it was really dirty around the edges, with an accumulation of dust, sand, food crumbs and hair (yes, disgusting). Apparently, housekeeping wipes down the surfaces, but deep cleaning of floors, baseboards, window sills, furniture, etc. is performed annually. I can't recall ever renting any accommodation this dirty, and at over $400 a night, the villa's condition was even more disappointing. We want to visit again, but we'll ask to inspect the villa before we move in!"

"We want to come back!
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."

"Bachelorette Party Weekend!
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."

Everything was perfect during our stay at the island while attending a family wedding. Our condo was well furnished and very clean throughout.

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."

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"

"A touch of paradise
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 special holiday
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."

I have been comming for the las 5 years and I had recomend it to many friends in USA and south America . Best place to rest!!!"

"Wonderful Vacation
Having lived in Florida for 40 years and never heard of Palm Island, we were excited to visit. What an incredible property. Our location was great, the beach was beautiful (tons of shells - comparable to Sanibel). Can't wait to return. "

"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! "

Overall, great vacation for my family. In regard's to the amenities inside the villa, recommend upgrading TVs to be larger, able to connect video games to it, and upgrade to a DVD player vs. VHS. 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. "

With three young kids, it's a great family vacation. We've been three times so far and have another trip planned already."
