"A wonderful place to visit!
Enjoyed a truly wonderful week in this beautiful unit! Our grown children and young grandchildren all had a blast! Its proximity to the pool was perfect for the little ones.
Would absolutely recommend, and hoping to return!"

"Two week summer stay
We spent two wonderful weeks in this unit. We've been coming to for over 30 years and we've stayed in this unit at least 3 times, so overall we love our experience and all the beach & pool time with family, the golf cart rides, Rum Bay, etc. The size of the unit and the number of beds make it nice so we can bring family and friends and all stay together. The kitchen is well stocked with pots & pans, lots of silverware, nice refrigerator, etc. Overall the unit is great, but is definitely starting to show some wear and tear - bar stools stained and broken, pocket door to master bath broken and non-functional so we had to use the hallway door as a bathroom door, etc. We reported the broken door to maintenance, so hopefully it will be repaired but it wasn't while we were there. We reserved the unit again for next summer. Looking forward to another great vacation with family. "

"Family Vacation
We had an amazing time at . The condo was perfect for our family and the view was incredible. We loved the privacy and natural beauty of the beach. Staff members at Coconuts were friendly and super helpful with everything we needed. We enjoyed playing tennis, riding bikes, cruising the island in golf carts, swimming, and especially time at the beach. Dinner at Rum Bay was excellent both times we at there during the week. This was our second trip to Palm Island and we will definitely be back."

"Love this villa!
Love Palm Island, and this villa even more. Very comfortable, with AMAZING views. I could literally sit there for hours just watching the ocean. The kitchen had everything we needed except a blender. There were plenty of places for our family to sleep. Palm Island itself is amazing and beautiful. Can't wait to go back."

"Nice Condo
Overall i was satisfied with the Condo i did have a couple of issues 1) the deli meat compartment lid was broken had to fit it in place after opening 2) second bathroom toilet would continue to run after flushing. Overall i would rent the Condo again next year."

"A girls birthday weekend
Our unit in was very nice. Furniture looked like it was kept in great shape and plenty of utensils, dishes, etc. I recommend putting a hair dryer and more bath towels in the upstairs bathroom. The unit is situated right at the pool and near the beach. It seems like they had some pools closed though because there were a lot of people at our pool. Also, make sure you get the times for the water taxi to the restaurant. We were told different times from employees and ended up too late to take the water taxi to the restaurant. Overall, all employees were very nice and the unit and resort were great!"

"It was ok
It wasn't what we expected. This was our 5th year visiting and I we were expecting nothing but the same or better like every year. For the first time one of the rooms was dirty, some stuff and the wifi never worked. We have to use our data at all times, the kids has to use our hotspots for their Ipads because there was only one tv in the whole 3 bedrooms. Very disappointed this time."

"Family Beach Vacay! ��
Last weekend, my family visited Palm Island and we had an amazing time! We especially loved our villa, the quick access to the beach, and all the amenities that the island offered. Thank you Palm Island and the owners of the villa for sharing their lovely home! "

"Ok
1 we were not called when our room was ready
2 there were bugs in our bedroom. We were told "it's Florida". They came to spray and there were still bugs the next day
3. There was dust all over another room's walls.
4 the bellmen were kind, helpful and courteous "

"Palm Island
Weather was perfect; condo was great. I would have preferred to stay 3 instead of 2 days but because of Covid cleaning restrictions I guess they still were following some outdated rule about keeping a day open in between guests.
I always love Palm Island. "

"Memorial Day Weekend 2021
The unit itself was great. our family has been coming for the last 25+ years. I did notice this year the pool area needed some repairs and the Grills were in HORRIBLE condition. One wouldn't light at all, another only had 3 burners working."

This was our 3rd year in a row coming to Palm Island. As soon as we step into the property we leave all our worries behind. Old Florida at its best! It is family time!! Our mini vacation all together. Relax, eat, beach, sun, sand and fishing. We will continue coming every year."

"last minute trip to Palm Island
We were staying up in the Pan Handle and decided we just could not live without Palm Island for its great water, amazing sea shells and sharks teeth and how few people are on the beaches. We ended up booking last minute for a 5 night stay. The condo was very nice and upgraded with plenty of room for our family of 6. The bell staff and coconuts staff were very polite and helpful. As we have experienced with most other stays the front desk staff were not accommodating at all and you would think we could get a couple of extra towels when paying $550 per night for the condo which I had to ask for 3 times to get. Overall, the other parts of the island outweighed the bad."

"Wonderful stay, as usual
Fantastic stay at PIV - we have been coming to Palm Island since it opened, and never get tired of it. Early November was a great time to be there - hardly anyone around. Very Peaceful"

Great visit all around for the wedding of our son and now daughter-in-law. The staff at Palm Island was terrific and all of the plans went off without a hitch. Could not be happier. We will definitely return when the red tide is gone - a circumstance beyond the a resorts control but handled as best as was possibly possible by . Thank you so much. "

"Very nice stay
Beautiful condo and property. Disappointed with the red tide causing the beach to be littered with dead fish & the smell was bad. Luckily the pool is very nice. "

"Great beach vacation for a long weekend
Our family has made many wonderful memories in Palm Island over the years, and we will be back. But if this was our first trip I am not sure that would be the case. This year we brought my father with us. I searched the selection of properties for hours and booked months in advance. I was thrilled that I found a villa that had two bedrooms with king beds on the first level of the unit for us and my father and a fun upper level with 4 beds for our kiddos. I booked it and made note with the staff that my father was coming for the first time and I wanted him to have a room on the first level with a king bed and his own bathroom. The unit was also advertised as having a grill, which impacted our menu planning. When we got there we found out we were assigned to another unit without prior notification/approval. The unit was in an area of the resort under construction. The pool was closed! The unit did have two first floor bedrooms and a great loft (which our kids LOVED). The trouble was that my father's room had twin beds, not a king. We talked to the staff about the problem. They kind of acted like they did us a favor by putting us in a newer unit! They said that they would have housekeeping convert the twin beds into one large bed, but then never got around to it. The unit also did not have a grill so we had to resort to less than optimal alternatives to prepare certain meals. Despite the issues we had a great time enjoying a beautiful beach with no crowds and look forward to coming again next year. "

"Girls weekend
I've been coming to Palm island for 30 years and it is beautiful, as always. Our condo was updated with nice finishes. Great time with good friends. Our pool was closed which was a bummer We had to use a neighboring pool and over looked an empty hole with a pump running 24/7. We were not told in advance of the pool closure. It would have been nice to be offered a discount or free golf cart but when I asked the desk clerk said no. Too bad. "

"Great setting for a wedding
We were here for three nights. Great venue for a wedding, intimate size. Recommend renting golf carts as depending upon the location of your lodging could be long walk. It was fun driving around the island with them. Very quiet which was nice. Rental was nice except on third floor, lots of stairs. Lots of space for large group. Beds could have been more comfortable. Loft sleeping not the best, hard to regulate temp up there to be comfortable. Great pool and views. Wonderful shells to be had on the beach walks. Overall, had a great time!"

"great multigenerational vacation
We had a very good vacation. Our group included pre teens to university students as well as parents and grand parents. We all managed to have an excellent vacation.
Our unite was spacious; the kitchen had a good layout and it had a pantry/laundry room for storage.
The dishes and pots where adequate, however the knifes where very poor. It made cooking a little difficult at times. Also there was not enough dish, dishwasher and laundry soap for the duration of the our visit.
All these are minor issues which could be easily fixed.
There where plenty of activities for all. Walking and playing on the beach, swimming, tennis and kayaking are easy to do from the unit.
We had an excellent vacation."

"Richard Ransdell Family - Review
Overall, the experience was good. Condos were also rented by my two brothers and sister as we had a week long family reunion. Our condo was nice although the comfort of the beds was disappointing. The kitchen and bathrooms were excellent. The pool experience was excellent particularly with the cabana. The six seat golf cart was fun although it ran sluggishly at times. The ocean view was excellent. The capability to get off the island to do other things was appreciated. The tarpon fishing and flat boat fishing were fun. The seven nights for the price of five nights seemed like a good value. Dinner at Rum Bay was good. Check-in was hectic with several families checking in at the same time. I look forward to our next visit. "

"Local Resident, Frequent Flyer
We always have a fantastic time at this resort and make a point to go at least once a year. We are never disappointed. The rates have steadily climbed over the years but we continue to go.
This is a place to go if you want to do NOTHING BUT RELAX and have absolutely no guilt.
I do have one major complaint. They have recently instituted a new POOL CARD system. You need a card to get into the pool area. I don't understand why this is necessary. You are also required to push a button to get OUT of the pool. This is very awkward if you have your hands full. (The out button is not close to the gate.)The worst part is the fact they you are only given one key card per unit. We had seven adults in our unit and only one card! If someone had taken the card down to the beach, the others could not get into the pool. If your group had gone to the pool and were in the pool, they had to get out of the pool to let you in! Having only one card was quite a nuisance and unacceptable. I actually had to climb over the fence, as a last resort one day. I am 62! and the fence is quite high! Other than this fairly major complaint, we had a wonderful time as usual. One other minor issue... I cannot seem to tell when the rates change. I would think that June would be off-season, but the rates were about the same as when we went in November. I think locals in the off-season should get a bit more of a deal or at least a discount on the golf cart rental. Despite this, we are planning our next visit for this November."

"Good family condo in palm island
I liked the amount of people this condo could sleep however, I would have liked to know in advance that the upstairs rooms do not have doors. Also, not having wifi was really problematic for us as my husband had to work. The property was very clean but it appears like termites may be on the screened balcony so we weren't able to use that space. "

"Palm Island
We go to Palm Island annually and visit for the beach and the peacefulness it provides. This trip we had a group of 8 and had come prepared to have fabulous meals prepared in our condominium. We had lobster, shrimp and clams for one evening and steak for another evening. For 8 people this was about $350 worth of groceries. We checked into our unit, which was beautiful and very well decorated and appointed. Our goal was to unload the groceries and head to the beach, which we did. After three hours at the beach we came back to find that ALL of the food was warm as the refrigerator had stopped working. All of our food had been destroyed. The maintenance man came and was VERY friendly and apologetic bringing us ice and coolers however it was a little too late for our food. Within a day and after a visit from a repairman the refrigerator was fixed. After a day and a visitor from a repairman the refrigerator was fixed. Other than that the condo and beach and resort was pristine and lovely. The nicest people we encountered were our luggage assistance - he is always welcoming and fabulous as well as the maintenance man. The people at the Coconuts where we rented the golf cart seemed annoyed and like we were bothering them each time we went into the store. We love Palm Island and we go there for the beach and the laid back atmosphere. We tolerate the hiccups and average customer service but I would be hesitant to refer due to these instances. "

"EXTRAORDINARY
has many faces for me.From time to time PLResort embraces me as my Sanctuary, quiet, serene, cosmically charging my body, mind and spirit. I return to running my companies refreshed and impassioned.
When my children and granchildren join me the experience is unbelievably blessed. We eat, play, look for sharks teeth, read afternoon stories and all sleep well.
has a small town charm. The staff relishes in the opportunity to enhance your stay any way possible.
My advice is never check out on Sunday. Monday's are so delicious alone..."

We love this unit, the location is perfect and the size is great for our family! The bathroom renovations were lovely, and the kitchen is fabulous! However, the beds were very uncomfortable, and none of us slept so well. As much as we love this unit, we'd think twice about booking it for this reason. "

We've been coming to since 1989, and have always enjoyed the off season months. There were a few issues this year such as a water main break causing no water to be available, a broken TV in the main room, and a short power outage. Fortunately, all these issues were resolved quickly and professionally and interferred minimally with our overall positive island experience."

Overall experience was very good, however constant problems with hot water was an issue. Stayed in a 3 bedroom unit and every shower or bath would trip the electrical breaker. Also use of hair dryer in bathroom would also trip the breaker. Last day of our visit the flat screen tv had sound but no picture."
