"Palm Island Paradise
We have been vacationing here since 1987 and it never disappoints us.
Love to be able to see the sunrise and sunset just steps away from our villa.
Relaxing, wildlife (especially seeing turtle tracks,) beach, pool, tennis, boating, kayaks, biking.........something for everyone!"

"Wonderful stay at
We have come to ( previously called Island Harbor Resort, then Sea Palm Resort ) since 1983. Missed in 1984 when our son was born, and 2022 due to hurricane damage. We love the place! On busy days, we saw, at most 10-12 people on the whole length of the beach.
This trip, we had 8 family members along.
“ it don’t get no better !”"

"Annual family tradition
Relax, leave the world behind and focus on family! Amazing stay on a beautiful, quiet, sub-tropical island. Beach comb, fish and poolside fun. What day of the week is it??? "

"Perfect Stay for a Wedding Weekend
Our 3 Bed, 3 bath unit was conveniently located next to the pool and beach access. With a quick golf cart ride, the cafe, restaurant and gift shop were easy to get to. Loved the stay for our friends' resort wedding!"

"Setting great management not so much
Our units furniture and setting were great but relatively small items made it less than great. We and our friends have been going to off and on for thirty years. We overlook erosion problems, red tide etc but this time was different. The day we were to arrive I called in advance to see if we needed to do anything and very uncharacteristically your receptionist was dry rude on the phone. Totally set me back but my wife and I agreed to overlook it. Upon arrival our unit was nice but the toilet in the main bath did not flush (I fixed it) none of the three TV’s work, the blender didn’t work, etc. All and all the management team did not do their jobs. We fixed the toilet, they replaced the blender but the TV’s would only work if we used our own Netflix account and we never got regular network news or sports. Less than expected based upon past experience and cost increases. We will have to reevaluated our future vacation plans. "

"Love the resort but villa needs upkeep
We have been to palm island many times and I love it there. The island has improved the grounds and tennis courts. However the cost has increased but the villa has not been adequately updated. Our 3 bd had poor wifi, dirty sheets, the carpet was so dirty my kids didn’t even want to walk bare foot on it.
I still love palm island but will not rent this unit again. "

"A little slice of heaven
We had a wonderful experience in your beautiful Three Bedroom Beach Villa. The view was amazing and the villa was amazing on the inside, too. We walked in at dusk and much to my surprise, there was a Christmas tree decorated and lit up. I almost cried at how beautiful and serene everything was. We came for a weekend right in the middle of December Christmas craziness. It was just what our family needed at the time."

"Great location and beach
Overall, the condo had all the amenities we could ask for. The kitchen was large enough to cook and fridge and other equipment all worked great. The bedrooms were comfortable and the loft had four twin beds if you have a few teens wanting to stay together.
The area for improvement is carpeting throughout house. It is old and either needs deep shampoo or replacement as there are stains in many places. It would be great with new carpeting. Everything else was very nice.

"Comfortable, Warm Vacation Condo
Overall, a lovely unit in a prime location. Some of the furnishings are beginning to look a little tired. Some dishes/glassware/flatware a bit hodgepodge in kitchen. Layout of unit and bathrooms and extra bedroom upstairs are very nice. Would stay here again. Very pleasant ambiance."

"Relaxing peaceful vacation
I haven't been to Palm Island in over 20 years. My kids and spouse had never been. Small things may have changed but I honestly can't tell what... 5 people with all different interests and all with very busy lives, I was scared the kids would get bored fast. We all had the most amazing week and not once did I hear anything about boredom. Not once was a phone or a video game system seen in any ones hands.
You don't even rry to relax here, it just happens within minutes of unpacking. The world is left behind and you are on island time
We are already selecting our next date to come back. We will be making this a traditional family vacation. Atleast yearly, if not 2 times a year."

"Great time had by all
We rented a 2 bed and a 3 bed units for our party of 10 for a 60th birthday event and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their stay. So close to home and yet feels so far away. A nice escape. Played pickle ball and spent time on the beach. Meals at Rum Bay were very good. Also took a fun water taxi ride across to Leverocks for one dinner which was quite good as well. Management helped us out by putting both rentals in the same building and were even kind enough to leave a birthday gift basket."

"Palm Island Review
Had a wonderful time. Apartment was as advertised on site; lovely and clean. Resort staff was friendly. Would suggest getting new pots as the nonstick is peeling off the pots rendering them unusable. Would love to come again. "

"Perfect for multiple family members
Palm Island Villas was the perfect place for our extended family to have an Anniversary celebration. Each family had room to spread out and have their own space, plus the facilities enhanced our joint gatherings of 60+ people at the pool, clubhouse and beach. Kayaking and the nature walks were 2 highlights. The villa was comfortable and roomy. Our only complaint was that the kitchen needed a sharp knife. Dolphins jumping close to shore capped off our stay! "

"Girls 3 night Getaway
I started coming to PI in 1995 with friends and family. Love this resort, it is truly a very relaxing place for a weekend get away. I've stayed in many different units, this unit was lovely,only a few items needed attention. Ice maker didn't work, Fridge was not cold. upstairs sink was clogged. We were provided ice, but our maintenance call was never taken care of. If we were staying longer than 3 days, I would have inquired as to why, but we made due. Those were minor issues for sure. The place worked well for the 6 of us! We plan on making Girls weekend in Palm Island a yearly event!!!! "

"qUIET AND RELAXING
Palm Island was exactly the same as when I stayed there 20 years ago and 10 years ago. Love the secluded beach access. The pool area with nice gas grills was great. Rum Bay restaurant and Coconut Café were awesome. The staff was fantastic. The Kitchen was very well stocked. My only disappointment was the Villa furnishings. They also looked like they were 20 years old. But did not spend much time in Villa so not a big deal for me. "

"Beautiful Private Beach Setting
1 week stay at an idyllic island setting. Great accommodations. Stayed there with my wife and our adult children, 7 total.
Golf cart rental was crucial for us. Hung out at pool and beach, played some tennis, explored island and did a 3 hr guided kayak tour with Kris which was fantastic."

We had a wonderful stay due to the great beaches, beautifully maintained pool and hot tub, the very friendly and helpful staff. Our unit needed a bit of an update with the furniture and the carpet, lots of spots! The beds were comfortable, the kitchen very well equipped and the view spectacular (a sunset each night). We will definitely be back!"

"Beach Home-Away-From-Home
Loved the ambiance of this beach-themed villa. Kitchen was nicely equipped, with lots of plates & assorted lovely sea-inspired bowls and platters. Updated kitchen & baths a plus! Master suite was perfect! The carpet and chair cushions could used some cleaning - noticeable stains. That's the only complaint. Loved our stay at this unit!"

"Lovely Family Reunion
My sisters, their families and my parents and I stayed in two three bedrooms over Christmas, this unit was one of them. It was beautifully decorated and clean and had everything we needed to "eat in". The pink loft bedroom upstairs was perfect for 4 young cousins. We are planning on returning!!"

"Beautiful and Quite and Comfy Villa/Front Desk could use work
The actual villa and property and location were all absolutely perfect and I wouldn't change a thing.
However, the staff when we checked in were rude and not welcoming or friendly. We had an 8 person villa and we all showed up at different times. Going back and asking for the other parking passes for the cars as they arrived, you thought took an act of God on their part. Also, they couldn't believe we had 8 people in that villa and questioned us about it, and the villa. I don't know if they thought we were smuggling people in, but we just had 8 people in an 8 person villa. All the guys at parking lot and that drove golf carts were all great and wonderful though, as well as they other staff we staff we saw around the property. Also- we had golf cart reserved - and they took it to us and it was absolutely filthy and covered in caked on mud. Not just like the tires, but the back seat was filthy. We were there for a wedding, which would have trashed our clothes we had to wear for the weekend. We asked for a different cart or if someone could clean it, and we got an eye roll and sigh, which was so unprofessional and rude. Mind you, there was a line up of golf carts like 20 feet away that were all lined up and looked ready to go. So, not a super awesome start with those 2 experiences. But after we were done with them, the rest of the time there was great. The villa was beyond comfortable and cozy and we could have lounged there all day and just looked out the windows. Right by the pool and great access to the beach. "

"Christmas Season 2013
We had a wonderful time and would go there again, but the resort could use some improvements. It is not perfect.....The tennis courts are hard asphalt instead of clay or hard true. This can be hard on the knees. There was very little tennis going on while we were there. We found the food at the one restaurant on the island to be unimaginative and not very good. The restaurant also seemed to be a little worn down and not spotlessly clean. The villas could probably use some updating. The villa we were in had a problem with one of the lamps - it blew a fuse, created some sparks and some smoke. Apparently there was a problem with the electrical connection, which was alarming. The good news is that the facilities team came immediately and fixed it. On the positive side, the yoga instructor was fantastic, the office management team was pleasant and responsive, the setting is superb and the staff is friendly and very helpful. We went biking up and down the island, swam in the gulf and the pools, played tennis, kayaked, paddled on surf boards and went off island for jet skiing and good restaurants. The best parts of the vacation on Palm Island are the location, the low-key family atmosphere, absence of car traffic, and the fantastic water views. It was a relaxing family vacation that is unique, due to the lack of cars on the island. We enjoyed it and will be going back again. "
