My wife and I celebrated our 35th wedding anniversary with a stay at the Palm and dinner at Acme. When I arrived check in with smooth with Adam. He gave me two free beverages. Then when we got to our room, there was a nice gift bag with candies and a card from the Palm congratulating us on our anniversary. We had a super great time.

You Truly Get What You Pay For
The women working the front desk were kind, and that is truly the only positive thing I can say about my experience at this property. The room looked tidy enough, but upon further examination I found soap scum coating the tub and shower walls, there were a few sticky rings on different tabletop & counter surfaces, and the floor turned the bottom of my while socks a filthy blackish gray. The bedding felt like sleeping between sheets of cheap paper towels, and the mattress was the worst I’ve ever had to sleep on. The water that came from the sink and shower had a stench, as did the ice from the machine. The vending machines were out of everything, and only offered sugary sodas and energy drinks. An option to purchase water would have been nice, although I imagine they’d be sold out and unstocked as well. Luckily I only had to stay for a single night before joining the rest of my group at an Airbnb on the island.

Great location, average hotel
The location is in a great location that is walking distance to all the amenities. The staff is very friendly. Overall the property and rooms are fine but just could use some TLC and a tad bit more attention to cleanliness. Despite this, I recommend the property and would stay here again.

If you are on a hen weekend this is the perfect stay for you. Not for a couple who like the peace and quiet though. Property was ok but next to some loud bars although to be fair things seemed to close quite early. Beach was quite densely populated and this was out of season so suspect it is rammed any other time. Hotel was fine, breakfast was mediocre. service ok although had to yell at housekeeping to stop them coming in our room before we checked out! Won’t be coming back.

It's a good place. Convenient to the beach. A pretty small community, not a lot to do other than the beach. The rooms don't have windows facing out, only to the inside hallway

The staff at check in were beyond rude. Actually rolled her eyes at me and became confrontational. They don't like IHG members as it "isn't use friendly to the hotel staff user". The cleaning supplies/dirty linens/trash all left in the open area at all times. Tub didn't drain. Lobby smelled horrible at all times. Charges for parking in a gravel lot that's 2 blocks away.

The staff was helpful whenever they were asked about anything. But the dining room was just too small for the number of people that needed to eat breakfast there. Also, the toilet seat was about the smallest we have ever seen - the toilets need to be replaced with newer models.

My husband and I stayed here for a few days. It was very noisy. People screaming at all hours of the night. Our room was next to the office, figured someone in the office would say something but they did not. And I am all for people having a good time but at 2 in the morning, yelling and screaming is inconsiderate for the people sleeping. The hallways were closed in except one end so it was extremely hot with no AC in the hallways or elevator. The room was clean. AC took a little bit to kick in but once you have it going it was fine. Not sure if I would stay again, but not totally against it either.
