Perfect location

This is the 2nd unit we have stayed in at the Palms and so far this has been our favorite spot. The 2 large bedrooms are perfect when traveling with twin toddlers that need their own room but since we travel with blow up beds we need the floor space more than the bed. Pool and splash pad were a HUGE hit this time with the kids and we will definitely be back!

Best family friendly resort

I was looking for a condo that had a huge pool for my 3 little ones to enjoy and this place did not disappoint! The condo was very clean and updated. We love that there was an onsite coffees shop/bistro and the shuttle made it convenient to go to the beach. Devin made sure everything was set for our stay and the check in/check out process was seemless. I also loved this resort has a light to the main road making it easy to get in and out of with all the summer traffic! I would definitely recommend as this is family friendly!

A Pleasant Vacation

Our stay at the Palms was very pleasant. The suite was clean and spacious. The pool is great and was one of the highlights of our trip. The location is good with two different beaches a short 5 min drive away. The staff was very professional. We had some issues with some doors and the microwave but property management quickly resolved them. I was very pleased with their communication. The whole family is looking forward to staying there again.

For our few days in Destin, this condo was perfect! The rooms were spacious and the common area with the kitchen was perfect. The carpets had a few stains that I wasn’t thrilled about but overall the facility was clean. The internet was not the greatest as we did have some issues with the tv but of course, the tv wasn’t why we were there. Overall, the facility was perfect what we needed!

Very clean and close to the beach

The place was very clean and close to the beach. The only thing we thought was a little inconvenient was that only 1 trash bag was provided, but we had an infant with us so we had lots of diapers and food trash. We couldn’t bring extras of anything since we flew in. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay. The bistro downstairs was also really good!

The property was amazing! The space was so clean and perfect for 4 adults. We loved the lagoon pool and the Good Times Bar on the property.

Great for baseball tournament

We stayed here for our son's baseball tournament that was just across the street. It was very convenient for that and we felt comfortable leaving our teenage daughter and her friend to hang out in the condo or at the pool while we were at games. The pool was great. The poolside restaurant was decent and definitely convenient. Parts (hallways, stairs, etc.) of the complex were not the cleanest. The actual unit was a nice set-up for the 5 of us. The king bed in the "master" bedroom was quite hard, but tolerable. The king bed in the other bedroom was much better. The sink in the "master" bath was VERY clogged. We even bought some drain-o, but it wouldn't touch it. Parking is VERY far from this unit. My husband dropped us off at the door most of the time when we had a lot to carry. Overall, it was a good stay.

My Stay

Resort was very nice. There were only a fews issues. I had a few questions and did have difficulty communicating with RealJoy. One of which was black mold in the grooves of the track for shower door. Another no idea as to how to dispose of trash (finally found someone at front desk of Resort) and finally didn’t know if we were expected to wash towels and wash cloths so assume that would be something better done by professional staff since other guests would be using.

Ok stay...

Right in the heart of Destin, the location was great! The cleanliness of the property was very questionable. Carpet needs to be cleaned or replaced. Shower in master bedroom reeked of urine. I had to purchase disinfectant spray to clean it before using it. Rugs in master bathroom appeared to be stained with blood. Used towel on floor instead. Extra pillows in both closets had stains on them. We had no confidence in the cleanliness of the property. The unit had a nice layout but the pullout sofa was very uncomfortable.
