Mehul, Thank you for giving your stay 5 stars. We're glad you enjoyed the view of the ocean and the pool. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.
The overall property can use a little updating like some fresh paint on the guest bathrooms downstairs and all the individual apartments but the unit we stayed in was nice and clean and well maintained they had everything you needed to cook with and the pool area was really nice!! The only problem I had was the walk up it’s was so long from the parking garage!! But over all it was a good experience!!
Loved the two master suites! Lighting in one bath was great! Other one just needs different bulbs to produce a brighter light. Very clean! My complaint with The Palms is there is no Bell service like I read there is? There are very few luggages cart’s available! We had to make several trips to get our luggage to our room! Very frustrating!
Everything was as described. The only issue we had was the outside traffic was a little loud for sitting on the balcony and enjoying your morning coffee.
I know this is a property management company and overall the property was well maintained but there was some updates needed. Dust buildup in a couple of not so noticeable areas, painted cabinets were chipping, carpet needs a total refresh. Overall nothing to deter us from staying and nice facility with easy access to great places throughout Destin.
Very well maintained property. Lots of amenities at the facility (restaurant, bar, pool, hot tub….). Great location. No real complaints and I would definitely recommend this property if you are staying in destin.
We had a great time! Place was clean and had a view of the ocean which I wasn’t expecting. Close to beach and has a lot of amenities.

Amela, we appreciate you letting us know that you had a great time while staying in this two-bed, two-bath unit, which you found to be clean and close to the beach with lots of amenities. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.
Overall, we had a great experience. Our first morning we found the coffee pot was cracked and we notified the management company. We had a new coffee pot within an hour or two. Other than the table in the dining area being different than the pictures (and the table top not attached to the base of the table) the room was as stated. Water pressure in the master bath was low compared to every other water faucet. The resort was clean, pool amazing, bar staff were nice. Restaurant was under construction and due to lack of staff was counter service only. Overall, we would definitely stay again.
