Ocean front view was incredible. This was the perfect quiet getaway that we’re were looking for. We will be coming back to this island for sure. It was worth every penny if you like quiet peaceful relaxation. The water was amazing, staff were all responsive and attentive. 10/10
Very nice view of the gulf from family room and master. Short walk to the beach.

Reviewer Comments:
We found PIR online and took a chance only to be unexpectedly delighted upon arrival. Our kids thought arriving by ferry was super cool and the staff was kind and welcoming when we checked in. Our villa was lovely and we all enjoyed our meals at Rum Bay. Our weather wasnt great but we still loved shelling and shark-tooth hunting despite the clouds and rain.

Thank you so much for taking a chance on Palm Island Resort and for sharing your experience! We're thrilled to hear that your first visit exceeded your expectations.
We're happy to know you felt welcomed by our staff, loved your villa, and enjoyed dining at Rum Bay.
While we wish the weather had been a little more cooperative, we're glad you were still able to make the most of your stay by shelling and hunting for shark teeth. Thank you again for choosing Palm Island Resort, and we hope to welcome your family back for another unforgettable island getaway—hopefully with plenty of sunshine next time!
Very pleased! We got off to a bumpy start with check in because we came in late (10pm). The office closes at 3pm so we weren't sure what to do. They leave your check in package with the guard at the gate (when you get off the ferry). The ferry does stop running at 10pm (Monday-Thursday) 11pm Friday and 12pm Saturday (starts at 630am every day). The house doesn't have many reviews so I wanted to give it a good one (the first time I've ever written a review). Our stay was excellent. Everyone was very nice. We ate dinner every day at the Rum Bay restaurant and the food was very good (with good portion sizes). The house was spotless!, pretty and comfortable. Very comfortable beds and great showers (I'll miss the water pressure). The beach is right there just over beautiful dunes. We didn't find left over beach floats/playthings so bring those with you. The water was warm and clear and no heavy grass/seaweed. I found lots of sand dollars. I highly recommend this property and hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
