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!

Everything about Palm Island resort is focused on having a relaxed and wonderful experience. It is our annual family gathering spot for our children and grandchildren. Everyone looks forward to this stay for months in advanced and we are not disappointed. This year was a little different following the hurricanes last year, as the pools were not in use while we were there. We actually looked into other options elsewhere. But in the end, there truly is nothing else like Palm Island, and we had a great stay despite the pool situation. This has become our annual summer tradition and we will continue to do so!A big thank you to Sara(h)(sorry not sure of your spelling) for walking us through the pool situation and being so accommodating. And of course to the staff and management of Palm Island for making it possible for the resort to be in operation after such devastating weather last year!

Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful message. We’re truly honored that Palm Island Resort continues to be your family’s annual gathering spot—it means the world to us to be part of such special traditions and lasting memories.
We understand how important every detail of your stay is, and we sincerely appreciate your understanding and flexibility regarding the pool situation this year. The recovery from last year’s hurricanes has been a challenge, but guests like you make the effort more than worthwhile.
A special thank you from all of us—especially from Sara for your recognition. She was delighted to assist and we’re glad she helped make your stay as smooth and enjoyable as possible. We can’t wait to welcome you and your family back next summer. Thank you again for your continued trust and loyalty.

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.

Wonderful vacation! The staff is always curious and very helpful! Beach is amazing and the pool was well kept although very warm due to hot temps. A few specific recommendations on our particular unit #1522. The carpet is stained but looks like it could be cleaned up. Please consider a professional carpet cleaner. The kitchen had lots of supplies but was extremely disorganized. One item that seems to be missing is silverware, particularly spoons! Overall we love Palm Island and can't wait to come back next year for our annual family beach trip! It's the best!

Reviewer Comments:
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.

Our units furniture and setting were great but relatively small items made it less than great. We and our friends have been going to Palm Island Resort 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.
