As soon as we got to the hotel we were told we'd been upgraded to an ocean view room so our holiday already started off great! The room was great, we had two huge double beds, mirrors, fridge, kettle, two sink and the shower was perfect pressure and temperature. The bed was comfy and the tv had netflix and YouTube too. The balcony was a great size overlooking the ocean. We had a fantastic time at Southern Palms and would recommend it to anyone. We didn't spend much time eating or drinking here as we like to explore the area, but they had good vegan and vegetarian options and the happy hour cocktails were good. On our second night we were lucky enough to see a mamma turtle laying and burying her eggs on the beach at the hotel. This was a magical once in a lifetime experience that I feel so grateful to have experienced. The entertainment was great every day. Our aquazumba was fantastic, we didn't get the name of the teacher but she was so much fun and we had the best time with a few other hotel guests and some locals who obviously come every week to the class. Equally, Rodney was a fantastic windsurding teacher. He offers a free lesson and me and my friend had so much fun. If I had more time I would've done a couple more lessons. So much on offer for free at southern palms, more than I've had at any similar level hotels. There are a few resident cats at the hotel who are friendly and adorable and well looked after, as well as turtles. The reception staff were great, they gave us a pack of playing cards to borrow and dealt with our car hire easily. They also helped us use their phone when we had an issue with an excursion we were going on. Me and my friend had a great time here and would 10/10 recommend. Read less

This was our 1st holiday with our 9 month old baby so we booked something we wouldn't have previously gone with; a low key family ran 'functional' resort.

This was our 1st holiday with our 9 month old baby so we booked something we wouldn't have previously gone with; a low key family ran 'functional' resort. On arrival I would have to agree with some of the comments about dated furniture/the tired look of some rooms. However, we settled into our room which was incredibly comfy, had plenty of storage and was kept really clean everyday. I have to say, it was perfect for us as a family. There were also nice touches such as a welcome drink in the room upon arrival. The pool area was nice and relaxing, however, some people did seem to be up with the birds to reserve sun beds (the pool openned at 6am). A few more sunbeds wouldn't go amiss, especially as the beds on the beach have no shade. We needed shade for the baby so on pool days we had to do the same as others. Service by the pool and in the bar was typically carribean; relaxed and at times slow, but always very friendly and warm. We ate here a few times. It was standard pool food. Entertainment was mainly in the evenings. Everything we saw was nice and enjoyable. Breakfast (we had it included) offered a wide variety of good quality food. The egg station was particularly good. Our child was able to try lots of new things. The staff were amazing with him. He had a lot of attention and interaction! On one morning I was unwell and was even sent a care package. We were unlucky with the sargassum on the beach. Some days were better than others. We used webcams to find clear beaches when Docer beach was bad. Overall if you can adjust to a slower pace of life this is a lovely place to be. We would definitely go back to the Southern Palms. Read less
