The hotel

No TV’s. No phones. Just the two of you. Sound like complete bliss? That’s what you’ll find at the Little Palm Island Resort and Spa. Arrive by seaplane or private boat to this island just off the Keys, and you’ll be greeted with a refreshing cocktail at the Shore Station, before heading to your luxury bungalow to enjoy a quiet, romantic break. The lush private island is dotted with tropical scenery and exotic wildlife, with your thatched roof bungalows nestled in between. Enjoy the copper bath on your private balcony, order some room service, or head to the pool bar to make friends – whatever takes your fancy! Of course, there is WiFi, and a TV in the main room for any essential events, but ringing phones are taboo here, so you can enjoy your trip in peace.

I have money to spend, but my goodness, this is a ridiculously pricey trip and not at all worth what you're paying for. The pictures of those beautiful beaches? Not walkable, whatsoever. Small, covered in ocean mosquitoes and sand fleas with water that's frankly not swimmable. The spa? Incredibly overpriced. For $1,300 my wife and I got an 80-minute massage that you could get from a street vendor in India for $7. We got charged $325 for a bath that wasn't requested or included on our initial request and then told that there's nothing they could do about it. The restaurants food was average. Nothing special, but gargantuan price tags. $130 for 3oz of Wagyu (overcooked, by the way). $75 for a bowl of pasta that you could make with Chef Boyardee (bland, stale). A rum cocktail cost $35. The rooms were nice, though the AC units were loud and inconsistent. Basically no water pressure from the showers, and the hot water was touch-and-go. To top it all off, when we left, they gave our luggage away to another guest, so we had to wait another ten minutes for that guest to come back with our things. This place is a scam, a total waste of money. For the amount of money spent in three days, you're better off going to South Beach in Miami or Breakers in West Palm Beach. Little Palm Island is a totally bland experience given the exorbitant costs. Read less

Amazing getaway for our 10 year wedding anniversary. This place is very exclusive and feels like a private island vacation. Especially for us being that August is their slow season. This is a very special place and we hope to return one day in the future.

We had the most incredible experience at Little Palm Island. Every staff member we encountered went above and beyond to make our stay special. Our dinner server, Tim, was outstanding—we even requested him again whenever he was available because he made our evenings so enjoyable. While we don’t remember all their names, the pool staff and the team who brought food to our room were equally wonderful. The entire staff made us feel so cared for throughout our stay. We loved our time here so much that we’ve decided to make Little Palm Island our regular anniversary trip. Read less
