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.

If I could give 10 stars, I would! Little Palm Island Resort is by far the nicest place we have ever been. From top to bottom, side to side, and every which way, this place runs phenomenally. We came here for 4d/3n on a Capital One Dining experience. And despite being thrown into the middle of a murder mystery dinner event, the staff did not flinch. The rooms: immaculate! The food: heavenly. The staff: perfection. Service out of this world. Special shout outs to servers Camilo, Amy, and our girl Liz down at pool bar! Sean (Guinness), Michael (Bjorne), el Capitan Ronaldo (?) , and everyone else whose name I am blanking on right now. We are so grateful to have spent our time in this gorgeous paradise! And special thanks to Drumstick and Flowing Waters for making us laugh our first day and kicking our week off with giggles.
Cheers to this team! We cant wait to come back!!

A peaceful and relaxing gem in the Florida Keys
Jul 9, 2025luxworldtraveler2023Miami, Florida
The resort only has 30 villas and during the week, we loved how quiet it was. Meals were excellent and the staff really shined in all interactions we had with them. However, our villa was a little dated and this disappointed us given that we paid nearly $2K per night.
Just perfect from beginning to end.

A truly one of a kind most romantic experience. A very special place to be able to go. There is nothing to do but enjoy the island and each other to truly connect or reconnect. The food is outstanding, the service is outstanding, the entire experience from beginning to end is nothing short of spectacular. A true true gem.

The resort makes you relax and forget the stressors and pressures of everyday life. It gives one the opportunity to relax and focus on one another and enjoy those special romantic moments.
Disappointed :(

My husband and I went to Little Palm Island to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary. It was not the stay we hoped it would be. There were many issues starting with the staff not warning us about the no-see-ums and mosquitos at dinner. Someone should have said bug spray is a must if you are dining outside at dinner. My husband and were eaten alive it was horrible but we learned our lesson, No one showed us how anything worked in the room. There were MANY issues and mishaps with food, orders being incorrect, hair in the food, no spoon when ordering soup and having to ask for one, no spoon when ordering coffee. There was no one taking orders at the pool, or even giving out menu's. We had to hunt menus down. No one offered us refills or checked on us while at the pool either. Each time you needed something you had to flag someone down which was not easy. My husband made requests to have our bags picked up for checkout and had written confirmation of a time they would be by to pick up the bags and no one showed up. So we had to take our bags all the way to the dock for checkout. Also we let everyone know it was our anniversary and we never got a candle or anything. Even chain restaurants give you a candle when you order dessert. We got nothing... For the price of the room per night the service needs to be immaculate. This was not that. In fact it was not up to par with even 4 star resorts we have stayed it. The staff is very friendly but the attention to detail is not good.
