It’s amazing hotel, really clean, the territory of the hotel was beautiful, staff were friendly and helpful. Great location. The room was small, but really comfortable and clean. We had a view on the city.I definitely recommend it for my friends and family. And I think I will return to the hotel again in future trips.

Floriano is the best server that has served us. Very good service, exceptional treatment. Very attentive and helpful. If you visit Palms Hotel and spa and you are in the pool, just ask for him.

Beautiful hotel with a great staff. It gave vintage Miami vibes. Room was tiny and lacked in a few areas. Pillows lumpy and too mushy or thick although the bed was comfortable. No cosmetic or full length mirror. Not much counter space for toiletries in bathroom and commode in same room. Walls paper thin and hallway could get noisy and disturbing.… Read more
Beautiful hotel with a great staff. It gave vintage Miami vibes. Room was tiny and lacked in a few areas. Pillows lumpy and too mushy or thick although the bed was comfortable. No cosmetic or full length mirror. Not much counter space for toiletries in bathroom and commode in same room. Walls paper thin and hallway could get noisy and disturbing. Our view from the top floor was a solid black tarp of construction across the street. The hotel was not busy, so disappointed we couldn’t even open our window as 20 men could see right in. The king room more suitable for one person than two as it was TINY. Smallest stateside room I’ve had. Very easy beach access although had some privacy issues in the evening. Not monitored or secure. We were uncomfortable there, so didn’t go back in the evening. The fence to hotel never locked like others did down the boardwalk, so slight concern for security. Pool was clean and could always find a chair. Pool service and drinks excellent as was the bar. Overall enjoyed our stay, but likely would stay elsewhere. Read less
