Recently stayed at Palm Island Resort for the first time. The unit was nicely decorated and well maintained and had a perfect view of the gulf. It was so much fun riding around in the golf cart, relaxing, looking at sea shells, watching the sun set, etc. Overall, a wonderful weekend getaway. I hated to leave paradise. More

Recently spent 3 nights at Palm Island Resort. We used a Groupon deal from Orlando and had great rates. Folks in reservations and check-in could not have been nicer. Accommodations were top rate and the island provides great Gulf exposure. The resort provides a golf cart to get around and the local restaurant/bar was perfect. All-in-all, a great getaway spot....

While we only stayed one night, this was a great getaway for us. We only live 35 minutes away, but it's hard to relax and connect at home where there is always something that needs to be done yesterday and the office phone rings even on weekends. The gulf views from the well decorated villa and the breeze rustling the... More

We were at Palm Island Resort for 4 days. The rates for "low" season are really good. Since it was low season there was almost no one else there. I counted 15 cars in the parking lot and some of those belong to the people that live there. So if you wanted quiet seclusion this is the place. Made us... More

We were there last weekend. Check-in was uneventful, but the check-in staff was pretty uncaring and not forthcoming with information. You can tell they are just 'making 8' to get through the day. The Villa was clean, but dated. The bathroom fixtures were surely the originals from the 80's when it was built (picture attached of one of the cabinets).... More

I bought the travel Groupon deal for a one-night stay at Palm Island Resort. The deal included the car ferry and the golf cart. My only regret is that the Groupon was for one night... We arrived on a Saturday afternoon and quickly boarded the car ferry. No issues there. Quick trip across to the island. The check-in was super... More

My husband and I rented a 1 BR Gulf Front over Labor Day Weekend and really enjoyed the quiet and solitude of the resort. To get to the resort, you have to take a car ferry - which is a fun little 5 minute trip - something different. Once at the resort, you leave your car in the parking lot... More

We stayed in Palm Island resort July 21, 2011 for 2 nights. The condo we stayed was rather dated but the location and view allowed us to over look this. We loved the privacy and quiet. We attempted to use some of the amenties like the kayaks and bicycles in both cases the equipment was unusable. They only had 3... More

The resort itself is nice and offers several amenities. On the positive side, the rooms were clean, nice with a great view of the water and the beds were comfortable. They offer gas grills, plenty of beach space, and several swimming pools. The staff was overall very pleasant and helpful, other than as noted below. On the downside, the front... More
