We stayed 3 nights with friends- very good experience for the price. Only surprise we had is that the so called "double beds" are not double, they are actually full beds and you cannot sleep 2 adults. Plus, they have no spare bed.

We decided to stay in the Miami area after we finished a Nursing Conference on a Cruise, which was amazing. But the real highlight of our trip was the way we finished out time in Miami. We had a very relaxing and pampered time at the Palms. We will be back for sure next year!

Spent a few days here and would come back. Tropical setting with nice spaces to unwind. Good (MB expensive) food options. Great staff service.
