We’ve been staying at The Palms a few times each year for about 15 years. It’s always a pleasurable stay and visit. And we will continue to stay with them when we come out to the Island.

Clean room, good on-site dining and directly on the beach. Bring your own pillows unless you don't mind those poly fill pillows.

so close to the beach!
Hotel was a short walk to the beach, only a couple minutes! It was very clean considering the tracking of sand, the bed was comfortable but the sofa bed not so much. the beach chairs and umbrellas are available after 9 am for a daily rent of 40$. Price was a bit more than we wanted to spend for 1 night but our main priority was being close to the beach.

We come to SPI every summer. This was our first time staying at The Palms. We probably won’t stay anywhere else now! Clean, comfortable, convenient. Parking wasn’t an issue, they were diligent about hotel guests only parking in the lot. Beach was close and bed was comfy.

It was nice that it was very close to the beach, but the hotel’s swimming pool looked small and dirty so I couldn‘t go in.

The Palms is a hidden gem!! It’s very simple if all you’re looking for is to sleep in the room and shower but well worth the stay! The restaurant has great breakfast, lunch and dinner! Robert the bartender and the servers are great! They also have great suggestions. You have a beach access right there that’s easy and with chairs and loungers. I highly recommend!!
