We booked a room with the spa outside, rooms are great. The spa next to us had the equipment in our area and it was so noisy we couldn’t sit outside. Also they were on the road side which weekends were quiet but during the week extremely busy and noisy. Also wasn’t very private people could still see through the fence. Staff were helpful and property was well kept. Great walking distance to shops and restaurants.

Really enjoyed our stay between Dec 21 - 28, 2023. The only unsavory comment I have is that we wereneverable to get the cook to answer the bell to get cooked eggs for breakfast. Everything else was great and would recommend this accommodation! Thank you Palms City Resort Staff!
