Disliked: Staff & service
The Palm is getting older and is in need of some repair. The maintenance of the Palm is in desperate need of an improvement! As a long time visitors we have seen the damage and decline of the property, for example the toilet seat shouldn’t slide around as you sit because the toilet seat is broken! The towels should not feel like sandpaper and a face cloth or wash cloth is now nonexistent and when asking about it you get looked at and treated like you are crazy! The plus side is you can get away and use the beach club at the Carmen hotel down the block to the beach! Very nice place and amenity! The Palm is comfortable but don’t expect a luxury experience! Rain showers were hot but needs to be cleaned so the shower heads can rain fully and not drizzle! Overall doable but do not expect a blanket if you get cold or a toilet seat that is safe to use, or hospitable treatment.

Toilet seat was broken, the room looked as if it were not properly cleaned, some substance smeared on one of the nightstands, and the staff were not at all friendly or welcoming!

The whole place is in need of some fixing up. We checked in to a dirty room with hair on the sheets and multiple contact lenses in the window ledge. They told us to wait an hour for them to clean up. Came back and the lenses were still there!! No wash cloths. Shower was leaking all over the floor. No blankets just a tiny sheet to cover yourself. Only one bath towel per person. When we asked for an extra we were told no by the cleaner. The location and pool are the only reason I gave them 2 stars. Save yourself the headache and go elsewhere.
