Location salvation

Location cannot be beat. Great restaurant and beach access make this a winner, but don't come looking for fine finishes or furnishings.

2 night stay

The best thing is you have beach access and the cafe is really good. The WiFi did not work and the rooms are very dated and didn’t have a blow dryer. The parking is very limited so if you have two cars you have to find parking for your second car elsewhere. It’s pricey for what it is in my opinion.
Juanita, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Best place going! Clean and close to the beach. Wish they had more beach loungers and umbrellas. They should tell visitors about reserving them ahead of time or as you check in.
Arnoldo Giovanni, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Convenient for the beach access and dining near. Limited parking space. Staff and cleaning attendants were great.
JoAnn, 3-night trip

Dated

Perfect location on the beach, the Beach Cafe was delicious. The Palms Resort needs an update, old mismatched furniture, rusty doors, coat rack fell off the wall. They provided mineral oil to remove the tar off your feet, that was helpful.

Eduardo, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great value and location! Older hotel but clean and big rooms. Loved cafe right at the hotel. After birding most the day took walks at the beach and ate most meals at the cafe. Parking was facilitated by a new parking attendant we made sure hotel guests were not squeezed out by cafe guests. We had a brand new king size mattress that was super comfortable. Would stay again.
Sally, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A gem!

The outside looks sort of run down but the rooms are actually super cute and clean. The attached restaurant had good food. The parking lot is the only issue we had because it’s so small. But overall this place is a hidden gem right on the beach!
Alicia, 1-night trip

Great stay!

It was great! Right at the beach and charming room with 60’s, 70’s vibe. We had out dog so being able to order to go from their cafe was perfect and the meals were all delicious!
