Incredible place to gather for a family reunion
Our stay at The Palms was even better than I imagined. If searching for a special place to accommodate your group, this might be the one. We were a group of 25, ages 2-74 years, gathered for a family reunion.
Although great reviews and photos, I didn't realize how special this place truly was. A walk two miles either way on the beach, and The Palms is the only private villa on a beautiful beach lined with large resorts. Very exclusive and so special. Many asked about renting it for their own families! Its proximity made it an easy walk to rent sea kayaks, get a massage, shop locally.
The staff were incredibly professional and were a secret ingredient in our stay. They were fun, thoughtful, engaging. The food was wonderful. The chef and kitchen staff cooked for us as if we were their own family- making special meals for the children, celebrating birthdays, and even accommodating a shellfish allergy in a menu packed with seafood. Much anxiety making the pre-stay decisions and am now laughing at myself. Not to worry- you are in truly good hands.
The Palms is much like a favorite pair of jeans- comfortable and well- loved. Everything for an unforgettable time is there. I had some worries about the kids around the pool and on stairs/ decks. We limited young families to the first floor, kept our eyes open, and we enjoyed it all! Was a great week packed with amazing memories in a magical and beautiful place. Take a leap of faith- your friends and family will be grateful!
