Wonderful

We had a wonderful stay at Palm Island Resort. From the moment we drove into the Resort we were treated so wonderful. Everyone was helpful and very nice. The villa was very clean and perfect for the 4 of us. We arrived to a very nice Birthday basket for my sister whom we were celebrating her 60th birthday. This was such an added surprise. We enjoyed the pool area and beach daily. We just had the best time and we thank everyone at the Resort for helping make our stay so amazing and memory making.

Our stay was perfect really, especially for a family with kids! Everything was so clean, convenient, and I think remodeled. The island is so quiet and private! Even items I forgot at home were included for use to use at the house. We have 3 littles, so they absolutely loved the ferry ride. Just don't forget groceries right there at the Publix before you get on the ferry. We really enjoyed the restaurants, Beach Road Wine & Bistro and Farlow's, but we did have to get off the island to get to them. That was perfectly fine and almost part of the experience. I cannot imagine not having a golf cart on the island; we loved it and went for a ride each morning and evening. Normally, we stay in busy areas, so if you like to shop, visit the outlets around Bradenton before coming. They were great, and we ate at Peach's for breakfast! One of the best breakfasts I have ever had! That was on our way down from Georgia. The only thing that was annoying were the mosquitoes. Like I said, we are from Georgia and are completely used to mosquitoes, but the FL ones chase you...really! Kind of funny but don't forget bug spray. The screen porch on the back was a lifesaver! Lastly, I loved the beach, lounging chairs. They were right on the beach, which is incredibly close. I would book here every year, but we were about 9 hours away, so the drive was a little much for us. You won't regret staying here! Book now!

Staff was great, property was well maintained and clean. Location is top notch.

This is a special place. We have come here before and will come here again. (Reservations are already in.) We come here to unwind and relax. The resort meets all these needs. Walk on the beach, read a book by the pool, relax with a cocktail on the balcony and watch the sun set into the Gulf. It is Paradise!

What a great place to stay!! We came here 16 years ago for our honeymoon and came back with our family of 4 kids. We were right in the beach to see wonderful sunsets. Had a great condo, with all the space and amenities we needed. The food at Rum Bay was to die for. Everyone should have their yellowfin tuna steak as it is the best I have ever tasted. The pool was perfect and our time at Palm Island was amazing and the staff was wonderful. I would like to plan every year to come down and enjoy this wonderful place!!!

Awesome beachfront unit! Well-equipped. Staff extremely friendly and helpful!

Everything was fine, but would like to be able to enter and exit when you would like. I had to leave a day early to catch my flight home because the ferry wasn't running that early.
