It has the best beach and amenities. The only downfall is that things are really quiet really early. I'm no party animal but would enjoy using the pool or hot tub past dusk. Great for a group. This was our 2nd trip to the island, this rental had less as far as games, cards, etc. That might be nice to know so you can plan what to bring for entertainment.

I would have expected that the units be clean. Ours was for the most part. However the carpet was stained badly in the bedroom and and several areas in the living room. If the unit at least had the carpet deep cleaned perhaps I would recommend this property. Also did not understand house cleaning. Don't know of any place that would make you call for bath towels and have them left outside. Other then those two items the island was great and very relaxing. Many walks on the beach in the morning and at sunset.

Enjoyed the fact there were no cars allowed. However our unit was in need of updating - furniture was old and saggy, wallpaper was coming off the wall, bedroom wall lamp was loose, towels were tired.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We’ve been to Palm Island Resort several times before this visit and always enjoyed our stay. This visit represents a first for us as we’re staying a full two weeks. When we arrived in our unit on Saturday, we felt the accommodations were adequate, but definitely in need of some attention. The wallpaper was peeling in a few places, the carpet was a bit worn and the furnishings were showing their age ... or at least noticeable wear. Over the next 24 hours though, our initial impressions went from dubious to worse as what was initially noticed as a faint odor seemed to grow to the point that we decided something had to be done, or our two-week vacation was going to be spoiled by this development. We called the resort office and explained our concerns, expressing our desire to have the carpet cleaned. Instead, the office offered to move us to a different unit. We eventually agreed, and, within a couple of hours, had re-packed everything and moved a few buildings down the road, with the help of one of the resort’s very helpful bellmen. The unit we are now in is far and away better than the previous unit. The carpets are clean and in great shape as are the furnishings. Most importantly ... no more bad odor. In fact everything smelled fresh and clean. So, moral of the story is that each of these units is privately owned and, unless you have first-hand experience, or a trusted recommendation, the quality of the unit you get is a hit-or-miss situation. Thankfully, the resort management seems very willing to accommodate reasonable requests and have certainly satisfied us!

It was not well-named! The décor of kitchen and bathroom was still from 1980's and wallpaper was peeling. We complained and they just said they would tell the owners. Also resort staff gave no assistance with sourcing local activities 'Here's a list - go call them yourself.' was what the Recreation Manager said when we asked her about boat trips, fishing, restaurants - everything! Apart from that the resort was just as quiet and beautiful as we remembered with just as many shells, birds and flowers.

The only negative which could not be controlled was the red tide which had everyone coughing and left dead fish on the beach. This was happening all down the west coast not just Palm Is. Just nature.

Reviewer Comments: My husband and I chose Palm Island Resort for our 30th Anniversary Celebration. With limited time off, driving rather than flying to an island paradise was preferred. The limited access to the island (by boat or ferry) definitely maintained the island atmosphere and the Resort's privacy. We planned ahead and brought most of our own food, but a Publix is conveniently located on the mainland (less than a mile before the ferry) so shopping wasn't a problem. Our Beach Villa was beautiful (though a bit dated) and conveniently located near the island's restaurant, Rum Bay. Rum Bay offered a range of fare (though a little pricey). Taking a water taxi to the mainland to Johnny Leverock's was a highlight and the food was good and affordable. We brought our own bikes and enjoyed long bike rides and leisurely walks on the beautiful gulf side beach. Despite less than wonderful weather, we really enjoyed our stay at the resort and will definitely go back.

It has gone from a quaint little secret getaway island to a large and more developed resort with a lot to offer. The beaches are pristine, beautiful, and not crowded. We will be back.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have been coming to Palm Island for almost 25 years, but had never visited during September until this year. We were on the island for five days and it was wonderfully quiet and relaxing. The beach is never crowded, but during our stay we enjoyed having it almost completely to ourselves on weekdays. The weather was great, with only the expected amount of rain, and mostly gorgeous sunny days with highs in the eighties. The property we rented for this stay was up to the usual high standards we expect when we stay at Palm Island, and the staff were friendly and helpful, again, as always. We love visiting Palm Island and will be back again!

The resort property is beautiful, great activities available, beach unbeatable. Rum Bay Restaurant is consistently good, and very reasonably priced. We have been to Palm Island Resort multiple times and always have a wonderful time. The only reason we are not giving our stay this time all '5 stars' is that the 1-bedroom unit we were in is just 'worn out'. It is looking shabby, especially the bathroom. The wallpaper was peeling off the wall, the plates on the knobs of the sink, tub/shower all fell off, the sink faucet was almost impossible to pull up/on. The bathroom just has a very dated, worn out look to it. The bed mattress sags in the middle. The unit just 'needs a facelift'. That said, everything was certainly clean, but the shabbiness in the bathroom made it feel 'kinda gross'. We had a great time, despite these few things!! We highly recommend Palm Island Resort!!!

My girlfriend has been coming there for 10 years but this was my first time. She was slightly disappointed with our room, saying it was more outdated than some of the others she has stayed in not to mention the entire room along with the furniture smelled like cigerette smoke. Other than that the stay was fantastic. The staff was extremely pleasant and helpful.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: If you are looking for some quiet time with the family this is the perfect spot. No stress, no crowds just pure relaxation. I've been searching for a place like this for 17 years and I finally found it. The villas are wonderful and clean. You must get a golf cart to drive around the resort, and everyone you see always says hello you don't find that anywhere else on the planet. The staff is wonderful, so helpful.I knew it was going to be a great stay when I received a phone call a week in advance of our arrival. They were letting me know that they were waiting for our arrival and if I there was anything else they could help with.If I had to change one thing, just one little thing it would be to keep the restaurant open later. It closes at 9PM every night. You stay at the beach till 6 or 7 you have to rush to get to the restaurant. Other than that 1 little thing, it really is the perfect vacation spot. I can sum it up like this, if you are looking for a vacation at the beach with lots of people and activities, waiters bringing you cold rum punch and elegant dining, this is not the place. But if you are looking for a relaxing spot to spend with family and friends, no crowds or long lines, the ability to share an entire beach with may 3 others this is the perfect spot.

It was a beautiful, restful resort between Ft. Myers and Venice near Part Charlotte we enjoyed our beautiful condo, the shell-laden beach, the fitness center, and the activities that were available. Had a great time kayaking the mangrove trail with Kris who was very knowledgeable about the history, animals and the ecosystem of this true barrier island. We will be back!

Excellent

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I stayed on Palm Island in early December. The island is great but the rental I stayed in was honestly the worst and dirtiest rental I have ever stayed in. Everything from dirty carpets and curtains to old bed sheets and blankets. The bathroom was grimy and utterly disgusting. I also came home with hundreds of bites on my legs which I suspect are from bedbugs. I paid a good amount of money to stay there and avoided going into the apartment as much as I could. Just awful.
