Most comfortable bed I ever slept in. Would’ve loved one blanket though. The pool was great and loved the courtyard area. Very central and close to shopping and the beach. Would definitely stay here again.

We stayed in the king suite, living room and kitchenette with a big balcony. The Palm was exactly what we wanted. Close to everything. If you don’t like noise being kitty corner to 5th Ave strip there are a few places with loud music close by, we still didn’t find it bothersome. The staff was friendly and very helpful. We had a wonderful experience!

The employees in the hotel were very nice. We got to enjoy 7 days in this property. The only thing I do not like was they did not have enough alcohol at the bar in the rooftop.
