My husband and I stayed for 1 night. We loved the location and the restaurant. The restaurant staff was great and made our anniversary dinner very special. The only downside would be the beds. Not very comfortable. We'll definitely be back for dinner, but the beds and sleep quality have us looking somewhere else to sleep. more

Mid-December is not the prime time to visit South Padre Island, but the Palms Resort managed to capture the essence of tropical summer even when the weather was something less than ideal. True to its name, there are lots of palm trees at this cute little resort hotel, along with tiki lanterns and adorable tropical room furnishings. The rooms have... more

I plan on staying next year at the Palms Resort...it sits on the beach and merely steps from the Gulf. I am so excited - can hardly wait for my trip in 2010. Although I was not a guest in April of 2009, it was the hotel manager Tony near Atol and Gulf Blvd that recommended the cafe for a... more

I went and stayed the week before memorial day. It was great. This hotel is nice because it only allows guests older than 25 and is right on the ocean. The Cafe is pretty good too. I recommend the Turbo Pina Colada and Sashimi Tuna. :) more

The Palms was ideally located on the beach, clean, cheap but very small. My daughter is 14 months old and still sleeping in a pack n play. There is not much room to set up the pack n play in the room. When we did have the pack n play set up, walking room inside the room was minimal. The... more

I couldn't be happier with our stay here. The Palms is ideally located at about the center of the town, right on the beach - Gulf side. Service was good and the staff was pleasant. The queen-sized suite was spacious with bedroom area and sitting/kitchen area separated. Price was very fair. The resort's Cafe on the Beach had the best... more

Fabulous!

This is a great little place to stay! It's mere steps away from the beach, they have a nice pool with a great cafe and bar facing the beach. The rooms are a good size, the beds are comfy, and the whole place has a relaxed, laid-back vibe. Perfect for a beach getaway! They have cable and wireless internet, too,... more

Good: Great location, clean room, nice TV setup. Not so good: Beds will hurt your back, A/C is loud with questionable effectiveness, Cafe is somewhat overpriced. more

I stayed here last year with my girls and we loved it. This year my husband asked me what I wanted for my birthday and this is where I wanted to go. It's the perfect little hotel, right on the beach, convenient shower to wash the sand off, restaurant, pool, staff has always been friendly. The rooms are nice, clean,... more

I have come to the Palms Resort for 3 years in a row, this last trip made my 4th year. I called and spoke to the manager when I made my reservation. I told her there would be 2 adults, and 2 children. About a week before we arrived I had to call and change my date of arrival, all... more

Thank you for the opportunity to respond to this review. We always appreciate feedback and, as in the past, this feedback will help us improve. As this guest pointed out, she has stayed with us in several times in the past. Therefore, we were surprised by her comment that the room was not what she anticipated this time. In 2007...
