Liked: Cleanliness
When we first arrived, we were a little disappointed by the eroded beach. But after a few days, we realized that the magic of Playa Palms completely absorbed us. This place is awesome, and affordable. It’s located, literally in the heart of everything in Playa, but somehow miraculously quiet. The rooms are cute, and very clean. Breakfast on your private balcony is a real treat. The restaurant next-door, ASI, is the best food we had in Playa and they also deliver directly to the hotel, including cocktails to the beach. The cute neighborhood vibe in the hotel itself was also great, and there was never a problem, getting beach chairs. This was like a home for us while we were in Playa. We were there with a group of friends, each coming and going on different days And it worked wonderfully. On days when we knew we wanted to relax on the beach all day we walked over to fusion a couple blocks away and rented two chairs plus umbrella for 15 bucks for the day. I would highly recommend playa palms for a low-key affordable and really pleasant vacation. We will definitely be back. Oh, and the staff were so kind and so helpful! I can’t say enough how great they were there.

Beautiful property bordering the shore. Loungers on the sand looking out at the fishing boats (not amenable to swimming, but great swimming beach two blocks away). Restaurant next door has great food; get the ceviche. Carlos the concierge took care of all our transportation and activity needs. Our family had a great experience here.

This was our second time to Playa Palms Beach Hotel. We love that it is just minutes from 5th Ave with lots if restaurants near by. The beach was badly damaged by the Hurricane this summer. There is still sand and chairs on the beach but you have to walk to swim. Its about a 5 minute walk to the other beaches. Our only complaint is the wifi is hit or miss. At times it is great, others not very good and on the rainy day we had none at all most of the day.

Great location, great hotel!
the staff were wonderful and very helpful! We have been coming to Playa Palms Beach Hotel for over 10 years and it doesn't disappoint! Carlos (has worked there for around 10 years) welcomed us and was so helpful and friendly as he always is! Our room was nice and a great view, comfy table and lounge chairs on the lanai. It's easy walk out the door to the beach, each access to 5th Avenue, shops, restaurants, etc. We thoroughly enjoyed it and will return! Highly recommend staying at the Playa Palms Beach Hotel.
Beautiful morning sunrise from our lanai.

We stayed here for eight nights and we loved the view of the beach and the staff was very helpful and friendly!One of the days were spent indoors during a small tropical depression, which was a first time experience for us watching how rough the sea can get! Would definitely stay here again!

since this is resort town, noise is a part of the set. If you are looking for a quiet place to chill, perhaps this is not your place.

I have been coming here for many, many years. The hotel and grounds are immaculate. Housekeeping is great! The staff is unfailingly polite and helpful; always ready with a smile and kindness. I recommend Playa Palms without hesitation.The beach is lovely, and always clean with umbrellas and palm trees for shade for the loungers and Adirondack chairs. Very quiet at night. Very peaceful. Juli the manager,and Freddy at the front desk are terrific! I was fortunate to be there for the owners 25th anniversary party, Wow! Wonderful! What a party. Another great stay at Playa Palms 💯♥️!
