I loved it here ! I would come back again for sure. My fave beach as it has a small town feel and very walkable. It was not too busy this trip, I have been in March and it is much busier. ! Staff was wonderful and the accomodation so comfy, and welcoming
Charming property across the street from the beach. They provide beach chairs and bikes. Loved the small heated pool for days we didn't want the beach. Very relaxing place very close to downtown Pass-a-Grille.
Super cute beach bungalow in a fantastic location. Friendly and helpful staff. Loved the room decor and pool. Appreciated having chairs and towels for the beach and complimentary bikes for exploring the town.
I loved the cozy adorable room! Close to beach, and loved the place. It is a perfect getaway for 2. I stayed in room#8. Very clean and bed was really nice for sleeping.
Perfect location. Right across the the street from the beach, a couple a blocks from all the restaurants. We stayed for the weekend and didnt have to use our car at all. The room was perfect for 2 people. Bed was comfortable, room was very clean. The beach right across the street was perfect. No waves, clear water and the sunset was amazing!! We will definitely be coming back!!
Our first time at the Sabal Palms. It was very nice and the service was excellent. Clean towels everyday and would even do cleaning but since we had our dog we opted out of the cleaning. Nice refrigerator and stove. Provided coffee and condiments for coffee. Beds were comfy. The room was very clean.
I can say the bathroom door would stick and you may want to caulk along the bathtub. Also I thought we were getting a 5 person suite which was shown on our reservation but we did not get room that was shown on line. HOWEVER we were fine we with accommodations. I will go back. Staff was also super friendly and attentive.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Room comfort
Staff friendly. Location excellent. Stayed in room 8. Bed uncomfortable. Window A/C unit VERY noisy. Would stay again but not in room 8.
Location is excellent -- right across from the beach. But the accomodation was extremely disappointing. The picture on the Hotel.com site of the room was nothing like the one we got. There was no way we could put 4 people in it --we were fortunate one in our party dropped out. The unit was very old -- nothing had been updated and it was very cramped. It was clean, though, which helped. I can't really recommend this place based on our experience.
The location is tucked in but convenient. The accommodation for my grandma was nice. Heads up! Lots of steps but what a gem! Cozy and bony. Will come again!!
Great place. I got there early and the room was ready so they let me check in. Also the parking was great cause you can park anywhere on the island for free.
The gentleman working the front desk was amazing ! He let us park early (3 hours early ) and let us use the paddle board and bikes before we even were officially checked in
Just a few steps to the beach! The staff was friendly and helpful. Peaceful and comfortable surroundings. They should update the blinds for the windows for better privacy. Water pressure in the bathroom was low. Also make it ADA-accessible. I enjoyed my stay and hope to go back in the near future!
I've stayed at Pass a Grille about 4 times and this was the best hotel. I just rebooked for 2 months from now. Facing the beach, steps away. Only 2 blocks from a cute little grill where we ate most of our meals. Parking very easy. Very clean and staff friendly and helpful.
