Top Palmer Island Hotel Reviews

Admiralty Inn & Suites - a Red Collection Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I have a great experience with this hotel. This is third time staying here. The staff is kind and allows me to check-in early. I plan to stay here next year, August 2027"

The Newport Harbor Hotel & Marina

10/10 Excellent

"The location was perfect! So easy to walk to shopping and restaurants. The view from the marina is fantastic. The sunsets both nights we were there were beautiful! The staff we interacted with were friendly and helpful. Overall, a great place, and we’d definitely stay again."

The Cape Club Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing and clean!!! Friendly staff."

New Bedford Harbor Hotel

8/10 Good

"Excellent front line staff, very helpful and welcoming. Definitely make sure you visit the on-site restaurant."

The Pell - Part of JdV by Hyatt

10/10 Excellent

"The Pell is a great choice for a stay in Newport."

Seaport Resort & Marina

8/10 Good

"The seaport resort and marina was very nice. We did receive a room that was not cleaned but received a new room very quickly by the front desk. The layout I would say is a little quirky, no elevators and the building looks 2 stories high but we're in the 400 section. The room we stayed in was very nice and the kids loved the stay. The outdoor venue with food truck, lounge and bar area with live music overlooking the marina was beautiful. Kids had a blast dancing way past their bedtime. We would stay there again. Thank you!"

Falmouth Tides

8/10 Good

"Really great to be right on the beach. Beautiful setting. But the beach and in water has lots of rocks. Difficult to walk through or stroll on the beach. But nice when just laying on a chaise. (provided by hotel) Room is very nice and clean. Beds very good. Wonderful to have our dog with us. Staff was having some turnover during the stay. The first day a bit chaotic. They don't provide full view photos of rooms on the website(s) so we couldn't get a handle on size beforehand. In the end, the bedroom was a good size. But not one photo of bathroom. (I've never seen this missing in any other hotels on internet) The bathroom is smaller than expected, but nice and clean and worked well. Everything in room seems updated. Just to know and plan - there isn't a restaurant or food setting. There is a truck in the lot that sells coffee, beverages and pastries. There is a rooftop with furniture on the two level hotel overlooking ocean. It was a full moon. Very nice aspect. This is a very expensive hotel stay."
