Spotless great studio with a balcony providing amazing ocean views. Staff was fantastic, location was perfect, super close to 5th avenue but far enough away so sleep wasn’t disturbed. Small private beach with loungers and umbrellas. Will stay here again!

This is my 3rd stay at the Playa Palms Beach Hotel. I love its boutique style, clean, ample sized rooms and its close proximity to the lively nightlife and restaurants but tucked away quietly on a "very" small beach. I also enjoyed having my daily breakfast, always delivered on time, on my private patio/balcony overlooking the ocean.

The room was great. Clean. Plenty of hot water. View and balcony with the hammock were wonderful. It’s just sad to see how eroded the beach is now and how much algae there is. Great location. Very walkable. Staff friendly and helpful. Thank you. Would stay again.

The resort was right in the middle of downtown Playa and allowed for easy access to everything you would want. The rooms were a little dated but nice. The only item I would comment on is a need for external pest control. There are a lot of ants in the sand and on the balcony making it hard to enjoy the outdoor space. Overall, a better than average experience as maid service was provided daily.

I’ve stayed at The Palms many times and it never disappoints. This boutique property is a gem. Staff is consistently friendly and attentive. Excellent location, EASY walk to "all the things" including 5th Avenue. All the rooms are great but I love falling asleep to the waves when staying in an ocean front room. Breakfast is always delivered on time and always delicious. My go-to spot for a relaxing stay-cation or romantic get-away.

Check in was extremely seemless. Breakfast was an additional cost but extremely refreshing. Our room was turned over every day, and our cleaning person did a wonderful job, even left us very cute animal theme towels on our bed. We had the Ocean Room 101. Super easy to get to and very quiet during this high season tourist time. Everyone was very friendly.
We had a rental car and it was easy to find parking before 10pm. After 10pm its a bit dicey due to all the clubs around the area. Dont worry you cannot hear the clubs at all.

Everything about our little ocean front room was perfect for us. The room was cute and furnished with just enough for this chef to cook in the room and then relax with a movie. The restaurants nearby and on the beach were very good too. We ate a seafood platter right on our patio offsred to us by the place nwxt door. Room service! If you want to sit and stare at the ocean and hear the waves with some solitude this place is for you. Not a swimming beach necessarliy - you have to walk a little ways down, but the most beautiful picturesque scene and fishermen coming in with catches.The staff were very kind and helpful. This was our favorite little cove along our travels so far. Clean hotel, excellent location, everything you need to feel like a resort stay at a fraction of the cost.
