We love The Palms! This was our 4th time and we are already thinking of coming back in April for our anniversary. We appreciate it for its quieter ambiance, lush grounds and awesome beach. We love this stretch of Miami beach and the Palms has stellar beach services. The location is great as you can easily walk to SOBE if you want, but honestly, we rarely want to leave The Palms because it is so relaxing. The staff is great. The restaurant is tasty. We love dining on the breezy patio. Elevator can be slow, but its a smaller older (more classic)hotel and we like that about it. We have recommended it a couple times and now have friends that go every year too. If you want to experience trendy Miami you can go next door to Faena, we actually ate there at Pao for dinner one night. The food was fine, but the restaurant was so LOUD, we could not wait to get back to the oasis of The Palms. Honestly, our dinner at The Palms the night before was more enjoyable and about 1/4 the cost.
