My first visit to The Palms was perfect and I will return. I needed a long weekend getaway from the snowy northeast. The Palms sits directly on the beach/ocean with fabulous views from the oceanfront rooms. The beach and pool chairs are high end with towel and drink service. There's a lovely and safe boardwalk that runs directly behind the hotel so guests can walk and jog throughout the day. I visited the Aveda Spa and had a massage with Michelle. Michelle has excellent massage technique and the spa rooms are high end. The music is spot on. The steam room was relaxing after a day in the sun. The spa manager Hailey is professional, friendly, and accommodating. The on site restaurant has excellent food and service with a lovely covered porch with tropical fans overlooking the pool area. The Palms is an easy shuttle ride from the Miami airport. There is a Starbucks one block away. You can get to South Beach in minutes. If you need to make a special request for your reservation, call manager Erwin, he's excellent. I highly recommend it!
