The Palms has absolutely every amenity you want to find at a Miami Beach resort. As long as you are ok with being a short distance from South Beach (about a 25 minute walk or 15 minute bike ride) then it's hard to find anything wrong with this hotel. We opted for a cheaper room which did not offer a beach view. We expected this to be less quality, however, we were pleasantly surprised upon walking into our room. The room is designed very modern with a beach theme. The bed was very comfortable and the view was of the avenue below with downtown Miami in the distance which was nice. The grounds are absolutely impeccable. Lush tropical trees, a large pool area, 2 talking parrots and a gated entrance to the beach. The beach service is amazing. The staff is polite and helpful. You can order food and drinks right on the beach! The water/view is unbeatable! I forgot to mention that the pool is also heated which we needed at night since we visited in February. The property has a great store located inside for snacks and breakfast. It also features a bar and restaurant which were also great. We look forward to coming back soon!
