Return to Palm's this year after a few years without the opportunity to return to Miami. Why Palm's? By habit, for convenience, by laziness can be but one thing is sure: in more than 10 years of almost annual visits I never had a bad surprise. The hotel remains true to itself and it is found as we left the previous time (some improvement work and more).

Most: friendly staff, hotel on a human scale, quiet (sometimes too quiet some say). One thing is certain you feel calm, almost at home. The newly refurbished rooms are spotless, no complaints about cleanliness. In addition to a beautiful pool we have direct access to the beach (which is not the case when you are lower on Ocean Drive). We are within walking distance of Lincoln Road and even Ocean Drive and its restaurants but it gets more limited due to the distance and the heat. But in 10 minutes from Taxi there is. Excellent compromise compared to hotels located further north. Ah, I forgot: the wifi is also free and covers the hotel and the pool.

The least, precisely, is that apart from Lincoln Road, we are far from the life of Ocean Drive. Very good for those looking for calm, otherwise it's taxi for any restaurant. Nothing of grace and, personally, I prefer to sacrifice a few taxi rides but benefit from this bubble of calm offered by the hotel. Lovers of variety will also have quickly toured the (very good) bar of the hotel and the menu of the restaurant which by choosing the "organic and wellbeing" card a few years ago can be lost the good ones alive ( even if it's actually good). Small flat on the breakfast buffet which for a hotel of this standard, is a bit limited.

In short, the Palms is the choice of calm and security. Ideal alone, couple or family for a relaxing setting just steps from the heart of South Beach. Those who prefer to be in the heart of the local night will go a little further south. It depends on everyone's expectations.
