Little Palm Island Resort & Spa Reviews

We have been coming back since our Honeymoon in 1995. Love this place!

I only went there for sunday lunch lodging was for the rich and famous

If you wanna your little piece of paradise. This is the place to be!

This place is amazing. Magical. I had the opportunity to dine here on a visit to Marathon. I would have loved to have stayed in one of the cabanas, but it was all booked up, not to mention quite pricey. For the well healed, this is a can t miss.

The hostess and waitstaff were phenomenal. The food was fresh, and well above average. The setting was outrageous! Pictures can possibly do it justice.

Our visit started with a short boat ride from the mainland to the island. We were greeted by the hostess who told us that we can sit for dinner or have a drink at the bar first. We walked around for a short bit and then sat down at dinner. A little while later, the sun began to set and we decided we wanted to take pictures by the beach. We found a fire pit and sat down at some very comfortable sofas there. We have not yet finished dinner, as we had only just ordered dessert, but didn t want to miss the sunset. The waitress found us and brought our dessert down to us. As we were so comfortable and having such a great time by the fire pit, The waitress told us to stay, and brought our personal items down to us.

After paying the check, we wandered up to the piano bar. Set in an outdoor bar with the most amazing views, we sat by the piano as the pianist offered to play whatever we would like to hear. Only later did we return by ferry back to the mainland.

Although expensive, this is an experience we will not soon forget. I will return when the opportunity arises.

It was wonderful here.
The island is a dream, it was wonderful to eat on the beach and enjoy the view of the sea. The staff was very courteous and friendly. The food was also very good, but the view becomes a minor matter.
For me the most beautiful place in the world that I like to think back to, especially because this is where I got my marriage proposal.

Great service and food. Employees were very helpful. Bring bug repellent you will need it.

I gave it 4 star's because it is still under construction. Hurricane Irma really made a mess out here. But it is a 5 star resort. Can not wait for the construction to be finished. It will be better than before.

My wife and I recently had the pleasure of staying at Little Palm, and it was outstanding. Amazing service, location, and food out of this world. We did the chef s table inside the kitchen, and it was second to none. Absolutely an amazing experience, and we will be back.

One of the best places I have been. The service is unbelievable every detail has been thought of including ice cold hand towels for your head in the heat of the day nothing to sign for they know who you are without having to tell them they know your drinks just raise 2 hand most private and romantic place

We went for dinner, followed by lunch the next day and a visit to the Spa. Massages were heavenly. If you don't stay at the resort, the friendly staff escort you around and back to the shutyle boat.

This place is not all what it s cracked up to be. I called to inquire about pricing to a lady named Carol and instead of her just explaining what everything, she was too busy criticizing the fact I called on separate line. She made it clear she did have time for my questions or concerns. That is way too much money to be treated like trash! 2200- 3800a night! They need lessons on Potential guess etiquette!

I was very impressed with the cottages. Very comfortable and gives the impression of what visiting Florida used to be like.

Definitely recommend them for vacations and staycatjons as well!

Extremely overrated!!! Very pretty hotel but after a couple of days gets old. Staff super friendly, food excellent but absolutely nothing special about this place. No beach, small pool and nothing else to do AT ALL!
Went to spa and after paying over $1000 for a Royal Treatment I got the WORST rubbing ever, and I say rubbing because she didn t even give me a massage, my 10 year old could do a better job. It s a been there done that kind of experience, no coming back!

I have only visited for lunch so far, but hope to stay for a longer trip sometime even though I live nearby. Little Palm is the embodiment of a retreat, and this appears to be supported by excellent customer service and friendly staff. Much of the island seems to underline their slogan, "get lost" in a charming fashion. It's an interesting blend of old and modern, rustic and developed, and a great example of this dichotomy is captured at the restaurant where the tiny native Key Deer peek in at you during your fine dining experience.

For first time visitors coming by land, you'll want to park at the Little Torch Key address and wait at the building there where your every need will be attended to until the scheduled boat arrives. If you've booked a stay this will all be explained ahead. If you're visiting for lunch, make reservations online or call, and plan to arrive 15 minutes early to make your boat and scheduled lunch. Traffic is highly variable and it's better to wait in the comfortable seating area for a bit longer than miss your boat or arrive harried.

There are a limited number of places non-overnight guests can explore around the island, but it's still a pleasant experience that gives a taste of the rest and makes you want to check out more. Great for a special occasion or romantic side trip.

It is right next to a boy scout island that is full of birds and swamp. The smell on the boy scout island is nauseating.

Beautiful island, great staff and food was very good . Friendly key deer walk right up to your table but your not allowed to feed them. They are a protected species. Dining inside or out on the beach. Come for dinner or stay in one of the cute thatched roof bungalow . It's a beautiful experience .

Absolutely the most beautiful place, the best food in the world, relaxing vacation, magical bungalows... if you want a paradise vacation, that s what this is. Worth every penny! Only reachable by boat, magical and romantic. Super clean, the kindest staff, the most incredible meals you ll ever taste.

Still under construction. Very beautiful area with a sandbar and one of a kind fishing. Nice clear water. Should be open by January 2020. Subject to change.

Excellent secluded hide away. Very romantic. Staff is very accommodating .

Was a beautiful island getaway, but still being rebuilt to open in 2020. I'm sure It will be better from what I've seen

Used to be quite the place....first class. My fifth visit. That visit three weeks ago was a major disappointment. Never again. Brought three other couples with us, each person was disappointed and will not recommend or return.

My wife and I enjoyed 3 nights here in 2017, within two weeks the hurricane hit. I understand they are reopening in 2020. We will be back, it was a beautiful getaway with top notch staff, food and accommodations.

OH YEAH don't miss this place. Our brunch was excellent and the service impeccable.

My husband and I celebrated our wedding anniversary in Key West this past weekend. One of my husband's colleagues had spent his honeymoon at the resort, and strongly recommended it to us. Upon perusing the inviting web site, we made dinner reservations. We weren't able to take advantage of the online reservation system since there was a glitch in the connection for several hours, but the woman who took our reservation over the phone was very pleasant and professional. Thankfully, the welcome center was easy to find, and we were well attended to from the first moment by the staff. The boat captain was friendly, and the ride to the resort was pleasant. The hostess walked out to greet us at the boat, and knew us by name upon arrival. Our menus were personalized with our names and a happy anniversary greeting. The food and wine selection was great, and the service was even better. We enjoyed watching a gorgeous sunset in a quiet, relaxing setting as the Key deer walked near diners on the beach. The meal was delicious. After dessert, we were invited to explore the area. Our server attended to us at the cozy outdoor fire pit and as we listened to the live jazz band and made requests. I will say that this was the most expensive dinner I have ever had, and the portions were a bit small for the high price, but we were definitely satisfied. The beautiful gourmet presentation and overall experience made up for the expense. I would definitely recommend reserving a meal at this resort to anyone vacationing in the Keys. I can only imagine staying at the resort would be an even better experience!

Beautiful resort with great customer service and a view to die for.

Truly breath taking place to visit! The beaches are beautiful and the water is so clear! This place reminds me of something you would see for a destination on The Bachelor(ette). The bungalows have outdoor showers, which to us is a dream! There is an adorable yoga hut that over looks the water, and my favorite hammock near the bar right over the water :)

It's wonderful to see a place that has their tables and chairs for dining on the ACTUAL beach, not overlooking it. They pride themselves on minimal technology and thus why you won't find any TV's on the island except for 1 in the great room :) Unless things have changed in recent years, which would suck. I really loved the no phone and TV mentality.

Getting ready to be the best most Posh resort in the keys, only a few more months before perfection is unvailed!

This is a Magical place with incredible service, food & atmosphere! Love it & will definitely be going back!

Came here for dinner. Food was amazing. Couldn't have been better. The waitstaff was super nice and very helpful.

Called to schedule a vacation on 3/21/19 and was told that they are closed due to damage until December or January.

GREAT food, interesting key deer. Great water sports, comfortable room, it was great To have no cell phone use around other guests, no TV . Great for a romantic time. Keep up the great work.

I got married here. One of the most beautiful places in the world.

I had a very interesting experience with their restaurant. I began attempting to get in touch with the dining room almost 2 months ago and could not get anyone to answer. Then once I did a week before our arrival they said they were totally booked for the entire weekend.

However, I asked my boyfriend's assistant to see if she could get us a reservation as she always seems to be able to get him a reservation. Funny enough once she called and mentioned he was an NFL player they miraculously found an available table for us.

The experience of taking the boat to the dining room and having our table on the beach was amazing. We decided on the 4 course dinner option and everything was about average flavor. We also enjoyed a few cocktails before I became sick to my stomach. Not sure if being on the yacht all day caught up to me or I caught food poisoning but as soon as we returned to our home that night I was very sick.

The 4-course dinner for 2 and about 2 cocktails each averaged $700.

Ultimately we will not be returning.

Staff is wonderful. Facility is all new and well-planned, at least most of it. The food/dining experience is exemplary. My husband came back from the beach looking forward to a nice hot bath with the salts the resort provided. He took a brief outdoor shower to remove the sand and then proceeded to fill the tub. When partly filled, the water ran cold. I noticed that several buildings had tankless Rinnai water heaters, which should never run out of hot water. I called the front desk, who confirmed this and sent a maintenance person out. When he got here, he said that what is there, in fact, is a 30 gallon electric tank shared by our unit and the one next door. He said we d have to wait for the tank to heat back up to get any more hot water. So, no bath.
Yes, this is an exclusive resort. But for $3000 a night, shouldn t a person have enough water to take a hot bath? Is that really too much to ask? I think it isn t. It s unfortunate that something like this ends up overshadowing an otherwise good stay because someone was too cheap to install tankless water heaters in this block of suites. Hopefully, this will be corrected in the near future.

Great for get lost it !!! Thanks god was no tv in the room , thanks god no cell phone Allow . I got my husband all for my self !!!! Really nice and romantic weekend

President Hoover's Southern White House was here. Good idea!
Remote (must take the Presidents launch), perfect dream island, delightful staff, food and deer come to your beach-side table.
You will dream about it, ever after.

This place is worth every dollar you spend staying there, the rooms are beautiful, even when you are in the social facilities of the hotel you have privacy. The chef is excellent as is the attention !! This a gem!!

Private, secluded, romantic. Service fantastic. Food excellent (take a chef's tour of the kitchen). Great wine list. Spa treatment top notch. Great romantic turn down service. Just like the best of Tahiti, but without having to travel around the world. tb review is puzzling--there had to be some one-off event. Only one warning: this place is not cheap. But you do get what you pay for.

The place is absolutely amazing, however this time service wasn t as good. We didn t get the suite we booked , coffee maker wasn t working food choices weren t as good .

This is absolutely the best resort we have ever stayed at! The service was incredible, food was excellent and the rooms were clean and comfortable. Loved every moment of our stay!

A lot of plants and tress remodeling looking real nice seems like a really fun place

This area was devastated by hurricane irma. If it does reopen it wont for another year or more
Update. Little Palm is working its way back. Looking good.

We had brunch at the restaurant. The staff was extremely accommodating and the food was excellent!

They have done an amazing job recovering from Hurricane Irma! This is absolute first class service. The staff is friendly, Accommodating and knowledgeable. The executive chef serves great local fare. My husband I came here for our first get away since Covid. LPI is doing a great job during these wonky times. The sunsets are amazing as are the luxury accommodations.

Better than advertised and such a beautiful place. Outstanding food, kind people and great cocktails!

The sea sparkles at the most exclusive of Florida Keys Resorts in the late-afternoon sun and the only decision of the day is whether to wake up for an early morning snorkel or lounge lazily enjoying a leisurely frolic. The best part? This is your romantic retreat and you never have to admit to anything.

What an incredible place! My wife and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary on Little Palm Island this weekend. It was amazing and we will return often now that we have discovered this island paradise. The staff was wonderful and made our anniversary very special.

INCREDIBLE in every sense of the word. The place is breathtaking. The staff is fantastic. The food is impeccable. The absolute perfect vacation to just let go and watch the world go by. And the deer, they are the cherries on top of this INCREDIBLE paradise.

Great location, food, getaway hard to improve on what they offer. The food prices were crazy. A mohito drink for $35, lamb chops (2) small $65, alacarte.

Cozy. Private.
Good place to get back and forth in the lower keys

I have been going to LPI since the early 90's. One of my favorite places in the world to go. Broke my heart whe. The hurricane destroyed it but, 2020 here I come. Can't wait for it to reopen.

Service and accommodations were 5 star all the way around. Food was outstanding and again 5 star. We booked again for the same time next year on the way home. One of the few places I have ever been for a getaway that I didn't want to leave.

Great place to stay, one of the best resorts in the Florida Keys. Boats run every hour to bring you to and from the resort, they have lots of activities. From snorkeling and diving trips, kayaks and stand ups. They have a gym and a spa, great bungalows. You can also fly in via Sea plane, great restaurant and staff.

A bit disappointing. I made four calls and two emails to try to schedule 10 couples 5 months away. I did this over a two week period of time and not one call or anything. Crickets. The hotel was responsive but I guess they couldn t get the reservations person who is offsite motivated enough.
