so close to the beach!

Hotel was a short walk to the beach, only a couple minutes! It was very clean considering the tracking of sand, the bed was comfortable but the sofa bed not so much. the beach chairs and umbrellas are available after 9 am for a daily rent of 40$. Price was a bit more than we wanted to spend for 1 night but our main priority was being close to the beach.

We come to SPI every summer. This was our first time staying at The Palms. We probably won’t stay anywhere else now! Clean, comfortable, convenient. Parking wasn’t an issue, they were diligent about hotel guests only parking in the lot. Beach was close and bed was comfy.

The Palms is a hidden gem!! It’s very simple if all you’re looking for is to sleep in the room and shower but well worth the stay! The restaurant has great breakfast, lunch and dinner! Robert the bartender and the servers are great! They also have great suggestions. You have a beach access right there that’s easy and with chairs and loungers. I highly recommend!!

We booked this hotel because it's pet friendly and its near the beach. We wanted to be able to enjoy as much time on the beach as possible. This location did not disappoint. The location - this place is located right on the water. It was very easy for us to get all of our things and spend all day at the beach. There is a restaurant and the food was very delicious. We ate there twice during our stay, blackened mahi was good. The parking lot is small, and it can get a little crowded since people will go there to eat, that aren't guests of the hotel. We didn't move our car much during peak times, so we were not impacted by that much. Rooms - our room was very clean when we arrived. We booked a suite room and it was all we needed. Bed was comfy, plenty of outlets around the bed to charge up, big fridge and a microwave. The decor was very plain, but thats not a negative. Pet Friendlyness - there is a charge for your pup to stay. Everything was very pet friendly. They are not allowed in the restaurant, but they can sit you near the pool to eat, which our dog loved because he got all the attention from the kids playing in the pool. One of the waiters was very friendly and my dog immediately became bff's. Wifi - there is Wifi in the rooms. This was the only issue for me. I had to hop on a work meeting and I struggled to connect to my work. I ended up using my phone as a Hotspot and barely got by. Keep that in mind if you need to work remotely. Closest star b's is 15 min car ride
