The hotel

No TV’s. No phones. Just the two of you. Sound like complete bliss? That’s what you’ll find at the Little Palm Island Resort and Spa. Arrive by seaplane or private boat to this island just off the Keys, and you’ll be greeted with a refreshing cocktail at the Shore Station, before heading to your luxury bungalow to enjoy a quiet, romantic break. The lush private island is dotted with tropical scenery and exotic wildlife, with your thatched roof bungalows nestled in between. Enjoy the copper bath on your private balcony, order some room service, or head to the pool bar to make friends – whatever takes your fancy! Of course, there is WiFi, and a TV in the main room for any essential events, but ringing phones are taboo here, so you can enjoy your trip in peace.

Overall, a positive experience, but I believe that how was the resort renovated after the hurricane that destroyed it, and how is the overall service, does not justify the increased prices which are very high. The staff, particularly in the restaurant, should better match the standard of the location.

The service and room were amazing, and the food was delicious. It was a great place to have dinner on the beach. We felt so spoiled and removed from the rest of the world the whole time. The resort was very relaxing and romantic. Any pictures I took really do not do it justice. Thanks for an incredible stay.

Our stay at Little Palm Island was a very mixed experience. Many elements were fantastic but parts of the service experience fell far short of expectations for a luxury resort: Positives: - Location and surroundings are incredible - Food was high-quality, local and delicious (expect resort prices) - Housekeeping staff were excellent at maintaining our suite and grounds - Spa and Gym were well-equipped and not busy (mid-week) Negative: Several times service lacked follow-up. One small example: Upon arrival and unpacking we asked for extra hangers two times (over the course of 4+ hours). No one ever delivered them or told us they wouldn't be delivered - it was just left hanging. Another small example of lack of follow-up happened when we tried to reserve a custom dining experience (Chef's table) both at the front desk & at the dining room. No one ever got back to us telling us if it was reserved or not. Negative: The dining reservation system was never explained leaving us shut out of the best tables. A general reservation (two people at time X:XX) doesn't actually reserve a table. On the first two nights we had reservations and when showing up the best tables had "Reserved" signs but we were seated elsewhere. On the last day, I tried to make a reservation directly with the lunch hostess for that evening. She told us that tables on the beach were strictly "first come, first served". We arrived to dinner relatively early because of this policy yet when arriving the best beach tables were unoccupied and had "RESERVED" signs. Only then did the wait staff explain that they had recently implemented a new policy that if you request a specific table (as opposed to making a general dinner reservation) then you can apparently reserve that table.

Amazing experience!! Everything was just like I imagined!! This has been on my bucket list for 15 plus years! Everyone was so nice and helpful. The sunsets are an experience in itself. Food was top notch! This place didn't disappoint! Add this to your bucket list, you will not be disappointed.
