We arranged a three generation stay at the Palms, and it exceeded our expectations. There was a great many things that we liked about The Palms-the quality of the villas, the swimming pool and beach (both perfect for little children), the complimentary breakfasts, and the location. However, what was most striking was the quality of the staff. Everybody we interacted with was consistently pleasant and helpful, and patient with children. This included the people who helped set up at the beach and the pool, the guys who distributed towels, the woman who cleaned our rooms, the people at the front desk/concierge, and the restaurant staff. While everybody was lovely I want to single out Jane, who was a hostess, seated us for breakfast each morning, and made sure the smallest child was well taken care of. But that level of service was shown by everybody we interacted with, throughout our stay.
There are a couple of things to consider to make the property even more perfect. There are a lot of choices at breakfast, and it would be good if they offered plain or greek yogurt along with flavored sweetened yogurts-they had plain yogurt but we had to ask for it. Second, The Palms has a surprisingly well equipped fitness center/gym, which is well used. As a result, it's actually too small for the number of people who want to use it in the morning. Add more floor space for stretching or other workout routines.
All told, a great vacation
