The pro is that the room is very nice and so spacious and clean; there’s great attention to detail too. The grounds are very pretty, but the property is just so blasé. The pool is clean but boring, the hot tub is like warm, and the ocean view room is a joke. You can barely see tiny glimpses of the ocean through palm branches.
The worst though is the attitude of the check in staff. We were at the Ritz Carlton for 5 night and chose to move hotel for our last night. Maybe it’s unfair to compare the Palms to the Ritz, but truly, they’d benefit from training in treating guests better. Honestly, for the price that the Palms is, I would chose the Ritz without question over the palms. We checked in at 9;30 AM. We were told that the room was not occupied and just needed to be cleaned. We kept checking back, and we were told it would be ready no later than 1 and hopefully before. At 12:45, when I checked at the front to see if after nearly 4 hours they had cleaned the room, I was told that they were in the process and was told in a sassy way that checkin is at 3. I responded calmly by saying, “ yes I understand that, but when you tell me that our room will be ready no later than 1, it reset our expectations. She seemed annoyed. We didn’t get into our room until after 2. Again, perhaps it’s not fair to compare the palms to the ritz, but for essentially the same price, the staff is so far superior and the quad experience is too!
