Spa Hotels & Resorts in Palmetto from NZ$196

"Solid stay. But inconvenienced by the filming of The Statement while we were there. Had no prior notification or agreement to such conditions. Pros: -beautiful property and private access beach -excellent restaurant and service at the Society Table -Great pool (the one we had access to; other was closed due to above) minus one point below -Fitness center and classes -Kid friendly -housekeeping top notch -Variety of stores-ice cream/candy store was a hit with my kids Cons -smallish rooms and bathrooms -lax rules regarding poolside eating/drinking (depends on your perspective) but swimming in a pool with spilt frozen drinks and greasy fingers from chicken tenders and fries isn’t exactly my idea of a refreshing pool -slow / limited elevators Would I recommend? Yes but make sure there’s no special events such as above going on. "

"The bathroom door got stuck and wont close or open as soon as I entered the room. Had to call maintenance to get it fixed, even after that the door wouldn't close properly and my kid had a hard time closing it for the reminder of the vacation. Definitely not a 4 star hotel with the amenities, there is no exhaust in the bath and the pipes are flimsy, the towel holder broke, not enough lighting in the room, checked another room and there was an extra tall table lamp which wasn't there for whatever reason in my room. Positives were the housekeeping and maintenance were prompt with their services and cleaning was done daily. Apart from that, lots of areas for improvement and isnt worth the cost. "

"we had an amazing experience, such a gem! the property was really well maintained & the staff was incredibly kind. it was the perfect beach getaway! photos don’t do it justice. only thing I would critique was the beds could have been comfier, but it wouldn’t prevent me from coming back for the price we paid. "

"So and so "

"Not much of a breakfast. Cheap and not cheerful. The coffee is awful. I love a coffee in the morning but this was hot water, well warm, with a few sprinkles of coffee. They run out of hot water to make tea and Swiss Miss hit chocolate mix. Don’t make your decision on their fake breakfast. Pool bar staff absolutely delightful. "

"Clean, excellent service , safe and kid friendly!"

"Amenities were great. Room is a little small. Called the desk for a couple of different things and they never brought them up. Cleaning person skipped our room and after they said they were coming back to clean. "

"The good: staff was over the top friendly, cheerful, helpful, couldn’t do enough for you. The restaurant Drift is amazing. Bar is great, food is excellent, service above and beyond. The not so good: Beach chairs are reserved at 7am when they open but aren’t physically sat in until 10:30-11:00. We got to the beach at 8:30 and got chairs but not along the waters edge while we watched the chairs in front of us sitting empty for 3 hours. Doesn’t seem right or fair to me. Our room was immaculate however we were given a 1st floor standard room with no view - shame on me for using Hotels.com and not understanding which building my room was in. We were in the older building and it was noisy as the occupants above us were stomping around late into the night. Always ask for the NEW tower when booking a room. Our room was equipped with a full kitchen which was a surprise but of no use to us for a one night stay. It’s a fantastic family oriented resort and I highly recommend it for families with young children. "
