The employees in the hotel were very nice. We got to enjoy 7 days in this property. The only thing I do not like was they did not have enough alcohol at the bar in the rooftop.

This place is unique- 2 blocks from the beach is great. The garden is 4/5 stars, beautiful lush greens, nice seating areas, very cool and well maintained. The roof top pool and bar is nice- 3.5/5 stars, good drinks, nice pool, can see the ocean, tables for the "bar tops" crappy, but really enjoyed the service here. The rooms- crap 2/5 stars and being generous. Clean but old, basic, needs up keep, the furiture on the private balcony terrace needs tossed- completely falling apart, the kitchen is crap, and the cupboarss and tables are old wood that needs replaced. No rugs no decorations. Very meh. For us the stay was fine, i drank wine and read my book in the garden, and we had nice sunset cocktails at the roof pool (the mural art work is awesome). Room was a disappointment, but worked.

It's a convenient location since is close to 5th Avenue. The staff was always nice. Parking is very small. The hotel needs more maintenance. Our room curtains were in bad shape. And if you light sleep, you may have more trouble to sleep since can hear the noise from the 5th Avenue.

Bad service and scam
SEUNGHYUN, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

I initially booked a week stay at the Palm and received a warm welcome from reception on arrival. I had booked a loft room which was large for one person and it had a lovely balcony overlooking Calle 8th and the corner of 5th which was great for people watching. The hotel has an amazing location next to all the bars and shops on 5th but if you’re a light sleeper or enjoy an early be warned you may want to bring ear plugs as it gets quite noisy with music blasting from surrounding bars and hotels and the music from the palm’s own rooftop. The housekeeping were amazing the room was spotlessly clean throughout my stay, however cleaning times varied each day it could be 11am or 2pm and my room was not cleaned on the final day as I asked them to come back a bit later which they didn’t. The Palm has a lovely upstairs pool area with bar, restaurant and great views looking out to the ocean, the service is ok and staff could have been friendlier. The palm is rated as a four star hotel but I can’t quite agree with this rating for the following reasons: - bed linen had cigarette holes in it - bath towels were small and all stained - beach towels were not proper towels and made of a cheap cloth - coffee grounds in my room were not given for all of my stay - the pool was filled with dead flies & needed more regular cleaning. Overall a very pleasant stay but management needs to work on attention to detail for a perfect stay.

2/10 Poor

The hotel is old, dose not look anything like the picture. We had to change room because the order was coming out from the shower to the room. We couldn’t get extra towels or pillows they told us we all could get one towel per day. The towels are old. We had a light flight did ask if we could stay for 3 to 4 hours more which would but every time new person was telling us a different price how much we have to pay I guess everyone is trying to make some money. The only good thing about this hotel was the location everything else I would never stay or recommend this hotel to anybody.
Barbara, 4-night trip

2/10 Poor

Cant tell if we were terribly unlucky or if this property is just how we experienced it. We checked in late and when to the hotel and the toilet was already clogged and nearly overflowing and one towel was on the floor. We called the front desk to see if we could get the toilet unclogged and an extra towel but the reception desk apologized that they did not leave the maintenance key behind for him to get a plunger but we were free to use the public stalls downstairs any time and they don’t have anymore clean towels for the day. We were a little put off but hey, that’s not his fault and he was apologetic so we used the public restroom, shared the towel to shower and went to bed. The next morning we left early for an excursion and asked the front desk to have someone come and plunge and leave towels for when we return. We returned late at night. Toilet still clogged and no new towels. We went to ask about it and the girl at the reception this time was not as polite. Maybe she was overwhelmed with stuff going on as she was running around and it took her a few minutes to get to us. We asked her about the plunger and the towels and she said her colleagues were not there and could not plunge the toilet. My boyfriend asked for a plunger for him to do it and she said she did not have one and no clean towels for the 2nd night. She said someone can come the next morning, we checked out at 11 and we never got to use our own toilet.
