I’ve stayed at this property too many times to recall over the past 6 years.Because of the rooftop pool scene it was known throughout PDC as one of the best spots in town,unfortunately not anymore.New Hotel Management and The Pool was a cemetery.The Palm as of now is no longer selling Day Passes,So the pool sadly is no longer the place to be.

I wouldn't recommend this property to anyone. Pictures and descriptions are very misleading. Pool and restaurant was a joke. View of ocean was misleading very crappie view just a sliver of ocean could be seen after you had the views of the top of all the other hotels and all their mechanical units. I only stayed 1 night instead of 3 they said they were going to reimburse me for the other 2, after i checked out they changed their mind and didn't reimburse me anything

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.

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.

This was our third time to playa this year. Me and my fiancé decided to try a new place and we definitely regretted. It could’ve been worst but honestly I would not stay again. We purchased breakfast and it was terrible, silverware was always dirty and honestly it was just a horrible set up. They’re better off just not offering it if they’re not going to put effort in the food and presentation. Pool hammock was cut off and the pool was just not very clean. They have these ghetto concrete plates around the pool and honestly that’s a liability. The noise was horrible. Water pressure didn’t exist, and water was so salty in the shower. Just a big disconnect with the pictures on the site and staff was not very friendly.

The property wasn't as nice as in the pictures. My room smelled of mold really bad. There wasn't a single blanket in the suites. The air conditioner was leaking water all over. Couches in living area were pretty dirty and I didn't really want to use them. This place is also NOT "Adults Only" There were 3 brats running all over the pool my first day there and staff didn't do anything about them. By brats, i mean they were throwing stuff at each other constantly and even throwing rocks off the roof to the busy pedestrian street below. Hotel staff was a hassel at check-in and added bogus fees to my bill. No towels for pool provided either. Bar service at the pool was nearly non-existent. This was all pretty disappointing considering i had the larger suite. This place has gone downhill quite a bit over last few years. Time to find somewhere new to stay-there are tons of better options than being treated like this.

My only complaint would be that the sofa was very stained. Other than that, it was great location and I love how the AC remained on even when you’re not there so when you come in, it’s super cold which I love because we went during summer ridiculously hot.

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.

The rooms we had was very large with a large living area and basic kitchen amenities. The bedroom was also large with a huge bathroom and plenty of storage space. The only shortfall was the rooftop pool and bar. The pool seemed neglected and was green on 2 days we were there. There were only 4 lounge chairs, 2 of which were not usable due to ripped bed and when we asked for an umbrella they finally found 1 that wasn't broken on the 3'rd try. We are hoping that the fact they were updating the bar roof that they realize things need to be addressed. We used to visit this rooftop pool when they had day passes several years ago and it was beautiful. I hope they bring it back to its glory days. We would return in the future as the staff was very nice and accomodating, the rooms were comfortable and the price point was very good. Great location!
