About Little Palm Island Resort & Spa
Travellers really looking to get away from it all should feel in paradise at Little Palm Island Resort & Spa in the Florida Keys. Accessible only by boat or plane, this small five-acre private islet, a favourite hang-out for celebrities and even presidents, has a no-phones, children and TV policy.
The thirty air-conditioned thatched-roof bungalow suites overlook the ocean and possess their own private deck and hot tub. Other luxury features include custom-made king-sized beds with romantic "butterfly" netting.
Guests can, instead of logging-on, disconnect in the resort’s outdoor pool or spa with its range of treatments, including massages and ritual baths. Little Palm Island Resort & Spa also hosts a gym, boutique and a common area – The Great Room.
Guests can enjoy gourmet cuisine and outdoor candlelit dinners on the beach or on the restaurant’s terrace, with private dinners in romantic spots and in-room dining available.
Key West International Airport is about 40 kilometres away with the Looe Key Reef Dive Center about two kilometres from the resort.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Expensive all round
This was by far the most common complaint. Guests said that not only were the rooms expensive, but the extras were as well. In some guests views the extras were absurdly expensive and they felt that the resort was taking advantage of them.
negative:
No beach or sea swimming
A number of guests mentioned that there really wasn’t a beach to speak of, and also nowhere really to swim in the sea. It did not completely fit with their idea of a tropical paradise.
negative:
Décor just a little dated
A few guests felt that the décor wasn’t quite up to scratch, considering this is very much a luxury resort. They felt the room could do with a refresh.
