Recent Gulf Coast guest reviews

This was our 2nd summer family vacation stay at Palmilla Beach resort. It is a wonderful place to make fabulous family vacation memories. THIS house had a private pool which made swimming an extra special family-only time. Palmilla has 2 other fantastic community pools within the resort that are amazing!

Family of 5 and this place was spacious, clean, and comfortable . The condo Gave my young children ample space to run around. Great patio with a view of the beach. The paint selection is honestly the reason I chose the place. I wanted a joyful vacation and the yellow paint provided that. Nice and clean. The only blunder is the property is restrictive in not allowing golf carts. The whole island accommodates carts but this place does not. We had friends who stayed elsewhere and they were unable to visit our side of the beach because they couldn’t park their golf carts. Everyone on the phone customer service was pleasant about the situation, but the face to face interaction was a bit rude in telling us no golf carts are allowed when I asked for an additional parking permit for our friends to park safely without towing. They were not staying a night, just hanging out with us at the beach. Other than that— this place is great. I didn’t see anywhere in booking that golf carts would not be accommodated that is the only reason for a rating of 6 given.

Lots of space around the place. Garage, outside, etc. It would be a bit tight in the living room for all guests to hang out if it’s a large group but plenty of beds for everyone to be comfy. One of the nicest places we have stayed at and we have been going to SPI for several years. Stairs are steep so reconsider if you struggle with that. AC, WIFI, showers, variety of games, and kitchen equipment is spectacular! Loved that there was three showers for large groups to bathe after a long day at the beach!
