We stayed for a week at Island Palms and really enjoyed the quiet and relaxed lifestyle. John and Sheena are extremely friendly and were helpful in booking tours, airport connections etc. The Island Palms is an older complex and the out side is in need of a repaint. However the room was comfortable and well appointed with plenty of dishes... More

We had a family holiday back in the second week of November 2012 and let me say it is a place you can 'fell' what it means to slow down and relax.

With only 12 rooms, the salt chlorinated pool is never crowded, has a sail sun shade over the pool, which is surrounded by... More

We stayed at the resort in April 2012 (as a timeshare exchange). Location is great, resort itself is older, but the rooms have been refurbished and are plenty big enough, as well as very clean. It's quite serviceable for a family, but no, it's not glam. There's a few little things that give away the building's age, such as the... More

The unit was very comfortable with new furnishings, the air conditioning kept us comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed and More and the BBQ area downstairs was well equipped with even a fridge to keep things cold. Right opposite the beach and walking distance... More

Lovely place right at the beach. Just a short walk around the bay from the ferry. The appartment was extremely roomy, and had a well equipped kitchen plus almost 360 degrees view over ocean and mountains. Shops with atm just around the corner, also very helpful.
