6.4/10

My stay at Bay Of Palms was alright overall, with a few highlights and low points. The location was fantastic, conveniently close to a shopping centre, and the pool area was nice. However, the bathroom was quite cramped, and the noise from both inside and outside my room kept me awake at times. While I appreciated the friendly staff, the amenities felt a bit lacking, such as the minimal towels provided during my stay. It wasn't unpleasant, but there are definitely areas that need improvement.

Rooms

6.0

I found the room to be spacious and neat, with a comfy bed that gave me good sleep. However, the bathroom was too small, and the thin walls made it hard to ignore noise from neighbors. Plus, there were some cleanliness issues like hairs on the pillows and a musty odor.

Service

The staff at check-in were friendly and accommodating, but I didn't have much interaction with them during my stay. Their promptness at check-in was appreciated, but a bit more support during my time there would have been nice.

I loved the location, just a quick walk away from the Pines Shopping Centre. It was close enough to public transport and still provided a peaceful atmosphere, away from the busy ocean buzz.

There were some options for dining nearby, but I would have appreciated a cafe on-site for breakfast. It would have made things more convenient during my short stay.

The pool area was inviting and the grounds looked well-kept, but I did notice a lack of basic amenities, like more towels and complimentary soap in the bathroom. The laundry facilities were also a plus.
