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.
