Hello -
This is a late reply to your message about The Palms, but I was just staying there from the 11th to the 21st! My parents own two of the units! There are 13 total and it's a great place. You don't have to walk through to the beach anymore to get to it, there is an entrance off the street now. (Hopefully that won't change again. . .). You should be confident in a decision to stay there. The staff will make you feel very welcome, they can get almost any request filled and the fact that Ramon's is right next door really is an asset! We spend a lot of time over there. If you have any questions for them, please just send them off an e-mail:
[email protected] and you should get an answer quickly. I know that I am plugging for them, but you really would enjoy a stay there. Every comfort of home. . .with a much better view of the barrier reef!
Good luck in whatever you do,
Jen Kruman
