Little Palm Island Resort & Spa

I have food allergies - so trusting the chef especially when there is only 1 restaurant for all meals is critical. IF YOU HAVE ANY FOOD ALLERGIES OR ARE A VEGAN DO NOT GO TO THIS RESORT! I Left covered in hives - and repeatedly asked what kind of flour was used for my "gluten free bread/pancakes". It took a live request, followed up by over 4 calls, and 4 days to receive the ingredient list - and one of my allergies was on the list, along with MILK - I am a vegan - I carry allergy cards, which were provided along with the list given to the resort prior to my visit. Each wait staff assured me the kitchen was aware of my dietary need. Clearly, they did not take is seriously. As for the food - it varied from some night excellent to other nights, not just my food was subpar, overheard tables loudly complaining while other commented on the raw lamb sent out to diners. It really depends on which chef is cooking - We stayed for 1 week, after 21 means - I can tell you, the difference between the chefs is very good to poor. If you stay here you will take your chances. The beach is not swim - able. The lovely white sand in the photo stops at the beach line and it is very shallow and full of rocks and seaweed - and sudden small deep drops - The spa is very small, while the massages are very nice, hard get an appointment. If it rains, there is nothing but the spa - well, bring a good book but know the rooms are poorly lit so you might have issues reading it in your room. Overall, I do not see this place as good value - considering the price, variation in food quality, and the lack of swim-able beach.

The staff members are kind and go out of their way to make sure you have a great time. The setting is Edenic and the food top notch. We found it difficult to leave and promised ourselves that we would return. Even my husband who has trouble sitting still, gave in and relaxed.

Overall, a positive experience, but I believe that how was the resort renovated after the hurricane that destroyed it, and how is the overall service, does not justify the increased prices which are very high. The staff, particularly in the restaurant, should better match the standard of the location.

This property has it all. The staff were incredible and the services were top notch. I couldn't imagine a better birthday get-a-way with my wife. Very Romantic and relaxing. In all my years of traveling, I have never experienced anything like Little Palm Island and my wife said it was her best birthday ever! Thank you to all especially Karen Marchand!!!

The service and room were amazing, and the food was delicious. It was a great place to have dinner on the beach. We felt so spoiled and removed from the rest of the world the whole time. The resort was very relaxing and romantic. Any pictures I took really do not do it justice. Thanks for an incredible stay.
