Little Palm Island Resort & Spa

A little piece of paradise, but a big experience in tranquility, serenity, and service. Best experience I've had at any 5 star resort; from arrival to departure. Room service several times a day, but not intrusive, intuitive. They seemed to anticipate needs and was very attentive in the background, evident in the exceptional service provided. There were several unanticipated surprises and considerate touches from the bungalow, to the pool, to dining, and other amenities. Staff throughout the resort was very friendly and went the extra mile in every way. The island feels like you are in The Maldives, immersed in a tropical repose where nature sings to you every morning and throughout the day. This was the only sound throughout the island, a big contrast from everyday life. Little Palm Island is an experience unlike any other! It's a small island, but a big, unforgettable experience!

I'm sad to be writing this review because our stay was amazing overall. After filling out the resort's survey on July 27, I gave them detailed feedback about an incident where my wife got hurt on the day we left. But several days went by and I didn't hear anything back, so I decided to share our story publicly. The island is gorgeous and almost all the staff we met were friendly, attentive, and professional. Except for one housekeeper during the day. When she asked if we wanted our room turned down, I said yes. But she seemed really unprofessional and wouldn't even talk to me when I tried to chat with her. It was disappointing, but it only happened once. We were also celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary while we were there. We had told Carol about it before we arrived, so we thought the resort would know. We didn't expect a big fuss, but it was surprising that no one said "Happy Anniversary" the whole time we were there. A small gesture like that would have made our celebration feel special. The bigger problem happened on the day we left. My wife fell down some stairs near the pool bar and hurt her knee and wrist. We really appreciate Misty and Roberto, who helped her right away with bandages and Neosporin. They were very kind. But what's been really disappointing is that no one from the resort has checked in with us since we got home. Given what happened and the kind of service you expect from a luxury resort, I thought they would at least send a nice email or call to ask how my wife is doing. Not hearing anything after reporting the incident has been surprising and sad. Luxury hospitality is not just about nice rooms and good service while you're there, but also about showing you care when something goes wrong. I want to say that the resort is beautiful and most of the staff are great. But it's the little things that make a difference. Like acknowledging a special occasion or checking in after an accident. These are the things that make a luxury resort feel truly special. And it's not just about the resort, it's about the people who work there and how they make you feel. We had a great time, but the lack of follow-up has left a bad taste in our mouths. I hope the resort will take our feedback seriously and make some changes. Because with a little more attention to detail and care, this resort could be truly amazing. The island is a great place to relax and unwind, and the staff are mostly very friendly. But if you're looking for a luxury resort that really cares about its guests, you might want to think twice. We were really looking forward to celebrating our anniversary in style, but it felt like just another day. And when my wife got hurt, it felt like no one really cared. That's not what you expect from a five-star resort. So, if you're thinking of staying here, just be aware that the service might not be as great as you expect. But the island is beautiful, and with a little bit of effort, this resort could be truly special. Our trip was really special, but a couple of things stuck out that weren't so great. We were celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary, and it was a bit of a letdown that nobody really acknowledged it. But what really got to us was what happened after my wife got hurt - nobody checked in to see how she was doing, and that seemed really thoughtless. For a place that's supposed to be as nice as this resort, we expected a lot more. These little things might seem small, but they made our whole experience feel kind of disappointing in the end. We had been looking forward to this trip for a long time, and it's sad that it didn't quite live up to what we had hoped for.

Fantastic place. Incredible customer service, seriously wonderful food, delicious wine selection with very knowledgeable sommelier on site. All staff members were outstanding. I highly recommend this resort. We will be back.

best experience. Super relaxing and the service was excellent. Highly recommended if you are looking to disconnect and relax. Very romantic also.

Our second visit to the island was as great as the first. Overall, the experience is just what you would expect from being on a private island. The staff is attentive and courteous. The accommodations are beautiful and the suites are private. This is our favorite place to visit to truly "unwind" from our hectic, everyday lives. Everything shuts down in the evenings and they are quiet and serene. You will interact with nature and feel refreshed upon leaving.
