Little Palm Island Resort & Spa

A beautiful hidden gem tucked away among the Florida Keys, Little Palm Island Resort & Spa exceeded our expectations from the very moment we arrived at the Welcome Center. The staff was warm, attentive, and went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. Every personal touch made us feel genuinely cared for and completely at home. Our suite was stunning and thoughtfully designed. Although it initially didn’t include any gin or tea service, the staff responded to our request immediately — within the hour, everything we asked for was delivered with a smile. The food was absolutely delicious, and the cocktails were exceptional — every meal felt like a special occasion. Throughout our stay, every team member we encountered greeted us with a friendly hello and a sincere interest in how we were enjoying our time on the island. We were celebrating our anniversary, and the staff went out of their way to make it extra special, offering warm wishes and thoughtful gestures that made us feel truly celebrated. Little Palm Island is pure paradise — serene, intimate, and perfectly indulgent. We can’t wait to return.

Totally our fault for most of the missing stars! The HEAT in this little paradise was at 106 degrees with humidity in high 90’s. We walked out of our room on first full day and I couldn’t breathe the heat was so heavy. Tried the under an umbrella, in the hot pool where I burnt my hands on the metal pool stair rails. I praise and am in awe of you southerners who can take this heat. We live in Southern California. It’s hot, I went to University in Arizona, it could get to 120 and I could survive. This kind of heat is a whole new thing. Ok. In addition, rain which was fine with us, it comes in and goes away. There is zero air conditioning anywhere except the casitas. I can’t eat or drink in that smothering heat so we took almost every meal in our casita. Not what I had in mind. Can’t see out the windows because they are fogged up by heat, rain and air conditioning. Food OUTSTANDING!!!! After 3 days of zero housekeeping and no plate pick up things got a bit gross. We are afternoon people there- we tried to do something like sweat under the cover of the lovely but in need of upgrading day beds in ocean. We apparently were missing housekeeping- our fault- so called and said desperate situation need room totally cleaned. My husband tripped and dropped our tray of plates in our room and it just sat there. Even after we called 3 hours later still the same. I also realized they do not use vacuum cleaners, probably for the noise, but thoroughly impractical to clean. The people who work there are the nicest, well trained, well mannered group. They were fabulous. In the end we would go back January- April. I’m sure it’s beautiful then. Didn’t get a chance to do any water adventures which is all I wanted to do. We love Turtle Island in Fiji and this had some of the same “Fairy tale” aspects to it. It’s just don’t leave the goodbye card in our room as we enter on the first day. If you go for fairytale everything has to be done perfectly or it all fails. LOVE THE PEOPLE! Thank you for trying. Long trek for CA people so make sure you choose the right dates. Again this was a timing issue on our part- an expensive lesson to be sure

The whole experience of our stay at little palm island was incredible, the atmosphere was relaxed and friendly, the staff were amazing. The rooms were very clean as was the resort throughout. Although this was an expensive holiday it was to celebrate my wife's 70th birthday and well worth the money

Beautiful, isolated, private. All the attributes we were looking for in our anniversary escape. The service was A+, our time at the spa was relaxing and the food did not disappoint during any meal. Take us back!!!

Little Palm Island is a bucket list worthy destination. If you require 24/7 high octane things to do, stay home ;-) This resort is the epitome of providing five star rest and relaxation. Prepare to feel the stress disappear.
