Palm Beach Shores Resort and Vacation Villas

I have stayed many times and this resort is wonderful.The ocean is right there and the pool is just perfect.There are so many things to do close by.

Very nice resort and island!

we just spent a week here (Oct 16-23,2010) in unit 411 and loved it!! From what we can tell there are only a few 2BR units per floor but if 1BR will do, it is great. Large bedroom with very large bathroom attached and towel exchange daily (they even come to you!). Kitchen is small with a apt size fridge and d/w, two burner stovetop but no oven. But...I did learn how to make pizza in the microwave/convection oven!

We also had trouble with the internet...it is ethernet cable not wireless, and had to call outside service tech support. Ultimately it was a bad modem which the resort exchanged in a very pleasant manner and the rest of the time the internet ran just fine.

Our unit faced the north outside viewing of the building. we overlooked a park and could easily see the ocean even from our chairs. not a problem at all.

Only one w/d on the entire floor which is not enough if you are needing to do laundry with kids along, but for the two of us i picked a wed eve and it was no problem.

the onsite restaurant had evening specials. we splurged on the 1.5 lb lobster for $19.95 with salad and baked potato!

We did not rent the full set of beach chairs although the first day we were told we have to. The rate was $30/day or $150/wk which we talked down to $100/wk. we offered to rent an umbrella for $10/day ($50/wk) if we could use our own chairs. then we went to Wings across the street and bought two fold up ones for $15 each. later in the week we saw lots of people of with their own chairs as well. Even if that was true for the private beach, the public one is literally steps away. But, we enjoyed our umbrella daily and I enjoy moving my chair to the waters edge so we had a great compromise.

There are daily activities as well onsite. the pool is adequate and very popular. I was surpised how many people were out using the pool chairs by 10am but I am a beach person so not a problem for me. you would have to get there early to get a chair by the pool even though there seems to be plenty. Nice hot tub and kiddie pool as well.

We hope to return.
