Hotel The Palms Turks and Caicos (Providenciales, Turks and Caicos Islands)

As guests stated, the rooms are fairly spacious and the kitchenettes came in quite handy, because they have everything you might need to cook your own meals in order to cut down on having to eat out all the time.

Not only is the hotel located in a wonderful area directly on the beach with its clear, calm waters and beautiful sand and in walking distance of many great restaurants, but many guests also noted how beautiful the landscaped grounds are.

Guests appreciated the fact that they had a variety of amenities at their disposal like the fitness center, pool, hot tub and on-site parking. They also enjoyed being able to get in-room massages from the popular nearby spa.

While the hotel appears quite lovely, several guests pointed out that all in all, it appears to be quite overpriced for the quality you receive. This is particularly apparent when looking at the many on-site shops and the dining options. Guests noted that the restaurant as well as room service are not much to rave about, as the quality of food isn't the best and service is very slow and non-attentive. Furthermore, they reported that the drinks at the bar and restaurant are also highly overpriced even though their taste appears to be watered down and not in relation to the prices.

Guests noted that even though officially not allowed, the entire staff seems to expect gratuitous tips and has no problem indicating so even though there is an automatic service charge added to your bill.

As guests noted, the interior and exterior could use some new paint, and the appliances in the rooms are starting to act up as well.
