Treacherous road
The Resort at Palmetto Bay is quite a drive from the main road. Also, the road you travel to reach the resort is very rustic. If you're renting a car, get an SUV or something suitable for rougher terrain.
negative:
In-room WiFi charge
There's a daily charge for in-room Wi-Fi, which is a little frustrating in this day and age.
negative:
Expensive taxi rides
If you plan to visit town frequently for dining and shopping or explore the island, definitely rent a car. West Bay is about a 30-minute drive away and taxis can get expensive.
