Exuma Palms

Amazon staff Great service Good location Broken internet - on & off

If you are on a budget, this is a good place to rest at night while you are out sightseeing. This is not a luxury resort, nor is this a bed and breakfast. The hotel is nestled directly on the beach and the views are spectacular. The hotel staff are friendly and always have a smile to share.

The hotel is located away from restaurants and other attractions so you need taxi or a car. The location is quite nice in that the ocean is pretty and the beach great with ocean views that are stunning. However, the hotel is poorly maintained, needs improvement both inside and out. The restaurant is your main choice for food which is marginal and dark and also serves as a bar. Best not to do it.

The staff went out of there way to make us feel welcome. The cooked a vegan meal for me and tended to our every need

The hotel is very isolated. We checked in at 1:30pm and had no water until 5:00pm. Manager did offer to buy us dinner. We opted for breakfast instead which was quite lovely. There is a restaurant but it has a very limited menu. In fact we did not see a menu at all. There was a coffee maker in the room, but no coffee. We requested some and they did not have any to give us. No staff in restaurant until 8:00 am, so could not get any coffee until then. Views were stunning though.

When we arrived at the property, we were a little taken aback by how poorly the exterior looked. It appeared run down, in need of paint at the very least and just....sad. When we entered the lobby area, it looked like there could be some room for hope, as it is evident that they have done some recent upgrades, which was really nice to see. We greeted the woman at the front desk letting her know we were there to check in. We also realized we were a little early, so if the room wasn't ready we totally understood. She asks us to wait a few minutes, so we take that time to look around the restaurant/bar and the beach. The restaurant/bar area was also recently upgraded, and looked like it was coming along. The beach....well, I am not sure where the photos for the profile pics were taken, but the beach did not look like that at all. The beach was small...I mean, like could only put about 4 chairs out there and then there was a drop off to the ocean. The stairs leading down to the shore were broken, so you couldn't get down there. Feeling a little discouraged, we walked back into the lobby where we were intercepted by the same woman from the front desk who proceeded to inform us that they didn't have our room available. Assuming she meant that it wasn't ready yet since we were a bit early, I asked for that clarification. She responded with a 'No, we just don't have any king rooms available, at all". Ummm...what? We ended up leaving the property and staying elsewhere

I wont be back- but I loved Exuma- lets start with the Pros: Room-very nice comfy beds and linens. bathroom ok. Great view. Air conditioner in the room, Beach is absolutely stunning and very private...hardly see anyone else on the beach. Beautiful sand and water steps away from hotel. Cons: -SAND FLIES !! please take repellent!!! the food-Club YOLO Grill and Hookah Bar (the worst) food overpriced- no menu- everything fried- and spicy, not matter what you order, they will bring the food they want.- again everything fried with the same oil. Had breakfast twice, and you have to wait forever to order, and you are lucky if the cook/chef shows up- . Outdoor space/seating was in poor conditions. WiFi in the lobby only,,,very bad. You need a rental car to do most things. Bathroom shower pressure is very weak.

I would not recommend this place sucks.

Run down facility. No restaurant nearby. Bar food only. No hot water.
