Palm Beach Shores Resort, Palm Beach Shores

Our 3rd time there. 1st two pretty good. I don't know if they have changed hands or what but it has gone way down hill. Ants in the unit, the unit was dirty, the a/c didn't work right, had to be worked on twice, left with wet carpet and huge fan on for days and condensation running down the walls. Patio door had no seal so hot air streaming in, when reported they just shrugged, one guy said both situations were "normal". Cabinet door off hinges, toilet seat ready to fall off, parking is a joke, satellite TV kept going off; loud, drunken, foul mouthed people in the pool spilling liquor in it. Pool was dirty and had mold around it. No maintenance elevators so workers were on the few they have with huge carts and hampers during the busy Saturday check in time and it takes forever for elevaotrs to get to your floor. Why didn't I asked to be moved? I don't think any of the rest of them would have been much better but believe me, in the future I will inspect every unit I check into before I accept it. I exchanged from a gold crown resort(through RCI) and this is in the book as a gold crown resort. What a joke. What did I like about it? NOTHING. Won't go there again. Wouldn't recommend it to my worst enemy.

I really liked the room and location. We had a nice size, 1 bedroom suite overlooking the ocean. Bathroom was spacious. Atmosphere around the pool was fantastic and tropical. The staff was polite and attentive. Setting on the beach was beautiful. The safe charge is only 1.00 per day. We were there with our young daughters and they loved the pools and birds. We would definetely go back.

It wasn't bad enough when I heard $7.00 a day to park with rent on a room safe, it got worse! This place is a nightmare for a Gold Crown rated Resort! Rooms with no oven with one washer & dryer on each floor made it a bad deal when they broke down. We left with wet clothes! Everything you have read is true! They try to hook you the minute you check-in by requiring you to go to another table to get the parking pass and then try to hook you in to a free meal and a presentation. Everyday they slipped something under my door but I ignored whatever the bait was. The pool is too small and adults fight over chairs. One man claimed he had 2 birthdays while riding the elevators. They would not allow us to use the carts at check-in as they have bellhops for everything. They will park your car or you can go to god knows where to find a parking spot. I used the valet and even at $2.00 every time they retrieved or parked my car left me feeling drained. This place will nickel and dime you to death. I wasted my time requesting an Ocean view`as I was staring at the parking lot all week. You drive through the run down part of town. The Resort is the nicest building in the zip code. The bed had me waking up in pain as they were worn-out. The outside balcony door did work and the air conditioner blew cold air. There...I said something nice. Sadly unless they modernize all the rooms with new beds, new sofas, ovens, washers and dryers, a new bigger pool, and an elevator that will move in a more timely manner this place needs to be avoided! I would steer clear of this Resort if you are used to real Gold Crown Resorts.

This resort is not family oriented at all. Swimming pool is very small for amount of people that get into it. The area around pool was small, people were drinking and smoking and eating in nearby bar and the air were not very fresh around this pool. No activities for kids in the pool at all. No water slides, no kids pool were 5-6 year olds can play. The shallow part of it was 3 feet which is too deep for kids. A little pool for babies was a side, but for toddlers it was too small and they couldn't play in it. This was big inconvenience for families with kids. Nobody cleans sand on the beach so eventually you can find anything there, but overall beach was ok and water is very clean and warm. Towels you can have as many as you want. Umbrellas on the beach are extra and chairs also. For parking and laundry service you have to pay extra also. Building is kind of old and furniture in the room also was outdated. Kitchen is very small with cook top with 2 small burners, no oven, very small dishwasher. Not enough kitchen utensils and pots are horrible quality, old, everything is getting burned if you try to cook something. Vacation was very mediocre in this resort.

Use these accomdations only as a "Last Resort" The complex has seen little renovation since it opened in 1970. Its well worn carpet, stained furnishings, tattered wall paper, smudged and dirty paint, inoperable patio doors, beds that are collapsed and leaning and overall lack of upkeep: This was frankly the worst place I have ever stayed. And I have managed to mistakenly book some dumps. The only thing in this place that is less than 25 years old was the staff. And that was relected in their people skills.

This is a very nice timeshare. Our second year there and everything was still good. The people are very helpful and having a private beach is great.

Just got back to MN. We had a wonderful stay at Palm Beach Shores. Everyone was just great from the valets to the girls in the tiki bar!!!!! What a beautiful setting!! My wife and I can't say enough. Our room was beautiful even though we were on the parking lot side our view was spectacular!! This was a trip we will cherish forever. THANKS for eveything!!

We have a two bed on the forth floor overlooking the ocean and the pool. we love it. Great beach. Not far away to the north is a great mall for all your shopping needs. Great marina, Golf.Fishing, you name it.

If you have kids under 12,, there are lots of activities (with parental supervision) that are available. Smaller resort, friendly staff, clean rooms. Furniture is a bit ratty but does not reduce the quality of the experience. There are local amenities such as basic food items but if you want to go shopping, you will need a car.

What a wonderful surprise. Very rarely do you actually get what you read about. We were so pleased with this resort that we are definately planning on a return visit next year. Everything you could want. Beautiful heated pool, large enough to accomodate a large group of people. Great scenery and ambiance, a wonderful staff of people who are committed to making your stay as comfortable as possible. Lounge pool side and listen to live music, the Tiki bar group walks around to take drink and food orders and then delivers it.. so you never even have to get up if you don't want to. The beach is beautiful and clean and there is always a list of activities if you decide you want something different. The evenings are wonderful and the new restraunt is great. You could enjoy the resort, or travel a short distance to 5 star restraunts,shopping and sightseeing. There really is so much to do in this area. Stop by the front desk to get the latest "list of things to do" in Palm Springs. The resort also has activities for the kids during the day. The accomodations are wonderful, and all new beds added to each room is wonderful.. You won't be disappointed.
