1.00We had high hopes for De Palm Island but were let down in many ways. First of all, it was advertised as "all inclusive" but they did not even provide towels unless you upgrade to a private cabana or VIP section. There was only a very minimal lunch buffet and the "cocktails" were frozen drinks out of a slushie machine and not even freshly made. The food options after that were essentially fried chicken tenders and a dry burger patty. The chairs were covered in bird poop and it was mostly kids running around. For the money there are far better alternatives on the island. We ended up paying extra for a taxi to take us home early back to our resort since it was honestly much nicer than anything at De Palm Island.
Enjoyable

1.00Overall experience was ok but it is definitely false advertising. We did not do cliff jumping only riding UTV . Wasn’t nothing me or my friends was expecting or that is expected to do!!! Very unfair and needs to be updated as soon as possible.
Great experience!

5.00Had a great time! Would definitely recommend for family and friends. Plenty to do and enjoy. 10/10 for sure.
Turtle private cabana was the BEST!!

5.00The private cabana was worth every penny. It was a relaxing space for me and my family with ample room. The wait staff was so kind and accommodating. They kept the drinks coming that I lost count. lol! Being right next to the flamingos was so cool. One suggestion would be netting around the cabana, trying to eat with all the birds was off putting. It also would be nice to have some form of safety tie/rope at the bottom of the stairs going into the water as a safety precaution in addition to the life vest. I would have loved to have gotten in the water more but I’m not a strong swimmer so I only went down to the last step. I really enjoyed the entire trip.
Definitely recommend!!!!...

5.00Definitely recommend!!!! Everything was everything. If you want to be where the flamingos are you have to pay for premium seating. But everything was worth the price 100%
Great for kids

5.00Took 2 teenagers they enjoyed the activities. A nice splashpark/ wildlife for younger kids. The food was surprisingly tasty and plentiful enjoyed the beer and frozen drinks at the bar but not the cocktails. If you are an adult I would recommend spending the money on something else. The beach area was small and rocky.
