    attentive staff
    limited parking
    musty towels

    The staff’s kindness and attentiveness were exceptional.

    Parking at Goble Palms was quite challenging due to limited space, and the steep incline made it a struggle to get in and out. Additionally, the shower had a leak that made the bathroom area dangerously slippery. I also noticed the towels in my room were in poor condition, giving off a musty smell which detracted from my overall experience.

    A cozy stay with unmatched warmth

    From the moment we arrived, Goodman’s kindness shone through, making our long journey worthwhile. The decor is splendid, and breakfast on the terrace was a delightful highlight.

    The shared porch led to some noise disturbances at night, which could disrupt a peaceful rest. Additionally, parking was a bit tricky, with limited spots available.

    tropical retreat
    hidden gem
    wifi issue

    What a lovely find! My room was like a tropical retreat, and the layout made it feel like a hidden gem. The pool area was the cherry on top for leisurely afternoons.

    I swear I heard a few frogs auditioning for a band at night! Also, more WiFi would be fab—guess I'm not quite ready to go completely off-grid.
