The 251-room Palms Hotel and Spa is a peaceful Miami Beach oasis with lush tropical gardens, private beach access, and a long list of on-site amenities including a lounger-lined pool and lovely spa. Stylish rooms are done up in breezy beach decor, with iPod docks, full minibars, and flat-screen TVs, and some suites even have balconies overlooking the sea. However, guests complain about the resort fee -- common among Miami Beach hotels -- that covers gym access, beach towels, lounge chairs, and umbrellas.
