Sabal Palms Inn

Pros: This location is steps away from the beach, and it’s not crowded at all! Chairs are available on a first-come first-serve basis, and some were available every time we needed them. The heated pool/spa was really nice to have. This is very close to great restaurants like Cafe Riviera and Paradise Grille. Cons: The room wasn’t very clean. We had to ask for a change in pillowcases upon arrival because there were stains on every pillowcase. The housekeeping guy replaced them and made a comment that he only saw 1 stain. The shower was very dirty but after the comment about the pillowcases, I didn’t want to ask about the shower. We ended up going to Walmart and buying cleaning supplies. I understand having a place right next to the beach means sand is going to be everywhere, but it didn’t look like the shower was scrubbed at all. The deadbolt doesn’t lock and having just the handle lock didn’t feel super secure. The bathroom is very humid even without running the shower. Be prepared to not have any countertop space as the sink is just a pedestal sink, and the bathroom is very close quarters. We ended up using the kitchen table for toiletries. All in all, while the proximity to the beach is fantastic, I personally don’t think the cost per night is worth it considering there isn’t a whole lot to do in Pass-a-Grille.

Bikes complimentary. They had 1 paddleboard but we were not able to use it. Staff was very helpful. Great location, beach right across the street. Beach clean, establishments around were nice. Highly recommend this place

Hotel. Com did a lousy job not letting me know where to get the keys to our room

Things I loved about staying at Sabal Palm- the proximity to the beach, kindness of staff, bikes, beach supplies- chairs, umbrellas, etc., having a laundry facility, and proximity to other beaches and restaurants. Things not so top notch- bath towels- hand towels- washcloths dingy white and warn out. These really should be replaced. After first two days, washcloths were not replaced with fresh towels.(nit picky I know.) Some of the walls had stain marks - could use a Mr Clean sponge. The pictures in the bathroom had a film of old dust - not wiped down as a part of bathroom cleaning. There was dirt behind the bathroom faucet- stayed there the entire trip. A bit more attention to detail in cleaning would go a long way.

The beach was across the street, wish we could stay longer.
