What guests think

White Elephant Palm Beach earns high marks for warm, attentive staff, clean and stylish rooms, and thoughtful extras like house cars, bikes, and beach setup, with a walkable location that suits both quick getaways and longer stays.

Many appreciate the complimentary local car service, bikes, and beach setup, which add convenience without a resort footprint. Guestrooms are well designed and comfortable, with balconies or patios in some. Common drawbacks include a small, street-adjacent pool, occasional dining service issues or weak cocktails, and a few notes about thin walls, slow A/C, or unsecured Wi‑Fi. Best for travelers seeking an intimate, in-town stay over a full-scale beachfront resort.

Access to car or driver to take you to close by areas or you can jump on the bikes provided. The staff was very helpful. Lola 41 restaurant on site was excellent!

Walls were paper thin so it’s easy to wake up from neighbors performing normal activities at night. Hotel was “too crowded” and unable to accommodate early check-in or late check-out. Pool is underwhelming and not meant for swimming. Beach is a 10-minute walk or car ride away. Staff was friendly but inflexible, overall.

Wow, oh wow! You should definitely stay here! I stay in about 20 or more high end hotels, every year, for year, so when I comes to assessing a great hotel… I definitely feel confident about my ability to accurately review high end properties! The key to having an amazing stay is amazing staff. Everyone, & I mean everyone.. was polite, positive, warm, & welcoming! This started before I even got to the hotel. The concierge reached out to me before my arrival & asked if I needed any assistance. She emailed different ideas, & things I could do before my check in! The property is immaculate. The style of the lobby is so high end, chic, & cool. The places oozes elegance! In fact I wish I would have spent more money on a more expensive room, just so I could see how much better this place actually gets. There are so many little details that have been thought of in this property, I actually blew me away! Mimosas upon arrival, afternoon, wine & cheese, a small bottle of mosquito repellent inside the rooms (which is such a great idea to include), bikes to use, & a brand new BMW 7 series which can take you 1&1/2 mile radius of the hotel free of charge! You guys have really stolen my heart. The hotel is within walking distance of the beach, coffee shops, ice cream shops, & museums. My room had a large beautiful balcony! The only thing that is bad here, are the cocktails. The bartenders couldn’t make a good cocktail to save there lives. So I had to go to the Ben Hotel for great drinks

We only stayed at the White Elephant for one night but the staff was very friendly, the facilities were very clean and lush. The room was much larger than we anticipated and there were several nice touches . They left a plate of chocolate truffles when they found out we were celebrating our anniversary and they shuttled us to our dinner reservation off site. I also loved that they had a peloton in their gym. I had an issue with the bike and went to the front desk and they had maintenance there in 5 minutes! Overall we were very happy with our stay!

White Elephant is a fantastic place to stay. All the details are so thought out and well done. The staff is incredible- Stephany and Dillon were so welcoming and upgraded our room when we told them we were celebrating our engagement. The restaurant, Lola41 was delicious. Since this is not on the beach, the staff drives you there and sets your chairs and umbrella up and provides you a beach bag with towels and waters and they pick you up when you are ready to go back. Jeff and Damian were also great and attentive. Can’t say enough amazing things about this place and we cannot wait for our next visit.

We had an amazing time at the White Elephant. Junior, Sebastian, and Christian were amazing valet / concierge drivers. They do a beach chair / umbrella set up that was so convenient! Gabi got us an amazing last minute reservation at Buccan that was the best meal we had. Our room was perfectly designed and very clean. It was a perfect long weekend hotel!

The bathroom was also very well laid out with double sinks and a private water closet… rare even in many fine hotels. The wonderful patio was perfect for relaxing. Lola 41, the main restaurant and bar was excellent. This hotel is a gem and we’ll be back again soon!
