Was great experience between the snorkeling and other activities available. Was able to get great pictures while snorkeling of many different species of fish.
Not worth the money

I am writing to share feedback regarding our recent visit. While our private cabana experience was enjoyable, the rest of the trip fell short of expectations.On the positive side, the cabana was comfortable, the complimentary champagne was a nice touch, and we loved the direct sea access and flamingo interactions. However, several major issues impacted our day. The food quality was poor for the price, and the self-serve buffet lacked adequate hand-washing or sanitizing stations. Additionally, the staff generally lacked hospitality, the mixed drinks were incredibly weak, and the provided snorkel gear was outdated and uncomfortable. A power outage during our visit also caused all drink and utility services to come to a standstill.The wildlife and cabana amenities were the only saving graces of our four-hour stay. I hope you will address these service, hygiene, and equipment issues for future guests.

We mixed up dates on booking. Somehow our cabana date was correct (for December 2026) but our admission tickets were listed incorrectly (July 2026). I emailed and within minutes received a response. The situation was reconciled and new ticekts were sent. All of this was completed within minutes and without any headache on my end. We have not yet gone to De Palm Private island but the customer service is outstanding.
Fun day!

This was a fun experience for me. I was able to snorkel and ride the banana boat! We had burgers, chicken tenders, beer and mixed drinks which were good. The lounge chairs were very close to each other as we were unable to sit in the premier section. The beach is small and very rocky. You definitely need water shoes to walk in the water. We saw the flamingos and turtles too. It was fun. We left early after three hours, which was not a problem. The boat took us back and we caught a cab.
Not as nice as I thought

The chair areas are too crowded. You are literally on top on the person next to you. The water is very rock and can be dangerous. The description did not mention all the rocks on the beach. No towels are provided . Not really worth going. I was a bit disappointed The only nice thing was the food and drink availability.
It's a nice day trip. ...

It's a nice day trip. Nothing is spectacular but it's nice. Except the beach, it is very rocky. The beach at our hotel was much better. The one thing you should know is they send your pickup time the morning of which made us late. We thought we were being picked up at 10 and they switched at 8:30 am to 925 am
Good to bring your own...

De Palm Island was a let down. As soon as we got off the bus, we were greeted with signs posted saying the water slides were down and they only found out that morning so they were able to let anyone know. The flamingo cove wasn’t worth paying extra for, the flamingos were loud and the kids in the cove were terrorizing them as their parents just watched. We did get two bottles of prosecco though. Coral cove wasn’t worth paying extra either as it’s basically the same view you get with general admission, but you sectioned off with numbered chairs and the drink station is close by. There also were flamingos in Coral cove as well. Pro tip, if you want to do any of the activities that are actually operating, you need to sign up as soon as you get to the island. If not you’ll experience what we didn’t and get told everything is booked up. So in a nut shell, we paid over $900 for three people to do what we could’ve done at our resort with better food selection. Oh and the water isn’t even deep enough to swim and there are stones covering the ocean floor so it would be best to wear water shoes.

As a solo traveler, it was alright. As it’s a small island, theres not much to do. Food was ok, not really the best. Totally would recommend for family and kids. Got picked up from the hotel, and drop off to dock, and its a 2-3 min boat ride to the island, fast and easy.
