5.00We had a wonderful time. We tried everything they had to offer. My child is 5 years old and was able to reach the big boy water slide. He spent most of his time in the small area. He loved the flamingos, swam in the ocean and ate all the fries he could ever want. 10/10

My Birthday at De Palm Island
Letishia C,Mar 30, 2026
- Review from Viator
5.00I went for my Birthday and it was a great experience. The Flamingos and turtles were too cool nice added touch. The buffet food could have been better but the food at the bar was great I enjoyed the burgers and de palm fries!! My children had a blast they went on all the slides even the body drop one!!! The beach was a bit rocky but other than that Id give palm island two thumbs up. We got lost trying to find the ferry terminal so please give yourself more than enough time to get there, so you can catch the very first ferry over to the island. Thank Viator!!!
Amazing Snorkeling

5.00My husband and I visited on March 22, 2026. We are beginner snorkelers and not strong swimmers. This was perfect for us! You snorkel from the beach and you can see beautiful fish in water that’s not over your head. The included buffet wasn’t great.
Incredible Day in Paradise!

5.00This excursion was the highlight of our trip, offering crystal-clear turquoise waters and pristine, soft sand. The staff was friendly and professional. You could snorkel, ride the banana boat however many times you wanted, soak up sun on the beach, complete the water obstacle course until as many times as your heart desired. It was all inclusive with food and drink and we all enjoyed. This experience exceeded all of our expectation. My family and I highly recommended and would do it again!
Make sure your shuttle is provided

3.00We kept asking for a shuttle like the tour said we would get. We kept getting told we had to take a taxi. It cost us $70 round trip because we kept getting misinformed intentionally. It was not only us this happened to.
Very cool experience with flamingos

5.00We had a wonderful experience; the ferry was a nice ride. All staff were extremely helpful and friendly. We really enjoyed our time at the private beach with the up close flamingo experience. We also liked the water park time with our 1 year old daughter- she seemed happier there than at all the beaches we visited. I highly recommend the private beach with VIP palapa if you want a special experience and can afford it.
I found the island with options...
OTAVIO O,Mar 12, 2026
- Review from Viator
5.00I found the island with options for everyone. Children's pool, toboggan, snorkeling and interaction with the flamingos. I found the meals and drinks served also very delicious. Both lunch and snack. It is an excellent tour option for those who are not in an all inclusive resort.
