    Great Spot

    Great spot for the night, traveling from Florida Keys to New Jersey. Quiet, clean and comfy beds. Clean dog area and good service. We will be back.

    Spacious, clean, beautiful room with sliding glass doors out to potty area or to walk around. There is even a great boarding doggy daycare nearby in case the neighbor has a bark-off with your kids, ha ha.

    Love this hotel

    Nice ground-floor rooms/suites for guests with pets. No carpet in room and nice green space outside.

    It was ok

    We did not receive the dog goody bag at check in. There were quite a few times when we would go to walk our dogs (leashed) and other dogs would not be on a leash. There’s no “curfew” so we heard the doors slamming and the elevator being in use until 3am (all dog friendly rooms are on first floor in building b) so dogs kept waking up startled and of course, we did as well. Only real positives were the room was clean and large area for dogs to use.

    Won't stay again

    The rooms were okay, however, they charge a resort fee for something that is just a hotel. Once we checked out, there was another charge that we were not told of. We stayed with a pet and there were no damages done by said pet. The floors were so dirty they turned your feet black and the upkeep was lacking.

    Outstanding

    I thought we had it good at our previous hotel - the one that couldn’t accommodate us for an extra couple
    of days. We wish we had stayed here the entire time. Check-in without incident, 2 bones with a welcome letter for our pups. Standard and not run down room which is typical for “dog friendly” rooms for us. Great experience and great location. Tucked back from the busy street which lowers the noise.

    Palmera inn and suites

    Very convenient with the dogs. I could let my little dog out through the sliding glass door on the ground level. Rooms were very clean and spacious. Conveniently located to all the places we visited while on the island.

    Would not choose it

    Difficult and prolonged check-in. A/C in registration building was out. Assigned a suite in a building that we later read was not for dogs. My husband was constantly worrying that we would be kicked out!!!!

    Just Okay

    Rooms are spacious and clean. The kitchen area and the direct walkout from the room make it easy for traveling with a dog. However, walls are very thin and it is very noisy. Despite not supposed to be leaving dogs unattended in your room, many people did causing dogs to bark constantly almost everyday and night we were there. There were also many people walking and letting dogs out off leash. Dogs are not allowed in the main lobby area at all and the staff could definitely be a little more friendly. Daily housekeeping is not included, so if you need towels you have to get them from the front desk and you have to take out your own trash. Outside trash cans were constantly overflowing causing trash to be blown around all over the parking lot. Also, be aware if you're booking your room on Bring Fido because not all the rooms available to book are pet friendly, I initially booked a loft room which was not pet friendly, but was luckily able to secure the correct room type last minute. Overall for the price and the amount of other options on Hilton Head I'd probably choose somewhere else, but if you need a place with last minute availability the Palmera would be okay enough.

    Perfect for bringing your dogs!

    This hotel is beautiful and great for dogs and their humans. All dog-friendly rooms are on the first floor with easy access to nice dog walk area (keep a towel by the door as dogs can bring in some dirt). No carpet in rooms which is nice. Hotel is centrally located on the island. Dogs are given a treat and tag for the door at check-in. My shelties loved it!

    Very Dog Friendly

    We were given treats upon check in for our Cockapoo, so nice. My husband and I have stayed here before, but it was years ago before we were married, it was under different management. Place has been renamed and remodeled which is great. Room was perfect, no carpet which was great for having a dog. Plenty of places for our girl to lounge in the room and place her bed where she felt comfortable. Poop bag sites in the back of the building. Our balcony lead right out to the back, which is great for early morning walks. Tons of dogs staying here during our stay. My only complaint was lack of grass. The back area and sides are all sand and mud. We tracked in so much dirty after every walk, I washed my dogs feet and legs after every potty trip.

    Great place

    All dogs stay on the first floor. Great outdoor place for potty breaks and walking. The rooms are very comfortable and clean. Enjoyed our stay immensely and will go back again.

    Good Stay!

    Nice hotel and very friendly staff. Dog rooms are on the first floor and you can open the sliding door to take your dog out (so very convenient). Only comment is that BringFido says they allow dogs of any size. The hotel only allows dogs up to 75lbs unless you get manager approval. I had to do that prior to arriving which I was able to do. Definitely recommend!

    Great dog-friendly hotel

    We really enjoyed our stay. They are very dog friendly even giving dogs treats on arrival. Hefty fees for pet damage. So make sure your pup is well behaved. Spacious, very clean rooms. Grab and go breakfast was only ok, but I get with COVID it’s hard to have lots of options. We could hear some noise from upstairs but not much. Our room had a nice kitchen and spacious bath with great shower. Kitchen well stocked with basic dishes and pots. Pool was nice and we had a first floor room with access to grassy area to walk dog. Waste baskets outside for easy clean up. Bed was comfy and lots of pillows. Not far from beach, shops, and restaurants.

    Nice place

    Only problem was the filthy floors. My feet were black from just walking around my room.

    Great spot for Fido

    Clean, Fido-friendly, and reasonably priced in a quiet area.

    Wish our stay was longer!

    Traveling with a dog can be very stressful but our short (but sweet) stay at Palmera was seamless. We spent the day tiring our 1.5 year old golden retriever pup on the beach and he slept like a baby through the night. We could easily take him out for bathroom breaks through the patio door in our room that leads to the backyard area where dogs are permitted to go. The room was spotless and fully stocked with a full kitchen (stove, fridge, dishwasher etc) and beds were very comfy. Will definitely return!

    Very nice for dogs!

    We had a nice big room that had doors that opened to a nice grassy area for the dogs. The front desk attendant was very friendly. Good experience!

    Best Bang for the Buck!

    Pleasantly surprised. The room was very spacious, full size stove, full size fridge, bar/counter with two tall chairs, full size sofa. Very quiet in the room... I could hear people next door only from the hallway, but never from inside my room. The breakfast buffet was very limited, but hey, it's free. They do serve Starbucks in their coffee dispensers. Friendly staff. Clean rooms, clean lobby and comfortable all-around. A raccoon must have gotten into the trash outside the building I was in as trash was scattered all over the back pet walk area. I let the front desk know, and it was immediately cleaned up. Very responsive. The only minor downside was that the bathroom was pretty tight. Not much room to put anything on the counter... though they did have a couple of shelves below to store items. Bottom line, you simply can't go wrong with the spacious room for the price. I brought my two dogs and had no issues whatsoever. It is very close to the central grocery store (Kroger), shops/restaurants, and also close to Shelter Cove Marina (1 mile away). They plan to renovate the current buildings, but they are a great choice as is for travel with pets. Highly recommend!

    Great, been there multiple times!

    This place is great, don't hesitate to book. It is in a good location, is really economical, nice suites, really easy for dog travel. They are bigger than most hotel rooms with a kitchen. The price is about as cheap as you can find and you get a lot of value with that price point. I've been there twice and just rebooked for my third stay, no need to look elsewhere. My last trip they were renovating the lobby but I just booked and they didn't increase the price despite the renovations.
