Top Front Beach Hotel Reviews
The Palms Oceanfront Hotel
8/10 Good
"First of all, the majority of the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. All but one... Just be aware that there is a daily charge for parking, and most parking is 1/2 a block away in a gravel parking lot. The hotel was extremely clean and well maintained. There was easy access to the beach and lots of great eateries within walking distance. However, the chairs by the pool where the worst I have ever encountered at a hotel or resort anywhere. If they were in the sun they got so hot, they would burn you through a towel. The chairs were also the most uncomfortable I have ever sat in. You might as well set on the concrete, which was cooler than the chairs. This was the same on the balcony chairs, absolutely horrible. For such a nice place, you'd think they would spend a few dollars extra for some decent chairs. Overall, the experience wasn't bad. The lack of parking, extra charge for checking in just 30 minutes early and horrific pool and patio furniture were all a big negative for us. Would I stay here again, probably, but my experience would cause me to look at other places first."

10/10 Excellent
"Five stars! Our stay at A Whale of a Time was incredible! This home was beautiful and provided ample space for a large family and friends. Many bedrooms and outdoor seating allowed for a comfortable stay and was relaxing for everyone. A Whale of a Time is a short walk to the beach where we enjoyed swimming for hours and sunrise walks. We were lucky enough to find live sand dollars, crabs,and starfish! This beach is a shell collectors dream as we found many to take home, and a shell identification book is kept at A Whale of a Time to check what you’ve found! Many resources on Charleston and Isle of Palm are at the home for your reading. Charleston is a short drive away and we enjoyed walking the city and learning about the history of the area. This vacation was such a great introduction to South Carolina and we will definitely be back! This home is a dream!"

"It would have been great to know ahead of time that the property was card only as we brought cash for our vacation. So check in was rough. We found the staff to be a bit short with us. Except for the valet team who were great, friendly, and quick. Hotel room was perfect and the cleaning service was great as well."
