Little Palm Island Resort & Spa - Little Torch Key, Florida

Absolutely marvelous. We came here during our honeymoon for dinner. The whole experience was remarkable. The boat ride was very enjoyable and from moment we arrived on the Island we had amazing service. We enjoyed the lovely sea breeze and views of the sunset with delicious cocktails. Our dinner course was superb, every dish was perfectly prepared and full of flavor. The desserts at the end of the night were scrumptious. We didn’t want the night to end, it was so delightful sitting by the fireplace and having one last cocktail before it was time to leave. We look forward to coming back to celebrate for our anniversary one day. If you’re looking for a unique and delicious night out, Little Palm Island is an excellent option.

I have food allergies - so trusting the chef especially when there is only 1 restaurant for all meals is critical. IF YOU HAVE ANY FOOD ALLERGIES OR ARE A VEGAN DO NOT GO TO THIS RESORT! I Left covered in hives - and repeatedly asked what kind of flour was used for my "gluten free bread/pancakes". It took a live request, followed up by over 4 calls, and 4 days to receive the ingredient list - and one of my allergies was on the list, along with MILK - I am a vegan - I carry allergy cards, which were provided along with the list given to the resort prior to my visit. Each wait staff assured me the kitchen was aware of my dietary need. Clearly, they did not take is seriously.||As for the food - it varied from some night excellent to other nights, not just my food was subpar, overheard tables loudly complaining while other commented on the raw lamb sent out to diners. It really depends on which chef is cooking - We stayed for 1 week, after 21 means - I can tell you, the difference between the chefs is very good to poor. If you stay here you will take your chances. ||The beach is not swim - able. The lovely white sand in the photo stops at the beach line and it is very shallow and full of rocks and seaweed - and sudden small deep drops - ||The spa is very small, while the massages are very nice, hard get an appointment. If it rains, there is nothing but the spa - well, bring a good book but know the rooms are poorly lit so you might have issues reading it in your room.||Overall, I do not see this place as good value - considering the price, variation in food quality, and the lack of swim-able beach.

This property has it all. The staff were incredible and the services were top notch. I couldn't imagine a better birthday get-a-way with my wife. Very Romantic and relaxing. In all my years of traveling, I have never experienced anything like Little Palm Island and my wife said it was her best birthday ever! Thank you to all especially Karen Marchand!!!

Our stay at Little Palm Island was a very mixed experience. Many elements were fantastic but parts of the service experience fell far short of expectations for a luxury resort:||||Positives:||- Location and surroundings are incredible||- Food was high-quality, local and delicious (expect resort prices)||- Housekeeping staff were excellent at maintaining our suite and grounds||- Spa and Gym were well-equipped and not busy (mid-week)||||Negative: Several times service lacked follow-up. One small example: Upon arrival and unpacking we asked for extra hangers two times (over the course of 4+ hours). No one ever delivered them or told us they wouldn't be delivered - it was just left hanging. Another small example of lack of follow-up happened when we tried to reserve a custom dining experience (Chef's table) both at the front desk & at the dining room. No one ever got back to us telling us if it was reserved or not.||||Negative: The dining reservation system was never explained leaving us shut out of the best tables. A general reservation (two people at time X:XX) doesn't actually reserve a table. On the first two nights we had reservations and when showing up the best tables had "Reserved" signs but we were seated elsewhere. On the last day, I tried to make a reservation directly with the lunch hostess for that evening. She told us that tables on the beach were strictly "first come, first served". We arrived to dinner relatively early because of this policy yet when arriving the best beach tables were unoccupied and had "RESERVED" signs. Only then did the wait staff explain that they had recently implemented a new policy that if you request a specific table (as opposed to making a general dinner reservation) then you can apparently reserve that table.

Nothing can be more amazing than it is right here! The atmosphere is flawless. You can choose from enjoying the beach view from inside or sitting right on the beach itself. You take a quick 5 min boost ride that's easy, even for those that might worry for sea sickness. The food and drinks were flawless! 100% if you are thinking of this, a must try! It can be very expensive depending on your choices, so keep that in mind! And I can't forget how amazing the piano player was, who also road with us there and back on the boat. Remember if you're not staying in the resort rooms you have to take the meat boat back to the main land by 9pm.

I've been coming to Little Palm Island for 12 years now. It remains a very intimate and luxurious experience that hides right off a very beaten path. I was made aware of it from a colleague at The White House and since my introduction, I still have not heard this place mentioned by another soul, even ones of affluence who have spent decades in South Florida.

Should you not have adequate enough time to spend a weekend or even a night, please award yourself a five-star ocean-side, white sand-by-candlelight dinner. There is nothing on the menu you'll ever regret ordering. With impeccable service provided to the backdrop of the moonlight dancing off the turquoise waters and gentle ocean breezes blowing across your face, each bite only makes you wish you could share the experience with more friends and loved ones.

Arriving at your most coveted restaurant and being awarded a premium parking space because of your eye catching vehicle has its place, but arriving at a small, private island via an intimate vessel after sailing 10 minutes across translucent waters to have a host greet you by name as they escort you to your table makes even a Double R Phantom get "ghost". Of all Florida's elite dining venues and there are many, nothing will top Little Palm Island's exemplary dining experience.

Amazing experience!! Everything was just like I imagined!! This has been on my bucket list for 15 plus years! Everyone was so nice and helpful. The sunsets are an experience in itself. Food was top notch! This place didn't disappoint! Add this to your bucket list, you will not be disappointed.
