Coconut Palm Inn

We eloped at the Coconut Palm Inn in November 2022 and stayed for 5 nights in the thatch palm suite.

Pros:
- The room was comfortable and nicely decorated
- the grounds are beautiful and well maintained. There are plenty of hammocks, kayaks, nightly smores around the fire pit and a clean heated pool.
- we enjoyed daily visits from the friendly resident resort cat
- staff are pleasant and cordial

Cons:
-  We chose the thatch Palm suite because of the bathroom which includes a rainfall shower and jetted tub. Unfortunately when we arrived we quickly realized the jetted tub wasn't working and the water pressure was too low to use the rainfall shower. We reported the issues to staff and they attempted to fix the tub but told us they would need to order a new part.  Staff were apologetic but offered no real solutions.
-  Our room was not cleaned or serviced once during our 5 night stay. We had to go to the front desk daily to ask for fresh towels and trash bags. Their paperwork stated that the room would be cleaned on the 3rd day but that didn't happen.
-  We thought the $500 Wedding site fee was a bit steep considering that we had a 10 minute ceremony with 4 guests.  Other guests of the resort were asked to clear a section of the beach briefly for our ceremony.
- The refrigerator in our room had an unpleasant fishy odor. We bought a box of baking soda to place in the fridge but it didn't seem to help.  This odor ended up permeating any food items we placed in the fridge.

In the end we had a lovely time in the keys but were disappointed with the Inn. We were hoping to make returning to the coconut Palm inn a yearly anniversary tradition but we'll be looking at staying at other resorts in the future.
