Want to bring the family, but worried about keeping a budget? At this resort, kids stay free! Yes, you read that right. Kids 12 & under get all the food and fun at no extra cost to mom and dad. Whether getting crafty at the activity center, kicking butt at the video-game arcade or playing in the sun and surf, your kids can live it up without shelling you out.

Need a drink while making a splash? Just float over to one of the submerged lounge chairs and let one of the resort's skilled mixologists dazzle you with a cocktail. Remember, if you're with your kids, they are having a great time at the Kids Club!

A fresh new look, three pools with ocean views, restaurants, bars, a spa, activities and plenty of areas to unwind, this is really a resort for everyone.

This hotel is NOT all-inclusive. Food and drink must be purchased separately. Unless otherwise specified, all services are available for an additional charge.

    Vacation in paradise

    The Holiday Inn was a lovely place to stay!! The entire staff is welcoming, friendly, helpful and just plain nice people!! Rooms are great. The bed was comfortable. They cleaned your room daily which was a nice treat! Norine Riley made sure we had everything we needed and gave amazing directions (to your room lol). Coffee on the balcony every morning was delightful. The hotel is located on Palm Beach. Walkable to numerous restaurants and shops, which is a plus! The hotel grounds are beautifully landscaped. Whether you sit on the beach, float in the pool or swim in Carribean Sea, you will have a relaxing time. Juan, Yaqui (? Spelling ? But pronounced Jackie), Willy,, all great shakers lol and kept us well hydrated. Carlos at the booking desk, plus many, many others ❤️ thank you for everything!! Rich and Nancy
