Palmetto Beachfront Hotel, a By the Sea Resort
It was great for the price. Staff was very friendly. Beds were decent. We stayed 5 nights and slept decent and so did our children. Really couldn’t beat the price for what we got. The kids loved the pool. We were bummed the tiki bar was closed but I guess it opens in the summer. The beach was great ...
