Probably good for families with kids. Pool was overrun by cannonballing kids. Adult pool kinda small for actual swimming. Front desk did not offer activities info. Mostly time share owners. Good proximity to heart of the action and restaurants.

This property is very unique compared to others on the same boardwalk. Originally we were suppose to stay at the Holiday inn but changed our minds as the rooms at Playa Linda are bigger. I traveled with a 8 month old, 6 year old, senior and my husband. Traveling with our 8 month old was not a good idea as he did not sleep at all- no fault of hotel.

The rooms were spacious and had a lot of furniture. I felt the furniture was very bulky and could use an upgrade. The washrooms all need to be renovated as they are pretty old.

Our first room was pool and ocean view- room 432 and it had unbelievable views! Our second room main level room 59 was amazing as well right on the beach. Room 59 is a bit loud as it is right beside the bar/ restaurant.

The pool was amazing, very clean and kids loved it. There was a lot of kids and families and everyone was friendly. Azzure the restaurant on the pool has great lunch options at a good price.

The beach was unbelievably gorgeous and so well takin care of. It was one of the best beaches on the island. Lots of chairs available even tho you need to be up at 6am everyday to reserve them. For us it was easy as our baby wakes up early.

Beach service was excellent with amazing drinks.

Location can not be beat!! You at in the middle of everything! Absolutely do not need a car. We took the bus downtown to Check it out for the day and it was well worth it - so beautiful and lots of shopping.

Overall great place to stay!

We had a nice suite, however, because we were not owners we were relegated to the lower floor. Even though we selected a sea view, it turned out to be a partial view. I really like the location of the place, it was clean, beautiful at night and the kitchen tools were well stocked but the bed was hard and the towels smelled like burnt hair. Would I go back, yes, but will be very specific about what I want.

The beach is on property, and it is by far the best on the island for spending time with family and relax. Service at the beach could improve, since you have to go and get anything you want at any of the hotel food and beverages locations. There is little control of guests reserving and not using beach palapas

The property has a very good location and all you need is there (no less no more). there are two budget with healthy food choices cafes (one on a beach and another one at the entrance). It also has a restaurant. Hot pool and adult area is a plus. every morning is the aqua aerobics. Beach is good and water is so calm. The only thing that we did not value is the kitchen amenities in a room. the have a coffee maker, dishes, a teapot , but no tea bags, no coffee filters and coffee, no cooking oil. Typically, it is all provided, but not in this hotel. you have to go and to buy in the nearest store.

Didn’t like pest control coming in during vacation, bingo or aquatic exercises being blasted throughout the resort part of every afternoon, the WiFi connection is very slow, and surely not a fan of smoking on the premises. The smoking was outside, not inside but still the overall stench leaves a very uninviting, 1980s feel in a 2021 world.
Food options are very reasonable, the staff at restaurants and on the Playa Linda do a good job. Security was fine and I never felt in any danger.
All in all an average experience. Don’t expect a hotel because this isn’t that. For
Example, every hotel I’ve ever stayed at had late night and weekend concierge hours. At Playa Linda their policy is the concierge has limited hours (typical 8:30-4:30 shift) but no one takes over after and somehow doesn’t work on weekends. Can’t blame the concierge, it’s a Playa Linda policy.Perhaps it’s because it’s more time share and the tenants know the area, but if you don’t and rely on a concierge he/she is not there after 4:30 from what I understand

Great location on a great island

We love the Playa Linda. It's located in the heart of downtown Palm Beach area, so it has the best of all worlds. Great beach, great pools, great restaurants, water activities, piers, shopping and casinos are all either on location or within a very very short walk. The resort is a tad bit older so the rooms might be a little smaller than some of the more modern resorts, but it's very well maintained and it's still an awesome place to stay. Everyone there loves this place, and I'm sure you will too.

Gorgeous property/resort with very friendly staff. We did a split stay where we stayed in one room for three nights and stayed in another room for 7 nights. The staff was very helpful in having our luggage and belongings transferred to our room for the second half and any time we needed help with something, someone always helped with what we needed. Kirk, one of the beach attendants, is always helpful to everyone and so friendly too, making everyone feel at home and happy to be here. Dylan, one of the staff members, was really helpful every time we had a question or needed a recommendation for what to do or where to go. He was extremely knowledgeable and went above and beyond to do what he could for us. It was very much appreciated and so nice having someone being more than happy to want to help us. We look forward to coming again!

Great resort and great location!

My husband, son (15) and I just got back from 5 days at Playa Linda and had a great time. The location is amazing! There are so many restaurant and shopping options within walking distance. The beach and pool areas are beautiful. Since we aren't timeshare holders and didn't arrive on a Sunday, we had to switch rooms after the first night but we just had to pack our stuff up and they did all the moving so it wasn't too bad. Our room was amazing... 2nd floor pool view and super convenient. We got a one bedroom suite with full kitchen for cheaper than any regular hotel rooms nearby! A great value! My only complaint is the chair hogs. People would put their stuff out to save cabanas and leave them empty for HOURS. So rude. I'm sure this happens everywhere, but I wish the resort would have a policy to remove towels left abandoned for more than an hour.

El hotel no tiene nada que envidiar a los hoteles de grandes cadenas que están junto a él, las instalaciones son lindas, se mantiene todo muy limpio, y la seguridad es de primera.

Me fascino el hecho de que mi habitación tuviera una pequeña cocina incluyendo todos los utensilios, ya que después de comer 2 días en los restaurantes mas cercanos, decidimos preparar nuestra comida que era mucho mas rica y económica.

Por estar ubicado en el centro mismo de la ciudad, todas nuestras visitas y aventuras fueron mas accesibles y convenientes. Mi hijo de 3 anos fue el que disfruto de mas : )

Worst of all is the necessity to get up with alarm clock very early to get the cheeky. Bu this is your vacation.. It is not enough shades on the beach.
If your room is next to staircase (i.e. #335), there is no way to have rest for more then 5-6 hours at night, when people stop slamming doors of staircases - usually from midnight to 5 in the morning.., It could be soft closure on the staircases used and better isolation of the rooms!
