If you loved Shuckers, Palm Tree Club will probably make you sad - Review - Miami - The Infatuation

"There are two sides to Miami. One hunts for a cold, affordable beer, preferably with a view and no dress code. The other wants to look as hot as humanly possible, make eye contact with a DJ, and spend irresponsible amounts of money on irrational things. This restaurant on the edge of Biscayne Bay has catered to both of those Miamis at different times. Previously, it was Shuckers. Folks went there for a blessedly casual waterfront meal with decent food and an incredible view. Now it’s Palm Tree Club, where you spend $105 on a chicken tender tower while watching a DJ who just hopped off a yacht. photo credit: Palm Tree Club You might love it here. You also may want to hop onto a passing jet ski and disappear into the Bermuda Triangle. It really depends on which side of Miami you feel more aligned with. Palm Tree Club is a restaurant, although a very bad one. Service moves at a hangover pace and seemingly every plastic cup on the table has lipstick on it. The menu is an odd blend of toddler favorites, sports bar food, and clubstaurant hits. You can enjoy a first course of grilled cheese and caviar cones before moving on to baked ziti and branzino. None of it is good. Palm Tree Club’s biggest strength is the view it inherited, which is the only reason why we'd tell you to come here on a Wednesday to watch the sunset with a beer and guacamole. photo credit: Palm Tree Club The entire property (it’s also a hotel) is owned by a famous Scandinavian DJ. This place makes the most sense when no one is paying attention to the food, drinks, or the fact that Palm Tree Club even functions as a restaurant at all. They clear out the tables and throw parties on Saturdays, hosting DJs—occasionally very famous ones—who play sets in front of a truly stunning waterfront backdrop. That’s when one side of Miami comes here to dance, breathe in saltwater air, and remind themselves why they fell in love with this city. The other side of Miami just drives by now, wincing at the new paint job, and remembering when this place used to make them feel like that too. Food Rundown Guacamole This is the best thing here thanks to the tortilla chips that are puffy yet crisp. Sitting at the bar with this and a beer is pretty much the only way to have an enjoyable meal.

PlayMute video credit: Julia Malavé Chicken Tender Tower It costs $105 and comes with exactly 13 chicken tenders, a dump truck’s worth of french fries, and two dipping sauces. The chicken tenders are on par with your neighborhood Chili’s. If we were dancing to the dulcet tones of Tiesto and someone bought this for the table, we might love it. But this has to be one of the most spectacular wastes of money in the whole city. photo credit: Ryan Pfeffer Baked Ziti It tastes like it teleported here from the frozen food aisle of your local Publix. At least it has a lot of cheese. PlayMute video credit: Julia Malavé" - Ryan Pfeffer

I had a great stay at this hotel! The room was beautiful, clean, and very comfortable. My favorite part was definitely the view from the balcony — absolutely stunning! | also want to highlight the excellent service I received from Valentina; she was kind, helpful, and made my stay even more enjoyable. Highly recommend!

I have been in the real estate and customer service industry for 30 years now. I always provided our customers will incredible customer service and was on call for them 24/7. However, as a customer of a hotel (and I travel a lot now that I’m retired), I have NEVER experienced such incredible customer service from one individual. When I arrived at the hotel seeking accommodations, he quickly came to my calling and was excited to greet me and welcome me to the hotel. He explained the rooms and pricing, etc. and I booked the room. I will be speaking with the manager tomorrow morning to not only get a price for an entire month, but to try and do anything I can to help Tomas get the recognition that he so well deserves! Truly amazing experience with him. 🙏🏼 The rooms are fantastic for a GREAT price, have balconies, super clean, plenty of parking, and a restaurant with AMAZING FOOD! Thanks again, Tomas! You’re a young, energetic professional that is DEFINITELY going places in life! GOOD FOR YOU! 💪🏼 God bless you and your loved ones! 🙏🏼

We recently stayed at this hotel during our trip to Miami, and overall, it was a mixed experience, with some genuinely great features but also some frustrating issues that affected our stay. The Pros: The hotel is very well located, with a beautiful pool that overlooks the ocean. One of the highlights was being able to swim even late in the evening, which added a relaxing touch to our nights. The atmosphere throughout the property is cozy and laid-back, and having a supermarket just around the corner made things very convenient. Parking is free, which is a rare and welcome perk in Miami. Most of the staff were friendly and helpful, and we’d especially like to mention Maggie from the night shift, who went above and beyond for us. The beach club throws great parties (note: entry fees are not included), and the on-site food was genuinely enjoyable. The Cons: Sadly, the biggest downside was housekeeping. As other reviews also mentioned, rooms are only cleaned every third day (a questionable policy to begin with) but even that wasn’t honored. On the third day, we reminded the front desk to ensure our room would be cleaned. The staff member at reception was rude and visibly annoyed, but she confirmed it would be taken care of. Nothing happened. In fact, we ended up waiting four days before our room was finally cleaned, meaning that during our seven-night stay, the room was cleaned just once. To make matters worse, after requesting fresh towels, we returned to find the room door left open, and inside was a half-drunk paper cup of coffee, most likely left behind by a staff member. This felt like a serious breach of both hygiene and security. When we reported the issue to the morning receptionist, Norma, she was dismissive and unhelpful, showing no real concern. Thankfully, Maggie from the night shift took our concerns seriously, contacted the manager, and helped resolve the situation. The manager apologized and offered us a refund for one night along with a complimentary lunch the following day, which we appreciated. Also worth mentioning: because the hallways are open-air, we frequently saw lots of ants, bees, and even cockroaches, so it’s important to keep the door closed tightly. Lastly, the paid coffee machine served very weak, tasteless coffee, which was disappointing considering the otherwise decent food.

The rooms looked nothing like the dimensions of how they were taken so hero that in mind. The bathrooms were extremely hard to even step inside let alone sit on the toilet. Very outdated there bathrooms are, did not enjoy my showers they did not feel luxurious at all. These reviews are bragging about this place being 4 stars service. Most of them are for sure fake and bought 99% sure. We stayed for 4 nights and didn't even date to go downstairs the menu was extremely over price and does not cater to takeouts leaving you no option but to eat out. On the last night there was a massive cockroach 🪳 in the shower which confirmed that the rooms are all just renovated and plastered with frames and decorations. This hotel is a joke and the customer service is a hard 0 after dealing with day to day back and forth running around just to get things done. I had to walk a few times to the front just to get things done through the lack of communication in between housekeeping and the front desk. My Husband and I felt scammed and towards the end of our stay at checkout was met with multiple charges and fees. He spoke with a supervisor and nothing was resolved or even corrected and reassure it would be adjusted. They completely blocked out the situation as if we were never there. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone and suggest you keep moving forward.

In general, the hotel has a good view. However, it should improve the service and the cleanliness of the rooms. We stayed for around four days, and during that time, no one came to clean the bathroom or the room. The towels were dirty and had fur on them. Furthermore, we had to pay extra for the social areas such as the swimming pool, gym, and the parking even when we travel by plane.

Looks better in pictures than in person. No bugs at least and not too loud. Parking sucks on the weekends while they honor an elite group of A-listers who show up to party. Basically, if you are paying for a room there, they don't care and you have to park way in the back. Within walking distance to some nice shops. Customer service is ok - if they are around. Rooms aren't the best but also aren't the worst. The reason I am posting this is because THEY DON'T REFUND YOUR DEPOSIT. They tell you when you check out that they will. I called 15 days later and they said they don't do that or that maybe it takes 30 days. I waited 30 days and now you can't even get them to answer the phone. Go somewhere nicer and worth your money.

Palm Tree Club has a peaceful, relaxing vibe and one of its biggest highlights is the view. The ocean is right in front of you—calm, expansive, and beautiful to look at whether it’s day or night. Sitting outside or even just looking through the window feels refreshing and adds a lot to the mood of the stay. The overall atmosphere of the property is tropical and minimal, which creates a nice visual appeal the moment you arrive. However, when it comes to comfort and convenience, there were a few letdowns. Our room didn’t have a kettle, which felt like a basic missing item. Something as simple as wanting to make coffee or tea became a hassle. The bigger issue was with the key card—it randomly stopped working multiple times, and that became a genuine inconvenience, especially when we were already tired or in a hurry. Having to go back and get it reactivated more than once made the whole stay feel a bit disorganized. The location, while quiet and somewhat scenic, isn’t the most accessible if you’re looking for places to explore on foot. You’ll likely need transport to get around easily.
