South Padre Island's Boutique Beachfront Hotel & Cafe An Island Gem Since 1972

The Palms Resort is an independent, 30-room boutique hotel on South Padre Island, Texas, with direct beach access on Gulf Boulevard. Established in 1972, our retro-boutique property blends the easy charm of a classic beachfront motel with a chef-driven dining experience at the on-site Cafe On The Beach. We are pet-friendly, family-friendly, Winter Texan friendly, and one of the only South Padre Island hotels with an oceanfront cafe and full bar under the same roof.

Why Stay at The Palms Resort

Guests come back to The Palms for the things big resorts can't deliver: a small, friendly beachfront hotel with personal service, oceanfront views from every room, direct beach access steps from your door, a heated pool, free Wi-Fi, free parking, and pet-friendly rooms with a clear pet policy. Whether you are planning a SpaceX launch viewing trip, a long Winter Texan stay, a quick beach getaway, or a wedding weekend, The Palms is centrally located on the island and within walking distance of South Padre's best attractions.
