We have been staying at Palm Manor at least once a year for over 10 years but our stay in July this year may be our last. Although some of the beds could do with replacing and Internet Access is slow, Palm Manor is excellent value for money. It is close to good shopping and excellent quiet beaches. However, this year a crowd of yobs in 1 condo ruined what is usually a pleasant and relaxing stay. They were throwing fireworks across the car park and in their lanai, shouting and using bad language and playing loud music into the night. On the night before the 4th of July half of the youths of Englewood appeared to descend on this condo for a party, they were swarming all over the car park and wandering around the complex leaving beer bottles everywhere. They quickly dispersed when the police turned up. It would help if there was someone available on the property at all times instead of just weekdays 9-4. It I could be certain that this problem had been resolved I would love to go back to Palm Manor.

Be warned. We have just returned from a 2 week stay. During this time the site was monopolised by a group of youths who played loud music and shouted across the premises and car park, there was noise from 6am until midnight. The site was littered with rubbish and the garbage area was overrun. There was no manager on site after 4pm or at weekends and complaints fell on deaf ears. We overheard one man making a complaint in the office who was told " call the police if you are not happy" Not what you expect when you are booking a family holiday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This place was excellent!
It was nice and quiet and close to everything you need. Many plazas and restaurants are located within walking distance. The beaches of the area are very nice! I highly recommend Manasota beach. It's about a 10 minute drive but you don't need to pay for parking. And there is a Lifeguard on duty which is always nice if you have young kids or like that idea of security. I loved the relaxing atmosphere and the residents of the resort are very kind and welcoming. Get out and play some shuffleboard and horseshoes with them, it's quite the riot!
Overall my family's holiday spent here was very nice, no complaints. I highly suggest it to others.

Four of us rented a 2 bedroom condo for two weeks. Very simple and clean unit with all amenities. Outdoor pool was cleaned daily. Shuffleboard, horseshoes. Lots of activities in the condo if you wish. You can have your quiet time or get involved. Denny's, Publix, Bealls all in the area. Very quiet and a great getaway. Close to Englewood Beach and a ten minute drive to Manasota Beach. Beautiful area and would highly recommend Palm Manor!
