Goble Palms Lodge is just stunning. The place is beautiful, incredibly well kept, the rooms are a dream, so stylish. Yummy breakfast. The honesty bar has a wonderful vibe. The area is safe and it's walking distance to Florida street. I hope to return some day!

We loved the personal touch that went through every detail of this place. A big room, lovely garden, breakfast was really delicious, staff and owner adorable and it was all accompanied by the sound of the waves from the Indian Ocean. We could not ask for more.

The best hospitality ever. Was a home away from home. 5 star accomodation indeed. Bob and Sally were clearly focussed on making our stay nothing but superb.The location was perfect and within walking distance from anything that was imagined. Breakfasts were top notch and the boardwalk was a welcomed daily exercise that one doesnt normally entertain. We will most certainly be back. The best ever!

Beautifully appointed Guest House with outstanding hosts! First impression of the house and garden were disappointing but once inside it was lovely. Needs a coat of paint outside and a garden spruce up!

I really liked how clean and well-maintained everything was — from the rooms to the shared areas. The atmosphere was peaceful and relaxing, perfect for a getaway. The staff were warm and welcoming, and it felt more personal than a hotel. I also appreciated the little touches like fresh towels, fast Wi-Fi, and a cozy breakfast spot. Overall, it was comfortable, quiet, and felt like home.

Everything was on point. The host, the facilities, the rooms, linen, etc. They have a couch covered with fabric material but it's sooo clean, whole room & bathroom smells fresh. My car was parked inside the garage. I even got a beautiful gift. Thank you
