I have stayed at the Santa Fe and the Palace several times. For those deciding between the two side by side properties there were a couple of noteworthy differences. Although I enjoyed the food options at Santa Fe I would say the Palace is probably a little better. The main part of the Santa Fe is set back from the waterfront. The Palace has a beautiful open air bar with spectacular views over looking the water and the main buffet restaurant shared the same views. Santa Fe is a short walk to the beach. Palace guests can use Santa Fe facilities, but the Palace is not open to SF guests. Both hotels have workout facilities that open at 7am and are usually quite busy from 7-930am and then quiet the rest of the day. Palace gym small and limited, but also has a separate cardio room at beach level. SF gym is one of the best hotel gyms I have seen. FYI Uber can drop you off at the front lobby’s of both hotels, but are not permitted to pick you up on the property. This requires a 5 minute walk to the security gate at the front of the property (Uber to airport was $40usd in the middle of the afternoon. Taxi closer to $100. The rooms at both hotels are very similar. Both clean and nice. But you must be careful and make sure it is configured to meet your needs. Wife and our 20 year old son booked a room for 3. In the past we received a king (2 twins pushed together) and a pullout sofa. When we arrived at the SF for our December trip the room had 2 twins, no pullout sofa.

Stayed at this property several times. Never disappointed in the service, food and beverage quality, cleanliness, activities, and family friendliness. Highly recommended for families and the party goers. This property has it all, quiet side, party side, and kid side. The beach is great, just be careful for the waves.
