Top Palmer Island Hotel Reviews

Inn on the Square

8/10 Good

"Nice stay, not quite as nice as pictures show but not bad, just a little more standard of a hotel feel than expected"

The Pell - Part of JdV by Hyatt

8/10 Good

"Lovely property. The room was spacious and clean. Breakfast was very good and included with the room. It was easy to drive to Newport but obviously would have been more fun to stay in town. The only negative was that I noticed they charged me for breakfast when it should have been included. I called to dispute and it was easily fixed. I would not normally call this out except I saw people had issues with smoking charges when they didn’t smoke so…..? The pool looked inviting and wished we were staying another day to hang out there for a bit. I would definitely recommend this place."

Vineyard Harbor Motel - Private Beach

8/10 Good

"This is a basic motel in a good location in vineyard haven. The private beach and free kcup coffee are nice touches, and the staff is very helpful and friendly. The room was dated and somewhat dark being on the first floor but it’s a clean and affordable option. We’ve stayed here twice and will return when we’re in the area."

Mariner's Point Resort

8/10 Good

"Great location. Handy for ferry to Martha’s Vineyard. You need a car but there’s designated parking and it is minutes from shops. Room has a Murphy bed and a sofa bed. We had a lovely upper level balcony with westerly views. Bbqs available. Pool never too busy. Communal cooking facilities basic but available."
