Our team's take
Did De Palm Island with a group of girlfriends for a birthday and upgraded to a private beach cabana, right where the flamingos hang out and just walk around the beach with you. Ticket included bus pickup and the ferry over, super smooth start to the day. Once there it's open bar, lounge beds, attentive staff, and genuinely good food. We did the banana boat a few times as a group, way more fun as adults than expected, and the tall body-drop slides are a solid thrill if you're not with little kids (there's a separate water park for them). A really memorable day, great for groups, families, or a couple wanting something special.
