Amazing Service from Miranda!
Pros:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We had such a wonderful experience at Little Palm inside The Ryder Hotel, and a huge part of that was our server, Miranda! She was absolutely amazing—so friendly, attentive, welcoming, and genuinely went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time.

The food and drinks were delicious, the atmosphere was beautiful and relaxed, and Miranda truly made the experience even more special. She was the kind of server who makes you feel taken care of without ever being overbearing.

If you visit Little Palm, definitely ask for Miranda! She is a gem and an absolute asset to the restaurant. We will absolutely be back! 🌴✨

I would look elsewhere
Pros:

Best thing I can say is that it was a great location. The room was dirty (they obviously don't clean the floors because the bottom of my socks were black), small and had mold around the windows. The pool is tiny and always VERY crowded. The front desk staff were rude. It is very strangely organized and you had to go through a very dirty garage to get out of your room or walk all the way around the hallway and use multiple staircases. It is barely a 3 star hotel and definitely not worth the price.

Miranda Made Our Stay
Pros:

The stay itself was nice but something stood out to me the most. There was an extremely kind worker who just truly made my day. Her kindness was so warming and her enthusiasm to help me truly just helped me be at ease. Miranda is so amazing! She deserves a raise!!!

Little Palm
Pros:

I went to The Ryder to have brunch with my family at the Little Palm. Miranda was our server; she was so welcoming and helpful. Really did make our experience super pleasant!

The food wasn’t over the top incredible but the hospitality made it worth the trip!

Thank you Miranda!
