Palm Lakefront Resort & Hostel

This place does not exist. No answer on phones. Only dirt. Looks like they sold out - tried both of the addresses listed online, and both phone numbers. Auto hangup. Too bad as it just felt like it would be a great break

While visiting the Kissimmee area this winter, I spent several weeks at the Palm Lakefront Resort & Hostel. Having never really experienced a long term stay at a hostel, I was rewarded with new friendships, a beautiful yard with lake access to Lake Cecile and excellent ability to get places in the Kissimmee area. I was there to hike, bird watch and write. I left and then returned several times. Jerry, the manager, is an easy going person and the full time residents were friendly After being there awhile, I became friends with many. The facilities are clean and communal areas are well equipped. The kitchen area can become busy but the ebb and flow of people sharing was tolerable. The areas on the grounds in back include a fire pit, gazebo which extends out into the lake making sunset

The resort/hostel is difficult to give just one rating as it depends what you are looking for in a place to stay. On the positive side the value is great. I stayed in a private room for just $50/night (shared dorm rooms are like only $20/night). My room was in good condition and spacious. Air conditioner worked well and didn't smell musty. However the water didn't taste so good (I recommend bottled water for brushing teeth) and I couldn't get the mini-fridge to work. Manager was helpful when I thought I lost my room key & he unlocked the door right away and fortunately found my key still inside the room.||||Also on the positive side is the owner/managers appear to be very supportive of alternate lifestyles. There seems to be a live and let live attitude which is refreshing. There's no secu

What an incredible experience! I haven't even jumped in the pool yet, I just had to share how great this place is! The staff members are so friendly and welcoming. The guests that I met were from all over the world and so much fun to talk with. The beds are simple and nice. There is a billiards table, table tennis, and board games. There is even a gym! I love this place and will be back soon =)

It was great. Clean room and great staff. Jerry was exceptualy nice and joked. I'm the same. It was great to meet someone with such a nice personality. The price of the room was a lot more reasonable than some I found in Orlando. I would recommend staying there. I look forward to staying again, but next time do some fishing.
