Good value; recommended. I've read a couple of negative reviews on Bay Palms and after staying here for 4 nights, I have to disagree with most of the negativity. In my experience, I have found this place to be clean (big dog park, walking around, laundry room, gym and community room), friendly (great super bowl party) and a good value for the price. I haven't used the shower/bathrooms or the pool (still not heated). The folks in the office seem to be friendly and responsive to requests/changes. This place is a 10 minute drive south to all that Dauphin Island has to offer and 30 minutes to downtown Mobile. The guests here are good folks, no trashy sites, not too much road noise, no constantly barking aggressive dogs, etc. Like I said, this isn't the Ritz: the community hall isn't pristine, there's not exquisite gardens on-site, you have to pay for your wifi, but for the price this is a good deal.
