I like that The Palace at Coral Gables has everything included. They have electricity, water, gas, and food. There are three different menus every evening. There's a chef's special, a regular menu, and a spa menu. The food was excellent. They have a pool table, ping pong, many different clubs, a library, a computer room, activities, cocktail hour every evening, and entertainment every evening. It's got everything. If people can afford it, that's the place to go.

The Palace at Coral Gables looked very dated. All the furniture was old fashioned, all velvet puffy chairs and stuff. People didn't look quite as happy there as at the other place I toured. The staff who assisted us was very nice and very helpful. They had quite a bit of activity going on, they had Movie Day or Movie Night, they had entertainment come in once or twice a month and two different things, and they do different things. They could be updated and modernized, the furniture changed, it just needs a good do-over. The place is clean, the furniture and stuff just need to be changed.

Do not lease space here during Covid-19. Residents are treated poorly and zero communication to family members. The Palace does not protect health privacy and the wellness center is extremely unprofessional. The Palace does not adhere to CDC guidelines and make up their own without explaining this going into the leasing office. Be wary of the staff. Because most of the residents require care, the staff assumes they are incapable of making decisions. Residents are treated as "stupid". This is advertised as an "independent living" facility however, is primarily Assisted Living. Beautiful facility and extremely expensive. Very "cliquish". A group of women are noted the "mean girls" (nicknamed by the staff). Residents should be respected by the staff and other residents. Residents are verbally abusive to each other. The community offers many activities if your loved one wants to participate and is not depressed because of the lack of friends. Apartments are safe and upscale. Staff enters apartments anytime they want. No privacy unless the resident has a "do not enter without knocking sign". Even if you sign "do not enter" in your lease, staff does not abide.

My husband is at The Palace at Coral Gables. He hasn't had a problem, but the other residents are cliquish so it's hard for him to make friends there. He wanted to play poker, but it's hard to get into a game. He went to the pool a few times. They serve three meals a day, give him his medications twice a day, and do his laundry. The staff is very nice. It's very expensive, and he's not very happy there.

We visited the palace at Coral Gables, and it was absolutely beautiful. The person who accommodated my aunt was great. She loved it. We went to the dining area, and the residents felt comfortable with the food. They have a beautiful pool, they have exercises, and the people from the University of Miami do shows for them. We toured the independent side, the apartments were new, and two meals a day are included in the rent.

The Palace was nice and upscale. When we went in, a couple of people were sitting around, and it turned me off. It did not appeal to me. They had classes, a pool, and a gym. It had a nice, big, hotel feel with nothing much going on.

My parents were in the waiting list at The Palace. Everybody was terrific; that's why my parents would be good there. The place was beautiful and clean. The staff was very nice and friendly. The apartment looked nice. It would be a very good option for them. The residents seemed happy and busy.

I visited this gorgeous facility. The food was delicious, there were interesting activities and , the staff was very pleasant and helpful. The Palace is the sole senior community I visited that truely felt more like a luxury resort hotel than an old age home

I visited The Palace at Coral Gables, and it was wonderful. We looked at one bedroom with one bath. It was 650 square feet. You could get it furnished or unfurnished. It was beautiful, and it had a balcony. Everything was top-notch -- the food, the entertainment, everything. I did not have anything bad to say.

I contracted to stay at the Place at Coral Gables and reserved an apartment. It’s very nice and richly furnished, and the pool was gorgeous. The staff was very accommodating, friendly, and caring. The food was excellent, and the dining area is like a high price restaurant. They have exercise classes, swimming pool, art classes, and lectures. The rooms were up to date and very clean, but the studio room that I saw was very small and very expensive.

The Palace at Coral Gables was great. It's beautiful, but very expensive, and we didn’t want to spend that much per month. The people were very nice, and the rooms seemed very comfortable. The food was very good. We were there when the ice cream social was going on, so we were able to enjoy a very good ice cream cone. I thought it was very nice, just a little expensive.

I was skeptical when I heard about this being the "best luxury senior living community in America," isn’t everyone??? But boy was I wrong...it truly is! What a beautiful and clean and amazing community! But beautiful inside too with the wonderful staff and service. It's worth every single penny especially since our grandmother is super happy! Yes, it’s a bit expensive, but I’ve actually seen much more expensive places than The Palace. And I wouldn’t have my family members live anywhere else as long as I have the option! Thank you to all the people at The Palace at Coral Gables!!

The Palace at Coral Gables is for people who are totally independent, able to drive, walk, shop, and go to the theatre. It’s extremely elegant -- it’s like being in Renaissance and like being in Vizcaya. The people are functionally independent; they come and go if they choose. They have a dining room available, or you don’t have to eat in the dining room if you don’t want to. They are much more expensive than the one in Homestead. It is located on a little tiny side street, very quiet. Great for somebody who is between 65 and 80 who comes and goes how she wishes. It’s a great facility. The rooms are nice, lovely, spacious, and very clean. It is freshly painted as each client leaves, and they change the carpeting on a regular basis. They come in there and clean every day, change the linens, vacuum, and dust. Their staff is not as compassionate, though.

I made a call to The Place and they would not give me the information over the phone so they scheduled us for a tour. When we got there we were shown around and the place was amazing marble floors chandeliers stunningly gorgeous. They had different activities for the seniors through out the day as well as different packages such as complete independent living or assisted living which meant a nurse would stop by to help with meals and baths. I was interested in the independent living because my mom is still able to care for her self but I did request a nurse to be on call to check her vitals at least once a day because of her high blood pressure and diabetes. At the end is where they explained the prices, it was between 4,000 and 6,000 per month!! If I could afford it I would in a heart beat pick this place but sadly my budget is only around 2,000 per month. After they have called me a lot of times to try to sell it to me but I simply can't afford it.

I am a caregiver for my mom age 86 and she has Alzheimers but still lives with me. I have asked about many facilities here in Miami. People all say that the Palace is the cleanest and best food and care. But it is also the most expensive.

The Palace has one of the most stylish and sophisticated assisted living facilities I've ever seen. It looks, smells, and feels like a place anyone would love to live! The staff seem to know the perfect balance between being helpful and being overbearing. My grandmother still feels very independent and LOVES living like a queen at the Palace!

I went to visit the Palace for my 75 year old mother. I first visited the website and fell in love it. I called and quickly made an appointed it. As soon as I walked in I felt as if I had walked into a palace for real. Very elegant, excellent service, friendly staff and perfect location. They take you around first and show you the place then they tell you about your options. They offer assisted living, indipendent living, and also nurses. I chosse the option for assisted living which would mean someone would help her with everyday choorse and also she would be check on by a nurse every now and them. Everything was ideal until they told me the price. Of course they save that for the end... its $4,000 per month!!! I can't even fathom the idea of paying that. That was double what I had in mind as my budget. Don't get me wrong IF you can afford it go for it. It's worth the money. But sadly for me $4,000 is more then what I make a month.
