We just got home from our IRB trip and shopped at Nekton several times during our stay. Spent…read morehundreds of dollars here as it's such a cute shop with great brands, but it needs major help in the customer service department. The girls working the shop are more interested in gossiping/talking amongst themselves and staring at their phones than being welcoming, helpful, or kind... esp the ones working on 8/11. We likely would have spent much more, but we got the feeling they would have rather us just left than buying anything at all. We witnessed them treating many others this way -- including a surfer who came in looking for an accessory to his board, who was sent away with nothing but a weird attitude. Idk, maybe find new employees.

We went in, and golly -- I was hooked! Super cute styles that function almost as a capsule wardrobe, because nearly everything goes with nearly everything, and is made with a wonderful, performance jersey. I love that they have some things that are a bit longer than Lilly Pulitzer and others; there is a jersey skort, made from kind of a waxed cotton (not sure how it is categorized) that won't show your whole backside when you're golfing. They also carry a ruffled v-neck, sleeveless top in a myriad of colors and prints, that will get you around the "collared" shirt requirement on the course. My friend found a darling dress with a-line shoulders and lots of straps/cut outs, in a beautiful navy and green print. It was mine! Pricing is not "cheap," but neither is the quality, and you'll find it's a good bit less expensive than Lilly Pulitzer; Jean Pierre Klifa; Spartina; and other brands with similar colors; material; and quality. To me, that's value. Virginia helped us in the store, and she was very nice, very knowledgeable, and even offered to set back the kelly green linen jacket, because she suspected I would call back and want it -- and she was right! It is winging it's way to me back in Ohio. (and you'll want that linen jacket in every color!) Go to Palm Palms!
