Can’t wait to go back
Perfect place to stay. The oceanfront room was great with an incredible view! Would highly recommend the Royal Palm. Only have positive things to say about the staff, the room and my entire stay. Can’t wait to go back!! It is conveniently located within walking distance to many good restaurants that were very reasonably priced. (The French side is much more expensive.) There is also a small store on site with reasonable prices. I have been to many of the islands and this is one of my favorites!

Comfortable place to stay
We had a wonderful stay! The unit we had had been renovated, the rooms are large and comfortable and the view was stunning, especially at sunset. Each evening we sat on the balcony watching the sunset as the sailboats dropped anchor for the night. The location was convenient with many restaurants right across the street and the airport is only five minutes away. The pool was small but very well maintained. There was however, plenty of lounges both around the pool and on the beach. My only complaint was the beds. They were new, but very uncomfortable. I would stay there again should I return to the island.
Great places to eat. Mario’s Cafe, pricey, but worth every cent. The food amazing as well as the staff. Skip Jacks was also very good, and is right across from the hotel. The Warf was also great fun. One man band and great atmosphere. Try the Banana Rum!

Great Location
We just returned from a quick 4 night stay. Wonderful location...about 5 minutes from the airport but no pesky airport noise! Great restaurants within walking distance... Friendly staff, beautiful beach, outstanding view from our comfortable and spacious 2BR/2BA condo. We will return.
