The Royal Palm was perfect. Great location to everything. The rooms are clean, big and have a great view. The staff is friendly and helpful. We really loved karaoke night! Morning water aerobics was a good way to loose the guilt from all the delicious food we consumed here. I Love St Maarten!

The dutch side is the best side of the island in terms of beaches, activities, fun, entertainment, cleanliness. This hotel was great. The room was nicer than we could have imagined and the bed was very comfortable. Everything you need is in the room: shampoo, iron, blender, oven, utensils, etc. The restaurant has good food selections and the bar has... More

I have been coming here for over 10 years and there looks like a concerted effort to make this place better than in the past. New appliances and kitchen makeover was very nice. Hurray for non-stick pans after years without them. Plenty of towels, pillows, and linens. The unit was very clean in every respect. One big improvement was the... More

Tired and old feel to the unit with a hard bed and a shower that made me want to wear shower shoes. The kitchen, however, did have nice new Cuisnart appliances. And the resort staff was very nice. The beach is very nice and clean and the pool/bar area is pleasant. Depends what your idea of a vacation is. My... More

We were very happy with our 2 bedroom 2 bath condo. The view of of the ocean was great! The condo was in a good location, near restaurants, shopping, car rentals and the airport. The restaurant on the property had good food and friendly wait staff. We enjoyed our stay, just wish we could have stayed longer.

Just returned from a week at this resort overlooking the water. They keep the place very clean. The rooms are a very nice size and well kept. The restaurant there has very good food and is very reasonably priced. There are several other restaurants within a 15 minute walk of the hotel. It is in a great location. The people... More

Currently at resort and we're very satisfied. Great condo with good space. Wall in living room is mostly glass and slides back to be wide open to beach view. Beautiful beach with lots of sail boats in harbor. Sheltered area so water is very calm and clear. Wonderful beach with good pool, bar and restaurant right on beach. Beach restaurant... More

We stayed a week mid April, overall the place would be between average and very good. Very good because the staff were friendly and accommodating. Average because the physical plant could use some renovating. Our room was looked clean and spacious, but the floor could have been better swept. The bed worn but comfortable. The kitchenette was a little dated... More

Although they could use some paint here & there and the general staff one meets around the building could be more personable; the view, beach, pool, cleaniless and having so many great bars & restaurants within walking distance, make The Royal Palm our favorite place to stay when in St Maarten. We so enjoy watching the mega yachts in season,... More
