Our party of 10 just stayed at the Royal Palm Resort from May 24th to June 4th....We had 2 rooms for this amount of people. I also had read many reviews before going and I have to say no one really told of all the construction that is going on right at this resort...One of our rooms was on the 2nd floor and we had a huge dumpster right out side our door which all the tile and everything else that is being ripped out of the rooms was dumped into. The other room was on the bottom floor and they were jack hammering in the room right above it and busted a water pipe and our bedroom ceiling was being soaked and dripping water. And they tell you that they don't start work until 10:00 AM, that is not the truth AT ALL!! They start the work as early as 7:00 AM EVERYDAY! So if you go try your best not to be on the 1st or 2nd floor for sure! As far as the rooms, we had one of the old style and one of the updated ones...Both were very nice size and we didn't have any complaints with either room. We only recieved room service 1 time while we were there since we traded for this timeshare. I believe if you rent this room like a hotel room you will get it everyday. Its in a great location with many places to eat right across the street within walking distance. The bar up stairs is a nice place to hang out and Darren the bartender is GREAT! Over all we had a very nice time on this vacation.

I read some of the reviews prior to my 2 week stay (May 5 - 19, 2007) and again upon my return. I am a little perplexed about all the complaining - Yes, there is construction at the moment across the bay - have you ever been in a city?? It is not a problem at all. The beach is great and very safe for children. The view is spectacular with all the yachts. Restaurants across the road were great. Had a 5 pound lobster!!

The rooms were very large and comfortable. The staff was very friendly and brought us linens and flowers every day (and no, we did not pay them, we were just nice to them!!).

I can definately recommend the property.

When we booked the hotel, the owner/renter did not tell us there was construction going on right across the bay. There was constant hammering pretty much during the entire day. Also, not very impressed with service or room.

My family and I just returned from a vacation from April 7-14, 2007 at the Royal Palm Beach Club. Check-in went smoothly, and we were pleased to have both of our rooms on the same floor, within easy walking distance. The two-bedroom rooms themselves were ok- clean and comfortable, but lacking in some simple cosmetics: fixtures on the wall were not secure, towel holders loose, various small holes in the wall. The actual resort was fairly clean, with the exception of some litter on the edges of the beach. The front desk was not very helpful- it felt that we were inconveniencing them with any questions we had. The view is nice- it overlooks the lagoon with many boats. Major drawbacks: it is right next to the airport, so there are loud airplanes constantly overhead. The resort is also right next to the police station, so do not be surprised to hear sirens. However, on the positive side: the resort is within walking distance of some excellent restaurants, so that is a big plus if you do not want to bother renting a car or travelling all over the island. May I recommend the Saratoga restaurant: a bit pricy, but excellent quality of food. We also did the Calypso dinner catamaran + dinner on the french side: great times. We went to the sister property, The Flamingo, a few times since the beach there had a more open view of the ocean, and the resort had a much nicer pool. At either resort, we never had to fight for chairs or a smaller umbrella. The larger umbrellas were a little harder to claim. Overall, the resort was ok. My family does quite a bit of travelling, and this resort is by far not the worst, but definitely not the best.
