The rooms were definitely old yet modern however, there was a dead roach in one bathroom and a lot of nats in the other bathroom. The bed was a little too firm for my liking. But I lived that we were walking distance from the beach

Awesome place for the price , clean and quirky, convenient to a Baptist church for Sunday services. I was on the Island to officiate a wedding and the staff was so nice allowing an early check in to get dressed. Communication was great. Will definitely stay again in the future.

My experience was great. I went to relax and enjoy the sun and sea without crowds. It was quiet and peaceful at the Royal Palms. The office ladies were very helpful and friendly. I was there five nights and could have used a refresh of the bathroom half way through. Otherwise everything met my expectations. I hope to return.

For the price, it was fine. It was clean, and i would stay again, however, our room was just the 1 queen bed and it was a bit tight. The shower was big, but the rest of the bathroom was snug. The sink was very small and the water was hard to keep in it. But it was reasonably priced for the area.

The air ran almost all night , light bulb out in bath room , the toilet facing the shower was the worst there was a step for the shower that was directly in front of the toilet which made it difficult just to use the toilet unless you sit sideways !
