Just back from this wonderful resort. We had a fantastic time, once again. The accommodations are spacious and clean, they have lots of activities if you wish to participate, and you can't beat the location, walking distance to restaurants, grocery stores and the local busy stops right out front for easy transportation to anywhere on the island. You won't be disappointed at the Royal Palm.
