We also tried out Beach Bungalow B5 there was more noise from the road here - but the ocean view and easy access to the beach from our... More

My wife and I just spent 27 days at the Palm Grove Resort celebrating our 45th Anniversary. To say we had a fantastic time would be an understatement, the setting is beautiful, we had a beach front bungalow and it was just steps to the water, the lagoon was crystal clear and the snorkeling wonderful, you actually could just stand...

We spent six nights in a lovely beachfront bungalow and were really pleased we chose Palm Grove. We were in bungalow B8 which, although set back the furthest from the water than most of the others, seemed to get more sun on the balcony than many of the others, so we were really pleased to have found ourselves in that...
