My girlfriend and I came to Royal Palm for Spring Break. We wanted a vacation away from the Spring Breakers where we could enjoy the sun and relax. Royal Palm delivered just that! It was a slice of paradise as another guest quoted. We payed for the all inclusive package, and stayed 6 nights.
Our Cabana had a mini fridge where they stocked beers and sodas with. They also had a drinking fountain in the room.
Arrival: We were greeted at the airport by Charles, who drove us to the marina to take the boat to the island. The marina, is where they have their main office, and boats docked. Charles was very nice, and made us feel welcomed and safe. The boat ride was 30 minutes. When we reached the island we were greeted with fresh squeezed orange juice, which was delicious!
Charlene,the manager, brought us to our cabana, which had the most breathtaking view we had ever seen. All the cabanas include air condition, which works very well. She then brought us around the island to show us around. Charlene was very nice, and welcoming during our whole stay. She made sure we had everything we wanted, and asked us what we wanted to do everyday.
Food: Was excellent! We had so many great meals! The chef defiantly knew how to make different variations of food. She made fish in several different ways, fried and grilled chicken, pork, steak, shrimps, ceviche ( Which was amazing!) To bad she couldn’t come back with us to the states! They also had really great deserts, and fresh fruits. Our server, Aaron was very friendly, and he gave us tips on what to do in Belize. Rodwell, bartender, made really great mojitos! You should also ask for a “Wat-u-ma-call-it”, which is their signature drinks. Taste like marguerite and mojitos mixed. It’s delicious!
Excursions: We decided to do Shark Ray Alley, where Hiro their Captain, and Benny Co-Captain took us to swim with fish, turtles, Sharks, and Sting Rays. This experience was amazing, and Hiro definitely knows his way around the waters. He is very knowledgeable, and made us feel safe in the waters. Hiro, also took us fishing, and we caught barracudas. We asked the chef to grill them that night, and they were delicious!
My girlfriend also received a massage from Yessi. Which she said was relaxing, and exactly what she needed after a day out in the sun.
Wifi: The resort includes free wifi. The wifi during our visit worked great everywhere, until last two days because of heavy winds. However, the wifi worked great in the restaurant our whole stay. However, what do you expect when you go to a private island in the middle of the ocean. We just wanted to post pictures to make friends and family jealous!
As other guests said, they have a center Palapa where it is all set up for a Bar. The last two days of our stay they set it up and had Rodwell there almost all day to prepare our drinks. I believe the Palapa should be the main bar, and a bartender should be there almost all day, everyday, in order to order drinks. They had reggae music playing which gave our visit a more island, relaxing vibe to it. It was nice to go to the Palapa, order drinks, and just hang out and talk, while enjoying cold drinks.
Charlene also informed me they were going to get a bbque grill to put out on the beach, so the chef could prepare meals outside on the beach. Which i believe is a great idea for future guests. They will be able to catch their fish, and cook it.
Tips: Air conditioner will be colder if you keep the fan off.
Make sure to do the Shark Ray Alley excursion, its truly unforgettable.
Our stay at Royal Palm was relaxing, with great customer care, and a beautiful setting! We had an amazing stay and defiantly recommend this resort.
