| - The Royal Palms is royalty in the resort spotlight! Only a few years ago, this beautiful location was slowly deteriorating into a mess of chipped paint, ancient tiles, and broken fountains. With the refurbishment of the past few years, the Royal Palms has sprung up as though from a fountain of youth, while still keeping its wonderful, old-school charm.
If you decide to stay, be warned that prices are over two times the price in the winter. If you want to catch a break, go during the heat of the summer. The rooms are frosty cool, and the gigantic showers and tubs are perfect for two! Each casita was designed by a different interior decorator, and the main buildings are beautiful as well.
The crowning jewel of the Royal Palms is the SPA. Oh my. This place is absolutely luscious! Be prepared for a pricey, but totally worth it, experience. My husband and I had several treatments one weekend and all were performed in the duet room, which has soaring wood beamed ceilings, a fireplace, and a totally private outdoor shower with a waterfall spigot. Our masseuses were very professional and discreet, and the entire experience left us both relaxed and happy.
In the words of Ferris Bueller: If you have the means, I seriously recommend it.
