I stayed at the Royal Palm for two nights. I was already on a tight schedule so called ahead to inform that I would be in a hurry and to request that I be pre-checked in. This was done and so upon my arrival I had only to check the form and sign it.
Due to my busy schedule I did not have much interaction with the staff, but the front desk staff are quite friendly and helpful and available even at 3 and 4 a.m. when due to a minor crisis I was burning up the telephone line.
The room was nice and spacious and the bathroom was lovely and clean and appeared to have been fairly recently renovated. The a/c is however too noisy, small and far from the bed to be properly useful and appreciated. Also the television in the room had no remote control and either there was no cable or it was off during my short stay.
The website also advertises wireless access in the rooms, but this was not the case and I had to resort to walking to the main lobby at 4 a.m to access the wireless there.
Taxi to the airport is booked for you in advance without hassle even though the driver did turn up almost a half an hour early!!
Check out took much longer than check in (with the early taxi driver honking his horn) and be sure to check your change before you leave as I was almost overcharged.
Fairly nice location with both supermarket and salon nearby. Nothing exceptional though but if they get the tv and wireless working, it would be pretty much value for money
