My husband and I just returned from a week long stay at the Royal Palm Beach Club in Belize which we booked through our timeshare exchange company. Although the people of San Pedro may bring us back to Belize we will not be staying at the Royal Palm again. It was obvious that the focus of attention was on the property occupied by permanent residents and the timeshare properties were an afterthought. The furnishings in our unit were adequate but dirty. A fully equipped kitchen is not a necessity during a vacation stay, however what was available was sparse, dirty and some items were obviously beyond their usable life. One of our first trips was to the store to buy cleaning supplies for the bathroom, won't even venture to quess at when the last time it had really been cleaned. The information provided by Royal Palm to our timeshare exchange company indicated that the resort had water skiiing, wind surfing, scuba diving, fishing, telephone and a restaurant, we did not see any of the activities at the resort, there is no restaurant on site and there are no telephones in the rooms, there may be a telephone in the office, however the office is frequently closed. In fact during our stay the office on site was permantly closed a few days after we checked in, there was no posting at the office to indicate it was closed or where (place / phone number) someone could be reached. My husband and I continued to persevere, take in what Belize and the people of Belize had to offer when the Royal Palm had one more surprise for us. We were required to pay a utilities surcharge upon arrival, however the electric service was shut off the later half of our stay, only to find out the resort did not pay the electric bill. We may be back to Belize but we won't be back to the Royal Palm.
