What's to Love
This is the largest, and newest all inclusive resort directly on Palm Beach! Food quality is exceptional (be sure to check out Krystal Gourmet a la carte), even a make your own bloody mary station with tabasco! Large swimming pool with plenty of activities. Beach is very large and wide. 24 hour sports bar with snacks and drinks flowing all the time! Fitness center and spa are top notch, too. Rooms excellent as expected.
What We'd Change
Be sure to set your alarm and wake up to reserve a palapa on the beach at 6am (or pay $20 as I did and have beach chairs and umbrella set up right next to the water!). Make your a la carte reservations upon arrival as restaurant space fills up quickly. Courtesy wifi only in lobby, but pay $10/day or $35/week and you can access it in most rooms (check before you pay the fee). Best tip: New beds can be a bit hard, so call front desk and ask for pillow tops to be placed on your bed with extra pillows. It was perfect!
Why You Should Go
All-Inclusive is perfect for allowing you to control your budget. This property has an abundance of restaurants and bars, and may be the best quality all-inclusive hotel on the island. With a RIU, no matter where you go in the Caribbean, you always know what you are going to get...exceptional food, high quality rooms, and sensational service!
