My husband and I opted for a Tropical Suite (85 sqm), which is a bit larger than the Junior Suite, is located on the 2<sup>nd<\/sup> floor and has a private staircase leading to the beach path. The last two features are favorable because first the view is better and second you are only steps away from the beach area.

The sand is white and smooth, the water clear and of a blue that is second to none. There are more than enough sun loungers, at least when we were there end of mid season\/beginning of high season. They have a special regime when it comes to who is sitting where. Seats are allocated by the beach manager, i.e. you have always the same ones for the whole stay. I do not know the allocation criteria, probably it has something to do with your type of room and whether you are a regular guest or not. Anyway, my husband and were not in favor of our allocated seats as they were a bit far away from where most other people were seated. The beach manager offered us another place of our liking for the next day, which we accepted. However, we considered the whole regime as a bit unusual, but there are probably no easy solutions how an allocation of sun loungers to guests can work properly.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<table style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" align=\"center\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" href=\"https:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-CI2yl77Di00\/WLWSON0Y8PI\/AAAAAAAACWo\/aMumVjxPxlE4rubigyRXgLvFPuTTtOZMwCEw\/s1600\/fullsizeoutput_105d.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-CI2yl77Di00\/WLWSON0Y8PI\/AAAAAAAACWo\/aMumVjxPxlE4rubigyRXgLvFPuTTtOZMwCEw\/s400\/fullsizeoutput_105d.jpeg\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;\">View of beach from beach path<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<div><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Clientele\"><\/span><strong><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;\">Clientele<\/span><\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<div><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;\">Apart from the allocation system with sun loungers there is another thing to know when planning a stay at the Royal Palm. We got the impression that the clientele mainly consists of French people. As we heard, this is especially the case during vacation seasons. At this time, there are a lot of families from France, many of them coming every year. I do not wish to offend anybody, but being an outsider amidst of tons of French families is not everyone\u2019s cup of tea \u2026<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<table style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" align=\"center\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" href=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-P1mofnlA9_w\/WLWSRhi26vI\/AAAAAAAACWo\/KNH7KeG53mEFW3xx03o-lnrTf6-k3B0_QCEw\/s1600\/fullsizeoutput_105f.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-P1mofnlA9_w\/WLWSRhi26vI\/AAAAAAAACWo\/KNH7KeG53mEFW3xx03o-lnrTf6-k3B0_QCEw\/s400\/fullsizeoutput_105f.jpeg\" width=\"400\" height=\"263\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;\">View of main building with restaurant\/bar<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<div><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pricing\"><\/span><strong><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;\">Pricing<\/span><\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<div><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;\">A stay at the Royal Palm does not come cheap \u2013 of course. When we stayed at the hotel in the changeover from mid to high season we could at least profit from lower rates at the beginning of our vacations. In high season, prices are steep, hence it may be advisable to go there outside the peak season. <br class=\"avia-permanent-lb\" \/><br class=\"avia-permanent-lb\" \/><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<table style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" align=\"center\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" href=\"https:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-CzR9T3ziR5Q\/WLWSDaxuJxI\/AAAAAAAACWo\/4QNF_rrO0sc8Zc2lfABWse365q5cvC6AgCEw\/s1600\/fullsizeoutput_1054.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-CzR9T3ziR5Q\/WLWSDaxuJxI\/AAAAAAAACWo\/4QNF_rrO0sc8Zc2lfABWse365q5cvC6AgCEw\/s400\/fullsizeoutput_1054.jpeg\" width=\"300\" height=\"400\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;\">Complimentary waterskiing, main building in the background (waterskier: my husband)<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<div><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Staff\"><\/span><strong><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;\">Staff<\/span><\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<div><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;\">I already mentioned that the hotel is very popular with French guests. That also shows with the staff. Many executive positions are filled with French people as well. In lower positions there are locals, but not all of them like speaking English. It is quite obvious that many prefer speaking French with you. But do not get me wrong, there is no problem to communicate with the staff in English. I think that most employees are perfectly able to do this, but nonetheless their dislike to do this was something I could not help noticing. Having said that, the service at Royal Palm is near to faultless, mostly you are treated like royalty, especially at the restaurants and at the bar. The staff at the reception desk however seems sometimes to be a bit reserved. Overall, you feel well cared for.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<table style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" align=\"center\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" href=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-eJhCZm5YUO0\/WLWSGerHITI\/AAAAAAAACWo\/0mQTdbv9KhM3M_fhyP-ve0KYg9G-BxocwCEw\/s1600\/DSC_2995.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-eJhCZm5YUO0\/WLWSGerHITI\/AAAAAAAACWo\/0mQTdbv9KhM3M_fhyP-ve0KYg9G-BxocwCEw\/s400\/DSC_2995.JPG\" width=\"400\" height=\"263\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;\">View from restaurant La Goelette toward Grand Baie<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<div><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Food\"><\/span><strong><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;\">Food<\/span><\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<div><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;\">There is the option to be on half board at Royal Palm, which we made use of it and found it a great thing. <br class=\"avia-permanent-lb\" \/><br class=\"avia-permanent-lb\" \/><\/span><\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;\">Breakfast and dinner take place at La Goelette, the main restaurant in a stunning setting overlooking the bay.

Everything is tasty and of high quality. For dinner, there is an exquisite five-course meal. The food is one of the best I ever had at a hotel. The cuisine is creative, but not too much so. The chef \u2013 a Frenchman \u2013 is a true artist in his field, every dish we had was a feast for the eyes and the palate. Alternatively, dinner can be taken at La Brezza, an Italian restaurant, which is also nice, but we preferred La Goelette. <br class=\"avia-permanent-lb\" \/><br class=\"avia-permanent-lb\" \/><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">The idyllically located Le Bar Plage under a huge tropical tree on the beach is the place for either a quick (for us) or a leisurely lunch.
