Royal Palms Resort & Spa

Fodor's Review:

Once the home of Cunard Steamship executive Delos T. Cooke, this Mediterranean-style resort has a stately row of the namesake palms at its entrance, courtyards with fountains, and individually designed rooms. Deluxe casitas are all different, though they follow one of three elegant styles -- trompe l'oeil, romantic retreat, Spanish colonial. The restaurant, T. Cook's ($$$-$$$$), is renowned and the open-air Alvadora Spa, featuring 7 new spa suites, seems like it has every imaginable amenity, including an outdoor rain shower. In 2007, the resort unveiled its new Montavista collection of rooms, and suites featuring fireplaces and luxury amenities.

  • Hotel Details: 76 rooms, 62 suites, 44 casitas
  • In-room: safe, refrigerator, Internet, Wi-Fi.
  • In-hotel: restaurant, room service, bar, pool, gym, spa, laundry service, parking (paid), no-smoking rooms.
  • Credit Cards: AE, D, DC, MC, V
