Palm Island is excellent. My husband and I have traveled all over the Caribbean and this is one of the nicest experiences that we have had. Extremely private and remote, wonderful beachfront suites, beautiful beach, excellent food, great management. No mosquitos while we were there in January. We thought it was great and would return.

We did not have any problems with insects. The food is excellent, probably the best I have had in the Caribbean outside of Biras Creek, BVI. An excursion to the Tobago Cays is a great idea and you can also arrange for a sunset sail. All of the rooms are approx. 3 years old, the property is well kept with beautiful flowers and is very scenic.
