This was our second stay at the Palm Bungalows and again we had an excellent time. The bungalows are spacious and comfortable, with a nice private terrace. The bungalows are very close to the beach and all water sports. Only a 10 minute walk from the marina. Some excellent restaurants and bars on site.

Bungalows are quiet and private. Shower was excellent. Pool and beach were top rate. Staff was lackluster. Buggies are too expensive. Public shuttle was great but the stops are poorly designed for convenience. Cuca Chu restaurant was very good; make a reservation.

The room was clean and comfortable but I think a round dining table would have been a better arrangement than the sofa lounge next to the TV. Glass sliding doors were not clean. Everything else was very good.

Central location with a number of pools to choose from. Close to beach and walking trails. Great to have access to a 24/7 gym. Would have been handy to know renovations were taking place and the swim up bar closed as a result.
