"Beachfront Bungalow"

10.0

Liked the area, it was a little quieter and the resort being smaller meant a more intimate experience. Yes a car or scooter is ideal but no issues with the busses.

The wind coming up later in our stay, but that can't be helped!!!

"Delicious meal & relaxed environment!"

10.0

I really enjoyed both the meal and the relaxed, welcoming environment. The food was delicious and the setting added to the overall experience. While the service was a little on “island time,” it honestly added to the charm and laid-back vibe of the place. I still had a lovely evening and appreciated the warm atmosphere. Thank you, Kitiana & Palm Grove, for a great night—I truly enjoyed my time and look forward to visiting again!

"Beachfront"

8.0

I finally had the pleasure of staying at Palm Grove Resort after many years of recommending it to clients. The experience did not disappoint as all my expectations were met. We stayed in the three bedroom beach villa. The kitchen was well equipped with everything that you need to take care of your own meals and there was ample space for the 6 of us. The kids (5 and 3) enjoyed the beach, and we all agreed it was the best beach on the whole island. There were many hours also spent in the small pool set back in the garden on the other side of the road. One thing that struck me in talking to other guests is this is a place that guests return to year on year. One guest commenting "it feels like coming home." It's important to set realistic expectations. Yes, there is paint chipping and yes, the furniture is a little dated however the resort is scheduled for a renovation at the end of 2025 so it will be nice to see it freshened up. Look past the paint chips and you will find a comfortable, clean and affordable place to enjoy the sun and sand.

A lovely spot. beds and pillows are comfy. Pool is very nice. Centrally located with a 24 store just own the road. Front desk is very helpful with vodefone and trips and tours Breakfast is simple, cereal, toast, cakes and yogurt and fruit, scones were very good, coffee tea and juice. There is a restaurant on site, and bus stops just out front. A bus pass is 35.00 for 10 rides. They also have a washer and dryer on site.

"Excellent"

Palm Grove was good for what it is, but can tell the garden rooms dont get as much love as the beach villas. The staff are friendly and the breakfast is convenient but its not luxury if thats what you're after

"Absolute Beachfront Bungalow - amazing snorkelling at your feet"

10.0

Absolute beachfront bungalow! Best snorkelling right out the front of our bungalow. We swam with a green sea turtle right out the front. Bungalow is lovely Polynesian decor, needs a little updating but we have heard that’s coming this year. Great little kitchenette with 4 burner and microwave, good sized new fridge. Across the road and down from Wigmores Superstore with well priced supplies if you like to cook some nights to save $. Free snorkel gear and kayaks. Staff amazing! So friendly and nothing was a problem. Yellow Hibiscus restaurant well priced and excellent food. BBQ night on Sundays is a must plus happy hour Fridays with live music and free house wine and local beer. I can honestly say it was a wonderful boutique resort that we would stay at again.

"Paradise."

10.0

A beautiful location. We have visited Palm Grove six times over the last 20 years & it’s one of the best on the island. Quiet & picturesque with a fabulous private beach just across the road. Staff are friendly & helpful & the Yellow Hibiscus restaurant has lovely food with generous portions & reasonable prices.

Breakfast could have been better. Although included in the cost of accommodation, it was rather too basic. Only white sliced bread with sometimes scones & a slice of cake. There was a choice of fruit (mostly tinned) & cereals. It was the only thing which was disappointing in an otherwise excellent place to stay.
