We have stayed many times at the Hilton Royal Palm and always love it. We stayed in the West Wing which tends to be quieter at night. Resort is clean and well kept, staff is very friendly and helpful and it is conveniently located to many restaurants. It’s not on the best beach on the island but it’s still fine especially for kids.

It's a nice resort with a beautiful view of the boats. There was a beach but the water was rocky with seaweed and was more of a harbor/marina feel. The staff was very nice but the concierge was extremely pushy about trying to get us to go to their 90 minute presentation, even after we said we weren't interested. It was really offputting, so instead of feeling like we could go ask the concierge for recommendations in the area, we avoided eye contact with her the whole time. Also, the nightclub Nowhere Special across the street was extremely loud every night from 9pm to after 2am. The room we were in was so loud it was like they were in our living room. I wouldn't stay there again unless I was guaranteed a room without the noise!

The location is super convenient for everything, whether walking to restaurants or getting to other parts of the island. Room was spotless and well laid out and the views of the Caribbean sunset from the balcony couldn’t be better. Staff was amazing and on site restaurant was very good as well. We rented a car and parking was included and secure. I would stay here again but be warned it can be loud late into the night from the bar across the street. Especially Sunday night ironically.

The stay was amazing! We were told when we arrived that our room was owned by a time share, and that we may have needed to move a coupe days into the trip. The hotel remedied this by offering an upgraded room and voucher for food at the restaurant for the inconvenience. We eventually didn’t need to move and were able to enjoy every amenities and the great view of the ocean water! Would very much recommend. The view was so beautiful!
