The property was very nice. We have stayed here many times. The room was not the one we wanted. The air conditioner was broken in the rooms. They tried fixing it many time but, failed. The washing machine was broken. They fixed it. The dryer never worked. There was a door broken off in the bathroom.

We originally booked the studio room that said Ocean view and we found that Expedia was a little misleading on this as there is no balcony and no ocean view so we had to upgrade to a two bedroom suite.

The Hilton Royal Palm was wonderful the staff were very quick to help with any needs. I would have liked to see a larger pool area and maybe staff more on the beach serving drinks but overall we would return to the Hilton Royal Palm.

Our stay was overall very pleasant. The resort is in a very good location. There is a walkout from the pool area to a private section of beach which was perfect. Well maintained grounds and daily servicing on their pool. It was a very nice temperature but unfortunately a tad small and shallow for my tastes. When we needed to do laundry there was a first come first served area that had a few washers and dryers to use for free. Rooms have most of the items you need. Including pots, pans, coffee machine, all cups and plates you would need, a blender, cutting board, oven and microwave. So all in all a well stocked kitchen. Now for what was a bit frustrating…. Elevators had issues constantly which made it especially difficult for my mum who can’t walk easily and we were on the 3rd floor. Even tho I asked for an room easy for her to get to. The elevator issues lasted for almost the full two weeks we were there. Some days we had no elevator at all. Other times only one in use, only our last day were both elevators working. Granted they said we could use the service elevator but that was not reasonable for my poor mum who could barely walk and the service elevator was quite far away at the other end of the building. We were up at 7am most mornings and watched everyday how people would save the spots on the beach even tho signs say “no saving” and then they walk away and are gone forever. Bar drinks are not that good. Very weak. Food is sub par at the Cabana

The property and staff were outstanding. The only complaint is the bar directly across the street from the Royal Palm...Nowhere Special. This bar starts its music at approximately 9pm and continues through 2am. The music is so loud it is almost impossible to fall asleep and get some sleep. The hotel offers earplugs and is very sympathetic. This bar is essentially an outdoor venue, they seemingly have zero regard for anyone else except their customer base. We refused to patronize this business for obvious reasons. If you would like to have a restful sleep, think twice before you book.

Staff at this property were so incredibly friendly and helpful! From front desk staff to pool and everyone behind the scenes. The pool and beach areas were spotless and always enough towels and cocktails! Our 2 bedroom suite was large and comfy for 4 people and our view was fabulous. We received one clean during our stay. I would have liked a few more to help with towels and bathroom cleanliness...sand gets everywhere as you can imagine. Otherwise, would come back in a heartbeat! Thank you Hilton Royal Palm for a great week!

This property was close to so many things to do. They have security on site, so it is very safe. The staff were accommodating. There is a nightclub close, and we could hear the music until early morning hours in the second bedroom, so may want a noise machine or ear plugs if you get placed in a room that is close to the club. We enjoyed our stay immensely and will return next time to same resort. They have free onsite washer and dryers that were nice to have to keep up on laundry. This was our first time in St. Maarten and I feel this resort was the best option to make our stay memorable.
