Palm Island in The Grenadines

The Fantastic Palm Island welcomed us with open arms, and we are so glad we chose it for our vacation.
Everything about it seemed to us to be special. What a fantastic place, especially if it is peace and quiet you are after. It is a secluded, private, hassle free resort, with a great beach, and palm trees set by a turquoise sea. If you don’t like the beach, then don’t go as the pool is on the small side, although to be fair, uncrowded due to the sheer lack of people!!

Our arrival set the scene for our vacation, as we were met on the jetty by four members of staff, including the manager, given cocktails, escorted to our room which was all very impressive. We were impressed by the staff, from the attention to detail in the room, to the way most members of staff greeted us by name – a small thing that makes a difference.

If you are going to Palm Island you must understand this is not the place to go if you want to be waited on hand and foot. It is not a five star, terribly smart, full 24 hour service, busy busy, need to be seen type of place.

I can list what Palm Island is outstanding for very easily, I’ve already mentioned a few of them.

If you want peace and quiet, no crowds at all, so you can unwind and relax properly. Perhaps you want to be able to roam about without restrictions either walking, jogging, or cycling, and be able to view wild life like iguanas, turtles, even humming birds.

Perhaps snorkelling is a priority, being able to easily reach world class reefs like the Tobago Cays, or you are a beach bum and like nothing better than feeling you are Robinson Crusoe on your own private island.

Maybe there comes a time on your vacation when you want to socialise with your fellow guests in a nice bar, and the interaction with the bar staff is important to your vacation, then for all these reasons Palm Island is ideal

Whilst accommodation and Food play a large part in any vacation, somehow their importance on Palm Island is secondary to the ‘holiday lifestyle’ you get on Palm Island. It’s not that they aren’t of high quality because the food is terrific especially in the evenings, with a different menu every night, and the rooms are lovely although air conditioning might be aproblem, somehow they take second place to all the other plusses.

Palm Island is definitely worth visiting.
