After staying at the Royal Palm for more than a month, and having travelled round the world and stayed in some pretty darn fancy hotels, I would rate the Royal Palm top in its class. It's not a big resort. It's not a boutique thingamajiggy. It's a really nicely run small hotel that fights far above its weight class. I still have the signed mug the staff gave for my goodbye party. Tisha, Marie, Devon and Alton (and a few names I can't read anymore!) came and threw the guest -- someone who loves Briland but ain't a personage of note -- a farewell party. They put together a perfect little outside office me as I had to -- GASP -- work during much of my stay. I never had a problem with the wifi. One of my favorite moments-- Easter was coming. One of the cleaning staff asked if I wanted any hot cross buns. I wisely said yes. She brought me a pan of the most enormous and most delicious hot cross buns ever -- anywhere! Why brother and I gave half the tray away to neighbors as we knew we couldn't eat them all. If you love the Bahamas or love doing something your more boring friends might not be willing to try this is the place to stay for a long time. I won't tell you how much I paid but it cost me less than living in Washington DC! I live in Australia now so I don't get to the Bahamas as often as I did before moving, but I'll be back in 2025!
