OMG! What a wonderful place. You only watch commercials or movies about this island. Absolutely wonderful! There is nothing you shouldn't do while you are there…our favorite was the Catamaran day. Island hopping, snorkeling, and lunch!

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our few days at Palm Island Resort in the beautiful Grenadines where you can enjoy a truly unspoilt and authentic Caribbean experience. Having travelled extensively throughout the Caribbean, Palm Island reflects the genuine hospitality of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, the natural beauty of this region and the welcoming spirit from the resort staff. We were not disappointed with the unspoilt white sand beaches and the exquisite healing qualities of the Caribbean Sea where you can see every shade of blue and green. A bonus was absolutely no trace of sargassum seaweed which has been affecting the Caribbean region recently. Swimming, snorkelling and boating was breathtaking. What really makes Palm Island Resort special is the attention to service and sincere friendliness shown by the staff under the leadership of the General Manager Katie. Palm Island Resort undoubtedly is the right place to unwind, decompress and enjoy the eastern Caribbean rhythm, cuisine and of course some great rum tasting! We look forward to returning to this very special island in the not too distant future! Read less
