We visited the One and Only The Palm to relax and decompress after an African safari and we weren’t disappointed. We arrived late evening and after a short check in and lovely refreshing drink were led to our room which was in the main building. We unpacked and went straight to bed. In the morning we had our first experience of the food available. The breakfast buffet was truly unbelievable, it contained everything you could want. On top of that was a menu you could order other specific items from plus daily special items. The service was exemplary from start to finish and all the staff seemed to genuinely enjoy looking after us. We spent our 3 full days by the pool and/or on the beach. This hotel is a quiet place with lots of space so it always felt very special wherever we were. It seems everyone gets complimentary half board which is great for the hotel as you buy more drinks when eating in but also great for the guest as you have three great places to eat. We ate dinner in both 101 and Zest and the food was exceptional in both. The portions are large so bear that in mind. We did not eat at the fine dining restaurant Stay by Yannick Alleno but were told by others it was lovely. The drinks cost as much as any other big hotel but you don’t get the wonderful surroundings at most other places. The hotel building itself is magnificent. I would say that if you do want to pay a lot for very expensive drinks you can do as the hotel caters for that, but regular cocktails, spirits and beer mostly compare with similar establishments. The beach was quiet with relatively few sun beds and cabanas which was great and despite the pool getting busy every now and again we always felt we had room to breathe and the service never faltered. We stayed in a Palm Manor premier room which is the smallest available however it was beautiful and luxurious and more like a suite. It had everything we needed. The staff made sure we were happy throughout our stay and were very attentive without being intrusive. All in all it was a wonderful place to stay and we recommend it. Five stars. Read less
