8/10
Red Palm is glamping. Stayed with my wife, daughter, and sister in law.
PROS:
Very nice indoor/outdoor floor plan
Staying in nature - iguanas, black and orange birds, etc.
Excellent bathroom--shower has good water pressure and drainage
Modern kitchen
Very nice patio area with table
Lovely non-chlorinated pool
Have movie night once a week--excellent projector and sound system (although film about holocaust...)
Excellent central location: 10 min from wild flamingo area (awesome); horse ranch; and outstanding mangrove kayak tour. Another 10 min down the road is a very beautiful part of Lac Bay.
CONS:
- Frozen meat in the refrigerator when we arrived. Staff cleaned it promptly when asked.
- There is a $65 mandatory cleaning fee due at the location. It would be much better if that $65 could be included in the total charge we pay up front.
- Limited to no laundry service. While we wash our clothes by hand, it's nice to have a few things washed in a real machine from time to time.
- There are a few bugs--some quite large. Must keep AC on at night (28 deg celsius good) to avoid them when sleeping.
- Somehow, our AC got turned off and would not turn on for a couple days. Again, staff fixed it quickly when asked.
- You may find yourself taking a shower with a lizard or frog. After a few screams we realized they are friendly and they became part of the family.
Unique and recommended!
