My boyfriend and I booked our vacation through Royal Resorts for The Pelican...after reading some of the reviews we were a little skeptical but decided to try and make the best of it. I went onto the resorts website and preregistered so check in was a complete breeze. After the bellman took us to our room we thought here we... more

Just returned from a week stay at the Royal Palm St. Maarten. My thoughts are: Royal Palm Resort, Simpson Bay ...nice resort though a bit old... furnishings were new. We had a bit of a mosquito problem in our room, but a quick call to the front desk brought a can of flying insect spray that solved the problem. All... more

Our Pelican / St. martin experience was unlike any of the negative reviews we read. We had a great time. We were at the resort for two weeks - the last week of Aug and first week of Sept (wks 34 & 35). We exchanged through Interval International. We have been timeshare owners / traders for over 20 years. We... more

We went to Saint Martin for my sister's wedding and to be honest I have never been anywhere more beautiful. Since the rates were comparable to a middle of the road hotel I did not expect much. Boy was I surprised! For starters, the beach that the hotel is on is insanely beautiful. The sand is white and the water... more

Spent Aug 30th - Sept 6th, 2008 at the Atrium. Stayed on 8th floor with a good view of the lagoon and overlooking the pool. We stayed in a 2 bedroom unit, room 802. Unit was quite large and had everything we needed. Nice beach and the water was not rough considering 2 hurricanes in the general area. Free beach... more

I had read some of the reviews before we left and was a little worried about what our experience might be. It turned out OK, with only a few minor problems. We ended up in a room on the ground level with the view totally blocked by the new building they built. We were also right on the main road... more

Very good hotel. big room with a lot of space, nice view, private car park, good prices.....nothing to add!!!! more

My family of 3 stayed at the Royal Palm from Aug. 22 to Aug. 29 and had a wonderful stay. Our unit on the 3rd Floor had two bedrooms (both with king size beds) and spacious bathrooms. Kitchen is very up to date. Had problem with water leak in one bedroom and they switched us to another unit when it... more

My family of 4 and 2 other couples stayed at the Royal Palm Beach Resort for 14 days, 8-14 to 8-28, rented from a common friend two 2 bedroom apartments that were immaculate and recently upgraded everything worked, i mean everything, check in was a breeze staff is awesome, very courteous and helpful. We attended the time share presentation for... more

When we got to Saint Martin, we were tired of travelling and were really happy to arrive at the Azure in under 5 minutes. The breathtaking beach and bay were even more beautiful than any of the pictures on their website. We were instantly relaxed and blown away by the color of the water. The hotel is painted just the... more

Pelican Club Checking a horror 1 Hour.the staff takes care of problems and checks in all, 4 of them.They do not have the rooms ready, even for owners. It takes 3 days to figure out what is going on on the premises. Once you do you are fine. So I am saying you need 10 days. I never got to... more

We flew into St. Maarten from San Diego, with a stop on the way in Philadelphia. We arrived into the hotel and check in was a breeze. Maybe a five minute wait. The staff wasn't overly friendly, but I think that's just a cultural difference and your own definition of customer service. They did their job, and definitely were not... more

I used this affordable and well-run hotel as my base for a 10 day vacation in St Maarten. Convenient access to both a beach and the real world is part of what makes this hotel enjoyable. I see it as a good choice for independent travellers. It's a decent hotel, especially for the price you pay. You get a two-room... more

Upon Arrival, we had some trouble finding the main checkin facility (right next door to Casino) it is different from the Residences, anyhow, our room in C Building was a dugeon and smelled musty (C1B). We complained and were moved to B Building (B227), much better and closer to the rest of resort. Staff was very hospitable and friendly. Not... more

My husband, another couple, and I stayed at the Royal Palm for a week. The staff was exceptional, pleasant, and helpful. The check-in process was smooth and quick. We had a spacious 2 bedroom with modern appliances and a beautiful view from the living room and master bedroom. The kitchen and bathrooms were granite and marble. Our toaster didn't work... more

The Royal Palm is a nice place with beautiful views and spacious rooms. The only problems we had with the room were the bed (very uncomfortable) and the shower water pressure (you had to stand under the water for 30 minutes just to get wet). I would not recomend this hotel for young couples or honeymooners (we are both). There... more

My wife and I stayed at this hotel from August 10, 2008 through August 14, 2008 in room B-259. Although my stay had its highs and lows, I would stay here again. My stay at the Pelican Resort did not get off to a good start. First, two weeks before we arrived I had written a letter to the hotel... more

After reading all the reviews we were a bit tentative about where our room would be. We had B204, a studio with plenty of space for 2, for the week of August 2 and it was excellent. No bugs as we read about earlier. We had a great view from the balcony as our unit was in the building on... more

As we approached this Restaurant Ship in Simpson Bay, we were skeptical at first but there was this friendly man (Phil) that greeted my 3 other girlfriends assuring us we wouldn't be disappointed....we were so HAPPY we stayed and gave it a try. There's Indoor and outdoor dining with a panoramic view of the Lagoon, it was so pretty...we ate... more
