I finally had the pleasure of staying at Palm Grove Resort after many years of recommending it to clients. The experience did not disappoint as all my expectations were met. We stayed in the three bedroom beach villa. The kitchen was well equipped with everything that you need to take care of your own meals and there was ample space for the 6 of us. ||The kids (5 and 3) enjoyed the beach, and we all agreed it was the best beach on the whole island. There were many hours also spent in the small pool set back in the garden on the other side of the road. ||One thing that struck me in talking to other guests is this is a place that guests return to year on year. One guest commenting "it feels like coming home." ||It's important to set realistic expectations. Yes, there is paint chipping and yes, the furniture is a little dated however the resort is scheduled for a renovation at the end of 2025 so it will be nice to see it freshened up. Look past the paint chips and you will find a comfortable, clean and affordable place to enjoy the sun and sand.

We spent a wonderful 2 weeks at Palm Grove. We stayed in a garden bungalow and it was great, we really enjoyed the patio space. The pool area is absolutely beautiful and the grounds are beautifully maintained. The beach is gorgeous and safe for swimming. You can borrow snorkel gear and kayaks. We rented our moped here and that was super convenient. The wifi is not included but it’s super inexpensive and they have great promos at the front desk (you can use the code at hot spots around the island too). The breakfast was great: lots of fresh fruit, yogurt with cereal, and the scones and banana bread were delicious. You can pay to upgrade to a hot breakfast if you’d like, but we found the continental breakfast perfect so we never did. We also attended the Sunday night BBQ twice and it was fantastic: delicious meat options, tons of salads, dessert, live music and a great atmosphere. The location is perfect. Wigmores Supermarket is only a short walk away, has everything you need, and is open 24 hours. Other beautiful beaches are close by as are plenty of food options. Big thank you to Mama Tum and Kitty for taking such good care of us. We had a wonderful time and would be delighted to come back someday. Thank you!

A lovely spot. beds and pillows are comfy. Pool is very nice. Centrally located with a 24 store just own the road. Front desk is very helpful with vodefone and trips and tours|Breakfast is simple, cereal, toast, cakes and yogurt and fruit, scones were very good, coffee tea and juice. There is a restaurant on site, and bus stops just out front. A bus pass is 35.00 for 10 rides. They also have a washer and dryer on site.

Spent a great 3 nights at Palm Grove. The location is perfect if you hire a car as the buses are slow and run on island time. We found all the staff great and very welcoming. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The breakfast included is a bit deceiving, the continental breakfast is free, different types of breads, condiments, cereals and fresh fruit and yogurt but the cooked breakfast is extra. Wifi is not included.

I really enjoyed both the meal and the relaxed, welcoming environment. The food was delicious and the setting added to the overall experience.||||While the service was a little on “island time,” it honestly added to the charm and laid-back vibe of the place. I still had a lovely evening and appreciated the warm atmosphere.||||Thank you, Kitiana & Palm Grove, for a great night—I truly enjoyed my time and look forward to visiting again!

It was a lovely place and lovey staff APART from BETSY the owner. She was horrible to my family and friends. Our first encounter with Betsy was on the first day. We were politely trying to book a shuttle and told her it was a group booking and she proceeded to scold my mother. This was very unprofessional and uncomfortable and just plain rude. A couple days later, she was fuming at my family friend who is 11 yrs old. All because a dog had followed us inside. But she seems to have cat food all over the resort. I am aware that it is completely okay to not like having dogs in her resort but she could've approached it in a different matter to a CHILD. Other than this it was a very good place to say as it has a great location, delicious meals, and homely rooms.
