For our anniversary this year, my wife and I enjoyed a stay at the Royal Palms Resort where we enjoyed two delicious breakfasts at T Cook's along with a wonderful dinner to celebrate.
For the dinner, we arrived to a decorated table with rose petals in the shape of a heart, which was a thoughtful gesture when they knew we were celebrating our anniversary. I ordered a tasty steak dish with corn, potatoes, and sauce, all which complemented each other greatly. I would certainly order this again though the menu has changed and new steak dishes are being offered. My wife ordered a salmon dish with sauce, greens, and potatoes, which she really enjoyed. Also offered on the menu are some incredible desserts which now include maple bread pudding, chocolate peanut butter parfait, poire noisette, royal tiramisu palms sundae, limoncello creme brulee, and house made gelato and cookies. For our anniversary, we received a complimentary special chocolate cake with a special message in chocolate sauce.
For our breakfasts, we had the choice of lighter brunch options, many breakfast entrees, soups, salads, sandwiches, and lunch entrees. For both days, my wife ordered an omelette while I had a breakfast burrito while we both ordered juices and shared a fruit plate. Many hotel reservations using the Hyatt Priveé, American Express's Fine Hotels + Resorts, and Hyatt Globalist programs include complimentary breakfast for two.
We made reservations for breakfast and dinner using Open Table, which recently awarded T Cook's with the Open Table Diner's Choice 2024 award. There are indoor and outdoor dining options. Brunch is served daily from 6:30 AM to 1:30 PM while dinner is served daily from 5:30 PM to 9 PM (though on Fridays and Saturdays, it closes a half hour later at 9:30 PM). A fun thing to notice is that the dining room has the original Royal Palms trees right there which go right through the roof. There is also a nice, outdoor patio.
We also learned that T Cook's supports the Mix Up Bar, which offers mixology classes and also the Cabana Cafe by the pool. Cabana Cafe includes shared plates, salads, entrees, kids' meals, cocktails, and other drinks. I'll write a separate review for the Mix Up Bar later, which was also a favorite spot of ours on our visit.
