My recent stay at the Royal Palm Hotel was extremely disappointing, especially considering the price point. The rooms were poorly maintained, visibly run-down, and not properly cleaned. Basic facilities such as the toilets were not functioning reliably, which made the stay uncomfortable from the start. While I must acknowledge that the staff tried their best to assist, the overall condition of the property reflects a lack of proper management and upkeep.
As a long-standing Expedia customer, I believe there is also a responsibility on Expedia to ensure that the hotels listed on their platform meet reasonable quality standards. I ended up leaving the hotel two days earlier than planned because the conditions were simply unacceptable. Despite having prepaid through Expedia, I was informed that the booking was non-refundable, forcing me to incur additional costs to secure alternative accommodation.
I would strongly encourage Expedia to review this property and implement stronger customer protections so travelers are not placed in similar situations. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend this hotel.

This was for a 2 night stay for Carnival 2026, so maybe the hotel is better at other times. Maybe there's been a downturn in visitor numbers which affects income, I don't know. What I do know is that, as it currently stands, I wouldn't encourage anyone to stay there unless there is no alternative.
This is real shame, as the location is a good one. Not too far from downtown PoS and a variety of shops within walking distance, especially food.
The lobby is 4 easy chairs and a TV high on the wall. That's it. My room, although a good size, was in desperate need of refurbishment and looked like it hadn't been touched in decades. The light switches were a concern, especially the one for the bathroom. The room looked dirty and there was a leak from the bathroom sink. There was an old top sheet on the bed, which matched the curtains. Patched and old. Weak WiFi in the lobby only. For a room that had been 'refreshed' just before I arrived, diabolical is the only word I can use.
Of the staff I had interactions with, I want to praise Giselle and her colleague who covered the night shift. They went above and beyond for me.
I really hope the owners can turn this site around, but for now, as at 18/2/26, avoid.

I enjoyed my stay and the bed was very comfortable. But I was very disappointed in the Wi-Fi connection. The Wi-Fi connection didn’t connect in my room. They definitely need to invest in a stronger Wi-Fi connection for the whole hotel property.

Homeless in TnT
This was a last minute booking during Carnival. It worked out but the bathroom needed a deep cleaning. No wifi in the room!!! You need to goto the lobby for a strong signal. If you need wifi PASS on this place. Or work in the lobby.

The property is not well maintained at all. There was no trash can in our room, so we had to save trash in a plastic bag we had. We told this to the person at the front desk, who had no response. The rooms were not well cleaned, and everything is old and pretty beat-up. We were lucky to find a place for Carnival, but it was way too expensive for what was provided and not a nice place to stay.

Cleanliness is the biggest issue here. Towels are stained, floor is dusty, bedlinen stained, etc. condition of all appliances are old and unhygienic, eg timescale stains in kettle and iron. It appears that the management do not care about the condition and cleanliness of anything. Will not recommend to anyone.

A resort of last resort
The only positive about the room was the AC. The only positive about the hotel was the niceness of the Manager and front desk staff. The hotel is very run down; old tv with 3 channels; bad shower drainage; old and holed stained towels; very poor WiFi; no restaurant and nowhere close for breakfast; no coffee machine; no ironing board; no safe; old bedding; no hairdryer; no toiletries except soap; dodgy door lock no secondary door chain to the outside although there is a security guard. It's a very basic Hotel that jacked up their room rate to over $300 for carnival. It's not worth more than $50 per night. Not going back ever.

THE TOILET LEAKED THE WHOLE 5 DAYS, NEVER REPAIRED! TOWELS WERE BLEACHED-OUT WITH NO FACE-CLOTHS, ONLY BIG & SMALL TOWELS. THE WINDOWS COULD NOT FULLY CLOSE SO BUGS STAYED IN THE BATHROOM WHEN THE LIGHTS CAME ON. ONE NIGHT THE POWER WENT OUT 4X'S, THE LAST TIME BEING THE LONGEST-ABOUT 30MIN. THERE WAS NO STORMS. THE WEATHER WAS 75 DEGREES AT NIGHT. THERE WAS NO MICROWAVE ON THE PROPERTY TO WARM FOOD. IT WAS A HOTEL-NIGHTMARE

Severely Outdated, Not Safe, Not Clean,No Internet
Overall - 1/10 Bad. Paid $4k for 2 Rooms during Carnival. The good: close to food and the staff is friendly, that's it. The Bad: check-in process was efficient but not the greatest. I liked how they treated me like I was a member of their family - I felt welcomed and safe. At the room, entry door handle is shabby and anyone can access any room with a credit card -- huge red flag. Security is downstairs but he's not always there. They did their best to clean, but that was not enough. Spider cobwebs on the lamps, corners, and inside simple-to-reach places like the draws. Lots of draws and closet space but you can't use them because the wood is dilapidated. Phones and the internet in the rooms do not work. Sheets seemed new, but the comforters had rust stains. Bathroom is a nightmare. The shower curtain rings were super-super rusty, along with the water handles. The shower's hot water would turn cold mid-shower, and the water would not drain. Imagine trying to get clean after Jouvert and waiting for ankle-high water to drain so you can clean your feet. The toilet would not flush, so I had to be creative after each #2 -- flush a total of 3+ times until it all disappeared. Overall the hotel is in a state of disrepair or ruin as a result of age or neglect. I learned they've been closed down for a while but reopened about 9 months before Carnival to prepare for the crowd. This is not a hotel; it's more of a salvaged, outdated rental.

Please don't do this to your customers.
I never complain about any of your hotels, but this was the worse really the worse experience I have ever had with Expedia.
I paid $1,240.24 in advance. I did not sleep there one night. It was so terrible. You can check with the hotel and they will confirm you that I didn't sleep there. They probably sold the room again to someone else. I would put pressure on them to pay this back. Again. I'm not a complainer, but if you pay the amount $ 310.06 a night then you expect internet. NO. I had to pay $ 10,00 per day extra for the internet.

The only saving grace is the location.
Let's start with the ??? U.S./day/person internet charge for spotty internet. ??? TT deposit for a TV remote for a 19 inch, bad reception, 8 channel TV. The towels are old, discolored, and repaired with patches from older towels. No wash cloths (no I'm sorry, housekeeping did give me a cut up piece of towel to use as a wash cloth. Soap the size of a chocolate mint that the classy hotels put on your pillow. Pillows have old foam broken up inside for cushion. No microwave or fridge. Front desk staff will not let you use their microwave. No local phone service from the room. You can't even call the police or an ambulance. But they will let you use the desk phone in the lobby at ??? U.S./minute (quote when I called from my room), nope now it's ??? (50% more) U.S. per minute once I got to the desk. Everything is old and rusted. Sliding the chair on the floor in the room leaves rust stains on the floor. Good luck if your shower knobs work without sticking. Tub so old it can't get clean. Cloth shower curtains hold stains from the past guests. If you know what I paid per night, you would know it's price gouging at it's best (Expedia won't let me put the prices so I put question marks).

Decent hotel close to downtown/botanical gardens
The hotel is during some renovations to the outside, however some of the rooms are still a little dated. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I was there (Feb 8-13 for the Caribbean Festival. It was a cultural experience, I enjoyed my overall visit.
