So often you doubt the praises from a traveler. But this hotel deserves all the top stars awards. EVERYONE, literally everyone was so gracious polite and welcoming. From the front desk, to the staff during breakfast, and even the men maintaining the grounds. It should be noted this hotel is secluded from a “town” and clearly designed for families with children. But we absolutely loved our entire experience with Palm River. Loved it

Was good in general, Do you want? The hotel recommended we did the early morning safari in the day of our checkout so that we have plenty of time prior to checkout. The Safari booked by the hotel was a private Safari and it was a disaster because their vehicle broke down which caused delays for the checkout and there was no leniency in terms of checkout by the manager. literally people were standing at our doors to make sure that we come out of the room and that really caused an unsatisfactory ending
