Dining, pools and the beach
Dining & bars
A few venues take reservations, the rest are walk-in
Official and Expedia sources describe world-class dining and six restaurants; Reddit evidence is mixed on food variety.
Pools & waterplay
With waterslides
Expedia lists three outdoor pools and a children's pool with a waterslide.
The beach itself
Guests frequently praise the beach and water, but Reddit reports seasonal seaweed and variable surf.
- Caveat: Water conditions vary through the year
- Caveat: Sargassum seaweed lands seasonally, raked daily
Counts come from the resort's own published information; the scores are ours, from the Palmprint file below.
Who fits where at Beach Palace
All 8 categories, from the resort's own accommodations pages. The figures are the comparison: how many the room takes, against the most this property puts in any one key. Where a category carries no figures, the resort does not publish an occupancy for it, which at villa tier usually means it is set when you book.
| Suite | Occupancy | Size | Bedrooms | Aspect |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Superior Honeymoon Suite | Sleeps 2 | 441 ft²41 m² | 1 bedroom | Ocean |
| Concierge Level | Sleeps 2 | 441 ft²41 m² | 1 bedroom | Ocean, Floors 5-10 |
| Superior Ocean View Suite | Sleeps 5 | 635 ft²59 m² | 1 bedroom | Ocean |
| Superior Luxury Governor Suite | Sleeps 5 | 635 ft²59 m² | 1 bedroom | Ocean |
| Superior Family Deluxe Suite | Sleeps 7 | 883 ft²82 m² | 2 bedrooms | Lagoonconnecting |

| Superior Deluxe Ocean View | Sleeps 4 | Not published | 1 bedroom | Ocean |
| Superior Deluxe Lagoon View | Sleeps 4 | Not published | 1 bedroom | Lagoon |
Occupancy is the maximum published occupancy including rollaways, not comfortable occupancy. Categories and occupancy change with renovations, and connecting rooms are usually request-only, so confirm when you book.

The rate, and where to check it
Our tracker samples real rates for a two-adult, 7-night stay on a rotating schedule, so the number below is a checked price with a date on it, not a teaser. The channels underneath price the same stay; a few minutes across them is routinely worth a night's rate.
Per-person figures assume two sharing. Taxes and fees vary by channel, so compare the final screen, not the first one.

Temperature barely moves here across the year, so rain is the whole decision: the wet months run Jun to Oct. Hurricane season is real here: about 1 in 6 Octobers sees one pass within 100 miles, most recently Beryl in 2024.
