c-leg5 Posted April 14, 2016 #2 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Considering Palm Court garden for our upcoming cruise. Any opinions about good or bad for spending the day there appreciated. ( Been to St. Kitts before and done the tours ) Thanks...:) We had a relaxing day there a few weeks ago. We walked to and from the property with no issues. Claudia was very helpful with communications before we went. We had specific loungers reserved as advised. When we arrived the loungers were reserved as requested. The property is not very big and was quite full the day we were there. Many of the guests were staff from the ship. It was very hot but also quite windy. If you want a quiet relaxing day by the pool, with a book this is ideal. There is a small garden area to view, food and restaurant area looked good, (but we didn't eat), bar by the pool. The only negative was the pool was really cold and I usually enjoy a pool, after the initial shock! It was an easy and cost effective excursion on a port intensive cruise and I am sure we will return again in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toes_in_sand Posted April 14, 2016 #3 Share Posted April 14, 2016 We found out about Palm Court Gardens on one of our stops on our food tour. Loved the gardens and the views. Have gone back since. The only downfall was the water was too cold the last time we were there. Go early as the place started to fill up with ship crew by early afternoon.

mrpayroll Posted April 14, 2016 Author #4 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Thanks to both of you for your input. Just wondering why the pool would be cold ? We will be there on May 4th. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-leg5 Posted April 14, 2016 #5 Share Posted April 14, 2016 (edited) Thanks to both of you for your input. Just wondering why the pool would be cold ? We will be there on May 4th. :) Not sure why the water was so cold and strange that the other poster thought this too. I was there beginning of April and although the day was very hot I thought perhaps there hadn't been sufficient hot days preceding but now I wonder if it is always like that. I think it is something I might ask about next time I emailed. Claudia seemed very responsive to emails so maybe she could say if it is always cold or if it is certain times of the year? Pity because it was a nice pool and lots of people having photos at the edge of the infinity pool with the view but they were all shivering!

OCruisers Posted April 14, 2016 #6 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Thanks very much for this post! We are seriously going to Palm Court on our port stop in January to have something different to do this time in St. Kitts. Would going there still be enjoyable without getting into the pool?

LuLu If you are looking for a relaxing place with nice view close to the port I think you would enjoy it. Other people have recommended restaurant but I cannot vouch for that. There is no entertainment there other than piped music so you need to take something to read, or listen to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was about a 10-15 minute walk from the cruise port. The only negative was the speed of their free wi fi, but that wont stop me from returning.

LuLu You should not have a problem getting a taxi at the cruise port. It should be very short ride. Does the Palm Garden site list the cost of a taxi from the port?

As stated earlier in this thread, another poster and myself found the water extremely cold - not just the kind of cold that you feel when you get in initially. I visited at the beginning of April, maybe it improves as the season goes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
