Set on 5 acres of private beach and tropical gardens in Vaima, Palm Grove features free kayaking and snorkelling equipment. A private balcony or patio with ocean or garden views is standard in all rooms. Liked the area, it was a little quieter and the resort being smaller meant a more intimate experience. Yes a car or scooter is ideal but no issues with the busses.
