Review: (Palm Beach Hotel and
Resort)
The Palm Beach Hotel is on a surprisingly picturesque
site - where the meandering Kotu Stream enters
the sea - on a sand-&-mud ridge between the sands
and swamp.
In 1996 construction began in this area and the accommodation
finally opened for its first guest arrivals in Christmas
of 2001. The end product of the many years of building
is a fine hotel placed within lush gardens of dense
flowering bushes, fruit trees and palms. The decor
and atmosphere in the public areas is a lot more African
in feel than the other accommodations Kotu. However,
the interiors of the suits are distinctly European.
You can reach Palm Beach from the Badala Park on a
295 metre gravel road that merges into the resort's
red brick-walled pathways and carries on to the beachfront.
The entrance passageway splits the sizable reception
lounge (decorated by the Senegalese Mor Fayemurf's
Afro-Picasso mural) from the table d'hotel restaurant
called Nabus. The lounge opens up onto the
'Duke Ellington piano bar' and to a courtyard bar
and 'Art Gallery'.
On the upper level is a conference hall, nightclub
and a la carte restaurant.
Dinner at the resort is served by the poolside with
a range of options every week from International,
Italian or seafood buffet to barbeque.
The swimming pool - an angular hourglass shape with
a shallow wooden bridge crossing - is predictably
between the bedrooms and the Atlantic Ocean. Bedecked
in soft-pink tiles and blue canvass sun loungers.
An entertainment stage resides at the faraway end
while built in table regimentally line the walls.
The bedrooms are in octagonal villas in two-tier units
spaced out within the jungly gardens. Four up 4 down
with private veranda and staircase; red roofed and
white-walled with canary coloured balustrades ringed
by colourful flowering plants. The rooms are single
or double with double beds, white
lincrusta walls; tinted patio windows and doors; built-in
wardrobes, split-level shower and toilet; television
and a remote controlled
air conditioning unit. |
