Caribbean Palm Village Resort

Description:

• Close to Santa Anna Church, the three-story Caribbean Palm Village Resort rests in the town of Noord, a 15- to 20-minute walk inland from Palm Beach. Because units in this timeshare are completely sold out, vacation rentals are limited. The attractive Spanish mission-style buildings, first opened in 1987, feature white stucco walls, terra cotta tile roofs, and plenty of columns and arches. The spacious rooms feature cane and glass furniture, fabrics in soothing shades, and white tile floors. All units have roomy full bathrooms and queen- or king-size beds. Each studio has a kitchenette, and the airy, bright one- and two-bedroom suites come with full kitchens and sofa beds. Attractive gardens surround the two pool areas. Because the front pool is the center of activity, rooms adjacent to the back pool are quieter. The resort's a hike from the sea, but the beach shuttle is free.
