Scuba Diving
Did you already know that St. Croix is home to some of the best scuba diving in the Caribbean? The best way to see if Scuba Diving is something you'd like to learn to try it. In collaboration with S.C.U.B.A., our preferred dive partner on St. Croix, guests at The Palms have the opportunity to "Discover Scuba" with a free session. Depending on your comfort level, beginners can start in our fresh water pool or in the shallow ocean water. If you enjoy the lesson and want more, S.C.U.B.A. will apply your lesson as a credit toward the certification requirements to become an open-water diver.

Snorkeling on St. Croix
No need to pack your own snorkel gear when The Palms has fins, snorkels and masks for guests to use. Our friendly staff are happy to lend these to you, help you find the right fit, and give you some tips on snorkeling the fringes of Long Reef, which is just a few yards off shore. Most afternoons, hotel owner and environmental enthusiast Chuck Fischer leads interested hotel guests on a guided snorkel tour of our reef. Once you get the hang of it, consider signing up for a St. Croix Snorkeling excursion with S.C.U.B.A. or another tour operator.
You can let the front desk know you are interested.
Yoga on St. Croix
All experience levels are welcome (including first timers)! Both physically and mentally relaxing, yoga is offered regularly on the beach at The Palms. Our preferred yoga instructor from Irie Yoga will lead a series of poses and breathing exercises that will get your heart rate up and your mind quieted down. After working up a sweat, jump into the Caribbean Sea for the ultimate relaxtion. There is a nominal fee for yoga. Look for updated schedules in your guest room or in the lobby.
Tennis
A Klaycote tennis court is available for hotel guests. Complimentary tennis racquets and tennis balls can be requested at the front desk.
 Try yoga on the beach, offered several mornings each week.
 Endangared sea turtle
See more pictures in the scrapbook. Turtle Watch (seasonal)
Each spring, the endangered giant leatherback, the small green turtle, and the distinctive hawksbill turtles emerge from the sea, scoop out the sand, and lay their eggs. In the months that follow, thousands of two-inch turtles make a mad dash to the sea. During summer months, guests can participate in periodic nighttime turtle watches, sponsored by the St. Croix Environmental Association. This activity is based on space availability and, of course, depends on the turtles!
Wireless Internet Access
We have wireless internet access in the Lobby, Pool and Restaurant areas of our hotel.
