Palm Island and
the Palm Island Resort: Florida's Last True Out Island and Resort
continued from page 1
The Resort's Pirate
in Residence
This is probably one of the few resorts that can boast of having
its own pirate in residence roaming the grounds and bringing laughter
to all of its guests.
Randy "Redbeard the Pirate" Matthews is the resort’s
friendly pirate who is loved by all, particularly the kiddies.
In fact, we were informed that some of the children prefer Redbeard’s
entertaining singing with his scratchy voice than a visit to Disney!
This friendly wild-eyed singer with his huge arms covered with
tattoos and daggers in his leather boots can have everyone laughing
and stomping their feet as soon as he commences his performance.
Dining
If you are not in the mood to eat in, you can try the resort’s
Rum Bay Restaurant, or you can boat over to a Florida legend-Johnny
Leverocks. Both offer great food with a casually elegant setting.
However, what can be more hopelessly romantic than dinner by candlelight
in an enclosed screened veranda less than a few feet away from
the cool breezes of the Gulf of Mexico watching an awesome sunset.
As I am married to a great chef, there is nothing that would convince
me to substitute restaurant dining for Lily’s cuisine combined
with a good bottle of wine and Palm Island’s romantic elements.
As the French say, "chacun à son gout."
