Deluxe Palace Suite

The step up here is not floor area; the Panoramic Suite is bigger. It is where you are. These are the suites in the palace itself rather than in the guest wings, and they are the rooms the private tour walks people through. A living room with the ceiling height to match it, a king behind its own door, a bathroom with an oversized tub and a hot tub beside it.

The terrace looks out over the palms to the Gulf, which at the hour before dinner is the best 40 minutes of the day here. It connects to the Two Bedroom Palace Suite next door, which is how the same corner is taken by a larger party.
