Royal Poinciana Plaza has been written up as “a leading lifestyle destination in Palm Beach”, a town where art and culture thrive, beautiful white sandy beaches, world-class restaurants, internationally known golf courses, world-famous designer boutiques, and the renowned Breakers Hotel whose golf course is across the street from Royal Poinciana Plaza. Palm Beach is the home to celebrities and many international “rich and famous” folks, members of many charitable causes.
