The programme has been a resounding success to date, the benefits of which can been seen through the satisfaction of our repest visitors.<\/p>\n<p>In March, the first phase of the Royal Palm\u2019s ongoing environmental project begun, which saw the replacement of every single light bulb in the building &#8211; from the rooms to the parkade, the external areas and the Restaurant. This energy efficiency programme was aimed at reducing the Hotel\u2019s electricity consumption, by almost half, without reducing the overall lighting look and feel, and it was a phenomenal success in reducing the Hotel\u2019s carbon footprint.<\/p>\n<p>While most of the country was wrapped up warmly and staying indoors this past July, Durban came alive with a host of exciting events, including The Vodacom Durban July, The Mr Ballito Pro, The Durban Boat &amp; Lifestyle Show and the East Coast Radio House &amp; Garden Show to name a few, which resulted in a bumper month for the Hotel.<\/p>\n<p>2019 saw some staff members move on, and new teams forming to ensure greater levels of customer service, and all this without skipping a beat. Our Restaurant patio area was upgraded, to create a more welcoming and dynamic seating area, allowing guests greater comfort in our outdoor space.<\/p>\n<p>From our team to you, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year, and hope to see you soon.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Simon Bailey<\/strong><br \/> <em>General Manager<\/em><br \/> <em>Royal Palm Hotel<\/em><\/p>\n<p>CLICK HERE to submit your press release to MyPR.co.za.<\/p>\n<p><small><strong>Source:<\/strong> <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" href=\"http:\/\/mypr.co.za\/from-the-desk-of-the-gm\/\">MyPR<\/a><\/small><br \/>\n<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/mypr.co.za\/submit\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Submit your own Press Release<\/a> or get free content for your publication.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Video &#8211; How to post your Press Release on MyPR:<\/strong><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"700\" height=\"394\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9ovzdChGkuU\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><small>My Press Release (MyPR) provides free South African targeted content and press releases for on and off line publishers and media.
