Palm question!

Hi,

I don't know much about palms/cycads, but I have some planted on some tropical (Nicaragua) property that I need advice with. Not sure about the cultivar, but have been told that they are dwarf palms (only growing to about 12-15 feet). They are planted about 5 feet from a pool and house patio. My question is about the nature of the root growth... do they have a tap root or will the roots spread horizontally in the future with the risk of root heave of structures?

Also any suggestions about any websites that feature central american plants /heat zone? I don't want to plant anything invasive to the region or a future liability.
