The Royal Palms is a beautiful property with many flowers, trees and well-manicured grounds. The hotel is a nice getaway and very quiet once on-site. Although a nice resort, I felt it to be a bit impersonal, from the front-desk staff to the waiters/waitresses. No one went out of their way to make you feel special - the service mentality... more

My husband and I stayed 3 nights at this charming resort earlier this week. Having read the previous posts by other travellers we did have high expectations, all of which were exceeded. The Spanish/Moorish designed space was full of "hidden" spots for enjoying the mountain views or stolen kisses. Fire pits with cozy cushions made it delightful to sit outside... more

We stayed here two nights and it was quite lovely. Bougainvillea and hibiscus; beamed ceilings and Spanish tile; lots of beautiful birds and nooks and crannies. We had a spa suite which looked out to a private courtyard with an outdoor fireplace. The hotel bar is charming and the dinner we had at TCooks was excellent. Try the paella. I... more

Beautiful, winding, quaint property with flowers everywhere~ Attentive staff and excellent food! We would definitely come back more

We enjoyed an amazing weekend at the Royal Palms. This place is magical. The grounds, the wonderful Alvadora spa, T. Cook's, pool area, etc.- all amazing! I couldn't imagine staying any where else in the area, but the Royal Palm. I hope this place made the cut for Conde Nast & Travel & Leisure. more

The place was right on from the moment we pulled up, iced water, helpful valet staff, room beyond expecations good ( how rare is that?), quiet AC, huge bath that you can watch TV from and even a little terrace. These people working here busted their butts to help you, even in 105 degree heat. Nothing was too much trouble... more

Hubby was on a business trip to Phoenix and we wanted to spend a few days together for our anniversary. We picked this hotel thanks to Trip Advisor and it was wonderful. The staff was attentive and charming, the property was intimate and private. Movie stars from the 40's and 50's used to escape Hollywood and stay at this very... more

We just returned from Royal Palms and loved every minute of it. Our only regret is that we didn't stay longer...The resort grounds are breathtaking and very romantic, landscaped with antiques and wonderful vegetation and the rooms (we stayed in the montavista suites) are amazing. We dined at T Cook and had a great dinner and also used the Alvadora... more

The hotel grounds and public space is beautiful...very nice to walk around or sit in the evening by a fountain and have a drink. The food absolutely outstanding...be sure to try the Mediterranean eggs for breakfast, a variation on Eggs Benedict. However, we stayed in a suite in the spa section that was expensive and strange: a small living room... more
