Property is close to the airport. The grounds, pool, private beach were very clean. Check in and out were super easy and fast! Shout out to Casey and the other attendant that wore funky glasses at the front desk. Generally all the front desk ladies are great! There was also a guy that worked nights that was great as well. The ladies at the laundry need communication work. Their attitude was off. There’s someone at the tour desk/time share desk that was too harassing. She needs to ask once and not multiple times. That was very annoying. The room was FANTASTIC! I needed more time there. 2 bdrm, 2 full baths, full balcony, full kitchen. Worth it! You can buy groceries on property or at nearby grocery and stock your cabinets/fridge. The hotel has activities, but the best activities are off the property and in walking distance. Even one directly across the street. There’s so much within walking distance. Taxis are also cheap.

We had an amazing time at the property. It’s very quaint and perfect for families. The most attractive thing was that it is in the middle of the nightlife, casinos and restaurants. Most convenient. I typically prefer hotels and not timeshares, but the two bedroom was perfect! The hotel provided limited services , that was why I didn’t give it the highest rating. To like my room serviced daily. The timeshare rep was extremely pushy. We opted not to participate in the presentation. Loved the daily water aerobics and activities .

We stayed at the sister resort (Flamingo Beach) in January and Royal Palm this past week. We really liked both resorts for a lot of the same reasons — very large, clean, comfortable units, walking distance to stores, restaurants and bars, etc., nice beach and pool and fully equipped kitchen. The grounds at both resorts are very well maintained and bothhad very friendly and helpful staffs. This is a timeshare resort, so they don’t clean your room during your stay but they were happy to provide extra towels, dish detergent, laundry detergent etc., any time we asked. Royal Palm felt a little bit more like a hotel since you go through the lobby and past the front desk every time you enter the building whereas, at Flamingo, the only time you go to the lobby is to check in and check out. One slight downside of the Royal Palm is that the units in the east wing are a little noisy at night because the bar across the street plays loud music at night. However, you can only hear it in the secondary bedroom and not in the master bedroom.
