Royal Palms Resort and Spa

適合度假，挺不錯

酒店非常不錯，小海服務也很好

I wasn’t exactly thrilled about visiting Phoenix in August, right in the middle of the summer heat. But I ended up being so pleasantly surprised! The hotel was wonderfully quiet and much more affordable in the off-season. The staff couldn’t have been more welcoming, and the blast of cold air every time we walked in felt just as refreshing as the icy drinks served all over the property. The views and gardens were still stunning in August, and it’s true .. “dry heat” really is easier to handle than our usual Houston humidity, even at 113°. The hotel’s location was perfect for everything we wanted to do, from visiting ASU to catching a baseball game at Chase Field (which, thankfully, is also covered and air-conditioned!). We loved both the on-site restaurant and the pool … great food, great service, and a charming, historic atmosphere. All in all, this boutique resort completely won me over, and I’d absolutely recommend it. August turned out to be a surprisingly wonderful time to visit!

If one seeks a quiet, still refuge within which to think, compose, and strategize critical plans away from congested traffic, extreme heat and phone interruptions, Royal Palms is peerless. The privacy bordered on meditativeness. The pool amenities rivaled a Caribbean beach stay.

Expectations were not met. Disappointed for sure. Cleanliness, tired décor and predictably dull. But lovely setting which once was amazing we’re certain. Today….just tired and resting on what once was.

We stayed at the Royal Palms because we were in town for a wedding and the reception was being held here. We had a king casita and when we arrived at 5 PM on a Friday there was a loud event going on in the courtyard just adjacent to our room. Turns out it was a wedding reception. This was a repeated pattern the 4 days we were there. It seems like every large outdoor space was being used for different events and was being constantly broken down and turned over between the events. To the credit of the hotel, the breakdown and set up process was very quiet, but the events themselves meant a very busy resort and we really weren’t able to enjoy the open spaces and beautiful courtyards. The wedding reception we attended there was beautifully done so I can understand why people want to hold events there. However, if you are looking for a place of tranquility, this is not it. We ate brunch twice and the on-site restaurant tea cooks. It was very good. Our room was spacious and had two nice patios for sitting however we couldn’t really use them because there were always events going on right outside. For the high price, I probably wouldn’t return here again because it is more of an event hotel not a vacation hotel.
