Hotel Royal Palms Resort & Spa (Fort Lauderdale, USA)

An adults-only stay was a plus for many guests of the Royal Palms Resort & Spa. Grown-up pool time provided a nice respite from the splashing and noise of the under-21 set. This adult-only hotel is also gay-friendly.

With features not found at standard hotels, like rain shower heads, creative, contemporary décor, and free yoga, guests felt they were given good value for their money.

The lively poolside bar and social atmosphere of the Royal Palms Resort & Spa, means guests can expect to have a great time, and maybe even meet a few new people. Opportunities to mix and mingle abound, and events like the signature Paint & Create facilitate a fun, inclusive vibe.

During busier times, visitors to the Royal Palms Resort & Spa found it hard to track down housekeeping, or found the front desk empty. A few guests commented that phone calls went unanswered, leaving a feeling of being left to their own devices. Not being a priority bothered many guests who preferred a better level of service.

The reputation of the Royal Palms Resort & Spa as a place to kick back and have a good time seems to be well-deserved. A regular Sunday night party is known to get quite lively, with music not shutting down until the wee hours. Some guests reported that locals were known to join the fun by the pool, making for a sometimes raucous night.

While it might seem like a minor concern to some, not having a pool towel was an issue for several guests. No matter how hot the Florida sun got, guests still wanted a chance to dry off. Some guests felt that the lack of towels was indicative of the shortage in staff.
