Escape the desert heat and step into paradise at the Royal Palms Resort & Spa. Voted Condé Nast Traveler's Favorite Hotel in Arizona 2017, the Mediterranean-style resort nestled at the base of Camelback Mountain is a place of exquisite beauty. Enjoy the large swimming pool where private cabanas and complimentary umbrellas offer a reprieve from the Arizona sunshine. Sip a refreshing cocktail at the outdoor bar, take a seat on pillow-topped sun chairs, or sink into the Jacuzzi—all while you're surrounded by palm trees and vibrant flowers. A day at the Royal Palms is the perfect relaxing "daycation".

Royal Palms Resort & Spa

Staff was super friendly and welcoming. Informed me on some history of the resort while helping locate the pool. Pool is the perfect temperature but slightly small. Very luxurious and relaxing. 

Small pool with great service

Another lovely relaxing pool day with no loud people or kids. Such nice staff.

Great for quiet people

Every time I spend a resort day here it is so lovely--the landscaping at this resort is beautiful, the pool is just the right temperature, the wait staff is attentive--always an all around rejuvenating experience to spend the day here

So peaceful and relaxing

Great pool, comfy floats available, beautiful property!

Great spot to spend the day!

From parking (complimentary valet), champagne at check-in, painless check out, the whole process was a breeze. We rented a day room and cabana for an in-town anniversary celebration. The facilities are manicured with a romantic and authentic Spanish Mediterranean vibe. Cabana was large and ready for us when we checked in. There was a daybed, mini fridge, hooks, outlet, two tanning beds, umbrella, and a table. The cabana came with a shareable plate and we added a few drinks and the tacos (get the tacos). Poolside service, food, and drink, all fantastic. Not a massive pool but big enough with beautiful iridescent tile. Feels like you’ve left Arizona. Would absolutely come back, maybe just the cabana next time unless with a group of 4 or more. 

Relaxing Adults-Only Escape

The pool experience (staff and facility) was great! Very relaxing and quiet. Checking in, however, was an ordeal. Didn’t have my reservation at first (their fault for not accepting it), card would take twice and had to move to another computer to start over. Room key worked but the pool key didn’t work. Walked back to get that fixed, but the the room key didn’t work. Walked back to fix that. Checked out by phone. They immediately called back and said there was no card on file (see point above). Went back and they said we owed twice as much as we did. Called that to his attention and he fixed that. Ultimately, a great day but checking-in and -out did not instill confidence to return.

Reception desk

Small, intimate and lush, with a grown-up feel.  No loud people, with plenty of folks just there to read a book and relax. Lovely staff.

Great kid-free oasis

An exceptionally pet friendly resort, very clean and beautiful. I will definitely be back for another stay. 

Beautiful Pet Friendly Resort

The pool is very small but gorgeous, with iridescent tiles throughout the pool. Quiet, relaxing pool. Check in was great as well as pool service! 

Relaxing

Great location and service!  Easy check-in, wonderful amenities, and relaxing day.
