An inspiring oceanfront beach retreat, the Royal Palm offers modern, vibrant living whilst keeping intact many signature elements of the original Art Deco design. Rooms are gorgeous, with stunning city or ocean views, rich linen robes to relax in and organic bath products. When you’re not out and about sightseeing or strutting your stuff down at the beach, relax by one of the two pools, a cocktail in one hand, a good book in the other. There are restaurants all around you but for good eats you don't need to leave the hotel. From casual poolside dining at the Grove to the exciting flavours of the Middle East at Byblos - there's something to suit all tastes. Palm Island Bar is great for a sundowner, particularly at the weekend with the live DJ music to groove to.

A special thank you to Raymond. I visited with my mom (her first time here) and requested a nice room. Raymond went above and beyond to make her stay truly memorable—she’s already excited to return and bring our whole family along!

As we entered the doors, we were greeted by Christopher, one of the concierge. If u ever go to the Royal Palm, Christopher is your man. He goes above and beyond to help you in anyway that he can and being that it was my birthday he found me the best room with an awesome view.

RP, where Christopher makes you feel like royalty

The staff at RP are all very nice and caring. Unfortunately they have continued to reduce the breakfast buffet items. The newest cut is the removal of the omelette chef.
The bikes are always a great resource to enjoy the beach walk. Yesterday I ride for over 110 blocks!

There is a superior employee that works at the check-in counter, however.
His name is Christopher and he represents everything a traveler desires after a long trip. He has exceeded my expectations for my last 3 stays here. His goal is to make sure all of the guests at the Royal Palms are treated like royalty!
I would recommend that the hotel promote this young man and develop him into a senior management role.
