Quick unexpected spring break trip
We had the absolute best time staying in Royal Palms! Check in was quick and easy. The condo is located right on the beach, with an indoor pool and hot tub for rainy days. We will definitely be coming back!
A wonderful place to relax on the beach! The teenagers were able to walk to all kinds of shops and for ice cream. Plenty of restaurants close by and the beachfront location was perfect!!
Great place to stay. On the quiet end of the beach! Close to everything. Grandchildren had a blast!

Ocean front relaxing week.
We stayed in this condo for a week in June. It was a great week for me and my husband. Conda was clean had everything we needed and had a fabulous view. Did see some dolphins from the balcony very cool.
Hosts were very accommodating. We got there a little early so we could go to festival and they allowed us to check in early so we could get a parking decal. Very easy to get ahold of and check in and check out instructions were very reasonable. Would definitely stay again.

Amazing Getaway!
This condo is perfect for if you just need a place to sleep and get ready for dinner! Because of where it is located on the beach it is not crowded and made for a very relaxing trip. The bed was the most comfortable bed I’ve ever had in a rental. Jason is very responsive and provides excellent recommendations. Will definitely be back in the future.
Property is clean bed is comfortable. The view is amazing and a short walk to the Gulf State Pier. It is the last condo before the pier and the beach was not over crowded. Jason was fantastic and the communication was top notch. We didnt have to wait for elevators and the walk to the beach is quick and easy. It was very quiet and relaxing. We will book again with Jason.

Best stay ever!!!
Jason was an amazing host! We couldn't have asked for a better one!! We've stayed at the beach several times and by far this has been the best. Normally you don't even see or speak to the person at the other end, they just collect there money, send emails and there done. The room and view was amazing also. If your looking to book a beach vacation stay with Jason at one of his property's . Thanks again Jason!!

Perfect weather and condo!
This was a last minute trip we booked. Jason was very accommodating. Royal Palms is the last building before Gulf Shores State Park so it is a very quiet area and short walk to pier. Nice, clean condo with a full kitchen with anything you need to cook in the condo. Lots of restaurants within a mile. We walked to eat almost every evening. Lots of parking and fast elevators. Beautiful sunsets and perfect weather for 2 weeks.

PERFECT
This condo was in a perfect location away from big crowds. Small building so I never waited on the elevator and parking was easy and secure on the property. Master bed was very comfortable, kitchen had everything that is needed, balcony furniture is comfortable, and the tv had much more channels than most condos. I will be renting this unit again.
Love royal palms. We have been staying here for several years. Never had any problems. The one and only suggestion would be for housekeeping to put the remotes with the tv they go with. Not all of them in the bedroom like ours was. Beautiful unit. Very clean. Everything we needed was there. Thank you for a great time
Love the condo being the only one on the beach until the pier. Condo was clean and love the keyless entry.
The manager, Jason, was great. I didn't think I received my email the week before we left with all our information with the codes so I emailed Jason. Even though he was out of state and was returning to Alabama the next day, he got back to me right away and let me know he did send it (which he did and it showed opened) Point being he was out of state and still took care of me. Now that's service.
We enjoyed the indoor and outdoor pool and the hot tub. All were clean and the indoor pool was refreshing after a hot day down at the beach.
If you're considering coming to Gulf Shores, be sure and check out this property and the others that Jason and Sonia manage. Although I've only stayed at this one, I am pretty sure I would give the other properties a 5 star rating also.
This condo was great for our family vacation. The location really can’t be beat. Royal Palms is the last condo right before Gulf State Park starts. This gave us a large section of beach that was only being used by condo patrons & a few state park visitors. The beach was clean and a sandbar section closer to the pier provided an excellent location for our one year old to play. If you aren’t a huge fan of the sand or saltwater, there are indoor and outdoor pools. The unit fit our family of three very well. There was plenty of space for our daughter to play in the living area without getting into too much. I was impressed by how comfortable the pull out couch was. While still less supportive than a normal mattress, it was easily the best pull out I’ve been on and was an excellent nap location for our child. The king size bed in the bedroom was comfortable as well, but it is a bit of a tight squeeze to get to the other side without climbing over the bed. The kitchen has the essentials to make some basic meals. It was helpful to not have to eat out every night. Perhaps one of my favorite amenities in the condo was the washer & dryer. Traveling with a child presents many challenges, one of which is how to clean the inevitable messes they make. Having a washer and dryer in the unit made it significantly easier. My only complaint is that I feel like the unit could probably use a good deep clean. I will add the caveat I have some OCD tendencies so others may not have an issue.
Nice and quiet, great views from balcony (9th floor), beautiful beach with a non-stop, wild dolphin show, clean condo, close to about everything you'd need, right next to Gulf Shores State Park pier (easy walking distance), good communication with host. Will definitly use again when I return.Very fairly priced too.
We enjoyed our stay here. The condo was nice enough. The view from the balcony was good, and the location was great. The bed was very comfortable, and it was nice having 2 bathrooms to use. We used both pools every day, and there were never a lot of people in them. The hot tub was nice and hot. I will say the outdoor pool was very cold, but it made the indoor pool feel nice and warm.
Great location. There are a variety of food and shopping locations within walking distance. The owner's were great to work with and made sure we were well taken care of!
