Second time staying at the Royal Palms Resort and Spa. From my first experience, I knew there was nowhere else to stay in the Phoenix area. First of all, the resort is absolutely breathtaking. This is not your average high end hotel, this is a beautiful resort filled with accommodating staff, guest services, amenities, and luxurious rooms. And of course a fabulous restaurant/bar with an amazing chef and excellent menu. The pool is also 5 star status, open 24 hours and food/beverage service is available certain hours. It is the ultimate in luxury. I have yet to experience the spa services, but I will hopefully indulge myself in them someday. The rooms feel like you are in a Tuscan villa. Every little details astounds you. We had very knowledgable and experienced waitstaff at the restaurant, Jeff and Miguel are amazing. Each staff member is enthusiastic and friendly. We invited a good friend from the area for dinner and she was so impressed her and her husband are booking a romantic getaway here even though they live ten minutes away! They are also service animal friendly, and treat service dogs with extra care and respect. I will never stay anywhere else in this area. So glad I got to show my mom and friend the best of the best. This place is a cut above the rest.
