I stayed at Royal Palms about 3 years ago and I would NOT stay there ever again. It was boring and icky. There was absolutely no one there (vacationers) the pool was empty. And that would be okay but there was also ZERO SHADE and so I could not stay out there long. Yes its a nice pool. The condo we rented was okay but over priced. The residents above us would wake up every morning at maybe 5 a.m. and puke his guts out and be very loud about it -- and then move furniture??? TOO WEIRD. I did not have a good experience there. I have been back to AC every year since and stayed at Banana Beach. And I walked past there every a.m. last week and the pool was empty (again) and it did look in disrepair. I would not recommend Royal Palms to anyone. (sorry)
