Charming property with historic architecture. The entire property needs a refresh while keeping the artchitecture in tact. Rooms smell musty/ moldy, chair in room is filthy , carpet smells. There is also some mold. Staff is OK. The only great thing is the breakfast .

There were some bright spots to our stay, but overall, it did not live up to the expectations of a five‑star or Michelin‑level resort. The property is priced like a luxury destination, yet the experience felt closer to a 3.5 or 4 star hotel. Our room was quite dated and had stains in the shower that resembled mold. The beds were not comfortable and were oddly small. Our group had two rooms, and throughout the stay the hotel struggled to keep track of who was in which room. We dealt with repeated key issues, and maintenance was even sent to the wrong room late at night. The gym is very small with limited equipment. The spa was the biggest disappointment: a small and not very luxe relaxation lounge, shabby and cramped layout of the locker room. My massage was the worst I’ve ever received, and my friends were also unhappy with theirs. The quality does not justify the pricing, especially when there are excellent spas at other hotels nearby. The pool area is charming but lacked enough chairs during busy times, especially with wedding groups on property. It felt like the hotel was very understaffed for the occupancy level. On a positive note, the grounds are beautiful, breakfast was delicious, and service at breakfast and at the pool—especially from Christian—was wonderful.

This resort is really spectacular. It's quiet and intimate. I stayed there by myself for business and it was perfect for getting away from the crowds and hustle. It's really like an oasis in the desert. The food is outstanding and they have the friendliest staff.

An oasis in Phoenix. Enjoyed especially the spacious rooms and verandas. The bathroom was gorgeous. I would recommend to stay here.

Service needs to be polished, rooms need updating. Also, our room was on bottom floor and could hear people walking around upstairs at all hours. sleepless nights with all the noise

We booked the 4-night package on Luxury Link and it was well worth it. The package was an amazing value! My wife and I spent four days there and wish we could have spent a few more. The food at T. Cook's was the best I have had in a while. The menu also offered a local-products-only meal, which was terrific. The spa was very nice and we fully enjoyed each of our treatments. The rest of the time was spent laying by the pool, shopping in the Scottsdale mall, and playing golf. I would recommend Royal Palms Resort and Spa to any and all.
