Royal Palms Resort and Spa

I wasn’t exactly thrilled about visiting Phoenix in August, right in the middle of the summer heat. But I ended up being so pleasantly surprised! The hotel was wonderfully quiet and much more affordable in the off-season. The staff couldn’t have been more welcoming, and the blast of cold air every time we walked in felt just as refreshing as the icy drinks served all over the property. The views and gardens were still stunning in August, and it’s true .. “dry heat” really is easier to handle than our usual Houston humidity, even at 113°. The hotel’s location was perfect for everything we wanted to do, from visiting ASU to catching a baseball game at Chase Field (which, thankfully, is also covered and air-conditioned!). We loved both the on-site restaurant and the pool … great food, great service, and a charming, historic atmosphere. All in all, this boutique resort completely won me over, and I’d absolutely recommend it. August turned out to be a surprisingly wonderful time to visit!

Great service and love the hotel in general. The environment was so tranquil and relaxing. Additionally, the staff was very friendly and helpful.

The elegant entrance to the resort transports you to an environment of luxury. Royal Palms Resort and Spa deserves the Michelin star that they have recently received. From the location and ambiance of the resort to the wonderful staff that are warm-fully welcoming you as you check in. The place is nothing short of happiness in a champagne glass.

From the moment I arrived until the moment I left, every aspect of my stay was exceptional. The staff greeted me with warmth, kindness, and a sense of genuine hospitality that made me feel right at home. You could really sense how much the staff loved what they did and that they loved the Villa as much as I did. The sprawling gardens were an absolute highlight—meticulously maintained, beautifully designed, and exuding a serene charm. Instead of putting some gardens around the Spanish Villa, they nestled the Spanish Villa inside the gardens. A tranquil oasis. With everything I needed right there, there was no reason to leave. Unforgettable Old World charm.

The warmest welcome from the time you check in, the royal palms has such a unique look and feel to the resort and the grounds instantly transport you to a new county as the architecture sweeps you out of the typical scottsdale look. Views of Camelback Mountain are the perfect backdrop and the entire property is calming and so quiet! The rooms are great and absolutely worth the upgrade to a jr suite or casita. The pool is the perfect temp and OPEN 24 HOURS A DAY! they even provide free sunscreen and floating mats. this is one of our favorite stays in the area and one of our favorite Hyatt experiences!
