The Royal Palms is in definite need of some TLC. While the room was spacious and clean, with good quality bedding, the mattress was old and had a few uncomfortable sags in it. The property is in rough shape with broken and aging furniture throughout the grounds. The gardens don't appear to be maintained and everything is in need of a good power washing and a coat of paint. While it appears to be a gated property, the gates were always unlocked or open and the entire property is open and accessible to the public. The front desk staff was friendly and helpful though they were often hard to reach because one person supports the front desk for a few nearby properties. This means you often need to use a call button to summon the front desk staff and it can take them up to ten minutes to appear. The Royal Palms is a member of the North Beach Village, a conglomerate of six or seven properties of similar vintage and quality. This property doesn't feature any bells and whistles but it does have welcoming staff, ample parking, and a fantastic location, just two blocks from the beach. Great for a budget-conscious traveller who prefers a beach to a "resort".
