Beautiful condo, great decor, and the view was amazing. Brett/Robinson was very easy to work with and kept us informed of everything important. My only issue is that there was some mold in the bathrooms on the back of the sinks and on the tub/shower enclosures. I know this is typical for beach places, but it was icky and seemed like it could have been cleaned up. However, overall, definitely recommend thix condo.

Thank you for your fantastic 5-star review! We’re so happy to hear that your beach vacation was everything you hoped for. There’s nothing better than soaking in the beauty of the ocean and enjoying a peaceful escape, and we’re delighted you had such a great time. Your kind feedback means the world to us, and we look forward to welcoming you back for more unforgettable moments by the sea. See you again soon!
The view was great. Condo was as described as far as size/furnishings. Was convenient to all things local.Bed mattress needs to be replaced - it felt like it had been well worn and there were intentions on both sides from all the previous guests. If you laid in the middle and then rolled over, you’d quickly roll down into one side or the other. The hall bathroom fan switch wouldn’t shut off all the way and had to be “balanced” in the middle to keep it off. The bedroom shower doors wouldn’t slide - had to be physically lifted and moved because there wasn’t a track for them to slide in. Sand in the recliner foot rest and visible dust/particles/hair on the wall by the ceiling air vent and on wall. Seems the cleaner does the bare basic minimum.

Thank you for sharing your feedback on your recent stay at Royal Palms. We’re so glad you enjoyed the view and found the condo convenient and as described. We sincerely apologize, however, for the issues you encountered with the mattress, shower doors, fan switch, and cleanliness. This is not the level of quality or comfort we want our guests to experience.
We’ve created a follow-up work order for our maintenance and housekeeping teams to address the mattress replacement, repair the shower doors and bathroom fan switch, and ensure a more thorough deep clean of the condo, including furniture and vents.
We truly value your comments, as they help us identify where we need to improve. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back and provide you with a much smoother and more comfortable stay.
Thank you for taking the time to write a review of your recent stay. We love hearing our guests were completely satisfied. Please keep us in mind the next time you plan to visit the area.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
Disliked: Communication
Problems began weeks before check-in and didn't stop.
-Poor communication. 4 emails (3 unanswered) and three phone calls ( two "no answer" well within business hours) just to get my bill paid.
-Floor number didn't match room key number
- Obvious food smears on fridge.
-Bathtub spout heavily tarnished and chrome flaking off into tub.
-Clear shower control knob showing disgusting sludge build-up inside of it.
-Heavily stained hand towel folded and presented to us as cleaned and ready for use (it was, however, folded nice and cute on the bask of the toilet).
-Balcony furniture disparately needs replaced. My wife's powder blue robe now has battle scars in a deep rust tone from the arms and back of the chair.
-Paint spatter in both sides of kitchen sink.
-No available info on area attractions or events.
- No info for restaurants or clubs, nothing!
-No electrical outlets near the bedroom night stands. I had to pull the bed away from the wall to use the one behind the headboard.
I could go on but I won't. I think you get my point.
We left dissatisfied and at a point I felt I should simply drop off the keys and chalk it up as a learning experience. Therefore, I deposited the keys, said nothing and left. Sometimes, it's probably best to simply say nothing. My wife says I am not very good at that - lol.
We have visited this area of the gulf for nearly 30 years and have never had a need to leave anything negative as review. This trip, however, was much different start to finish.

Beautiful View
The view was amazing from this condo! The location, right on the beach was fantastic!
The unit itself was ok. It was a bit dark. Next time I would opt for a corner unit to have more light. The floors seemed a bit sticky, but overall it's unit was clean. The sheets could use a major upgrade. They felt very cheap and not good.
Be sure to bring everything that you would need, such as bathroom tissue (only one roll per bathroom was provided) dishwasher soap (again only one was provided) and hand soap. If you like to make eggs in the morning you might want to bring your own non stick pan. Only stainless Steel was provided.
Check in and check out was easy.
We liked being on the 14th floor, and in a smaller complex.
Overall it was a great relaxing beach vacation!!

James: Thank you for the compliments and the review of your stay. We will certainly look into the items in question and make the necessary changes. We certainly want to offer and comfortable place to stay. A starter kit is provided but, as was included in your confirmation, other items will need to be brought from home or bought from nearby local stores. We hope the memories you made here will last a long time.

We loved 1404 Royal Palms! Bed was extremely comfortable and the cleanliness was top notch! Wonderful views and very relaxing! This is our 3rd time at Royal Palms and our 2nd one for 1404... we will definitely be back! Had an issue with the dryer and called Brett Robinson and it was resolved the same day -- good location for fishing and a lovely quiet beach.
