Royal Palms is in the perfect location: Easy driving distance to the ball parks and an unobstructed view of the Gulf! We're so glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to hear from you for your next visit.
We enjoyed a week at the beach front condo. The views were amazing. It was very neat, clean, and a short walk to restaurants.

We're so glad you enjoyed your stay in this great condo! The location is perfect - just next to the State Park, with fabulous views and fewer folks on the beach. We hope to assist you in planning your next Gulf Coast getaway!
The condo was at a great location. It was not to crowded because on one side was a fishing pier. The pools were clean and well maintained as well as the high rise. We would stay there again.

This is a great beach front condo of a couple or a family! It with in walking distance of several restaurants. The condo was very clean, well stocked kitchen if you want to cook. There were lots of towels and the bed was very comfortable. Bender Realty was very easy to work with. I can't wait to go back!

We're thrilled that you had such a good time in this super-sweet condo. The views from the balcony are fabulous, with unobstructed views to the east. The location is perfect for walking to your favorite restaurants. We can't wait to assist you in planning your next Royal Palms visit!
This is our 3rd time staying in the Royal Palms and each time has been wonderful! This condo was clean, and the view from that balcony was beautiful. The only thing I think they should upgrade is the king sized bed- a little lumpy, but other than that, great condo for that price point! Will stay here again.

We're so glad you enjoyed your stay in Gulf Shores! Royal Palms 503 is a terrific condo, with its outstanding view of the Gulf, numerous amenities, and nearby location to all attractions!
Check-in & out process was easy. Other guests/residents at the condo were friendly. Location & view from balcony were amazing. The unit could be a little cleaner though. Our son found a used dry shampoo bottle in one of the bunk beds (which makes me wonder if the sheets were even washed), and there was pink soap scum in the shower.

This is a the perfect location for an incredible view and beach access! We really loved the fact that the Royal Palms property is on the "end" of a long line of condos and hotels. We just walked diwn the boardwalk and turned left and enjoyed a long stretch of beach between Royal Palms and The Gulf State Park Pier! We relaxed on the beach, looked for shells(my favorite activity), and walked in the sand with the ocean washing up on our feet! The condo is well stocked and comfortable and very beautifully decorated! I will definitely book at Royal Palms again!

Really enjoyed our time at Gulf Shores in Royal Palms 503. We had six people in this condo which was a bit tight, but worked for the small amounts of time we were in it. Ocean view was beautiful...saw dolphins every morning and evening.
I stayed with my husband and children for 4 nights. My boys had a blast and enjoyed the views from the balcony. We loved the convenience of the beach access. We also enjoyed our time at the pool. The kids liked that they had the option of the indoor or out door pool. My only suggestion would be since covered parking was an amenity it would be nice to have a larger covered parking area as there was not always a spot available for covered parking with as many guest was occupying the facilitiy. Overall great stay and we would love to stay again in the future.

We're so glad you enjoyed your stay in Royal Palms 503 and invite you to call Bender Realty when you are ready for your next Gulf Coast getaway!
The location was perfect. It is on the less crowded side of the beach with plenty of room. There was a nice beach vendor that rented chairs and umbrellas. We loved that it was next door to the state park. We brought our bikes and rode many miles on the trails. we also rode to everything else like dinner.
The condo was clean and very cozy for my husband and I. The only reason I didn't give the cleanliness 5 stars was that I don't think they regularly mop the floors. My feet were black from walking barefoot.
