recently my partner and I stayed at this resort and we have to say sorry but we will not be returning until changes are made. We actually are returning guests and things seem to be so different and not in a great way. The staff seems to be different... along with the "mens" resort. It really would have been nice... More

Stayed here with my gay brother and his husband and my partner for 4 days and 3 nights. Liked the light colored interiors and friendly and accommodating service. The salads are wonderful as is hanging out by the pool bar with hip and fun sounds. Enjoyed the Sunday Fun Day tea dance party with complimentary massage on a massage chair... More

Royal Palm has been the white glove of gay resorts in Fort Lauderdale. Now they are allowing women to frequent the bar, and stay at the resort. This is unacceptable. It is no longer a place for just men. I may as well go to a hotel elsewhere on the beach, where I can get similar service, and clientele. It's... More

If you're looking for fun on a Sunday, the Royal Palms Sunday Funday is THE place to be. It's great for both locals and for visitors. The staff is so friendly, the food is delicious, and the rooms are new, bright, and very clean. There is always a great mix of locals and vacationers which makes for a fun, vibrant... More

Gay men are so wonderful! Now, there is a gay resort for men where women are also welcomed!! I love it so much! The place is clean, I don't worry about getting hit on, hassled, orpicked up. I'm planning a "staycation" with me and my girlfriends at this great resort. PS....The eye candy is amazing!

If I wanted to stay at a straight hotel I can go to the 30 hotels down the street. If its a gay hotel keep it a gay hotel. Women at the pool with their cackling voices and snobbish looks. Come on guys, what were you thinking? Locals WILL stop coming on Sundays if this continues.

Mike and Tony are the best massuers in Ft Lauderdale. I have had a vacation home in a 5 star condo hotel in Ft Lauderdale since 2006 that bosts one of the top 50 spas in the US. They DO NOT hold a candle to the very knowledgable team of Mike and Tony at the Royal Palm Spa. They assess... More

Just read that this is no longer just a gay men's resort. This explains why the clothing optional at the pool was put to rest, even though they claim other reasons. Our first time here about a year and a half ago was awesome!! This time, just average, room was clean in the common areas but had many cobwebs around... More

We have stayed 4 days in this hotel and we liked the bedrooms, fitness and the pools. The fitness room is a bit small but that is to be expected in a smaller hotel. However, the fitness room needs some maintenance though as there were no towels, no water and airco did not work. Service is friendly and the breakfast... More
