The unit is a little older, but clean, very comfortable, and obviously well maintained. It is perfectly located on the beach immediately next to Gulf State Park. Beach is not crowded.

Beautiful view from the balcony, very comfortable bed, and clean. We really enjoyed our stay. We could see Gulf Shores State Park Pier from the balcony, and it was a short walk down the beach. We loved watching the dolphins.

Great stay at a great place

We had a great stay at this Royal Palms unit. The views from the 12th floor were amazing! The unit was just a described. Having two full bathrooms was extremely nice as well. Located at three east end of Gulf Shores made it easy to enjoy everything from Dauphin Island to Perdido Key. If we return, we will definitely look to see if this unit is avaliable and we would recommend it to others.
