Royal Palms 1306 - Gulf Front - Penthouse Level

*****

First time in Gulf Shores.

Location was great for access to the beach, condo pool was also enjoyed. Unit was clean and the ac worked very well. Unit could use a few updates, but minor issues. - (Aug 2020 - VRBO)

Awesome Condo

Location was great, and condo was very clean!! - (Aug 2020 - VRBO)

Great View

Overall, the condo was very nice and exactly as described. Our only complaint was the check in/check out process. Unlike any condos we have stayed in, we lost an hour having to return the keys in the drop box at the realty office on Gulf Shores Parkway when leaving. If you've ever left Gulf Shores on a Sunday morning, you know what the traffic is like. I would suggest a keypad or another more efficient process. - (Aug 2020 - VRBO)

Weekend get-away

Nice views and a good location. Bring many of your own items as the rental is not stocked with any extras (garbage bags, towels, ... etc.). - (Jul 2020 - VRBO)

Just what we needed

Perfect condo and perfect location. - (Jun 2020 - VRBO)

Great place to stay.

Enjoyed our stay. Property was very clean. Furniture seating and bed was very comfortable. We did have a few issues, but they were promptly taken care of. The only real complaint is the bath fans, they roar like an engine and they automatically come on with the light (hope they can do something about that). We really love the area, being next to the pier property was especially nice. View was very much enjoyed. Looking forward to next year coming back. - (Apr 2020 - VRBO)

mattress deficient

Wonderful condo, Wonderful beach, Mattress belongs in a transient hotel! Will return to condo..... in a different room. Replace the mattress. Please!!!! Door digital key pad for entry would be nice. - (Oct 2019 - VRBO)

Great end of beach!

Room is smaller than expected. Average adult could not get comfortable on sleeper sofa.(so called mattress paper thin), master king bed very uncomfortable (broken down sleeping what felt like a home) and noisy (facing strip-traffic). Ceiling fan/light in living room didn't work-maintenance addressed but didn't repair during our stay. Overall property is located at good quiet end of beach. Property management is not on site. Keyed door entry was a pain to obtain and return/turn in. Parking was easy and security onsite. Overall I would stay at this resort again in a multiple room model. - (Jul 2019 - VRBO)

Great Spot!

I had a great time during my stay at this property. Everything was clean and updated and I wouldn't change a thing! (Except a new mattress, as it was awful and I'm really not choosy about mattresses) But overall, a recommended place to stay. Management was awesome. No major complaints. - (Jun 2019 - VRBO)

Cute condo

The indoor pool, being on the beach and being next to the state park was fantastic. Curtains in bedroom would be nice, the outdoor hall lighting came through the blinds and illuminated the room. Perfect size for our family of 3, 4 would be just as comfortable. - (Jan 2019 - VRBO)

Best view ever!

BEAUTIFUL view! Nice condo was clean and equipped with everything we needed for our family vacation. - (Oct 2018 - VRBO)

*****

Incredible

The condo was very nice and the staff very helpful. I think the only thing was the coffee maker didn't work well. Kept putting grounds in the pot. Otherwise we can't wait to visit again Dan - (Sep 2018 - VRBO)

Mixed Experience

In my opinion, the location is excellent; the next to highest floor gives great views. Elevator [lift] service was fast and prompt. Plastic balcony furniture just OK. Just the right size for a couple. Kitchen well equipped. WiFi good. Now the bad. Had to use the hallway bunk beds for suitcase use; one suitcase in bedroom on a chair in a very small crowded corner. Bedroom is the problem: The worst hot sagging foam mattress I've ever experienced with those semi-rigid foam bouncy head pillows gave a terrible nights rest. Couldn't open bedroom window to get some ocean breeze thru the room. No hair dryer provided in this damp climate! Would be 5 stars if the mattress and pillows were replaced with something decent. - (May 2018 - Flipkey)

Amazing view

This is the 3rd time we have stayed in 1306. We love the view!! It is very comfortable and always very clean. It is so nice to be right on the beach - (Oct 2017 - Flipkey)
