An inspiring oceanfront beach retreat, the Royal Palm offers modern, vibrant living whilst keeping intact many signature elements of the original Art Deco design. Rooms are gorgeous, with stunning city or ocean views, rich linen robes to relax in and organic bath products. When you’re not out and about sightseeing or strutting your stuff down at the beach, relax by one of the two pools, a cocktail in one hand, a good book in the other. There are restaurants all around you but for good eats you don't need to leave the hotel. From casual poolside dining at the Grove to the exciting flavours of the Middle East at Byblos - there's something to suit all tastes. Palm Island Bar is great for a sundowner, particularly at the weekend with the live DJ music to groove to.

Beach access was great, and Von and Nickson work hard to ensure that your time down at the water is pleasant and comfortable. Great customer service and friendly staff in the breakfast area as well. Bathrooms are a bit outdated but it was a good stay overall.
Would return!

The location of the hotel is amazing, staff is very friendly and accommodating if there is any chance of wind or slight showers have The Beach Boys hook you up with a cabana - made our day (thanks Nixon and others)!
Restaurant service to the pool and beach was also wonderful.
Beach day

Nixon and the crew were so nice and helpful. We were originally going to get the free lounge chair with the $25 umbrella, but when they heard we wanted the umbrella for the rain, they informed us of their policy to take down umbrellas in the rain for safety reasons. We decided to get the daybed instead. Best decision ever! We had a solid beach day…

Comfortable setting right on the beach and beach trail - and on the Art Deco block. Make sure to stroll down to Lummus park!

A couple of things really stood out: The breakfast staff is super attentive and always smiling, it really makes you feel welcome. The building's architecture of Art Deco is unique, feels luxurious, and continues down towards the Lummus park/ Miami Beach. And beach yoga on Saturday was just what I needed!! Monalisa is a very experienced…

Beach Experience

I didn’t stay at the hotel, but spent our time on the beach with the resort. The staff on the beach are amazing — especially Ricardo; get that man a raise! Would definitely recommend a day on the beach and having a few piña coladas delivered to you. Enjoy!
