Royal Palm

South Beach, Miami

Virgin rating

The hotel

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.

The hospitality was great with Malahy & Jeffrey. They were very helpful. They helped us find a great spot to lie in the sun and enjoy the beach. We would definitely come here again and would bring entire family and would invite friends. Had a great time. Service was great.

Elizabeth at the check-in counter is the epitome of customer service! She was energetic, smiley, and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience - gave us an unforgettable room to make our one night stay special. We’ll be back

Overall, staff was kind and attentive, especially at the bar, beach and breakfast restaurant. However, there was an incident where a toxic cleaning detergent or substance was left in one of the free water bottles provided by the hotel. My friend ended up drinking this, obviously not thinking anything of it, got very sick to the point where paramedics had to be called and we had to miss our flight home. The hotel's assistant manager Lucia Rosa handled it very poorly - denied any culpability and did not offer any compensation. Luckily my friend is okay now, however, I worry how this negligent response could have affected my friend's health, had this been a more toxic substance. This happened January 6. It’s now January 24 and we’ve yet to hear any response from them. Read less

I was in Miami Beach for work end of January and saw the sign the hotel elevators for complimentary Saturday morning yoga at 9:30AM hosted by the Royal Palm. Instructor Mona Lisa was welcoming and encouraging while also being aware of our bodies in motion. Yoga on the beach in the sunshine was invigorating.
