Privacy remains the ultimate luxury at Royal Palms Resort and Spa. Enchanting stone walkways curve throughout the property, inviting guests to indulge in a leisurely stroll amongst the fragrant citrus groves and exotic foliage. Set amidst lush courtyards and blooming gardens, our 119 beautifully appointed casitas, guestrooms, and our new Alvadora Spa Suites-part of our new Montavista Collection-surround as an oasis for guests seeking tranquility and solitude. Each room is resplendent in Old World charm, many appointed with a breathtaking collection of European antiques, tiles and artifacts. Set in the Valley of the Sun, the resort is located in the beautiful Phoenix-Scottsdale resort community, with the majestic Camelback Mountain providing a striking visual backdrop.

Entering the mansion through mahogany and iron double doors, the atmosphere is that of a lavish private residence. Mirroring the Old World charm of the estate, Royal Palms' Four-Star Alvadora Spa is tranquil, warm and intimate. Nationally acclaimed T. Cook's restaurant boasts select seasonal dishes from the Mediterranean and exotic surrounding regions. The resort also offers swimming, a fitness centre and full-service salon.

Overseeing all things romantic is Royal Palms' Director of Romance . Dispensing a wealth of "love" advice to many of his local clientele and hotel guests, he has created the stage for marriage and engagement proposals, anniversary celebrations and tended to special touches for romantic getaways. Whether it's placing rose petals on a turned-down bed, preparing a bubble bath topped with rose petals, or arranging a couples' astrology reading, the Director of Romance is the mythical magician that keeps couples returning for more "love memories."
