For Memorial Day Weekend, I wanted to get away from home and decided to book a room at the Royal Villa. I went online and placed a reservation via their website. Nothing else happened, no follow up email or phone call, nothing. I thought that I had better follow up and call the hotel directly myself, but was told that... more

The Arizona Royal Villa has a policy that we do not take local people as overnight guests. In the past, we have had many problems with the local crowd, and to be fair to all locals, we have exercised our right to not permit locals as overnight guests. If locals would like to take advantage of our day passes, they...

Nice place, overall. I've never been to it before and have never been to the other property (before they bought this one). Was impressed. Better than I thought it would be. Room was clean and comfortable. I liked the fact it had a full kitchen (but no dishwasher). Since I dont wash dishes (especially when on vacation). I bought paper... more

We have stayed at the Villa many times, and I have always found it to be very clean and the owner and employees are down to earth and pleasant and concerned that their guests are having a good time. The grounds are immaculate and tastefully decorated and we always notice upgrades and improvements whenever we go there. The Villa is... more

A friend and I have stayed there on numerous occasions because we have met some really nice people, same can not be said for the owner/manager. I misplaced the key, and he could have just let me know he was charging me for it, $100.00, but then he had to get rude and nasty about it. He is extremely unprofessional,... more

This repeat client left the facility early with his keys. We were promised to have them sent back the following day. A week later we called the client to ask about the keys and give him a chance to send them back without penalty. He was upset with the charges to his credit card and was not nice. He was...

I ve stayed at the resort on several occasions and have met some great guys.....too bad the same can not be said for Doug the owner. I was there and misplaced the key to the room, and instead of just letting me know that there was a charge $100.00, he called me up and was extremely rude. He takes on... more

I suspected that after our conversation, our repeat, unhappy customer would be submitting reviews (2) as a result. I would like to take this opportunity to explain what really happened so your readers can hear both sides. This client and his friend were here for 3 days and were very happy with everything, as they always were. They were repeat...

Rooms were a little dingy, could have been cleaner, towels were stained, a/c did not work well. Management offered another room if the a/c did not kick in. It did finally cool off, but the next day it was still a little warm. Pool and hot tub were great. Met some nice people around the pool area. Pool area was... more

We remember well these two gentlemen from New Mexico. They were here over the Labor Day Weekend. It was 114 degrees and they arrived earlier than planned. We did not have a chance to cool the room down for them prior to their arrival. It takes a lot to do so when the walls are hot. They wanted a king...

This was my third time at the Royal Villa and it won´t be my last. I stayed there for a week and enjoyed the hospitality of the staff/owner very much. The room has everything you need, is clean and comfortable. The pool area is great to relax and meet other guests. A lot of the gay bars can be found... more

Comfortable, relaxing, fun. We enjoyed our stay as much as our visits to Warm Sands in Palm Srings. Great pool and jacuzzi. Close attention to detail. Attentive staff. And our "Poolside Suite" was a treat. These guys know how to run an inn. more

This place for men is located not far from the airport or downtown(went to the Heard Museum). There's a shopping mall at Camelback and 16th a few minutes drive away. The rooms have kitchens with microwaves(this is not a b&b). The bed was comfy and there was plenty of dresser space. The bathroom was OK. Bring your own shampoo. There... more
