The main reason I picked the Royal Villa was of it's location; central Phoenix and near the Pride celebration and festival. I made a good decision. Right off I was impressed by the security. The entire Resort is surrounded by a high block wall and entry involves getting thru 2 steel gates, and only the paying visitor and one guest,... More

I stayed at this resort for 7 days and enjoyed it very much. I was looking for a clothing optional resort where I could get rid of the clothes and relax in the sun and this is the place. The price for what I received was very reasonable and got my seventh night free. The unit had a good size... More

I stayed here many times in many years. The owner Doug told me that no oils were allowed to be used. And it was not because of the swimming pool as I thought... it was because the oils made his cleaning the bed sheets tougher. I had never heard of any hotel/motel ever having that "rule" and I had always... More

My partner and I stayed here for 2 nights in March in the Safari Suite. Doug, the owner is very friendly and went out of his way to make sure our late arrival was accommodated. The room was very nice and spacious and the price is incredible. The resort is very clean, with a nice size pool and large spa.... More

After reading some of the reviews, I still thought of trying this place. The hours say 9am to 9pm. I called @ 9:15am. The owner sounded like he just got up. He apologized for not being in the office to accommodate me. I said you can call me back when you get yourself together. 6 1/2 hrs later, I had... More

Hello Readers! . True enough, when we are running errands, (bank, Costco, etc. ) it is impossible to take a reservation.We remember this client calling and we did call him back that afternoon, and we did apologize for the slight delay in returning the call. He was very upset that our response was not immediate. Patience is a virtue! We... More

This older property has been completely updated and maintained by the owner Doug and his partner. The rooms are spotlessly clean and the environment very friendly. The clothing optional pool & spa area are the reason to come here. While there are a few younger guys, it's primarily a retreat for the 40 & up group. Located just east of... More

We don't argue that there may be nobody manning the desk, not every hotel is expected to have 24/7 correspondence. But mid afternoon and other reasonable times? At least offer a callback as part of the service to secure our business rather than us chasing you. We really didn't feel welcomed when we need to pursue a booking after 3... More

These potential clients called in the middle of the night. They wanted a room right there and then. The front desk was closed and we had left for the evening. In fact, they woke us up. In the middle of explaining our office hour policy, they hung up on us. They called back the following day and read us the... More
