"Great place and great service"
This place has been revamped recently, and it is really comfortable now. The location is very convenient, just 4-5 km from Margao, making it very easy to get around. The overall service was great, and the games/ contests in the recreation room livened up a rainy holiday. The food was excellent: the chef, Bruno (who was "on loan" from Beach Club) kept dishing out specials for us, and Deepak took pains to get off-menu orders for our 10-year old. I would love to stay here again.
"Out of season but PERFECT"
My partner and i stayed here for one week mid september, Goa was mostly still shut for the monsoon season but was slowly coming back to life. The hotel was a range of block type units which were very spacious! Comes with kitchen, TV, A/C all the bells and whistles. Was comfortable and outstanding service from all staff.
I would recommend it to anyone as it's comfortable and has everything you would need. The location is nice being in-between some amazing beaches where the fishing men bring their boats up to shore and sell their days catch.
"Family destination resort"
We stayed in this resort in room No 30(6) single bedroom unit from 30thSept-2014 to 4th Oct-2014. The location is outstanding as it is located very close to Benaulim beach( one of the most beautiful ,clean and silent beach). we can hire motor bike or car easily and its very convenient with good prices.
The Unit was very spacious and clean and pleasant. In Kitchen utensils, Refrigerator, gas stove are in order and useful. Well maintained swimming pool, gym, grocery shop and indoor outdoor games. The service there was very nice. Front office staff and housekeeping staff are very friendly & helpful. Event organizers are good.
We always thank full to Mr. Umar, senior marketing manager(one of the great asset for the resort). But sorry to Mr.Umar.becuase of other financial commitments we are not in a position to accept your offer for club membership. Surely we shall go for it shortly.
"4rth visit to Goa"
Had a very enjoyable stay and would like to go again next year. I have read reviews of other travellers and are very true. The photographs on the trip advisor website from the owner are very much of real picture in existence.
The surroundings are beautiful, it is very near to the beach and has lot of restaurants near by.
"At Home in Goa"
The RGBC at Royal Palms has been designed in a colonial style with attractive facades and balconies. Landscaped with lovely gardens that also feature the palm trees that give the resort its name, this resort is near Benaulim beach. Margao city the commercial hub of South Goa is just a 10 minute drive away .
Living arrangements:It features a selection of studios, one and two bedroom apartments on different floors.We opted for the 2 bedroom apartment where 4-5 people can be accommodated comfortably. We found it clean and well furnished. The kitchenette provides a refrigerator,induction cooking burners and suitable utensils, crockery and cutlery for rustling up a meal of your choice.
Other amenities:The 24 hour reception, restaurant, and bar,swimming pool with a poolside bar,gymnasium, spa, indoor games, grocery store,beauty parlour,library and childrens activity programmes and a travel desk to organize day trips in Goa.
This place is ideal for a relaxing holiday with family and friends. It is a 15 mins walk or a 5 min drive to the Benaulim beach which is one of the best beaches in Goa. For food, you can opt for various beach shacks in Benaulim (except for the monsoon), cook at the kitchenette or eat at the in house restaurant. Apart from the grocery store at Royal Palms, the neighbourhood also has well stocked grocery stores.
"Best holiday Resort"
This is our 9th trip to Royal Palms in Benaulim - goa and every year we have enjoyed our stay thoroughly, with excellent service,co-operation from the staff and pleasant environment. The new G.M Neha has a pleasant personality and positive approach to all the guests and her staff. the front desk manager Mr.Miguel and Betty are ever so co-operative, helpful, welcoming theguests with a smiling faces. The P.R. lady California and entertainment officer Judas are always around never refusing a request from the guests. the rooms are very clean and are serviced everyday. The gardens are beautiful
with all kinds of flowers and bushes. We could not find any fault really!!
We look forward to being there next January 2015 - have booked already.
"Very Good Experience, specially if you are travelling with Kids"
I have got a deal from Groupon and stayed in this property in last week of Aug-14 and it was a very good experience, I really liked the concept, it has kitchen, all the necessary utensils, Fridge, Electric Gas, and Microwave (on Request) , it has small store inside the property from where you can buy grocery items on MRP, it has GYM and Pool also.
I recommend this property specially if you are travelling with Kids, where you have the option to prepare quick snacks like Maggi, Pasta, Bread etc for your Kids whenever they want...
"Decent family retreat"
This is a service apartment style resort. Its well maintained and well staffed. It has a good swimming pool. It also has a basic spa. There is a mini store from where one can pick up basic essentials for cooking and they also have a decent collection of alcoholic beverages and cigarettes. The also store some ready to eat packaged food stuff.
The rooms are clean and spacious. We stayed in a one bedroom and one living room apartment that can accommodate 4 people comfortably. It had a fully equipped kitchen with an induction stove and plates and utensils for cooking. There was a refrigerator too. Both rooms were air-conditioned.
The staff is friendly and helpful but the housekeeping services are available only up-to 11.30 PM. They resort conducts some special recreational activities through the day for the guests.
The rooms are in separate units depending on the category of room. Each unit has three floors but there are no lifts. The beach is about 1.5 kms away. There are some small local eateries and shops close by. You can get private taxis just outside the resort gate. There are a few locals just outside the resort who even offer vehicles on self driving options which are reasonably priced. You can get a car or bike as per your needs.

The staff were very helpful, friendly and filled with hospitality. The front office staff were always ready to help. the ambiance of the resort was great. the pool always had an attendant, the gardens were well maintained, Fatima from the house keeping department does a great job. I would like to thank Wilma Mendes and Maria for offering us a wonderful holiday in Goa.

The restaurant offers different cuisine and made fresh to order. The restaurant holds BBQ nights,Retro nights, Rajastani night with live folk dance & music nights. There are no loud music and noise and quiet at night as no night clubs close by. You get welcomed with a glass of drink and a smile .The front office staff are very professional and always ready to help. The room cleaning staff are very friendly and caring. I felt as if I was in my own home and safe as the safety is maintained at highest level. Even at night it is well lit with all securities in place. The poolside staff are friendly with kids and trained .I have to mention Mr.Miquel the front office Manager who is always polite and helpful and professional in what he does as handling people with different demands. The beach is just 10 mins walk with lot's of eateries. My stay was full of fun and joy and would come again and again.

"Friendly and comfortable"
I have been coming to Royal Palms for many years now. I have just returned from another great 2 week stay. The newly upgraded rooms are lovey and comfortable. The staff are all welcoming, friendly and can't do enough for you. There is always a visible presence of management to ask if all is well with your stay. Housekeeping was excellent and everything was beautifully maintained. I cannot praise the Royal Palms highly enough! I look forward to many more trips there in the future.
"Hotel with Hospitality at its Best"
STAFF at Royal Goan Beach Club at Royal Palms was very warm and hospitable a reflection of a real Goan hospitality. Human is an asset- a core value. Overall Hotel is well maintained, full of greenery and scenic beauty, a luxurious place for fun and frolic for young and adventurers.
Hotel management deserves high appreciation for such a lovely environment and also providing with all the latest facilities and entertainments like magic shows and cultural shows.

"Great place excellent service"
This place is in the middle of the small town of Benaulim,,but this town is very quiet after about 10. Pm . It's very convenient for all the facilities,restaurants and walking to the beautiful beach and all the excellent beach shacks. The bus services to the nearest big town of Margao are on hand and in Magao you can get buses to everywhere. The complex is very clean and well kept and the service to the apartments is second to none,the domestics actually clean and any problems put right within the hour or the latest the same day. We love it have been there most years since 1998 we feel very well cared for there.
"awesome for a tour"

"Best maintained resort for a homely stay"
I had stayed in this resort for 5 days from 15th to 20th march 2014. I consider this as one of my best resort's stay in the recent past. In spite being a very big resort of sprawling complex, the maintenance is extremely good. I was amazed at the way the blue dressed staff, keep the whole area buzzing with their cleaning activities whether it be the swimming pool or the lawns & gardens or interior road and path ways or the cottages or any other activity.
We enjoyed the beautiful swimming pool and relaxed around it on many occasions. The resort is conveniently located on a busy road with all type of restaurants, shops and a super market. There is a taxi stand just outside the Entrance for our travel needs. But the fact remains, that the taxi fares are bit on the higher side, which is a common feature all over Goa resorts.
There is a very useful store with in the complex,the rates of which are reasonable from where we can buy our daily needs from news paper,milk, to all beverages(including alcoholic drinks), groceries etc..there is very well equipped gym and children's play area. The in house Air conditioned bar & restaurant is excellent for the service and the quality of food items. The rates are slightly higher when compared to the restaurants outside the resort. But I preferred to take the food in the in-house restaurant itself, as i could not compromise on the neatness and quality by going out.
The room service was great. Rooms were cleaned every day by replacing all the towels and other items in the bath room.The air conditioning and hot water facility was excellent.
The main Benaulim beach was just walking distance from the resort.
When I am to comment on the best of part of my stay in the resort, it is the excellent manners, pleasing attitude and smiling faces of all the staff starting from the Manager Mr. Migul, Ms.Merlin at the reception, Ms.Rayna at the stores to name a few and all the other staff whose names I do not remember. I was told very nicely about the general manger M/s Neha whom I missed to meet during my stay.
I wish to visit and stay in this resort for longer duration in the years to come.
