This is the first time my family and I vacationed in Gulf Shores. We were very pleased with the cleaniness of the condo. However, I am an early morning coffee drinker and the beach was not as clean. I will say this that before 8:00 the beach crew was busy picking up the left over debris that the guest left from the day/night before. The beach was not very crowded because it is the last condo on the beach. I would recommend staying at the Royal Palms to my family and friends. Location is also very close to Orange Beach for any shopping you may need. more
