My husband, 4 year old son and I spend 7 days at Royal mansions in february 2012. This was our first time to the Cocoa Beach area, and we LOVED it!! It has the small town feel right on the ocean but central to orlando attractions, airport, and the Daytona speedway/ Beach.
The unit that we stayed in was a private owner, and it was very clean and had all the amenities that we expected. We did have a few minor problems, but nothing that was a deal breaker. We would stay in unit 3401 again! As for the Royal MAnsions property in General....In needs some updating! ...the outside of the buildings are pretty grimey and the pool area was sufficient but could use some updating. Our friends rented a loft unit from the Royal Mansions management company...and it was awful...dirty, and almost everything was broken or too dirty to use. The location was excellent, right on the beach and close enough to walk along the beach to Jetty park, which we really enjoyed! We were also able to watch a launch right from the beach in front of the condo, which was a great experience. We also saw lots of the cruise ships, and 2 NAVY submarines!!! There were DOZENS of great restuarants within a 10 minute drive, it was hard to choose! Ron Jons was great and so was the dinasoaur Store, but thats about it for shopping, there is a mall about a 20 minute drive away...but we chose to spend our time on the beach rather than shopping! My husband golfed at a nearby course which he enjoyed, we went surfing at melborne beach, collected shells, walked for miles on the beach, ate too much GREAT food, played mini golf, went to manatee park, spent a day at the Daytona 500.
All in all we had a GREAT trip and will be returning to the area next February forsure, although we may TRY a different condo complex. If you have any questions, please feel free to e-mail me!
Room Tip: The "loft" units have Too many steps!! None of the rooms have direct ocean views, but most...

As the General Manager of Royal Mansion Resort I would like to comment on "S-Spivey80"'s review of our property. I am not sure what unit was stayed in as we do not have a 3401 anywhere on property. I would also like to say we spend a lot of time to be sure our units are not dirty and are in shape to be rented, we do not rent with "broken" items. If there are any issues as the onsite management company we are here to fix immediately. Our property buildings were all painted in 2009 and the hallways and stairs were just repainted this year. The pool area was totally redone with new pavers, marcite and decking in 2010 so I am a little puzzled at the "outdated and grimey" references. While the penthouse units do have a lot of steps, we make sure our guest know before booking a unit. We do have direct oceanfront units, there are6 of every style on property with 2 of each in every building.
