The resort had three high rise blocks and a 4 floor block. We were located in a 2 bedroom apartment in the 4 floor block called Royal Palm which was also the home of the resorts sales activities.

We attended a holiday ownership presentation whist at the resort and the presentation was enjoyable with no undue pressure applied to buy anything and we received a free breakfast and 75$ for attending.

The air conditioned apartment was on the 4th floor, it was lovely and spacious with a fully fitted kitchen with a dishwasher and washing machine. There were two balconies.

My wife and I had travelled from the UK with our daughter and her two children (aged 1.5yrs and 2.5 yrs) so it was great that there were three pools to choose from with the main pool and nearby kids pool being particularly child friendly and well designed. It had a pool bar and cafe and there was some limited early evening entertainment.

We used the resort as a base to explore the Fort Lauderdale area and whilst there is a free daily shuttle bus to Pompano beach I believe you really need a car if you are to make the most of the area unless you just plan to laze by the pool each day.

The highlight was driving up and down the AIA coastal road between Hollywood and Boca Raton enjoying the fantastic views and luxury waterside houses. We also visited an Indian reserve in the Everglades but did not get to ride on an airboat because they would not take my American Express card!

This is our 3rd visit to this Wyndham resort. The handicapped accessible unit was set up very well with a roll-in shower with a seat. The resort continues to be well maintained with a significant difference in general attitude of the staff. I did not hear one single complaint this year versus many in the 2 previous years. The registration area was moved to a central building and check-in went very well. The furniture in the unit is showing wear but still in good shape. The beds were very comfortable. The 2 main pools were cooler than we would like. The smaller pool was just the right temperature the first week but too cool the second week. One major addition to the pool area was the addition of handicapped accessible lifts to each of the pools and hot tubs. You do need to be aware that across Atlantic Ave. is an area with a label that a local related to me (the hood). So if you go to the Walmart after dark just be careful and aware. We have not had any problem but there were groups of young adults wandering the store and parking lot. There are plenty of restaurants within a few miles and the resort does offer a free shuttle to and from the beach each day. We are going back next year.

Our 1 bedroom was extremely nice - king bedroom, 2 balconies (three if you consider we were on the corner and it wrapped around). Granite counter tops, all the appliances in the kitchen were new as was the cookware. Master Bathroom had a large heart-shaped jaccuzi and large shower. Half bath included a shower. Pull out sofa in living room. Large flat screen TV with basic cable and a large CRT in bedroom. Bedroom even had a small refrigerator and counter/cabinet space. We enjoyed playing minature golf - the course was very well maintained. My wife enjoyed the spa and we hung out at one of the 4 pools. We didn't try any of the hot tubs or activities. It does have an activity center with a pool table, air hockey and arcade games. The property was secure and very well maintained. Our only issue was that most people staying here were senior citizens. I guess that's better than kids running and screaming everywhere, but if you are going expecting it to be a happening place for a younger set, this isn't it. I could see how families could really have a good time though due to the onsite amenities and the security of the place. We didn't try the bar & grill as it wasn't opened when we wanted it to be. It would be nice if there was an onsite restaurant (esp one with room service). Overall we were very pleased with our stay as all the staff was very nice. You can go use the beach facilities at other Wyndhams down the road (we did).

Stayed from 11 Feb 2013 to 17 Feb 2013. We had a two bedroom unit with two full bed in one bedroom, king bed with jet tub in master bedroom. Three Tv's one in each bedroom, one in living room. They do need to upgrade tv's in bedrooms to flat screens. Unit had full dining table and full kitchen, with oven and stove tops. Dishwasher and refrigerator with ice maker. Nice coffee maker and top line blender. Full place setting. Silver ware.

Unit has stackable washer and dryer. Plus down the hall of the unit, they had three full sized washer and dryers all free. So pack light and was often.

We were in building the Royal palm, that the spa and gym was in. We had a small pool in back, plus we could walk across parking lot and use the two huge pools. There is a shuttle bus to wyndham on the beach.

The beach wyndham we went to was the Royal vista. Very nice, they grill there everyday, mahi mahi sandwiches, chicken nice.

Parking is limited, may have to park Wyndham santa Barbara, about 1 block away from Royal Visit. It has ample parking.

The Palm Aire has gas Grills around all the pools that are kept clean.

Next door to Pam Aire is a winn dixie, not recommended, and a super Wal Mart across the street. I suggest Publix foe grocery shopping or Wal mart, Winn Dixie not good.
