The Arizona Royal Villa

Wonderful place for relaxing with quality people running the place and keeping it from being a party place. Go else where if that’s what you want and leave the resort to the rest of us. I’ve been going there since the days of the original Royal Villa. I’m in the hospitality industry and recognize a quality establishment.

Ive been here a total of three times. Each and every time I’ve been here, I felt like I was walking on egg shells. Simply put, the owner is an elderly, prude, and rude old man. I am in my mid twenties and love to be naked and lay out and sunbathe. I am quiet and completely respectable. I took advantage of the day pass. Each time I have been, the others gentlemen who were either staying at the «resort» or who had also purchased a day pass seemed to take a liking to me. For the most part people approached me and were easy to talk to and friendly. Basically I’m saying I got along with everyone and made no enemies. I was banned from the premises after my third visit. The owner didn’t speak to me before I left the property on my second visit, but rather waited for me to show up again on my third visit to tell me I couldn’t come in. He told me one of the gentlemen (whom I got along great with) had complained about me. I know for a fact that this was a lie and that the owner was making up complaints to address his insecurity with me being there. Being one of the only younger guys who goes there I suppose I attracted attention naturally. For the most part I would just lay out on my chair and read a book. Every once in a while I would jump in the pool and talk to the others who were out enjoying the pool as well. The owner even went as far to tell me that he’s seen me out at the pool «engourged» and that he thinks I come to the resort looking for sex. He told me to leave and to go to flex or chute. First of all I never did anything for him to rightfully accuse me of that. He was just taking jabs at me. Second of all I came to the Royal villas because it WASNT a bath house. I wasn’t looking for sex. And third of all… Wake up dude! You own a nude men’s resort. Yea I might get a semi, I’m a man… that doesn’t mean I’m looking for sex. That means I’m enjoying being naked, which is why I came to a NUDE RESORT. At first I respected all the rules and regulations because I understood that the owners simply wanted to keep things from becoming a free for all, and I appreciated that. But after the way the owner spoke to me and kicked me out based on the comment that he’s seen me «engourged» and sex hungry I don’t recommend this place. You literally can’t enjoy yourself without the owner spying on you and watching your every step. It’s really just not worth it. We’re all men, it’s a nude resort, I never did anything to seek attention and be obnoxious, grow up and lighten up. If I have to worry so much about being naked and what the owner is going to think, I might as well just keep my clothes on and go to a j. W. Marriot.

I stayed 10/​03/​2014 — 10/​05/​2014. I was in town for a wedding. I was very late checking in. Doug called to verify I was coming and was very understanding. Everything in room was perfect. Grounds are beautiful and well maintained. I enjoyed my stay so much I hated to leave for the wedding.

Went here while visiting a friend in Phoenix. Clean and well maintained. Went in with a day pass to enjoy the pool. Shade! You need to install some sort of shade structure as there is no way to get out of the sun and still be in the pool area.
I will be back, but with an umbrella of my own. lol

Called to book/​reserve room and my call was never returned. I then called back as I was 2 hours away from Phoenix and they said that all their rooms were too hot and I should have called earlier… I DID. Then he says I should find somewhere else since their air conditioning couldn’t cool down the room in 2 hours. How bad has this place gotten?

Not my first visit here, and I will be back in the future!
Kenny and Doug are great hosts! If there is a problem, they WILL make it right!!! Thanks again guys!!!
The place is clean and well maintained. Comfortable rooms, great pool and hot tub area. Safe, secure, and private!
After being a resort general manager myself, I truly appreciate all of your hard work and efforts!!! Cheers!!!

This is a sad excuse for a gay resort. Sort of like a worn out version of Palm Springs. We found the Zen Yard up on Maryland Avenue a much more agreeable experience in a better neighborhood as well. Zen Yard is a far better value, with full breakfasts included and warm, helpful hosts as well, not to mention particularly reasonable off-​season rates and hosts who are actually there for their guests.

A very comfortable, clean, and well maintained gay resort. The layout is perfect with guestrooms facing the sparkling pool and the waterfall jacuzzi. Free wi-​fi and expanded cable service is a nice addition.

This place is a poster child of how not to run a hospitality business. The front desk clerk (don’t know if he was the owner or not) was rude and curt with me. He made it a point to tell me when check out was the next morning, as if I was not welcomed. I did not understand why he was so rude, but I wasn’t going to put up with it. I told him if he wanted to act in such a manner I would take my hard earn money elsewhere. I won’t be back there under any reason.
Since I wound up not staying I cannot attest to the property’s standards and layout.

This Is a Gay clothing optional resort type hotel it is clean and simple on the outside a lovely on the inside.
the owners are as nice as they get always helpful and accommodating.
it very affordable great hot tub and pool area my room as do all the rooms have full kitchen and its just a great way to spend a week or a weekend in a great private safe atmosphere.
no hanky panky on the grounds or seedy out door scenes but lots of hot men to meet. I was worried that it was not very well located but then again everything in Phoenix is spread out so rent a car or drive your own Lots of good place to eat and the local talent is not to be missed. have fun and thanks royal villa
