Since Royal Palm is basically a timeshare most available rentals will be by the week with either a Sat., Fri. or Sun. beginning and in that order. To rent from an owner you would have to rent back to back weeks. I would suggest checking HERE. I did a quick check and found availability for around $215/night. There are taxes and resort fees involved that bring the total daily rate to around $270/night. It is going to be tough to rent 5 days any other way. You might also try some of the travel sites.

Yes, RP is available for specific days as a hotel for sure on several websites. It costs more than renting as a timeshare, but for specific days, like for this poster, probably makes more sense.

DougK37614 said: I checked on Hotels.com and the non-refundable rate is $134 per night or $179 for refundable. A very good deal. You may need to be a free member to access those rates. Can anyone lead me in the right direction to secure a 2 bedroom for 5 nights at RP (June 15 check in - June 20 check out)? Thanks. Is that for a 1 bedroom or a 2 bedroom unit? When I checked Expedia and also Hotels.com for a 2 bedroom the rate was $215/night + taxes and resort fees plus a $50 fee at the resort. Hotels.com is showing the 1 bedroom at the $179 rate currently and I did not see the lower price you mentioned. I am not a member so perhaps that skewed the rates. Be aware there is between 20% and 25% additional taxes and resort fees added to the daily rate. For 5 nights I came up with a total price of approx $1390 or around $278/night for a 2 bedroom. Taxes/fees vary slightly from site to site but are within a few $$ of booking directly with the resort.

Thanks but I am not the one looking to rent, just trying to help the original poster. I would be leery of suggesting they rent a 1 bedroom going in if in fact they know they need 2 bedrooms. There is also 20% to 25% additional in taxes/service charges in addition to the resort fee.
I have stayed at Royal Palm multiple times and in all variations of their units. I rent direct from owners.

Good deal. A "full size" car is not what you see in a lot of rentals. Contact one of the sponsors, some of them have SUV's that might work for you.
