1) Royal Palm does have a generator.
2) Beach is fairly large and there are several shade cabanas. As far as swimming there, I personally do not swim there. There are a lot of sailboats who anchor out in the bay in front of RP. Many or most of them do not use sewage tanks.
3) As far as stairs, there are a couple of elevators, so rooms are all accessible via elevator. There are maybe a couple of stairs in the common areas, but not many.
4) I don't know right now as far as walking to BBB on the beach, because the place next to RP, whose name escapes me at the moment, closed, so the beach may be closed off by construction barriers.
5) When you say "west wing", I am directionally challenged. I would probably request the wing closer to the channel to the bridge for that reason. There are a couple of businesses on the other side that sometimes are noisy at night.
Enjoy!
