Resort was super clean, staff were extremely friendly and efficient. Food was better than expected as far as all inclusive food goes. We did have to switch rooms part way since we didn’t book Sat-Sat, but they made the process fairly easy. Pools were great and the beach was nice- not the best for swimming, but they have a user friendly shuttle to their sister resort where the water is calm and better for swimming. I would stay here again for sure!

I’ve stayed at many all-inclusive and this was by far the most inconvenient and worst experience. All items are NOT all-inclusive and have to pay an up charge for even some food items like real guacamole that is not from a plastic bag(which I saw being refilled). You wore a wristband like all other all-inclusives, but then had to submit your room key which they kept at any restaurant or poolside bar until you check out then have to sign a receipt just like you were paying. The rooms were clean but extremely dated like a 1950’s ceramic bathtub. I stayed at a RIU in July for $400 less with quality service, great food and amenities. Food was HORRIBLE and I mean smelt and tasted like it was spoiled. You can almost always eat a good omelette for breakfast, but it was even nasty. Service was not good at all, short-staffed and slow. One day out of 5 we were asked if we wanted drinks at the beach, but we had to go to pool bar to get service which you were ignored unless you just were assertive. I never leave reviews, but I had to speak the truth. If you are used to staying at all-inclusive resorts like RIU and Iberostar you will HATE this!!! I will never return!!! The reviews I read prior to booking had many returning vacationers that loved it, but clearly they had never experienced a good all-inclusive with quality amenities and service!! Don’t waste your money there are many other resorts that are available for same price or cheaper that will give you a wonderful experience!

Family oriented great pools for young kids. Needs more dinner options. By day 3 I was tired of the food and desserts being the same. Prefer a buffet style rather than ordering off the same menu. Making reservations to the other few restaurants available was difficult as they booked up quickly and frankly served much of the same food. Places to get drinks were limited and not really any entertainment except for 2 restaurants. Several planned activities during the day. Servers were friendly and worked hard to keep everyone happy. Beach was great. Visited during Spring Break so lounge chairs usually start being reserved by 7:30am and by 8:30 you’d be lucky to get a table. Since it has rooms allocated to time shares we had to change our room 3 days in. Resort took care of the move but it was still something unexpected to deal with during a vacation. I enjoyed my stay because it was a family event and the facilities were nice. I would not stay again on my own.

It was a relaxing getaway for me. The resort was fit for adults, children and families. The beaches were beautiful, the swimming pools, outdoor jacuzzi’s and the service was spectacular. There was a The one unfavorable thing was that the beach servers would take my room key to keep track of my tab and at times (in their business) it would be difficult to catch up to them when I wanted to return to my room.

The front desk staff and manager were very very rude and not accommodating. Often condescending. We had issues both at check in and check out that frankly ruined the experience for the adults in our group. I had confirmed twice before arrival we would be given all inclusive access upon arrival (and had proof in writing) as we had flown on a red eye and did arrive early. When we arrived they refused to honor this. We had 3 exhausted young kids with us and they wouldn’t give even the kids wrist bands to go eat prior to their set time, which again was never mentioned to me when I had emailed twice to confirm otherwise. We were told they didn’t care who we spoke to and to go ahead and complain it didn’t matter. Check out was very similar upon questioning a few charges on our room I was told they were not “uncommon” and just to sign. And when I did ask about the resort tax she pointed to a sign and said “can’t you read you have to pay it”. The charge itself wasn’t an issue just the way we were spoken to when we did ask was super rude. The staff everywhere else in the hotel were great and lovely. However it’s unfortunate two staff members working at the desk were so awful they tainted the stay. I wouldn’t recommend a Royal Resort based on this.
