We really enjoyed our stay at Royal Sea Aquarium. The staff was very welcoming and helpful. We particularly appreciated the fact that the resort is small and quiet, it’s easy to get around. We had a wonderfull view on the ocean. The room was super clean. The food at the restaurant was really good too.

Royal Sea Aquarium is great! Had everything we needed and staff were super friendly and accommodating. The rooms are a little outdated but very clean and nicely appointed. The resort throughout was very clean. The private beach is great, super clear water and secluded from the public. Waking up to see the dolphin training across our balcony was a great experience.
