The suite had a wonderful view, and the staff, especially Chris, were amazing and always very helpful. The pools were nice, and the private beach was calming. Although the resort is far from downtown, there are plenty of dining options nearby. The resort operates as a timeshare, so the suite did look lived-in in the bathroom, but the space was clean and comfortable.

I have both positive and negative things to say about the Royal Sea Aquarium. It is in a great location with many restaurants and bars within walking distance. No room has a bad view, all room categories have amazing views. The pools and lounge chairs are well maintained and relaxing to spend your day around. The beach has a great view BUT is very hard packed and lots of shells -- hard on the feet! Every single staff member was SO friendly and helpful. The on-site restaurant food was fantastic but service could be a little slow. We stayed in a ground floor studio and loved that its was poolside. However, the beds & pillows were SO uncomfortable -- this is the ONLY reason why we will not return. We had a TINY kitchenette area with a mini fridge that could barely hold anything. The bathroom (bathtub and toilet)was sufficient but way too small. Overall, our only disappointment with the Royal Sea Aquarium was with the room itself. Improvements could definitely be made. Most notably, THE BEDS!!! Only reason we were ready to leave was because of the beds -- very unfortunate.

Unique property, good overall location on the island. Has his own beach, upscale restaurant, in a very nice poor patio overlooking the ocean. Staff was very professional, could’ve been a bit more guidance about where to park but once we figure that out, everything was great.
