8/10 – Zeer goed
10 aug 2025
Good experience:
- The royal restaurant is generally better at food quality and you get bottled drinks
- The swimming pools are well maintained and feel clean
- The royal experience desk staff is super friendly and helpful
- Evening live music is good
- The beach is good to have as a marketing advantage, but it’s not maintained and practically abandoned
- Hotel car parking was never an issue
Bad experience:
- The hotel claims it’s not allowed to reserve sunbeds. If you’re 2 minutes late though (opens at 9:00), you’re not going to find anything available. The “racing” queue starts at around 8:30 and it’s just pathetic. Why does the hotel allow this behavior? See photos.
- Dead cockroaches inside and outside the restaurants (not very royal if you ask me)
- Very bad outside cleaning in general, stains and just dirty when it gets wet
- The bars are supposed to serve food/snacks until 17:30 and the drinks until 18:00. In reality, the food section guy leaves for the day around 17:00 and the cocktails stop at 17:20-17:30 (you can still get regular stuff like soda though) - based on the Goa bar experience
- The food choices are not very friendly if one doesn’t eat pork. There were days when 4 out of 5 options were pork. I understand it’s cheaper but some inclusiveness would be appreciated nonetheless
Conclusion: good hotel. A bit worn down. Could use some proper cleaning. I wouldn’t stay here more than once.
Thank you very much for the warm welcome and the stay!
