Amaaaazing experience at Royal Beach. I rarely write long reviews but I think this resort deserves an applause for:
1. Reception- Juju is very cheerful, helpful and reliable. We had a smooth check-in during our stay.
2. Rooms- we booked their standard room which has a beautiful view of the property and the beach (FYI all their rooms are seaview rooms, just choose a room closer to the beach upon check-in if they allow).
Don't expect a five star room as this is a 4-star hotel. Overall, they have a decent room, comfortable beds and pillows, very strong waterflow in their shower (and you can keep the heater off so the water is not boiling hot while you're showering), and they provide you plates and cutleries in case you decide to bring food.
Overall, it was nice but could improve if they will do some repairs in the bath tub.
3. Food- we booked the rooms with breakfast. We were there during the weekday so there are only a few guests. According to Saw, a very nice and polite waiter at the restaurant, they prepare buffets when there are more guests in the hotel. Otherwise, they will let you choose from their menu and you can order the food you want for your breakfast. 0 waste as you order the food you chose. You can order and eat as much but they will cook it for you. I believe this is a great idea for the hotel. Special thanks to Sajeev, Roshan and Saw for taking care of us while we were in the restaurant.
But my most favorite part, you can bring your food and barbeque!! We enjoyed grilling and cooking our own good for 2 days. They will probide you with the grill, you just have to bring your own charcoal, etc. 10/10
4. The beach ⛱️🏖️ - if you're into diving and snorkeling 🤿, this beach is for you. They have abundant marine life and you can already see that near the shore. Alot of turtles 🐢, 🐙 and 🐠🐟. Just be ready with your swimming shoes as the beach is full of algea and seaweed (that's why our 🐢 friends are feeding and swimming by near the shore).
5. Other amenities - the resort is complete with all water activities including banana boat, fishing, diving, snorkeling, paddle, kayaks, etc. there is a swimming pool on the other part of the resort (I think it's more of family area), kids are and play place, there's a restaurant, Starbucks inside the resort, a cellar if you want to buy some liquor, and a disco/bar on another part if you're into nightlife.
Overall, this is an amazing resort and our new favorite one. Thanks to all the staff and a special shoutout Abdallah at the gate for helping out as much while doing some rounds, to the very active bearded man (sorry I don't know his name) who's always busy maintaining the resort. Everyone's very well-trained accomodating, polite and kind. We will definitely come back!!
