This resort is fabulous and we would recommend to anyone. The setting is beautiful, the pool wonderful and the service was extraordinary. By the second or third day, we didn't even have to give our drink order; the waiters brought them over as soon as we arrived at the pool. The food was great, with our favorite being Azia and... more

Room was gorgeous. The layout and the feelingg you get when you went through the hallways and/or stairway to your room was priceless! Distance to the beach is amazing. It's an all inclusive, all adult resort with an elite spa. It was extra safe with a gate entrance and consistent security control in the evenings. more

We travelled to Royal Hideaway September 19-23. This can be a great resort, depending on what you are looking for. We've travelled to many all-inclusive resorts in the Caribbean, and always have a great time. We don't get hung up in the details, and always manage to have a great trip where-ever we go. Things we liked the most :... more
