Oct 12, 2025Another wonderful stay
We just returned home from our 25th stay at the Royal Hideaway, and this year's stay was excellent. (As an added bonus, even the weather cooperated, which isn't always the case this time of year.) We have been visiting this resort since we first discovered it in 2002, and have spent most of our wedding anniversaries here since that time. We appreciate the smaller size & quieter nature of resort, the ala carte meals, and above all, the excellent service. All of the RH staff provide great service, but some of them rise even above that high bar - those people include Ricky (our phenomenal concierge who is able to solve any problem, big or small), all the pool waiters (Luis, Javier, Eduardo, and Gennaro), and Carlos (the bell man who has been at the RH for as long as I can remember & who always greets us with a smile upon our return).

We will be back. Amazing.
Must stay if you want a top tier all inclusive that fits into your budget. Excellent staff and amenities. These people here are professionals that are here to make you stay as amazing and relaxing as possible. If you want a more relaxing, low-key type of stay without sacrificing luxury and that vacation feel. The breakfast buffet is amazing and the bars are very good. The restaurants offer a variety of cuisines that rival that of a 5 star spot in town. The room service doesn't disappoint either. The staff will help you book excursions and will recommended things to do in the area which is very helpful.

Oct 10, 2025Excellent couples resort
If you’re looking for a chill getaway, this is your spot! Lots of time to relax throughout the day & activities if you want. At night, there’s a small bar but nothing too extreme. We enjoyed our time here!
