Royal Park Hotel - All Inclusive

“Great Family Stay, with a few minor criticisms”

This is my completely honest review of Hotel Royal Park, we travelled with a group of 8 adults & 1 baby from the 8th-20th August. On arrival, we were greeted with a bag of snacks as it was after midnight and so we had missed the dinner slot. The first issue arose at the check in desk when we were allocated a room on the 6th floor when we asked for a room on the ground floor. This was to cater for one of our family members who had limited mobility. They said to come back to the reception in the morning. In the end, the problem was not resolved. The rooms are quite spacious. Double beds are two single beds pushed together (this was fine). The decor is nice. It was reasonably clean with fresh towels & sheets provided. The bathroom was clean with shampoo & hygiene packs included. The bed was reasonably comfortable, which made for an alright night sleep. The air conditioning in the room was not working, which was not ideal in the hot temperatures. Breakfast was a buffet style on the ground floor of the hotel. Large seating area provided indoor & outdoor. A variety of food on offer, coffee machines & a juice bar. The food was average, may not be ideal for picky eaters, but they do provide a lot of choice. The pool area is lovely, great for kids. There is an outdoor bar which was fabulous. The only downside was the long queue in the heat, however, at certain times of the day there could be no queue. There are lounge chairs provided, however, it can be difficult to reserve them so get down early in the morning. There is a snack bar beside the pool which was very convenient they serve fries, burgers etc. There is also a bar in the lobby area, which again had unpredictable queues. That being said, the service was great. You got what you ask for, and the barmen are nice. The beach is a minute walk from the hotel. You can get sunbeds and umbrellas down there too. There is a great water park just 5 minutes from the hotel, this in included in your stay. There is a supermarket on site, as well as a large supermarket 5 minutes from the hotel gate. There are a few restaurants outside the gate also, notably White Bar, Jack Sparrow & Paco's. All great food and good atmosphere too. There are plenty of souvenir shops around and a funfair for kids. There was a great schedule at the hotel for kids entertainment also. The lifts in the hotel are very slow and inconvenient. They may not even come to your floor at all. There are stairs as alternative, may be an problem for those with mobility issues. Overall, I don't think the place deserves the terrible reviews it receives. It was worth the money we paid. We thoroughly enjoyed our family holiday.
