We have sent 4 emails to the resort requesting 2 Queen beds in our Diamond Club room. No one has responded once. We have called 3 times, beginning on September 17th, to confirm we will have those beds form our family of 4. Each time, they said they will notify the Diamond Club and it will be "ok".

We have called 3 times, beginning on September 17th, to confirm we will have those beds form our family of 4. Each time, they said they will notify the Diamond Club and it will be "ok". We just called the Diamond Club and they said they never heard from a colleague and they can't guarantee a room with 2 Queen beds. No one is answering their phone at the moment either. This is terrible customer service and foreshadowing a horrible stay. Read less

Me and my husband visited this hotel in October for a 2 week holiday. I would definitely stay well clear of this hotel. We arrived at the hotel, and the rooms were not ready we were advised to go get something to eat and have a look around the complex. We went back an hour later to reception. They told us we had to download the royalton app to book the restaurants. I was not happy, because when I go on holiday I put my phone away so I can relax. We arrive I the room it smelled damp. The main buffet restaurant for breakfast wasn’t good the plates were cold, the supposedly hot food was cold. I couldn’t have a cooked breakfast as it was swimming in grease, the selection was very poor, some of the times they ran out of certain foods, early in the service, the coffee was always cold, and there wasn’t enough staff. There was an infestation of flies in the restaurant which was never addressed, and was only getting worse. It got to the point we point blank refused to sit in certain areas, and the staff did not like this. We complained that much they knew our room number before asking for it. Normally when I go on holiday I love cocktails, but they had no drinks menu, I complained, and I was told they would have a word with the bar manager, but nothing materialised. I tried 3 different cocktails, they were that bad I couldn’t drink them. The bar staff need to be re-trained, the straws are so bad after 2 minutes the straws are all split and are unusable. You get a lot of the staff coming around the complex asking if you stay is enjoyable, but when you say no and tell them why, you get the same standard reply. The speciality restaurants aren’t the best ,but at least the food was hot. Some of the staff didn’t want to be there, I think they were just going through the motions to get paid. The pool area always stinking of sewage from the toilets, if fact I the morning going into the bathroom in the room you could smell the drains, it was awful. The kids pool was shut due to maintenance. And on the second week of our holiday people were complaining because they could hire the cabanas as they had ripped the TVs out. We heard alot of people complaining, but nothing being resolved. The entertainment wasn’t very good considering we got charged £100 for a resort fee when we arrived. If we could have got a early flight home we would have left. The management should all be sacked, for such a Badly run resort. When we were leaving to go to the airport, we told the taxi driver, and he laughed telling me everyone he has picked up have said how bad this resort is. One thing I liked on the resort was the coffee shop, after going to the buffet for meals everyone would go to the coffee shop for a decent cup of hot coffee, and the staff were wonderful, nothing was too much trouble. This resort it not worth the money. Stay away. No doubt if someone from the royalton reads this review, the respose will be very automated. Read less
