The hotel is located in a beautiful place - on the beach with palm trees. Very beautiful territory - palm trees, baobabs. Green and blooming. Responsive staff - indulged our wishes, changing the rooms to one we liked without extra charge, even though we had booked a lower class room. On the last day, they allowed us to use late check out at 11 p.m. without additional payment, which was very pleasant. The choice of food is not large (especially at breakfast), but enough to always find something tasty. Unlike other AI hotels, the food never ran out even before the end of the meals. The Valentine's Day dinner was especially thought out - both the design and the wide range of dishes. Almost every evening during dinner there was live music. One evening (in 5 days) there was an African show. Beautiful pool, which never lacked sunbeds. Also on the beach there were free sunbeds available at any time. Appropriate glasses for spirits and wine, but cocktails were in cheap random glasses. Negative. The rooms are very very old, worn out. They are in dire need of renovation. There are many plates with chipped edges and dents in the restaurant. There are a lot of plates, they are never lacking, so the chipped plates could be removed from circulation and there would always be enough undamaged plates. Another drawback that can be easily eliminated - in the restaurant, the waiters quickly remove dirty dishes from the tables, but do not clean the tables - they remain crumbly and dirty. This is not a luxury hotel, but if you want to enjoy a simple but good hotel, then this is definitely it!

“Okay”

Hotel Royal was just okay. It's definitely a bit dated, but the room and bathroom were clean so that was fine. The shower tends to blast all over the bathroom, which is less than ideal, but a few extra towels and it was no biggie. The pool and grounds are cute, with petanque and a large chessboard … more

Hotel Royal was just okay. It's definitely a bit dated, but the room and bathroom were clean so that was fine. The shower tends to blast all over the bathroom, which is less than ideal, but a few extra towels and it was no biggie. The pool and grounds are cute, with petanque and a large chessboard to play also. Our biggest complaint was the overall vibe and food. The dinner buffet was just not good, the clientele was a bit of an older crowd, and the music they played was just worn-out 80s and 90s music (I say this as an older millennial myself), which just felt off. Service at dinner was alright, though be prepared to flag down servers if you want drinks (at least, we had to). Overall, this place was just a very dated and worn experience. We did feel safe and were able to walk to outdoor bars and restaurants, so that was a plus. Overall, it wasn't awful, but I wouldn't seek out staying here again.
