We had booked a week at the (TOP) Alexis Hotel in Lloret but it closed for the winter before we arrived so we were allocated to the Royal Beach instead. We had chosen the Alexis because it was a smaller hotel and very near to the promenade at Lloret. The Royal Beach is much bigger and in Fenals (a suburb separated from the main town by a headland).

We were worried about the "all-inclusive" aspect having read other reviews about drunkeness etc, but it didn't turn out to be a great problem. The was quite a bit of noise and commotion in the early hours of Friday and Saturday nights (obviously youngsters arriving back from "clubbing") but other than that it wasn't too bad. In fact there was more chance of being disturbed by people getting up in the early hours to catch their flight home. Whether this holds true in high season though I don't know.

The hotel was vey clean - in fact the maids seemed to be obsessive about it. The bedroom furniture in our room was moved every day so they could mop under it!

The food was decent, not a great deal of choice, typically one vegetarian dish, pices of fish, a stew of some sort and chicken or veal, with chips (most days) and some pasta and sauce. There were also "specials" Paella or other rice dish. Desserts, like most Spanish hotels, involved lots of variations on Creme Caramel and mousse but also rice pudding on several nights so I was OK. (The only thing better for me would be crumble and custard).

If you didn't like "spanish-style" food (and were on all inclusive) there was a "snacks" buffet open morning, afternoon and evening, serving more English foods like burgers (delicious), chips etc. You wouldn't go hungry at this hotel.

Entertainment was mostly music for dancing but there was a Flamenco Show and a slapstick comedy show. The noticeboard suggested that there would be more entertainment but this was very late season (and very, very inexpensive) so we weren't surprised.

I probably won't stay at this hotel again (prefer smaller and more central) but I wouldn't rule it out completely.

read the reviews a bit weary at first but had agreat time. rooms spotless food good but do they no wat puddings are it was the same every day but different colours. the staff were friendly drinks good and nice pool tho cold .the waiters even put up with my mate who ran wild chasing them round the pool.

had lovely relaxed holiday never booked indepandantly before so after reading reviews was real negative about going on the holiday...couldnt critisize anything apart from entertainment but never effected us...hotel staff,cleanliness,location,food all good for price of holiday was was complete bargain. flights,transfers all ran like clockwork...so would definatly consider booking again returned home batteries fully charged.

Had booked this hotel, but had slight reservation after reading reviews. Travelled with 2 adult and 2 kids (one aged 16 and the other aged 12.)Was very impressed how clean the hotel was. Rooms was also very clean and the maids were in every day. Food was Ok but quite repetitive. Drinks were okay but it was the local alcohol which was very poor. Entertainment was ok but repetitive as they only had a one week schedule but it was fine for the kids. My 12 year old loved it! My 16 year old loved the freedom as he could go into Lloret by himself as it was only a 10 minute walk or go to the beach beach which was just down the road. Would definatly go back.

Just returned from this hotel , we were more than concerned about previous reviews we had read. On our arrival we was greeted by helpful reception staff and a very clean hotel. The room was a touch small but cleaned every day.The restarant was again very clean and the food was plentiful it only repeated itself towards the end of our stay. This hotel was only about 20% british the rest of the guests were mixed from across europe. It can get a bit noisy some times but we were there at peak season and this wouldnt stop us from returning again.

Great hotel and fantastic value for money. Reception staff helpful, hotel is spotlessly clean. Plenty of sunloungers by the poolside.

Food was plentiful, always hot and the chef was forever bringing out more!

Good location, only 2-3 mins to the beach and 10 mins to Lloret de Mar centre.

Entertainment was repetitive but we didn't really stay at the hotel in the evening.

I would recommend this hotel and would certainly return again in the future.

Just got back yesterday and really the only compliant was the weather - rained constantly for 4 days out of 4!! The hotel was what we paid for - all inclusive for

I liked this hotel- it was very clean and well situated- just a minute from the beach, and a regular bus service stops right outside the front door.

The entertainment was not great but there was a good choice of food and although the bar was sometimes busy that we had to queue one expects that when you go all inclusive.

The only complaint we had was the weather, we had rain everyday, and like the previous poster we had a nightmare transfer with Perla Tours- we had to wait nearly 3 hours to get on the bus, the driver then dropped the Calella people of first which meant we also had over an hour on the bus. I do not think 4 hours is acceptable when the hotel is only half an hour away from the airport.

They were also late in collecting us, which meant we nearly missed the flight home.

However I do recommend the hotel and the resort.

We travelled as a party of fifteen workmates on a weekend break aging from 17 to 59.

The hotel was very clean and the staff were helpful and cheery. OK its not 5* but it is ideal for a weekend break.

Food was good with a good selection at every meal.

Rooms were clean and cleaned daily.

We were A/I and the alcohol was good however the bar does get busy during evening and this causes queues. However this gives you a chance to talk to people as you wait!!

Having read the reviews before we went we expected worse than what we got, reality was, yes people were drunk, no it wasn't overly noisy, no there wasn't kids running around, no there was no trouble!!

It is not a hotel for families in the winter, it is geared more towards older people on a short cheap break and it is good value for what you pay.

We will be going back again this year!!

Rooms clean but very thin walls allowing every sound to be heard from neighbouring rooms.
Restaurant cramped when full. Staff very noisy when clearing tables. Food poor, always cold, very repetitive.
Bar more like dark airport lounge.Selection of drinks good and bar staff cheerful but need to be more discerning when serving more alcohol to obviously very drunk people.
Entertainment rubbish. International singer sounded like she was on helium when beting out Neil Diamond hits! Quiz taken over by fellow guest when nobody could understand heavy accent of entertainment staff.
Embarrassed to be British when faced with the appalling behaviour of other guests. Hotel failed to do anything to help situation.Should be advertised for 18-30 holidays or stag/hen parties. Not suitable for families.
