Hi, we're just back from the Royal Beach it was the worst holiday I had ever been on!

The location of the hotel was excellent - 3 mins walk to Fenals beach which was really clean then a 10 min walk to Lloret de Mar.

The factilies at the hotel were not that good the 2 swimming pool well you could not even move in them because of all the people. The food was the same every day and I would not even feed my dog the food that they were making. The food had been sitting out for hours and it was cold. My family spent most of our money eating out every night because the food was that rubbish!

Accommodation was nice - it was small but you could live in it. I could never get to sleep at night because of all the fighting at night in the hotel. There was a fight every night at the hotel and it was noisly.

I would not even give the royal beach a 2 star never mind a 4 star. I would not go back even if somone paid me to, it was a hoilday from HELL!

just back from a great holiday staying at the royal beach hotel. the hotel was very clean and welcoming and reception staff were great.the rooms were basic but clean and the balcony was ok but could do with having a table.5 min walk from a great beach and good shops and bars all around the area.i'd say this hotel would be prefered by the younger generation. night time can be noisy but it's a great atmosphere in the bar and lounging in reception with a drink. also the bar men in the main bar are very cute and very friendly.hotel bar shuts at 12 but a quick walk across the road u have roxy's and the robin hood which was excelent with great staff. overall 10 out of 10 for everything great holiday.

Just got back from two weeks at the Royal Beach, there is so much to write about this hotel.

Hotel.

The hotel was spotless, cleaners running around from early morning until late in the evening, we even seen them dusting the lightbulbs!, the hotel can be very loud with the amount of guests saying,and the evening entertainment when it is in full flow is very very loud, you need to shout to be heard.

At the bar you can only get two drinks at any one time, and at night the queues can get very long.
There were a few fights among the guests while we were there, at one stage during the night it was more like a riot with over 15 guests throwing punches and the police had to be called, but with drink flowing all day and night and over 300 people watching entertainment in the same room it is always going to happen.

You can also get the cocktail of the day, which changes daily. The bar closes at midnight and most people go across the road to Roxys or the Robin Hood pub. We found the Robin Hood pub to be the most expensive pub in fenals, avarage cost of a coke was

This was our second visit to this Hotel. (Third visit for accompanying friends.)

The hotel accomodation was booked through Ferris Coach Holidays. Most of our party went by coach, however we flew with a couple of friends to Barcelona Airport catching a connecting train to Blanes. We then got a taxi which took 5 minutes to the Hotel.

The rooms were excellent and the maid service could not be faulted. Clean towels were provided each day, without fail, whether required or not.

We were All Inclusive. The food was varied, each meal however providing chips and salads for the non-adventurous eaters. You could not go hugry. The food trays were discarded and refreshed on a regular basis, which was welcoming given the horror stories you hear about on TV. Bar the 30 minutes breaks between meals and snacks, you could basically eat from 8am to 12 Midnight.

The Staff were great. The only comment we would make is sometimes the waiters tended to laugh and joke between themselves seemimgly ignoring the waiting queue. It is true you are only allowed 2 drinks per card, but that is truely the only inconvenience we experienced on this holiday. One which you soon become accustomed to.

The Entertainment could be better, however it could never suit everyone.

We would not hesitate to return and will be recommending friends and family to visit.

Yes, where can I begin with this hotel. IT IS THE WORST HOTEL I HAVE EVER STAYED IN. Overall the cleanliness of the hotel was very good. The cleaners were walking into your room on a morning, knocking first then walking in without you giving them an answer, which I thought was very rude as you may have been doing anything.
Our room was on the 2nd floor right above the main entrance which is in front of the bus stop which also has a pub across the road which is open until 3am!!to be polite it was probably the noisiest part of the hotel with buses pulling up every 15 mins and also the refuse collectors work night shift, without fail at 1:15am evry morning the refuse collectors were wcruising down the street in their big noisy truck, this helped me to get very little sleep.
The food I thought on the 1st day was ok, but as the days went on the more we were eating out, the food was nearly always the same and if you did not get there when the restaurant opened you ended up waiting to use the microwave as the food was cold, in the end we ended up eating out all of the time at a lovely steak house next door at the mini golf.
The entertainment was not the best, I have seen better in my local club, sometimes the entertainment was not starting until 11pm and the bar closes at 12am. The bar that is in the entertainment area gets extremely long queues, also you were only allowed 2 drinks at a time, mind you this did help us into getting free bottles of vodka to take home. LOL.
the only good thing was that you could get away from the screaming kids (which should have been at school) and go onto the roof top bar which had two jucuzzis and a small pool to relax in which was all strictly for adults only, mind you this did show as there was a couple making love in the jucuzzis, this actually went on for a couple of days before the staff got involved.

Overall the hotel was clean, fodd very poor and mostly far too noisy for me day and night.

I travelled to the Royal Beach with my daughter. This is the second time that we have been to the Royal Beach.

The hotel is kept very clean, cleaners come into the room every day to clean the rooms, and tidy up and make your beds if you are too lazy to do them yourselves. One day for some reason they hadn't been to our room, I called down to reception and they sent somebody up straight away. You can also call down to reception if you are having any problems (children running up and down corriders or noisy neighbours etc.) at any time of the day or night and hotel security will deal with it immediately.

The food is good, plenty of choice, with snacks available between meals so you haven't got to go to breakfast, dinner and evening meals at the set times if you don't want to. Allowing more freedom to choose the way you want to spend the day. There are chips available for the children (or fussy adults) if you're not willing to try the food.

The Hotel is literally only two minutes away from the beach and there are plenty of shops within easy walking distance. There is also an "English" supermarket straight across the road. Perfect for anything that you forgot to pack.

Hotel staff were very helpful, I only came across one member of staff that I would say could have changed his attitude. Otherwise everybody else did their best. The only downside to the holiday is the two drink limitation. I drink "Black Russians", Vodka, Tia Maria and coke, and this counted as two seperate drinks, that meant that I couldn't take it in turns with anyone to go to the bar, therefore lots of queing to get myself a drink.

The entertainment was good, although there was only two adults this time, on a previous visit to Royal Beach, there was 21 of us, 9 adults and 12 children with a variety of ages. There were competitions held throughout the day, darts, table tennis etc. Lots of games in the swimming pool, with certificates and medals for the winners and runners up, which the kids thought was great.

I would thoroughly recommend this Hotel to anyone, and look out Royal Beach, because we will be back!!!!

We visited Royal Beach in Aug/04...never again!!!
Cleanliness
This was fine...maids seemed to be about all day,which was nice.

Food
Wouldnt even feed my dog the food. Was freezing cold & if (like me) you dont like chips and chicken nuggets you aint going to have much luck im afraid!
The pizza place opposite the hotel is lovely, so is the steakhouse next to the mini-golf-try that instead!

Same goes with drink. Malibu & lemonade was just about drinkable. Not a lot of choice either. And dont get me started on the quest for the drinks. Keeping in mind the bar closes at 12!!!!!

We couldnt help thinking we would have saved a lot of money if we were to go self-catering!


Location
Perfect....2 min walk to beach,10 min walk to water park,20 min walk to lloret centre,couldnt of asked for better really!

Staff
Didnt really have any dealings with them,only the bar staff who did work incredibly slow..but seemed to want to get everyone drunk from the amount of spirits they used!!


Entertainment
What entertainment?
The only entertainment we found was the 20million (not an exageration!lol) kids in the pool area...you could hardly move in there.And there was no way you could sit around the pool to relax or read..you were drowned by the kids splashing you..or "bombing" you!!lol Also the kids that were on the roof top smashing glasses on peoples heads was also quite entertaining...i think not!! Maybe scary!!!
So I think I can safely say I will not be returning there!

We visited the hotel Royal Beach and were given two rooms between seven adults and one child. Bearing in mind that one was over sixty and did not want to sleep in the same room as her brother in law, and in another room my husbands sister did not want to share with her brother and myself. Plus the smallish room had four beds in each two of these were camp beds. We complained to the reception and told the only way around this was to pay for another room which we had no option but to do so, but they could only promise us this room for five days and the last two we had to wait and see if there was a cancellation, fortunately there was.

The hotel itself was clean and tidy and the cleaners were always pleasant and friendly. They came in daily to change the towels and make the beds, which were changed once.

The food was what I can only describe as diabolical; being a vegetarian the only real choice I had, if that

The rooms in the hotel were very clean from are room you could see the pool that was very good because my mum could leave us at the pool but keep an eye on us
The food in the hotel was good and there was a wide selection of food to choose from but if u are staying for 2 weeks it can get boring
the location of the hotel is very good it was a 5 minute walk to the beach and there was plenty of shops surrounding it and the big shopping center in loret was only a 15 minute walk or there was a bus right outside the hotel that comes every 15 minutes
The hotel staff were very friendly and they made u feel welcome
The entertainment was very good and if u like dancing its great
I would love to visit the hotel again it was a very nice hotel

We stayed at the Royal Beach Hotel from 11th July - 24th July 2004.
We stayed on an All Inclusive basis and found the food to be very repetative and very boring! it had no taste whatsoever and i dont think we had one "hot" meal in our 2 week stay! Every day was chips, salad, a meat dish and chops. The kids buffet didnt do much for mine either, aleays chips etc and always cold.
The cleanliness of the hotel we could not fault, it was very very clean and the cleaner for our room was a very nice lady. Towels were changed everyday (when they didnt forget to bring us some more!!)which is quite annoying when you dont find out that you dont have any until you are standing in the shower!!. Overall though, the hotel is a very clean and tidy hotel!
The Hotels location is brilliant, it takes about 3 minutes to walk to Fenals beach, shops surround the hotel as do restaurants and bars. Llorett town is about 15 minutes walk away or you can catch the bus from right outside the hotel. It takes about 20 minutes on the bus from the bus station on LLorett to get to Tossa De Mar, which is a good day out!!
The staff at the hotel were not the friendliest people i have ever met. The 2 guys that worked on reception were lovely, very friendly and very helpfull, they do a great job. The hotel bar staff have a very hard job to do and it shows, we found the majority of them to be very bad mannered and sometimes quite rude to other people, although a couple were really lovely guys!
The entertainers were soooo nice, they were a great laugh and very good with all of the holiday makers there, but......... the entertainment programme leaves a lot to be desired. Sometimes the main slot didnt start until 10-11pm which is a bit too late for some people, especially the familys that had very young kids, by then they were up in their rooms. I think they could re-decide how they work it!
As for ever coming back to this hotel again...... the way it is at the moment, no we wouldnt, we are not a picky family and we make the most of whatever we are dealt, a lot of the other holiday makers felt the same as we did! and would not return unless things were going to improve.
