We returned to the Royal Hideaway to escape the Canadian winter for a relaxing week in the sun, Jan 21-28. We loved it last year, and this year it was even better! They have implemented some upgrades (in the rooms: new showerheads, new flat screen tv's, new iPod docking stations; on the beach: new lounge chairs), and everything else was... More

How can one not relax in a place that has beautiful views and access to the ocean!! Plus numberous pools and hot tubs to take advantage of. The staff from your villa concierge to the room and pool staff along with the waiters at the Hideaway know your needs and wants before you seem to. Meals, beverages and service are... More

It was a rough first day with our room, such as a toilet backing up twice and the fact that the connecting room for our son had an inoperable doorknob (and it took them 2 1/2 hours to replace the door knob).

I am extremely happy to see that this property, which was the first of its kind when it opened its doors, back in 1999, continues to be considered among the best in its class. I truly believe that it has all the ingredients to be one of the properties that a seasoned, and demanding traveler must not miss. The layout,... More

If you are looking for the ultimate relaxation vacation look no further. Excellent customer service, great food, fabulous top shelf drinks and lovely beach area. There are not too many beach view rooms as most of the rooms are in smaller villa type buildings. But this did not bother us at all. The rooms were well appointed, spacious, and equipped... More

They are pleased to help... More

I returned last week from a 6 day stay at Royal Hideaway. It was the most luxurious, beautiful resort I have ever been to. The physical grounds are lovely with a dozen or so villa type buildings scattered between the main building and the pools/beach. Each villa comes with its own concierge who knows you by name and takes care... More
