Upon arrival the front desk became nervous because we arrived with 8 other people. Although that there were 3 people at the desk, only one was working. Rooms are not 4* quality. When you sit at the toilet, your knees bump at the door. And I'm only 5.3". The badcurtain is smelly, and it is a curtain!! The soaps offered... More

We stayed here 10 days on a family holiday and booked 2 rooms (1 for the parents, 1 for the boys). At first the hotel looks quite classy, a bit business like but clean. Only at second sight you see that this hotel urgently needs an upgrade to keep up with what is expected from a 4 star hotel. A... More

This hotel is modern and clean and even quite glossy. It has two good pools. There seems to be only a few staff on duty. They seem well meaning but poorly trained. The staff seem keen on form filling rather than service. eg You fill a form to receive a towel for the pool. They also charge for all extras....even... More

Stayed here 3 nights. Location is not perfect, hotel has all you need, but its not pleasant. 25 eur to play tennis with kids rackets and old balls. If you charge that much, let it be good and splve it, but the personnel at the hotels of this group is nit empowered to solve things..... In the end no value... More

Nice clean room. The rooms are situated around the garden, so that no street noise reaches them. The breakfast is the same every day, but there is plenty of choice like you would expect in a hotel of this range. Staff is very friendly and helpfull. We advise you to take room and breakfast. We dined in the hotel the... More

The Royal Gardens is on the outskirts of Ponta Delgrada a 5 minute walk/10 minute stroll to the centre. The staff were friendly and efficient, the standard of cleanliness was high both outside and inside the hotel. The hotel has a Japanese influenced décor and a Japanese style courtyard garden which worked very well. A rear garden had lawns, a... More

Checking in was fast, efficient, very friendly. Upgrade was welcome. 20 Euro extra per night to have beds so as to accommodate 3 people. (one was a child, so I thought that to be odd) The jr suite was very large, 2 bathrooms and large balcony overlooking Japanese style garden. Indoor pool area was extremely hot, as there is glass...

Perfectly fine large hotel property, clearly popular with tour groups. Our modest balcony overlooked the oriental-inspired garden. We appreciated the convenient complementary parking and the large indoor pool with jacuzzi and sauna. The breakfast spread was impressive, with many local cheeses and baked goods along with many hot items. Hotel staff were friendly and helpful, recommending activities and facilitating a... More

Check in pleasant, light and airy hotel. Ate in the bar which was showing Euro 2012!! Food was good and plentiful. Rooms would benefit by having more comfortable beds- the mattresses felt like straw and the squeak it made when you turned over suggested there might have been mice inside!! Breakfast was more than adequate. Balconies all overlooked the Japanese... More
