My husband and I just got back from our honeymoon at the Royal Hideaway. All I can say is that this resort was amazing. There was not one complaint about the resport.

The rooms were very nice and were kept extremely clean. We had a Luxury room facing another resort, but it was still nice. Villa #31 is very nice as it is close the the pool and ocean. The beds were extremely comfortable - felt right at home.

The food was excellent - due to the low occupancy (30%), only 2 places were open a night, but that was fine. The International was our favorite, didnt care for the Italian very much - but that could be because we are from NY. 24 hour FREE room service was amazing!!

The pool was great - the beach was a little disapointing, but the pool made up for it! Some of the other resorts on the strip have better beaches, but its so hot that you cant stand to lay at the beach. We did lots of excursions - there is a lot to do down there.

Service was the best I have ever seen - would highly recommend for a honeymoon or any couples vacation. Not a place for kids or party animals. No swine flu - dont worry about that at all.

The best resort I have ever been to - can't wait to go back!!

I kept the honeymoon a surprise to my new wife and when we arrived she was literally stunned for almost two days. She kept going on and on about how beautiful the property was, how friendly the people were, and how perfect everything was. I realize that this is one of the pricier places in the area, but for an all-inclusive resort you could not do better than the Royal Hideaway. We didn't do much but lounge at the beach and pool, eat and drink for a week, but we couldn't have asked for more. The staff calls you by name, and were just as pleasant whether I tipped them or not, although at $2 per round of drinks at the pool I thought it was a bargain. The buildings, rooms and resort grounds were so beautiful it felt like being in a movie. This is definately not the place to party like the resorts on either side, but I could not have picked a more perfect honeymoon location. After seeing our pictures and hearing our stories, all our other married friends were jealous, and we're already planning a return trip next summer for our anniversary!!

Just got back from an 8 night stay. What a phenomenal resort! I felt like someone called me and asked what I would consider the ideal vacation - the Royal Hideaway was everything I would ask for.

The grounds are absolutely beautiful. Every room has a view of either the gardens, which are perfectly manicured, or the ocean, which is the most beautiful shade of turquoise I've ever seen. As you stroll the grounds and catch the first view of the water, it takes your breath away.

Service is first class - whether you tip or not. The staff seems to really enjoy their job of pampering the guests. It is a shame the beach has eroded - but the views are still amazing and the infinity pool was my favorite location. Carolina our concierge was such a sweetheart and was always available when we had a question or arrangements to make. The housekeeping staff kept the rooms immaculate. Room service was always available and brought whatever we asked for. The food in the restaurants was exquisite - especially considering this was an all inclusive resort. We were not expecting the gourmet meals we were able to enjoy. Each dish was unique and tasted phenomenal. Dinner was never rushed - the service was very attentive.

The resort was quiet and peaceful, a benefit of the low occupancy (and the swine flu threat!) It did not bother us that all the restaurants were not available every night - we were able to eat in each one twice. Breakfast was amazing - the view combined with the wonderful assortment of food (the pastries are to die for!) was very relaxing. I also loved having a cheeseburger by the pool for lunch - no need to move, everything was brought right to my lounge by the amazing poolside waiters. I am a mom of 4 so it was a real treat having someone else wait on me for a change.

I have run out of words to describe this resort! We are hoping to return in the future. I cannot think of a better place to relax and be pampered. Thanks to the staff of the Royal Hideaway for offering such great service.

We returned last night from a 4 night stay. The service was excellent and we rarely had to ask for anything twice.

The rooms are super clean and comfortable and 24 hour (limited menu) room service was nice.

The beach has eroded but was adequate and the pool overlooking the ocean was all one could ask for.

The retaurants were closed on a rotating basis so one could experience almost all of them with some planning. Each set of rooms has a concierge so there is little left to chance if you use their services.

The pool servers are astoundingly efficient and food and drinks arrive in minutes of being ordered. I found the selection of Mexican beers a bit limited, but all call brand liquors were available.

We did a reef dive with the adjacent Barrakuda Dive Shop. The instructor will give you a crash course in the pool and one can dive that afternoon on a modest reef 10 minutes from the resort. The instructors were top notch, the equipment good, and safety primary. (Ask for Omar).

All in all very satisfying. If the resort had been full the restaurants might have all been open, but the service might have suffered.

We have stayed at larger resorts like the Rui Palace next door and they are very nice as well. Since Royal is smaller, I found it more intimate and the service better.

We'll certainly go back.
