Royalton Negril Resort & Spa

The hideaway restaurant, Dorado, was fantastic. The Chilean sea bass was what you would expect at a top-tier restaurant. The service was classy and respectable. Overall the resorts decor and design was very classy and well-appointed. We had a couples massage that was worth every penny!

This resort is not for those looking for a quiet romantic getaway. The pool is always loud with a member of the hotel’s “Vibe team” creating some activity, work out, or game. It feels like a spring break experience most would be looking for in a Cancun resort with college friends. Additionally, it did not seem like there was any one person in charge of anything. We made reservations for the Zen restaurant one night, only to find out an hour and a half before dinner that the restaurant was closed that night... every week. It turns out someone gave us a reservation but had no idea the workings of the resort. Seems like that happened a lot: told we could do this, but in reality no you can’t, or this can’t happen, turns out no problem mon. Lots of inconsistency. Overall it’s a classy place, just needs to tighten up around the edges and you need to know what kind of experience you’re getting. Also, no olive juice at the martini bar is a very small thing, but a good place example of not hitting the mark.
