Pros:

Really nice stay at Royal Beach! Great location right next to the beach, lovely cottages, and a very relaxing atmosphere. Perfect place to unwind and enjoy the coast. Would happily stay again!

Cons:

The place has a lot of potential and the cottages are lovely, but during our stay it still felt unfinished. There was ongoing construction and maintenance work, and facilities like the restaurant were not operating yet. Once everything is completed, it could become a really great place to stay.

Pros:

Emplacement le plus calme de la plage
La vue

Cons:

Proche d’un resort qui organise des soirées et karaoke
Pas d’eau chaude
Installation électrique dans la douche hyper dangereuse avec les cables apparents
Ménage pas terrible: draps sales et salle de bain pas nettoyée, tablette de lavabo rempli de savon séché…
Pas de petit déjeuner pour le prix
Une très forte mauvaise odeur de canalisation presque insupportable.

Perfect spot!
Pros:

The most perfect location - right on the beach!! Close to restaurants,
Ali the chef done us a lovely breakfast, and fresh fish meal one evening!

We were the only people staying at the property, due to the war in Middle East, so it was very very quiet!

Cons:

Parties on the beach that started at midnight until 3am! Would be my only complaint - which is out of their hands, but wasn’t ideal when going on a safari at 5am!

Geen aanrader.
Pros:

Het uitzicht.

Cons:

Bij Royal Beach verbleven we twee nachten. De ontvangst voelde in eerste instantie vriendelijk en we werden geholpen met de tassen na een lange tuktuk-rit. We kregen meteen de vraag of we wilden dineren en arrack wilden proberen. Als ervaren reizigers laten wij ons meestal niet zomaar overrompelen, maar de medewerker speelde dit heel handig, waardoor we toch instemden.

Later bleek dat we voor zowel het diner als de arrack veel te veel hadden betaald. De medewerker had bovendien aangegeven geen kosten voor het ophalen in rekening te brengen, maar we kregen geen wisselgeld terug. Dit voelde niet eerlijk.

We waren de enige gasten in het resort (vijf huisjes) en ’s avonds vertrekt de medewerker, waardoor je volledig alleen op het terrein bent. Wij zijn niet snel bang, maar als vrouw alleen had ik dit zeker niet prettig gevonden.

Het resort zelf oogde onverzorgd, de wifi werkte slecht en onze reisstekker paste niet in het stopcontact doordat je het knopje dat het stopcontact activeert indrukt. Dit is opgelost met een andere stekker vanuit de accommodatie, maar het roept vragen op als alle huisjes vol zouden zitten.

Tot slot: ik kan niet alles benoemen omdat ik de medewerker hierop heb aangesproken en heb beloofd bepaalde details niet te delen. Al met al was ons verblijf helaas een tegenvaller, vooral door het onprettige gevoel dat dit alles gaf.

Enttäuschend und nicht zu empfehlen.
Pros:

Die Lage ist direkt am Meer und von außen sieht die Anlage auch wunderschön aus. Der Strand ist nur wenige Meter entfernt.
Das Personal war sehr zuvorkommend, immer hilfsbereit und sehr zuvorkommend.
Wir waren Ende Okt da und hatten sehr viel Glück mit schönem Wetter.

Cons:

Für den Preis ist die Unterkunft nicht zu empfehlen. Für das Preisniveau haben wird deutlich mehr erwartet. Diese Qualität bekommt man überall anders für 20 EUR die Nacht.
Es sieht zwar alles schön aus, aber die Bungalows sind nicht wirklich gut konstruiert worden.

Wir wollten eigentlich direkt am ersten Tag wieder abreisen. Aber das Personal hat uns versichert, dass alles sauber ist. Nachdem jedoch abends ca 20-30 Kakerlaken im Zimmer unterwegs waren, waren wir gezwungen in einer Nacht und Nebelaktion ein neues Hotel zu beziehen. Dort ist alles super und kostet nur die Hälfte.
Eine Erstattung für die zweite Nacht, die wir nicht in der Unterkunft verbringen konnten, wurde nicht gewährt. Entsprechend wütend und enttäuscht sind wir.
