In short - a very uncomfortable hotel. At every step. Better - choose Rixos or Baron. In Royal you will be comfortable if you are used to living in a standard 1-2 room apartment, a maximum of 35 meters... with a view of the neighboring windows. Otherwise, the hotel is not for you. Design flaws, still at the design stage. The Royal concept is not thought out, it is absolutely meaningless. More details below. I concluded for myself: it was better not to show off, and go to Rixos (at a price it was only about 75 bucks more expensive, and in Baron it frightened the pontoon with its length. ). Interested in the concept. And I liked the name. Having tried it, I didn’t like it. I won't go here again.
Pros: the territory is large, beautiful, green. The reef is beautiful, partially killed. Fish - a lot. Staff: with rare exceptions - smartly trained and perfectly selected!! ! The staff is the biggest plus of the hotel! Perhaps everything.
In order. The manager at the reception - keep in mind if you do not give him a tip - will not accommodate you in the room that you paid for (overpaying even the Royal from the standard), but much worse. Really.
We arrived, we were met - led to a separate royal zone. They served fresh juice. It was delicious : ). One met us, saw us off - the second, the third brought the juice, the fourth brushed the crumbs off the table, the fifth took the passports. I got confused in them: who to tip. Not given. Decided to look at the number, what will give.
But that they would manage to settle us not in the Royal, but in the usual building of Monte Carlo - I could not even imagine... In vain...
Tour operator, wow! You kind of get a commission on the amount. And, if a tourist buys not a standard room, but an improved one, the commissions are higher, respectively... So, personally, I will no longer buy an improved room through TO. And I will recommend this to my friends. What for? Having overpaid 200 bucks, I could get the same number, but for 20. Tips. On site ; )
In short, they put us in room 178. Voucher - Royal... ! Even on the hotel map, which is in any room, this building is marked as NOT Royal. Yes, there are different buildings. So pale - not even serious...
Well, or at least teach the manager at the reception how to lie well. And then, with each of his subsequent phrases, he exposes his own, the previous one... And I looked at him - honestly, as if at... an imbecile in short... He understood this, and - finished: “And in Royal there is the first and second line from the sea. Yes, here... And your TO knew about it. I think, okay : ), let him think that I can’t read, well, or the hotel’s website on the Internet is not able to find. But, again, ay, tour operator! You were made beautiful! In the eyes of a tourist! : )
Number. An example of inconvenience and discomfort. 50 squares. By description. But! In the bedroom, personally, I constantly stumbled upon something. The passage is narrow. 50 squares include: bathroom (from 3 rooms! ), bedroom, corridor, terrace, plus furniture, 2 huge beds, plus all partitions. The terrace is large, chic, the view is beautiful, but it is impossible to sit on it. Chairs are wooden. Striped. The boards are lacquered. The pillow from the bedroom does not help. After all, the back is also pieces of wood : ) Extras. pillow on the back - and you are slowly but surely moving down from this pedestal... : )
Bathroom. Spacious bathroom with washbasin and 2 tiny cages on the side. One is with a toilet/bidet, the other is with a shower. If you are used to standard bathrooms in high-rise buildings, it will be fine for you. Maybe. But, if your toilet is more than 2 squares, it will be hard to fit : ) Especially in the shower to wash. In the elbows / shoulders presses: ) To the numbers. Toilet + bidet - approximately 0.8m (width) * 2m length. The shower is also about 0.8m wide. Each of these "rooms" has glass doors that open outwards. The lock is Velcro. Very weak over time. And the door to this one-piece bathroom from the corridor opens inward. Accordingly, every time it’s just scary to open the door: what if the inner one opens slightly? So as not to break it down... Each opening of the door - with a sinking heart....
Yes, and do not think that in the Royal buildings there are other furniture and other rooms. The same... I watched. Differences begin already with cosmic sums…. As for Egypt…. And - with the same bathrooms of the chamber type.
Bedroom. There is a plus, by the way! Bed! More precisely, the mattress is awesome! Very soft! I bought this mattress. The beds are wide, comfortable: even along, even across sleep. The pillows are soft and plentiful.
Corps and territory. The layout of the buildings on the territory is also not thought out and terribly uncomfortable. The territory is large, but the buildings are stuck so tightly that the windows overlook either the neighboring wall about 5 meters away, or the neighboring roof, and a piece of the sea is visible through the crack between the roofs... But it is called loudly: a room with a sea view....: ) Or the windows go straight to the terrace on the pool with vacationers, music, noise, etc…. Schematically, if: the building is a small lawn - a narrow passage - sun loungers by the pool. Those. the distance from your terrace to the nearest sun lounger is 5 meters… Maybe someone will like it, but I like to go out on the balcony/terrace in what happened and smoke. Here, it won't work.
Other buildings - overlook the roof of the pool bar + constant smells of cooking - not an option for me either. The only type of buildings that interested me personally is the Imperio (building L), opposite the Royal Beach. But there prices are like in the Maldives. Does it make sense to go to Egypt at the prices of the Maldives? Better off to the Maldives! : )
And another fly in the ointment Royal. For example, in JollyVilleGolf - the layout of buildings on the territory: building - large lawn - path - large lawn - path - pool area. It was comfortable and convenient for me to stay there, and I regretted that I didn’t go to them, especially since their prices are almost 2 times lower than Royal. I just did not want to go the second year to the same hotel. In vain.
Royal concept.
Beach. Included separate - Royal. But there is a caveat: there is no access to the sea from it....: )) Access to the sea at the hotel is common, from a single pontoon. Yes, one pontoon for the entire hotel! When I asked: why - in the summer, in July, in Egypt, in a 40-degree heat, the beach is comfortable, but WITHOUT access to the sea? I was told - uuuuuu....We have soooo... with a guilty look : )
On the common beach there are 3 separate pavilions with sun loungers for Royal guests. The photo of the hotelier had curtains and lighting. But it was. Once. Now - the remnants of former luxury: only rings remained from the curtains, no lighting, sunbeds, and the gazebo itself - tired of time.
Other vacationers, non-Royal, can also relax in these pavilions, but for a fee. Something around 40 bucks. Expensive, not worth it, believe me. I don’t know how it is for anyone - but I personally would be uncomfortable (as a regular Monte Carlo vacationer): here - you can, there - you can’t, for a fee. Here you come to relax, and you - but here for no reason... but there - you can... but it’s better here, I want to come here - well then you can, but for the money....: ) In short, for myself, I concluded: more according to the improved concept in hotels ( and to hotels where there are such concepts) - I will not go.
Royal Lounge. Beautiful, tasty, superficially rich, but there is also a nuance. Yes, about the same comfort. Have you ever tried sitting in a soft, deep, comfortable chair, almost drowning in it - to have lunch... so that the first, second - third - fruits..... - and all this at a coffee table? Let it be beautiful? If you still don’t understand, try it somehow : ) Have fun, rate it : ) Knees on your ears, posture - folded into three deaths, also try to chew : )). But we went there because there were practically no people. We were more satisfied with that than in La Carte.
By the way from pluses here. The cook works in the Lounge, I didn’t ask him his name, but he is also the chef in the fish restaurant. So, for a tip - he will arrange an unforgettable show for you!!! ! I recommend!! ! Besides, it's delicious.
The only plus of the proposed Royal concept is the reaction of the staff to the bracelet: “oh…. Royal?!... ” and a look - almost with reverence : )) It's nice, but not for long - for a couple of seconds : ) Although someone like it... ; ) And another plus - included dinners in all restaurants. That's all... For myself, I did not find more pluses. But is it worth it to overpay money only for this - decide for yourself. In my opinion, it's cheaper if you really want to go to Monte Carlo - to go here without the Royal, and just pay in restaurants for dinner.
In summary, I do not recommend this hotel. 4 * put - only for the excellent staff!
