Nice Size Hotel but lacking Quality
Upgraded to Diamond Club. Not convinced it was worth the money except for the ability to book restaurants through the Butler was easy. Easy to get around the grounds. Special Diamond areas were not policed and frequently used by non diamond guests taking up spots. Typical fight for chairs everywhere. Towels left on chairs early each day without guests coming back for hours to use. Get up early! Representatives were attentive and helpful in time. Our first room was in need of repair, closet door off track and broken, sink tap loose and wobbly. Moved to new room next day. Entertainment was directed to young crowd mostly. Lots of thumping electro beat music. Food was very bland... good selections at Buffet but 4 restaurants were not to the quality you would expect. Service could also be slow with long waits between starters and mains. Every menu had extra priced items to order and extra priced wine lists, very pricey! Private booking restaurant was very pricey and empty most nights. Sports bar was also empty most times and offered a disco starting at 11 PM. No real benefits of being Diamond Club guests other than ease of reservation booking through Butler. Regular guests had to book through an app that we understand had problems. Whole resort is paved in stone tiles that become dangerously slippery when wet. Private cabana's were pricey and not very private. Regular guests can swim right up. Spa was nice and massages were good and priced reasonably on the special offer days! Hydrotherapy pools were also nice. The dry sauna in mens room the wooden floor planks were loose and needed repair. Exercise Room was well equipped and rarely used. Distilled Water for CPAP machines is very expensive. Use bottled water.

Critical Review
Sheila M wrote a review Today St. Catharines, Canada1 contribution A critical review This was our 2nd stay at this resort; we went with our whole family in January of 2025 as well. Each visit my husband and I have taken Diamond Club and our children, their spouses and grandchildren were NOT diamond club. We took diamond club so that we could book dinners each night at 6pm as all of our grandchildren are under 2 and they go to bed at 7pm. We like a served sit down dinner together and that is our primary reason for going to an all inclusive with nice restaurants. This vist in March of 2026 check in was VERY SLOW for diamond club. We did not get our room till 5pm and we arrived around 1:30 pm. We also ended up walking to the diamond club lounge with our luggage as the shuttle was so slow. The toilet was broken in our diamond club room and fell forward when you sat on it. The shower heads were mostly blocked and went every which way when you turned them on. The hand held shower heads would not stay up when you pushed it up the bar it was on. Previously in Jan of 2025 we had used the Royalton APP to book our dinners 3 days in advance for 6pm but this time we had to use the butler to do that and he was ONLY able to confirm at 5:15 pm where we were going that night and this time we were only 4 adults and One 1 year old —last time we were 8 adults and three one year olds and we were able to book 3 nights in advance. Also our Butler “jesus” kept booking us for 7 pm and we repeatedly told him that we needed 6pm as the baby had to go to bed by 7pm. One night he booked 8 people and 2 infants—NO IDEA how we multiplied that quickly. We did breakfast at the main spot and they wouldn't let us sit outside until 7 am and then the next morning they said 7:20am. Just nice to sit outside as we have had a LOT of snowy weather this year. The Lazy River is fantastic and one of the primary reasons we returned; it is shaded and also very private as it is surrounded by trees. Last year the resort had floats you could use; double and singles. This year the resort had none and we were not expecting that so didn't bring our own. People gave us some as they were going home. The Gym needs some upgrading. IT IS KEPT TOO HOT>. they need to turn the airconditioning down a couple of degrees and get some fans in there. Also the treadmills and ellipticals don't have fans on them—need upgrading. If you go upstairs in the gym to do your workout the Hotel Wifi doesn't work upstairs. Downstairs they only have 2-5lbs, 2-10lbs and 2-15lbs. dumbbells. They need more and some 12lbs and 17 1lbs would be great. The gym is extremely busy in the morning. 12 noon seemed to be a good time to go so you could get a treadmill and some dumbbells. But TOO HOT in the Gym! They have music everynight in the main rotunda. At 8pm there is a kids show. 9pm there is the main show. I think it would be nice if they had a separate adult area with a piano bar and someone playing the piano so we didn't have to watch the kids show —watching one more “chicken dance” is Too much! The coffee shop is FANTASTIC; great coffee and ice cream and snacks. We enjoyed all of the restaurants. Our favourites were the Rio, and the Hunter. The Teppenakki show is well done. We didn't do the à la carte Japenese this time because it is very loud when they do the Teppanakki show and we didn't want to do it to the baby twice. Bring towel BANDS to keep your chair —we wanted the shade spots with the baby. We are going to try the Royalton Negril next time —hope the restaurant bookings IMPROVE there!

All inclusive resort experience with 4 yo
While the resort grounds, beach access, pools, and bar service were satisfactory, the guestroom condition was outdated and poorly maintained, falling well below expectations for a premium 5-star, family-friendly resort. The combination of unresolved room maintenance issues and concerns around food quality, sanitation, and hygiene significantly detracted from our stay, making the experience stressful and disappointing, particularly while traveling with a 4-year-old child. Key issues experienced during our stay: 1. Non-functional air conditioning made our stay horrible, especially with 29 - 31 degrees C at night. The prolonged heat and sweating caused significant discomfort, especially for our 4-year-old child. 2. Faulty toilet: The toilet produced a constant water-dripping noise throughout the night, further disrupting sleep, particularly problematic given the lack of air conditioning. 3. Unclean in-room jacuzzi and dirty washroom upon arrival 4. Unsanitary coffee machine: The in-room coffee machine was dirty and showed signs of rust, raising concerns about cleanliness, hygiene, and room readiness. 5. The buffet offered a wide variety of dishes, but cross-contamination is a significant concern. There weren't enough serving spoons and spatulas, leading to customers reusing the same utensils for multiple dishes. Additionally, the dishes were not properly labeled. The live grill, which is used as an omelette station in the morning and a meat station for lunch and dinner, was dirty and had grease buildup. 6. The kids' club is a joke. The caregivers are teenagers who can't communicate in English; instead, they keep yelling at the kids in Spanish. When I went to drop my child off, I hesitated after seeing the poor condition of the place and the kids there. I noticed a couple of kids crying, but the caregivers didn't bother to check on them. Some of the earlier reviews on Google and TripAdvisor mention that the kids' club is a breeding ground for hand, foot, and mouth disease and other contagious infections due to sanitation issues.
