10/10 Excellent
"I was very pleased with this resort. My favorite part was the private lagoon area. I had a partial ocean view room that was lovely. Listening to the ocean waves as I fell asleep was memorable. My only peeve was: I walked to town specifically to grab a coffee then enjoy breakfast at the resort. The waitress told me I could not have an outside drink. She was quite rude. I ended up having breakfast elsewhere. Not a big deal but I think that was a bit excessive. Other than one rude staff member all the others were so kind and helpful. Danny (one of the pool attendant) was great. And recommended water shoes to avoid foot injuries in the lagoon. He was right!! (Thank you Danny) I would definitely stay here again!"

"This property was wonderful! Clean and best of both worlds- a hotel that had everything we needed (all we had to do was ask if we needed fresh towels or coffee, etc.) but set up like a little condo with living room, lanai, kitchen, and two bedrooms. It even had a laundry machine that was very convenient. Would gladly stay again!"

"Our room was lovely, very spacious for a 1 bedroom apartment. The grounds were lovely and well maintained. All the staff were very friendly and accommodating. We didn’t have a car, so we had to catch the local bus to the nearest shops. The bus was free which was an extra bonus. The Royal Sea Cliff is a nice resort."
