What guests loved the most

“After reading many other reviews, I had very low expectations on arrival. What a wonderful surprise. I absolutely loved the friendliness of the people, the lovely ambience of the downstairs coffee shop, elegant dining room and lounge with pianist. The view from the room towards the yacht club and bay was spectacular. The breakfast was absolutely fine and I altogether have no complaints. I made use of the Spa - had a wonderful massage! The Royal Hotel is on the up! :)”
