“Great experience”
Everyone was extremely friendly and made our stay very enjoyable. They made us feel very welcome
“Will definitely stay there again.”
Location Amazing. Room Luxurious. Service Extremely friendly. Food remarkable. In our words Perfect.
“The Royal @ Rex Resorts needs an upgrade”
This is one of the oldest Resorts in the Rodney Bay area of St. Lucia. The lease on the property is coming to an end, so the owners are not investing into the property. The Hotel itself is in a great location for dining and shopping pleasure. The exterior was nice, but needed some upgrades. The rooms were nice but aged and there were only 7 channels available on a 42 inch LCD television that they had to replace with a 19 inch projection because it didn't work. The US 110v outlets kept tripping so I made many calls to maintenance to reset. There were no 110v outlets in the bathroom, so an electric shaver was out of the question. I had to remind the maid service 4 out of 8 days to leave wash cloths. The fitness center, well lets just say they may as well not advertise it. Pool was very nice and food at the hotel was just okay, but surrounding restaurants were good. Both ice machines on my side of the hotel were out of order.
“Fanciest Hotel in Rodney Bay”
In general this hotel was great, yet, I recommend you go for rex not royal if you'd like to save some money. All in all, stay at Rodney bay.
“Will Not Return”
St Lucia was expereincing a drought and water was rationed. However, right outside our door they pumped water from 7- midnight and boy was that noisy. On day 4 they moved us. The rooms need major updating and Americans will be troubled by the 1970s outdated bathroom and decor. Service was poor with attitude problems. We expected to have soap, shampoo and lotion replaced when the containers are empty, but did not. We asked for replacements on day 3, but had to hunt down the cleaning staff and they were unfriendly about it. The bartendar was great! But the female waitstaff were sourly and food took 40 minutes to deliver at lunch. The place was deserted (we were the only ones there) so I could not understand why. The location was great!!! But I will not return, nor recommend. There are much better properties in Rodney Bay area. The value is just not there at this resort.
“Great Location”
The hotel was in a great location. Within walking distance to many diverse restaurants. The staff was very helpful, and courteous. Room was cleaned everyday and beds turned down every evening. The beach was FANTASTIC! Wonderful swimming, clean, and great for taking walks.
“Wonderful beach and dining location.”
While we found the hotel rooms to be a little outdated, the cleanliness, location and staff friendliness outweighed everything else. The bed was very comfortable. I think this was the best beach on the island and many delicious restaurants/night life within walking distance, no taxi's required. Has a wonderful outdoor pool. We would recommend this hotel and go back in the future.
“Not impressed”
Rooms are very old fashioned - a refurbishment / update is long overdue. General service in the hotel was TERRIBLE. Quality of food at hotel restaurant was poor. Overall, overpriced for what it was. We loved St Lucia and will go back but not to this hotel.
“great pool and beach...”
if you are loking for a fantastic pool, a great beach and you dont care much about the accomodation that you stay in, then this is your place. we spent a lovely week on the beach where there is plenty of security to watch your belongings etc, the only downfall was that the room was very dated and could do with a revamp to bring it into 2009. there was however plenty of space in the room and it was cleaned on a daily basis. all-in-all, great value for the money.
“Great Hotel”
Had a fantastic stay...great location, next to fab beach, loads of restaurants, and convienance stores. Room was great, huge extremely comfortable bed. Definately recommend!
