What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Spacious and Well-Designed

I stayed in a one-bedroom suite and was pleasantly surprised by its spaciousness and modern decor. The room had a full kitchen, which was convenient for preparing meals. The view of the aquarium from my room was a good bonus, where I could watch the dolphins swim every morning. It felt like a home away from home.

Fantastic Pool Area

The pool area at the Royal Sea Aquarium Resort was amazing! There were plenty of loungers and shaded spots, making it easy to relax by the pool. I loved using the hot tub after a day of exploring. The beach was just steps away, perfect for snorkeling. Overall, it was a fantastic spot to unwind.

Great for Kids!

Traveling with my family was a breeze thanks to the kid-friendly amenities. The beach area was calm and perfect for the kids to learn snorkeling. They had a blast exploring the marine life right outside our door. I appreciated the spacious living areas, which allowed the kids to play comfortably without feeling cramped.

Convenient On-Site Breakfast

I enjoyed having breakfast included during my stay. The restaurant overlooked the water, creating a lovely atmosphere to start my day. Although the food options were a bit limited at times, the complimentary breakfast was a great way to fuel up before heading out for the day. It was good value for the quality.

Our stay at Royal Sea Aquarium Resort was overall pleasant, offering a serene atmosphere with stunning sunset views. The spacious room provided a lovely view of the nearby dolphin academy, but the amenities felt a bit lacking and outdated. The location is fantastic, close to the aquarium and Mambo Beach, but the logistics regarding transferring rooms and dining options could use improvement.
