"The Coral is tired. We had them switch our rooms initially because our balcony looked down upon what we coined the floor of despair. It seemed to be an unoccupied area that was in dire need of Cleaning. Once we switched rooms, our view was incredible. However, every night we would have to call downstairs to have assistance shutting the sliding glass door. I don’t know that the property can have a facelift at this point, perhaps it just needs to be completely rebuilt. That said we had a really relaxing and fun vacation. "

"Rooms are great staff are friendly you can’t go wrong"

"Upon arrival after 4pm our room was not ready, they switched us to a room that was the first near the elevator which was inconvenient morning/night anyone waiting for it is talking & I had to speak to adults for singing down the hallway at night. At 6am&10pm chairs were being scraped against the floor above us. The room was clean but the fire alarm facing the bed & the green light continually flashes. If you’re a light sleeper or don’t have an eye mask it is troublesome for sleep. Communication on final cost is unclear, I was told there was nothing that would be on my bill after part of the charge dropped except anything charged to my room which was only roughly $40 but was charged all resort fees ($400+), at that time even after asking the staff before hand my bill total. Staff is friendly, the beach is well kept but I’d wear shoes as there are rusted beer caps in the sand & water. It’s a beautiful view, watching the cruise ships come to port & the sunrise is amazing. WiFi horrible.All staff I communicated with were very friendly & helpful. The different options of the water park, pool, beach, or boogie boarding make for a lot of choices of what to do. It’s by the boardwalk are with souvenirs & food. Food at the resort is pricey. $5 for a water. The bakery/coffee shop has great pastries & fruit cups at reasonable prices but the store is not. Ran out of sunscreen it was $35 for a bottle. It is a beautiful island with great people I unfortunately won’t choose here if I return."

"My husband and I first stayed at the Royal for our honeymoon in 2021 (a year after our wedding due to COVID), and we absolutely loved our experience. We recently returned in 2026 to celebrate our 6th wedding anniversary and even brought along some family members for their first visit. Between 2021 and this most recent trip, I recommended the Royal to just about everyone I knew I truly couldn’t say enough good things about it. Unfortunately, this visit left me feeling disappointed. While I understand that prices have increased, with VAT and gratuity now added to everything, I was more than willing to pay based on the exceptional experience and hospitality we previously received. However, I did notice a significant decline in service compared to our first stay. Throughout our time there whether leaving our room, grabbing coffee, enjoying lunch by the pool or beach, or dining in the restaurants the staff did not seem as welcoming or engaged. In the past, what stood out most was how kind, soft-spoken, and genuinely warm the employees were. They made an effort to connect with guests and truly understood that we were there to relax and escape from our daily lives. This time, that feeling was largely missing. Additionally, the ongoing construction made it difficult to fully relax in our room during the day, which took away from the overall experience. The past few years have been especially challenging for my husband and me, and we were really hoping this trip would provide a much n"

"Majority of the staff were amazing… with the exception of the pool bartenders… they were just the opposite…. Not very welcoming or fun if your an older white man…. Romell the door man was great and did all he could to accommodate… The cleaning staff was exceptional… they made my bothers birthday so special with a cake, balloons and always a clean room…love the swans…."

"Property well maintained and beautiful. Easy access to downtown for shopping. Staff very helpful and attentive. Would have liked more options for dinner restaurant in house"

"The property is still very nice good value for price paid, staff friendly and inviting also helpful. It's a nice stay close enough to several main activities. Property does require some in room repairs and refinishing. But overall not bad at all. See you soon"

"Went here with a friend for a few nights. It was a perfect little getaway. The staff are all very friendly, it was clean and lovely. The food and drinks were great and there was great entertainment and activities. You can walk to a beautiful beach nearby and to Atlantis, which is free to wander around at night. We also walked to Nassau, it took about 35 minutes but was a great outing. Very safe area and just beautiful."
