TRAVELLER's NOTES* Food was amazing, I have never eaten so much Lobster in my life. There is everything for any type of eater. No one can starve. You can be as adventurous as you want or enjoy a pizza at the pool bar or grilled hamburgers at the beach bar. Don't forget the famous cappucinos that everyone is raving about at the hotel and only crave for it when they return home. Full lenght pants are required for men at all restaurants at supper time. At breakfast and lunch shorts are allowed.  


There are six a la Carte restaurants and at least four visits to a la Carte’s is included if you are staying at Royal Hideaway and Royal Spa Sections. The Royal Club Gourmet restaurant is for Royal Suites Villa guests only, but you can eat there for $35/pp. We enjoyed all the restaurants, especially the Italian and the Royal Club, and our Concierge was able to get us back into my favorite one our last night, Cuban Creole where we had again, Creole Lobster, delicious with garlic butter. Don’t forget the delicious Coconut ice cream. Remember you are in Cuba and can't compare fine dining to Canada, but everything we ate was delicious as there is a lot to choose from European to Cuban to North American types basically International Cuisine. So enjoy and if you don't like something don't be afraid to ask for something else or simply go to buffett.

The resort has many places for you to eat all day and if you get the munchies in the middle of the night there is all inclusive 24 hr. room service and they will even bring you your Pina Colada, wine, champagne or your breakfast if it was a rough night.

Breakfast is at the main Buffet and extensive. Try the Spinach Croquettes, I got everyone I talked to hooked on them, which was a bad idea because eventually they will become scarce. After that there are many places to eat all day long. The Chicken sandwich at the beach was one of our favorites, so were burgers. On special days they roast pigs on the beach. At Christmas/New Year’s Eve they have evening galas and fireworks party outside.

ENTERTAINMENT - In the evening after dinner everyone goes to the Lobby where there is either entertainment in the Main Lobby or in the Auditorium. The Host of the evening show my husband swears looks like a young Michael Buffer and he tried unsuccessfully to get him to say ... “Are you ready to rumble”.

The Lobby Bar is the happening place and if you want to continue to party there is a Disco which was lots of fun. The Cigar bar serves 14 to 20 year old rums at night but don’t ask her to add Coke, she won’t do it and is insulted. I swear I was not the one that asked. Their international alcohol selection is extensive.
