I think the property was great with good services and attentive workers. However , i feel it was bit overpriced not just for the room also for any extra services we were considering. As result we ended up doing lots of dining outside of the pavillio. And to our surprise we noticed other doing the same. Lol. Amazing 👏

Fairmont Royal Pavilion has great potential with its beautiful setting, but the service fell short of our expectations as this is a high end hotel with a price tag to match. The Fairmont Pavilion has truly stunning views and is a picture perfect setting. However, the overall experience was let down by the level of service, which lacked the warmth and attentiveness Compared to other, even lower-rated hotels we’ve stayed at on the island, where staff consistently went above and beyond to ensure a comfortable and memorable stay, the Fairmont felt impersonal. The service lacked that special touch that makes guests feel truly welcome and cared for. While the setting is undeniably beautiful, the experience didn’t quite meet our expectations, especially given the Fairmont’s reputation.
