Royalton is a beautiful property, and the staff were warm, friendly, and welcoming. Unfortunately, the Hideaway adults-only section felt like an afterthought rather than the premium experience we paid for.
Almost all the amenities were located on the main Royalton side, requiring lengthy walks. Hideaway had no dedicated buffet or proper dining area, meaning we had to share spaces with families and children. We specifically booked an adults-only resort for our honeymoon to enjoy a peaceful, romantic atmosphere, and that expectation was not met.
The restaurants served good food, but the buffet lacked variety, especially during our midweek stay. The bars were not fully stocked, but we made do.
Our room was not fully prepared upon arrival, although the initial issues were addressed promptly. However, our handheld shower broke on Wednesday night, and despite maintenance attempting repairs on Thursday, it remained broken when we checked out. This caused unnecessary discomfort and inconvenience during what should have been a relaxing honeymoon.
The Hideaway side also lacked daytime activities and nightlife, making it feel rather boring. For an adults-only resort charging premium rates, we expected much more.
Ultimately, Hideaway feels like an overpriced extension of Royalton rather than a true adults-only luxury experience. We had a wonderful honeymoon because we made the most of our time together, not because of what Royalton Hideaway offered. We will not be returning!
