Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers charming rooms with beautiful interior design and a spacious private terrace but might lack natural light. The service is exceptionally accommodating and friendly, ensuring a pleasant stay. The location is serene, away from downtown busyness, but a bit distant from the main restaurant area. The dining experience provides excellent coffee and muffins, although the selection may be limited. Facilities are well-kept and inviting.
The Villa Royale was an exceptional stay. The rooms felt more like luxury apartments, with fireplaces, spacious salons, dining tables, separate kitchens, and lovely bathrooms. The private terrace was a nice touch, perfect for enjoying the comfort of the generously sized bedroom. The food selection from breakfast to in-room snacks was delightful, and dining at the restaurant followed by a nightcap at the bar rounded out each evening perfectly.
Staying at this hotel was like stepping back in time to the I Love Lucy days with cozy bungalow-style rooms, but it also offered a vibrant mid-century decor and modern amenities. The dinner at the restaurant was delightful, and ending the night with a nightcap at the bar was the perfect way to unwind. The location was excellent, offering a peaceful residential setting with easy access to downtown, but the dining options were limited.
Staying at this hotel was like being in a luxury apartment - the rooms were amazingly comfortable and generously sized. The service was incredibly accommodating to all my needs, making me feel truly pampered. The location was quiet and peaceful, yet still convenient to access nearby attractions. Dining options were a bit lacking, but the overall experience was fantastic.
My stay at the hotel was quite enjoyable overall. The rooms were clean with a lovely fountain view, although the proximity to the main entrance and pool made it a bit noisy at times. The service was impeccable, and the location just off HWY 111 was convenient. However, the dining options were not impressive.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were small but very clean and well air-conditioned, situated conveniently by the lobby and water/towel station with easy access to foot traffic. From a lovely suite that was spacious, well-decorated, and incredibly comfy to a chic Midcentury style, this hotel has it all. The service was top-notch, very welcoming and helpful, although I wished someone had rolled my luggage cart for me. The location was just perfect, especially if you enjoy a cozy evening by the fire pit or a quick drive to bars and restaurants. The dining experience was a mix of great coffee and juice to some supermarket pastries that felt a bit lackluster. The facilities were good overall, with ample amenities to make my stay enjoyable.
