We have just returned from an amazing 10 night stay at the royal wings hotel. The hotel is fabulous, very clean and well looked after. The staff are amazing and work really hard. The entertainment team every single one of them went out of their way to make us feel welcome and included our kids absolutely loved them especially ibo and Hercules the darts game were the highlight of our days. My son took part in the water polo games everyday and enjoyed them. They never once said they were bored like they have in other hotels in the past. The food is good, breakfast can get repetitive unless you like eggs. Dinner was ok if you’re not fussy, if you are fussy like 2 family members of mine you’ll likely spend your trip eating pasta, pizza or chips. The snack bars are fab, the kebabs, sandwiches and pizza are lovely and also the restaurant down towards the beach was a nice touch where you can order fresh from the menu included in the AI. I am not a big drinker but the drinks and cocktails were ok, depending on where and who made them. The foam party and the garden white party were the highlights for me we had a brilliant time along with the bingo night. Our room was out of this world on the 10th floor with 2 rooms the views were spectacular. I have no complaints whatsoever. Mini fridges topped up daily and fresh bedding and towels also. I have seen other reviews saying belongings went missing but we regularly left iPads, money, EarPods etc around and had no issues. The one downside for me was how slippery it was around the watermark, we witnessed loads of children and adults slip and fall where there wasn’t rubber mats. This is my only worry. We will definitely return to this hotel again and we were sad to leave. Thank you for all the memories me and my family can keep forever 😊

Honest review and one I wish I would have seen before arriving as my expectations was set high due to the hotel being highly recommended by family. Pros - the hotel is perfect for kids, there is so much for kids to be kept entertained with the waterpark and rides. Kids won't be disappointed with what is on offer for them, including ice cream and lolly ices. Cons - the hotel is made for kids rather than adults, the food is very repetitive in the night so you do get sick of eating the same thing. I would say it is average at best, the only good thing about the food was the kebabs and pizza's in the day. The pizza is amazing and was the only good tasting thing whilst there. The beds are not comfortable at all, waking up each day with a sore back from the very hard beds. Not much health and safety on one of the rides, I was not strapped in and luckily it was myself not a child who wasn't strapped in as the ride itself was a fast ride and went up in the air. Money and personal items was taken from the room, not much but still for things to be stolen out of your room just changes your experience. A small amount of money was taken out of a bag that was left out the next day, all other money was left in the safe but this had been left in a bag from the night before and forgetting to take out. Again, it wasn't a massive amount but still £40 was taken and also my daughters headphones was stolen. We had came with a large group and one of the other parties who's room was next to ours, had a bracelet taken. The bracelet was not expensive but could have been a sentimental item, the thought of someone going through your belongings is not what you want for a holiday. There was many times I had zipped my bags up and coming back to the rooms they had been unzipped so it was obvious someone had been going through our things. If you like a nice cocktail on holiday, don't expect to get one here or much service at all. You have to get a drink yourself as there isn't many people coming round waiting on you which is something you would expect at a 5 star hotel. As I have said the only good thing about the hotel is what is on offer for kids but would expect adults to be taking into consideration for their experience too as it should be a holiday for the whole family to enjoy. I wouldn't say this is a 5 start hotel so depending on how much you pay hotel would determine whether or not it is worth staying in.

“Overall still good, but standards have dropped a bit over the last few years.”

We've been to this hotel twice before - I feel as though the standards have slipped a bit in the last few years. The entertainment / animation team were great. In particular, Karim, Artista, and Ibo who have been there a few years are great. The daytime activities (darts, water polo, archery et... more

We've been to this hotel twice before - I feel as though the standards have slipped a bit in the last few years. The entertainment / animation team were great. In particular, Karim, Artista, and Ibo who have been there a few years are great. The daytime activities (darts, water polo, archery etc) were good and the crew really do make an effort to speak to everyone around the pool. My critisicm of the entertainment is only that there could be a little more in terms of options in the evening. Our kids don't do the mini disco, and if you don't want to watch the show in the amphitheatre, then there is nowhere else to go - the pool bar entertainment doesn't start until 10.30pm and the Piano bar never ever has any music in it. (Piano bar in name only!!) It would make a world of difference to this hotel if there was some live music in the lobby bar (7-10 pm) to give you somewhere to go before the pool bar livens up. (Hassan, if you are reading this), please please consider adding nightly music in the lobby going forwards. The pool is the real star of the show here - you can almost always find a bed somewhere round the hotel which is a real bonus. (although we did have a favourite spot). And the pool was nice and warm at this time of year (End of May). The only downside is that the floor can get a little slippy in places so take care. In my opinion, the drinks have got worse over the last 3 years and it is very much pot luck depending on who makes the cocktails as to whether they are nice or not. The lobby bar is the best, the snack bar ok, and the pool bar / beach bar the worst. Similar story with the food. While some of it is pretty good (and the puddings, the ice cream choice, and the crisps at the bar have got better since last year), the overall food experience has declined. The food options are more limited than they used to be with almost identical offerings each night. We couldn't tell the difference between several of the themed nights as the specials were basically the same in all cases. There were no longer any big prawns on fish night for example. We didn't bother with the a la cartes this year as the price has gone up and having done them all before, I don't think it is worth the additional price as they are OK, but nothing special The main buffet is v busy and there are not enough staff to get drinks and clear tables. This is sad, as a few years' ago it felt like there were many more staff here - because of this, the main restaraunt felt much more 3 star than 5 star with plates piling up on your table and no chance of getting a second drink. We had to hunt to find a waiter to get a refill every night of the week! Snack bar options remain great, and the turkish tent is the star here - the turkish pizza man has been on site for 23 years apparently! The parties (foam and friday night were good). But if you are going to take little ones to the friday night party, be aware that the music volume was DANGEROUSLY loud - I couldn't believe that families were letting their kids go near the front by the big speakers, it was painful. Luckily I had some ear defenders with me for my daughter, as otherwise, it would not really be safe to go near the front due to the volume level. (Again, Hassan, invest in a decibel meter and make sure this is at a safe level please) Overall, this hotel is pretty good - it is no longer the best in the area though, and needs to be at the right price point for it to be the right choice. In this case, we felt like we did just get this, but if it was £500 more, I probably would have said not)
