I have both positive and negative things to say about the Royal Sea Aquarium. It is in a great location with many restaurants and bars within walking distance. No room has a bad view, all room categories have amazing views. The pools and lounge chairs are well maintained and relaxing to spend your day around. The beach has a great view BUT is very hard packed and lots of shells -- hard on the feet!
Every single staff member was SO friendly and helpful. The on-site restaurant food was fantastic but service could be a little slow.
We stayed in a ground floor studio and loved that its was poolside. However, the beds & pillows were SO uncomfortable -- this is the ONLY reason why we will not return. We had a TINY kitchenette area with a mini fridge that could barely hold anything. The bathroom (bathtub and toilet)was sufficient but way too small.
Overall, our only disappointment with the Royal Sea Aquarium was with the room itself. Improvements could definitely be made. Most notably, THE BEDS!!! Only reason we were ready to leave was because of the beds -- very unfortunate.
