Comments from Geneviève Bonin on Fun Royale :

Positive :

The weather was beautiful! The pools were nice but only two of four open but it's understandable why, in the summer.

Negative :

The rooms feel damp. Staff not very welcoming to me. The representative of Caribe ground not very nice. tour provided 2 times. The buffet not much variety. I do not recommend this hotel, there are lagoons on the site and it smells. Furthermore, this water flows into the sea and there are jellyfish! Several people are burning. The nightclub is open plan so if you have a room close, good luck to sleep. Lot of noise.

Comments from fleursoleil63 on Fun Royale :

Positive :

Quiet place for those who want to rest because the animation is almost nonexistent. Clean room (3rd floor emperador section) who does not feel the humidity as in some other resort in Cuba. Lunch buffet very good, pancakes, omelets, French toast and waffles made to you. Buffet dinner and supper repetitive. Spanish coffee in the lobby absolutely delicious.

Negative :

Lagoon that must be crossed to get to the beach really disgusting. Scent "swomp", and jellyfish that live there. Also this lagoon empties directly into the sea on the east side of the beach. Throughout the day the water turned green more, ending a frankly dubious color (yellow-green) and a disgusting smell. One must then swim to the west of the beach where the water color is normal (turquoise). It's like a septic tank will be emptied. Side facilities, renovations could be good entreprisent. The outdoor showers are broken, some parts of the sites are completely depleted when we could put more chairs as the pool and beach, because there lack terribly. A one of a la carte restaurant, my husband found a nice living fly rolled in his piece of chicken and ham. We went out immediately without finishing our meal and were at the buffet. He noticed the flies flying around plates waiting on the counter. This is my 5th trips and I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

Comments from Diane Courtois on Fun Royale :

Positive :

Beautiful sea, although at high tide there is almost no beach. The food was varied and good versus Cuba and low season. The a la carte restaurants, good, but in four different a la carte restaurants, we had the same dessert, fortunately it was good. Staff very nice and accommodating. Despite some small minor irritants, we really enjoyed our week. Moreover, compared to the amount disbursed for this trip, it was an excellent choice. It seems they are currently doing work to improve the Site.

Negative :

No umbrellas around the pool, so very few places in the shade. rooms have frankly need of refreshment. Dryer was not working and the maid told me that it was well in almost every room! we had to replace what was never done. Door double closet does not slid, it should fix it, has never been done. The water is always HOT WARM, not related to the peak hour of showers late after-noon. Following emperador, impossible to have fruit juice, not included. With a baby in the room, no extra towel. Lack of palappas on the beach, but it at high tide is so close, I really do not see or they could put them. The worst was that fumigation was the night to hunt mosquitoes, phew! in the lobby so we do not see there was smoke, so for a good cause, but what effect it has on it-yourself man, it smelled like kerosene. Grilled, over the week progressed there was less of things on the menu and finally they removed the menu. For some servers, the smile comes with pesos.

Comments from smorissette37 on Fun Royale :

Positive :

Conditioned quiet area. Friendly staff. Service kids club very well. La carte restaurant very good. The bread is delicious in general. Beyond the lagoon, the terrain is beautiful, well landscaped.

Negative :

The lagoon on which the hotel is built is completely unsafe: It smells bad, the water is disgusting, it's a nest of mosquitoes and the more brown water flows into the sea on the beach, so you can bathe in! Find the error? The water is assumed to be crystalline in Cuba, please consider going to build this place, I wonder. This is the worst place in Cuba next Wed Moreover, if we do not garoche at dawn to install poue towels on chairs at 8:00 am, already, there is more room for shadow! A bit stressful for a holiday!? At the pool there is a lack of significant places in the shade and contour could be cleaned to remove the ring. He was enrolled as a result had a balcony, outside, there was none. Why not install screens so we can open the windows (It smelled damp) I think the trips are excessively overpriced. Smoke to repel mosquitoes is nauseating and I think is rather toxic: it smells like kerosene or I do not really know what and I had several asthma attacks because of it.

Comments from gengodin on Fun Royale :

Positive :

Beautiful beach. Nice hotel in general. Nice clean room. Very satisfied with my vacation because the price paid. I would not pay $ 800 or $ 1,000 to go to this hotel by cons. I liked the wine they serve (Spanish). Very hot and beautiful all week. Hotel is 15 minutes from the airport. Arrival at the airport to check-in, everything was done very quickly. Evening at the cave (disco) great!

Negative :

Buffet repetitive, same thing every day but better than the a la carte restaurants. A la carte restaurants not very good except the VIP. Animation largely closed, the few Geos do not speak to anyone, do not tell you hello and they are rarely seen smiling. Disco very quiet.

Comments from Diana Marinova on Fun Royale :

Positive :

The NH Krystal had the best beach of the island. There was hardly ever algae, there was enough room for everyone. The water was beautiful, no rocks.

Negative :

Check only the bedding: mattress covers on our two rooms had not been washed, and smelled of urine. Having left a note for the maid to change them when we come back, everything was changed.
