The over-riding feeling of all the accommodation is spacious and light. The rooms are all comfortable and homey without being spankingly up to date and modernised. Bathrooms are suitably spacious but again not necessarily as modern as you may hope - but I thought they were more than fine.

Royal’s range of restaurants and bars include Chic!, a French-inspired fine dining room, and the brasserie-style L’Epicure with its menu of creole specialities and global classics. After dinner, a carefully selected programme of evening performance creates the perfect ambience for your stay. Next door, owned by the same hotel group, The Orient offers delicious asian cuisine. We tried all of it and enjoyed it all especially The Orient. The Royal will allow you to eat at the restaurants as part of your "meal plan" which works out very reasonable. My only thought - beware the prices of wine...On an island which imports all its delicious wines, the prices are shockingly steep to a Brit.

I know this will sound very dull given that you are on holiday in the West Indies but the pizza here is very good indeed. There....my secret is out!

Expect to pay around £10-£15 per main course at surrounding restaurants. It makes the meal plans amazingly good value when you add this up.

Sports enthusiasts will enjoy the wide variety of activities including windsurfing, water skiing, sunfish sailing, tennis, scuba diving, parasailing, golf and riding. Royal also has an impressive fitness facility. Remember that the only thing included is the Gym - you pay extra on the beach for the others and they are pretty standard rates. I'd just like to add since our children get intimidated by hawkers that there just wasn't that sort of feeling here. Of course, islanders have jet ski's and boat trips they want you to go on and they want you to go with them but they are not aggressive or unable to accept "no thanks". They geniunely seem to want to give you a good impression of St Lucia.
