I normally stay at some of the bigger brand hotels on the Palm but I had a very positive experience at Royal Central Hotel. I upgraded to a palm view room with a balcony and was not disappointed, the view was great. I had a rental car and self parking was convenient. Pool bar service was good and efficient. For what you pay I would say it is great value.

Our third stay in this hotel, and again we wasn’t disappointed. If you are searching for a place, with both pool, beach access and friendly staff, to an affordable price - then this place is a good choice. We especially enjoyed the breakfast buffet, the beach area, the Hush pool bar and how welcome the staff make you feel.

Excellent service of bellboys but i feel uncomfortable with the room assignment for me coming with kid. The reception lady focused on selling me the new year dinner but put no attention on guest service. The room hardware and so called balcony “facing car park entrance” is not matching with 5 stars hotel.
