We were lucky to stay in the Royal Village, and. Beach is small and I would be disappointed if I loved to walk on the beach for miles, but my boyfriend was delighted to see a school of fish around us on our last day. Pools were cold only if you'd been baking in the sun for the past hour, felt warm after being in the ocean. Grounds were maintained perfectly, pools very clean. Lush lawns and flowers were a delight to all senses. People (me included) forget that the Bahamas is still very much a third world country where rich foreigners come to vacation. I've been to Hawaii and I guess I was expecting lush green landscaping and tons of flowers, it was nowhere to be seen until we actually got onto the resort property. Disappointed with what the Bahamas was in general.

We were surprised at how much we liked it.Ĭheck in was a breeze, took a passenger van to the resort. We were looking for a relaxing beach vacation that didn't require a lot of thought and had a ton of water sports since he is a big scuba diver. About us: I am a surgery resident with not much time or money and my boyfriend is a chemistry lab manager. I was nervous going to Sandals Royal Bahamian after the negative reviews so I thought I'd put in my two cents.

We did our homework on the bus
