2nd Trip to Iberostar Rose Hall Beach
This is our 2nd time at this resort and we will return for a 3rd trip. We had no complaints from 2018, but they have outdone themselves during our 2020 trip. Food was even better this time. Absolutely loved all the jerk options. Had lunch everyday at the beach buffet and it was always delicious. Love all their fish options. Ate at the steakhouse 2 different nights and steaks were perfectly cooked. Delicious. Anyone should be able to find something delicious to eat here because they cook dishes from just about every culture and are delicious. The perfect opportunity to try foods from other cultures. Room was always well maintained. Check-in staff were courteous and check-in went smoothly and Tash, our concierge was so welcoming and helpful throughout our week. Nice to see one of our favorite lobby bartenders, Patrice was still here and absolutely delightful to interact with. Our favorite beach waitress, Monique was here again this year and she did not disappoint. All the bartenders and waitresses were so friendly and you could always hear some of the waitresses singing while they worked. The entertainment staff at this resort are phenomenal and even can get the quiet and shy folks participating, which they did with my quiet hubby. These are committed and hard working people and deserve the utmost respect for the wages they make. Tipping is our number 1 priority when we vacation at these resorts and although I have witnessed many who do not, they are still treated well and with respect by the staff. We actually visited the resort next door as an option to upgrade but prefer Rose Hall Beach. Actually saw and chatted with folks from the 2 adjoining resorts and they preferred this one for various reasons. Can't say I blame them. Can't wait to return next year.

Resort Accomodation
We had a lovely view at this resort, but really that was about it. The rooms were dated with very old furniture. There was no food available during day time hours except during breakfast and lunch which were specific hours. The only place to eat was the buffet which was crowded and not very good, to say the least. They advertise no booking necessary for supper, but unless you want to eat in the buffet once again, you will wait at least two hours for a table at any of the other restaurants , which some would be closed certain night. The food was ok, but nothing over the top. The Zen restaurant was at least hot. Service was beyond bad. There was really no room service. We ordered room service for supper one evening (6pm) and we got it at 11:30pm. When the food arrived the waiter was accompanied by a patron at the resort (young teenager). I felt very uncomfortable and unsafe at this time. When it was brought to the concierge attention, his response was “ I don't know what we are going to with those young waiters” in response to the safety concerns I expressed. Unless you were paying extra for the Diamond service ( which we tried to do ,but they could not accommodate us) service is nonexistent. Considering the price I would have thought that this resort would have been a lot better. They are closing part of the resort in May/23 for renovations. But ironically they are renovating the newer area of the resort. I don't normally write reviews, but I did feel that people should know.

Not a luxury resort
I was quite disappointed that this hotel is advertised as a five star luxury hotel. It is not. It is old and dated and very badly in need of remodelling which I found out is being done in may. Had I known that in advance I would not have booked here. I wanted a luxury experience and this is not what I got. The room was old and musty smelling. The furniture scratched and damaged. Patches on the walls and ceilings. Mildew/mould on the sinks (at the caulking). Patio door would not lock properly. Door on the wood furniture to the hidden fridge falling off the hinges. The shower had no place to put soap or shampoo. It was missing lamps and wall art. Just left patches and holes. The only positive thing I can say about the room was the bed was comfortable and the shower head worked well. The grounds were well maintained in terms of cleanliness and nice gardens. There was lots of signs of needed repairs throughout with broken tiles, lights that did not work etc. The beach and the pool were great. The only complaint I have is that the adult pool (being the infinity pool) was the most beautiful but closed off to kids. It is also where all the entertainment took place. I didn't buy into an adult only resort and we did travel with our 9 year old son. We had to choose to either participate in the activities (although they were lacking) or give up the view of the beach or swim in another pool. The activities were strongly lacking as well. Not very well organized. Kind of boring for the most part. Again not what would be expected for a five star hotel. The pool furniture as well was mis matched, broken and often not enough to go around. The pool towels were horrible. Old. Stained and generally not enough. At 830 in the am often towels were nowhere to be found. This includes nightly entertainment. It was severely lacking. I did not find that the animation team engaged much with guests. Nor was the caliber of the shoes very good. Food at the buffet was good although there could have been a few more people working the busy stations ie the omelette station in the am and the pasta station in the pm. There were very long waits. The seating arrangements as well was a bit disorganized. Not sure why our room number was needed every time we visited. The tables were often not ready and missing things ie utensils or cups. It took long periods of time to get water and coffee/drinks. Often meals would be eaten or half eaten and still we would be waiting. Never were there spoons places at the table and long waits to get one. The people/service overall was good. Staff were pleasant and polite just not enough of them. Overall I would rate this hotel a 3.5 star stay. I was very disappointed especially given that this was a first time stay with Royalton (whom I was led to believe only had stellar hotels). This hotel was not at all what we expected. Not at all what we paid for and we were left very disappointed. Not sure I would book a ROYALTON HOTEL again.
