Hotel Royalty

Hotel Royalty keeps things simple: an indoor pool rather than an outdoor showpiece, a relaxed restaurant rather than a fine-dining draw, and rooms described plainly as simple in the property's own listing. It sits seven minutes by taxi from Playa Villa Del Mar with a genuine beach-access tag, and Madeleine, a nearby restaurant, is two minutes' walk for an evening away from the hotel's own dining room. Breakfast, Wi-Fi and parking are all included free, a straightforward package without the spa or gym tier of the five-star properties on this page. At 5,518 reviews averaging 8.0, it has a large, well-established guest base for a three-star property.
