로열 웨스트 인디스 리조트(Royal West Indies)

Always a wonderful hide-a-way from the usual throngs of touri in TCI. Excellent beach, restaurant and bar. The only limitation was that the cable TV did not work properly. Back next year!

The resort was nice and not crowded but our “ocean view” room was as far in the back of the property without being in the parking lot and no view of the ocean at all. At best we could see the pool and lots of palm trees. We brought this up immediately upon checking in but the rude front desk worker named DeAdre smirked at our pointing out that no one in building 8 could see the ocean. No discount or offer of another beach view room was made. We will not be coming back.

Dining staff was very friendly. Room was advertised as “Ocean Biew” which was a big stretch. Desk staff was not helpful or friendly. Guests were locked out of their room early (overheard).

Great beach. Friendly staff. Nice grounds. The bicycles were old, in poor repair, and dangerous to ride.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay at the Royal West Indies, but I feel that it's difficult to call it a resort. If you're looking for something basic, this may be a good fit, but if you want to be "wowed" by amenities and service, this is not for you. Pros: Friendly staff who were helpful in obtaining taxis, etc. Well-maintained grounds. Walking distance to many shops and restaurants, although far for some who may not like to walk or have difficulty walking long distances. Large rooms with a full-size fridge, closet, etc. Cons: As mentioned, this didn't feel like a resort. It felt like a hotel with a restaurant and pool. Other amenities were lacking. Non-motorized sporting equipment consisted of a few kayaks and bikes that were almost always in use. What else makes this a resort? I am not sure. I can't speak to the quality of the (one) restaurant. We saw a cockroach scurry across the bar on the first day and never actually ate there.

Fab location with great amenities. Service can sometimes be a little slow at the bar but it does get busy. Would definitely book again. Beach is literally a min walk away and plenty of restaurants and souvenir shops within a 20 min walk, hotel offers bikes free of charge if you want to explore further.

The gardens are beautiful. The beach is beautiful. Staff is friendly. Botanical room was nice but some what dated - could use a refresh with paint, tile and bathroom & kitchen fixtures. Bed was very comfortable. Restaurant had good food. Happy hour drinks were great! We enjoyed walking on the beach, snorkeling around the mangroves and eating great food at the local fish fry!

Like: Beach, location. The Studio was also good. The Pools. Didn' like : The Restaurant

Well kept grounds, nicely manicured landscape and architecture. The one bedroom room was clean, came with washer/dryer, full kitchen and very comfortable bed. Overall great value for the stay here. 2 pools and a jacuzzi well maintained. Very accommodating staff, saw someone everyday managing outside and the beach area. Food at Pelican Bay was always fresh, reliable and delicious!
