"We enjoyed our stay. The beach is amazing and the resort is a 3 star as described. It had everything we needed for a great stay. Staff were pleasant and helpful. Food was decent. Price was very fair for our trip. We felt safe, no issues. We will probably stay at Jolly Beach Resort again."

"Unfortunately overall we were unimpressed by our stay. While the beach and pool areas are lovely, and the staff were pleasant, the rooms are in major need of refurbishment and there are various issues with noise, somewhat because the walls and doors are thin and allow every sound to get through - near a busy street, dogs barking, tree frogs, doors slamming. The AC units and bathroom fans are also very loud and in need of an upgrade and showers need replacing. Bedding also an issue - a flimsy sheet and no proper duvet - and the curtains were short and thin allowing all of the light in. We were only there one night and so it wasn’t practical to request a move, but given both of our rooms had these same issues, I’m not sure it would have helped. We were also disappointed by the price of the food, especially at breakfast where you are not able to order à la carte and the only option is paying 38USD for all you can eat. We tried to order just one piece of toast with coffee and weren’t allowed. "

"Good"

"The Royalton CHIC is a stunning resort, however there is room for improvement. The check in and check out staff were abrupt and not at all what would be expected of a Front of Service. I felt rushed at check in and 3 inexperienced young ladies were all speaking at once. No real happy friendly hello. On check out staff member was abrupt and again not what would be expected of a 5 star hotel. The unsung heroes were the cleaners, maintenance staff and gardeners. They kept the Resort immaculate. Superb choice of Restaurants but Elements buffet, apart from breakfast choice was poor, so make sure you reserve at Hunters, Olympus, Vespa, Haven. There needs to be more sun Parasols. Enough beds but not enough shade."

"The staff and services were wonderful. We had such an awesome time there. The place was beautiful and views were stunning. We have heard that people come back time and time again. I traveled with 6 other friends and we all said we will come back. I can’t wait!"

"Great beach, delicious food"

"Pros: - We loved the pool and the beach - Some of the cooks were very nice - The food was great - Room cleaning every day - The place was overall clean - The band on the last night was amazing Cons: - The attitude from some of the staff was just terrible. The towel person and the guy in charge of excursions were very unnecessarily rude. The guy in charge of excursions started making such rude remarks just because we said we will think about it and get back to him. These 2 interactions really impacted our stay and we chose to go to another hotel for the remainder of our stay."

"Way too many kids if you're coming here childless! Was a bit surprised off holiday cycle including European outside of their holidays. And the kids ran wild in the main restaurant and pool area. We spent the 1st afternoon at pool and that was it because of how bad it was but beach was much more relaxing. Staff was mostly great but weird things happened like things not being brought after multiple requests, dishes missing large components or being completely different than the menu. Our room was fabulous. Food was fine not wow overall. Not really an LHW caliber hotel despite being a member."

"There is nothing more to want at this resort. It has everything!"
