Good day,
First and foremost, the Royalton Hideaway resort is a total embarrassment for anyone to visit. The all-inclusive resort, intended for adults 21 years and older, shares the same lot as the main Royalton right across the way. There were many children in all parts of the unsuitable resort, which is a clear violation of the adult all-inclusive policy. I highly recommend that the Royalton Hideaway resort in St Lucia be permanently closed! Everyone should avoid this property. It does not live up to the standards of an all-inclusive adult resort at all.
From the moment my daughter and I arrived, our annual vacation experience was highly disappointing. After a long flight, all we wanted to do was rest. We arrived at the resort around 7 pm. To our surprise, our room was dirty. There was no toilet paper, a hole in the mattress, eye lashes and hair all over the sheets and pillow cases, the room had a strong mold odor, and no washcloths. When we called to speak with someone at the front desk, there was no answer. We called multiple times.
At any resort, when a guest calls the front desk, the staff answers on the first ring. Not here! We had to leave the room and take a filthy, very shaky elevator to the ground floor, where we found a very dark walkway leading to the front desk. As we were walking, another guest commented, "well I guess they did not pay the electricity bill" in which made us feel unsafe to walk throughout the resort's main lobby area.
