Ironshore Holidays from AU$4,606

My wife and I stayed at the Grand Lido for a week, Sept 15 - 22. We have been there over 15 times in the past. So sorry to learn of the destruction in late Oct 2025 from Hurricane Mellisa. The country and resorts are still getting back to normal. Understanding that our resort was still healing, we gave special leniency to the conditions and service. Our Butler service was excellent! Our room was clean and well stocked. The restaurants were not quite up to par with prior visits, but.... The buffet was attractive and inviting. (Some mornings, the bacon was burnt or almost raw.) Grounds are beautiful and well-maintained. Heartily recommend! Good experience and needy employees.

Royalton is a beautiful property, and the staff were warm, friendly, and welcoming. Unfortunately, the Hideaway adults-only section felt like an afterthought rather than the premium experience we paid for. Almost all the amenities were located on the main Royalton side, requiring lengthy walks. Hideaway had no dedicated buffet or proper dining area, meaning we had to share spaces with families and children. We specifically booked an adults-only resort for our honeymoon to enjoy a peaceful, romantic atmosphere, and that expectation was not met. The restaurants served good food, but the buffet lacked variety, especially during our midweek stay. The bars were not fully stocked, but we made do. Our room was not fully prepared upon arrival, although the initial issues were addressed promptly. However, our handheld shower broke on Wednesday night, and despite maintenance attempting repairs on Thursday, it remained broken when we checked out. This caused unnecessary discomfort and inconvenience during what should have been a relaxing honeymoon. The Hideaway side also lacked daytime activities and nightlife, making it feel rather boring. For an adults-only resort charging premium rates, we expected much more. Ultimately, Hideaway feels like an overpriced extension of Royalton rather than a true adults-only luxury experience. We had a wonderful honeymoon because we made the most of our time together, not because of what Royalton Hideaway offered. We will not be returning!
