Universal Hotel Castell Royal

Hotel was exceptionally clean and staff were very friendly. Great location in a small quiet resort - perfect. All inclusive option was good value, with added bonus of being able to visit a nearby beach bar which was also included at particular times.

Beds were too firm for my liking, and having to pay to reserve pool sunbeds was a bit strange, although it does solve the usual problem of guests putting towels on beds at the crack of dawn!

Rooms: we got a room in higher floor with spectacular sea view and a nice balcony to enjoy it. Room was recently renovated. There was no water boiler by default, but we got it after we mentioned. Food: There was a big selection with changed menus everyday. The ingredients were fresh. Staff: friendly and helpful. Location: if you are looking for parties, this is not something for you. But if you want to relax and enjoy the seaside, then it's perfect. If you wanna visit around, it is better to have a car, parking is available on the road and it was not difficult to find one in October.

If we must find one weak point, the taste of food could be improved. There were some very good dishes, but in average, we were expecting better flavor in a 4star hotel. In addition, free wifi was not very stable, but it's enough for holiday.

Location - right behind the beach so could relax on a sunbed by the pool and then easily go for a quick dip in the sea. There was a shower by the entrance to the pool so you can get all the sand off before coming back to the pool. Fridge in the room was very useful.

There were no tea/coffee making facilities in the room. Limited parking on site (=3 spaces) and roads around the hotel were busy so sometimes had to park quite far from the hotel.

Stunning location, great value for money, beautiful clean and refurbished rooms, lobby, restaurant and bar. Will go there again

Best hotel in the area, I know Canyamel for 50 years. Always clean, fresh well maintained. Stunning views.
