Royal Hideaway
 
After reading all the favorable posts about the Royal Hideaway we're considering it for January. Sounds a bit like the Grand Lido Braco in Jamaica for luxury but not nearly as active or "frisky". We want good beaches and water, good food, and the chance to meet nice people. Will RH be a little too quiet and do people mingle or do they stay pretty much to themselves. Can someone compare RH with GLB?

Check out a web site called tripadvisor.com to read reviews on the Royal Hideaway. My husband and I looked into going there but were disappointed to hear of quests previous experiences and decided not to go. Can not compare to other. Sorry...

RH is not as large as Braco. The rooms have a jacuzzi tub and shower (so a bit better than Braco there. Beach is comparable. Food is very good. Ground are gorgeous. I think Heather is confused. I have never seen bad posts on RH.<BR>Pool not as big as Braco.

Jacki, thank's for the comparason. It's most helpful. One clarification tho'. I didn't think RH has an a/n facility. Does it?
