"This property was wonderful! Clean and best of both worlds- a hotel that had everything we needed (all we had to do was ask if we needed fresh towels or coffee, etc.) but set up like a little condo with living room, lanai, kitchen, and two bedrooms. It even had a laundry machine that was very convenient. Would gladly stay again!"

"I enjoyed the property. We got there at 10:30 pm, security explained everything to us and was very friendly. The resort interior was like Golden Girls decor style(1970’s beachy) it was great. The handle on the dryer popped off but talked to the property mgr and he mentioned it happens, response time was really quick too. A great place to stay and the location was perfect for what we needed."

"Our room was lovely, very spacious for a 1 bedroom apartment. The grounds were lovely and well maintained. All the staff were very friendly and accommodating. We didn’t have a car, so we had to catch the local bus to the nearest shops. The bus was free which was an extra bonus. The Royal Sea Cliff is a nice resort."
