Royal Beach Cabanas

The little bungalow-style houses are adorable, and there’s a pretty beach to the east. It seemed like hardly anyone was staying there. The staff were helpful, and there’s a fun bar attached to the hotel. Beds are decent, though after a long day scuba diving I’m grateful for anything semi-soft. The A/C worked great and there’s a closet for clothes. It’s on the south end of the city, with a quick golf cart ride into town and several food options nearby if you don’t feel like driving into the city.

The location on the quiet south side of the island was perfect, with quick, easy access to everything in town. The front desk ladies were awesome, and we can’t say enough about how great they were. The team were wonderful, friendly, and so ready to help in any way. They even worked hard to make sure my wife gets back the bag of makeup and face products, along with her wallet, that she left under the sink when we checked out. The rooms were clean, the beds comfy, the A/C worked great, and the kitchenette had everything needed to make a nice meal. The property was clean too. Five stars all day. This is hands down the best place to stay on San Pedro. 10/10, we’ll definitely stay again. If you get the chance, do it, you won’t be disappointed! -Aaron & Amy

The reception and restaurant/bar staff were great, and the location is handy for supermarkets, restaurants, and a dive center. But in April the seaweed was excessive, so it wasn't a good time to visit. I could hear the TV and conversations from rooms on both sides through the thin walls. For more privacy and a quieter stay, a cabana or one of the pricier rooms might be a better fit.

We were here for two weeks and had a really good time. It’s a friendly, quiet place, nothing fancy, but it worked perfectly for us. The fridge and microwave made it easy to store food and heat it up. I never switched on the TV, so I can’t comment on that.
