I think the property was great with good services and attentive workers. However , i feel it was bit overpriced not just for the room also for any extra services we were considering. As result we ended up doing lots of dining outside of the pavillio. And to our surprise we noticed other doing the same. Lol. Amazing 👏

Fairmont Royal Pavilion has great potential with its beautiful setting, but the service fell short of our expectations as this is a high end hotel with a price tag to match. The Fairmont Pavilion has truly stunning views and is a picture perfect setting. However, the overall experience was let down by the level of service, which lacked the warmth and attentiveness Compared to other, even lower-rated hotels we’ve stayed at on the island, where staff consistently went above and beyond to ensure a comfortable and memorable stay, the Fairmont felt impersonal. The service lacked that special touch that makes guests feel truly welcome and cared for. While the setting is undeniably beautiful, the experience didn’t quite meet our expectations, especially given the Fairmont’s reputation.

Good beachside location

Pleasant! Great room with beautiful views. Nice pool and excellent service from Simon at the poolside. Breakfast was underwhelming and the environment was scruffy with birds flying everywhere and fresh and old bird poo on the dining chairs that were old and uncomfortable. The staff were pleasant. This hotel is NOT the standards of other Fairmont Hotels by any means!

Lovely Place to Stay But Plan on Eating Elsewhere

The property is lovely and the staff were all very friendly but the Food service is a disaster. On our first night we ate in the Palm Terrace and were treated to very thin and very peppery "Chowder" with possibly 3 tiny pieces of fish, followed by rubbery and tasteless octopus. The main courses of snapper and lobster trio (that night it was a solo) were equally grossly over-spiced and chewy. You would think better seafood would be available when you can see the water! We had lunch at Taboras and were treated to possibly the worst lobster fritters on the planet. Everything in both restaurants tasted frozen and most likely prepared with a microwave. Even the room service flatbread pizza was terrible, again chewy and clearly straight from the microwave. The staff, while friendly, didn’t seem to know anything about the menu or how the food was prepared. Such a shame to dine in such nice venues with such bad food. As far as the room goes, we had a lovely seaside Beachfront King Suite, but there was paint peeling, malfunctioning phones and the mini-fridge was “not temperature controlled”, whatever that means. It took nearly 2 days to have a replacement fridge delivered. As stated, the property is lovely, but need a facelift, some staff training, and a serious overhaul of the food service.

Wonderful stay

Wonderful time spent at Fairmont. Warm welcome from the moment we stepped on the property. Got a room upgrade and complimentary bottle of champagne to celebrate our anniversary. The cleaning staff kept the rooms well maintained and replenished the water daily. Ate in the Taboras restaurant and daily breakfast. Great choice and very good food. Beach lovely and clean, crystal clear waters. Relaxed, friendly vibe. Highly reccomend the Fairmont Royal Pavilions
