Fun Royale-Tropical is FUUUUUUN!

Three children ages 11 to 16, Grandomother 50 (who only travels 5 star), and 4 parents ages 39 to 49. It was a blast! I was inebriated most of the time, but everything else was top notch. Staff were incredible! Ramone (Spagetti) and Angel made the week for my kids. (Raome has Megans studded bracelet) I recommend this resort ONLY if you want to have fun. If you want a relaxing week to read a book, don't go to a resort called "FUN" It had to be the best priced resort of the year. Well under 1000.00 only because it is not right on the beach. The beach bar was fantastic! Selling time sahre...all you say is no thanks, and that is it. They will be pleasant to you the rest of the week. When you see them they treat you like they know you. My fave part, (besides all the booze you can drink)are the cats. I always took my leftovers to them. (on the sly, cause your not supposed to) I wonder if all my bartenders will remember how to make "Yellow Bird" Because, even the grandmother will return every year now! Planning my next trip as I type.

Fun tropicale was so mch fun. The animation team was fantastic especially spaghetti, jose, angel an carlos. The food was really really nice and the 24h bar was really good, you should try the Brasillian and the italian reastaurant but you just have to book itthe weather was not as nice as it could be but the animation team did everything to make us happy. I meet so many fantastic people. Love u all.

The Fun Royale Is The Best Because Of One Staff Member, Don't Get Me Wrong I Love Them All, But Jose Nunez Was The Best. Missing You Babe.

Loved everything about this hotel especially the animation team: Johnny, Caramello, Pikatchu and Andreos. I'm especially missing Johnny, boy he was such fun and very fit :-) The food was really nice especially the jacket potatoes at 5 in the morning, yumyumm. The alcohol definitely wasn’t watered down either, the lager tasted just like Stella, the cocktails were nice, also definitely try the fruit punch (you can have it without alcohol), very nice. The shows at night were really good and different each night, some nights they even did water shows where they would be in water dancing and stuff. All the staff are very friendly and kind. I would definitely recommend this hotel to any one of all ages, I am going back in 3 months and counting :-)

Our 2nd time there ane we loved it more!!

There were four girls in our group ranging from age 30 to 43. We were in the Fun Royale in August 2005 and were nervous about returning. We had nothing to worry about as 2nd time round we had an even better time. Staff from last year remembered us which was so lovely, Daniel the Barman, Rico and Saffy the dancers. They were so welcoming and happy to see us back! This year we spent more time laughing and dancing with the animation team: Jonny, Domingo, Jose, Andrei and Pikachu. We've booked up for 2006 and can't wait to catch up with them. We couldn't fault any of the staff they were always happy to help. The food was good and we loved the fresh fruit and salad. Get up early to book the Italian and Brazilian restaurants, it is worth it! The shows were great, get round early to guarantee a seat. The guys are great dancers, Anthony got a standing ovation, maybe that was for his 16 pack though! The shows are not Broadway efforts but get with it an enjoy, you are on holiday afterall. I did the club dance every night. Its good exercise and a bit of a giggle! The only problem with the shows was the kids running wild despite the staff asking parents to keep their kids away from the stage and the changing rooms. This is the fault of parents, not staff. Parents please keep an eye on your kids!! The rooms are cleaned daily, we tipped the cleaners at the end of the holiday. Some people tipped daily but you get clean towels every day regardless. It rained for two afternoons and one full day. The rainy day activities are limited, but the same can be said about any sunshine resort. We just played bingo, darts, did some dancing and chatted to the boys, not bad for a rainy day! As this is a hotel and resort for couples and families in the evenings after the show the place cleared out, even the 24 hour bar wasn't that busy most nights. We just jumped in the free taxis to Roadway and Hemingways each night. Friday night in Roadway was amazing. Mangu on the Saturday was even better. The music is mainly latin music, merengue, bachata, salsa but R&B was played a lot too. Sean Paul and Shakira were never off the turntables. The Dominican men are a bit naughty when they dance, if you don't like it say no. We loved the music and the dancing and the Dominican way. The men in the Dominican Republic can dance unlike most men from the British Isles. A group of Irish lads staying at our hotel tried to dance with some local girls but the locals couldn't move for laughing. I did try to help with their moves but they were having none of it. Take part in the dance lessons at the hotel, the staff can show you what to do. Otherwise get yourself to Mangu and see how the locals do it!! For those looking for a romantic break or a 5 star hotel for 3 star prices don't come here. For families and couples wanting to have a good time this is definitely the hotel for you. For singles, ladies can have loads of fun if you are happy to love the music and dancing; for the boys, there are not hundreds of single ladies waiting for your attention but there are lots of daytime activities for you to enjoy, give the dancing and the music a chance and you never know what will happen. Fun Royale / Tropicale Rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Fun Royale/ Tropicale is one of the best hotels ever. I have been there a number of times and am still satisfied with my visits, and am returning next week
