Sentido Port Royal Villas and Spa

Basil’s makes the best cocktails! 😍🍸

From check-in to restaurant teams, poolside and resort staff all of them were exceptional, friendly but professional, welcoming and helpful…you couldn’t ask for any more really, a truly great team.

Start with the only real negative and it’s purely subjective, and that was the beach area. Although the beds are great and the best in the area along that shoreline, the beach itself isn’t great, naturally quite pebbly and dark sand so not great to spend time on…the water is beautiful, clean and perfect blue though, with good service from the team if you require when down at the beach.

We were lucky enough to book 9 days in one of the Beachfront Bungalows with a private pool, overlooking some amazing views of the ocean and beachside greenery; The room was beautifully laid out, well maintained and housekeeping was on point. There are a number of trees hanging over the pool area and by the end of the day, lots of sap and debris from the trees has fallen, however by the time you wake up, the pool man has been and cleared it ready for an early morning dip, so always pristine. The one downside to the pool area is purely a result of nature, and that’s the constant daytime noise of the Cicadas which at times exceeds 100d, although after a few days it does become white noise and poolside snoozing resumes.

Food wise, across the whole complex standard for us were very high, great buffet choices for breakfast and evening meals, the combined La Pasteria & Amira on the ground floor were great, but top choice for us was Cibus upstairs with a mix of Asian fusion, good music and live singing; The addition of the Lobster evening on Friday night was really good with the 5 step menu. We were on All Inclusive so some items were outside the package but plenty of choices to go for even though we did go for a fair few as additional supplements, but all top quality and presented really nicely.

We used the gym and spa a couple of times and have to say, the ladies and services in the spa were exceptional and very well priced. Highly recommend the massage and treatments.

The only constructive feedback on the hotel itself would be for some room information to be shared in the room we had. It took a bit to sort out lighting, outdoor plunge bath functions, and whether or not we were leaving our room open for cleaning or DND etc; We were misinformed about ‘please clean our room’ & ‘do not disturb’ instructions which we were told were on lights by the door, but after a day or two thinking we were going mad, found our bungalow didn’t have that as we found out after a visit from the handy man for a broken tv (dealt with very efficiently). I think the check in staff must have assumed it was one of the other rooms so a bit of slight confusion on our part but not major issue, just a slight niggle. Some local info would have been nice to have to hand in the room, as everything is driven through a hotel app that you’re given access to on arrival, sometimes it would be nice to get away from the phone, but unfortunately it’s the only source of information.

Really only very insignificant - and probably overly picky on our part - niggles, for feedback, on what was an exceptional stay at a beautiful resort, looked after by an amazing team end to end. We would happily return!

Thank you Sentido Port Royal team.

We had the best of experience at Port Royal Villas & Spa for my mother in laws 60th birthday. The resort is beautiful, ambient and calm - pure luxury. Our favourite part was spending our lunch and dinner times at the al a carte restaurant with Yota, her and her team looked after us so well and everything we ordered was delicious. A perfect holiday.
