Breathtaking views and amazing staff at this newly-opened resort. Visited for the Grand Opening to celebrate a milestone birthday, and chose a swim-out room! Because of the opening, some of the amenities were not available. The staff were amazing (kind, respectful, and eager to help) although they were still learning (which was understandable). The food choices were adequate and leave some area for improvement for taste, but all-in-all this was a wonderful experience with the beach and pool amenities, as well as the amazing artfully-inspired entertainment, and water activities, including snorkeling, and hydro-aerobics.

Most staff were professional. They seem excited about this resort, which opened at the beginning of the month. Some spa amenities, the hydrotherapy pools, were not working properly. Additionally, there are kinks, if you will, that need to be ironed out as this resort prepares for busy season. For instance, I was not placed in the room I had paid for because I reserved through Expedia (at least, I was told this); some amenities were not provided, reflecting a lack of consistent knowledge among staff; the same dish was ordered on several different days but the ingredients were never consistent and orders not always correct; and housekeeping sometimes skipped service or did not replenish, e.g., towels when they did come; in-room amenities were not in all rooms or provided at all. Service at times was painfully slow even at >25% capacity. There’s plenty of beach and poolside furniture and use was, for now, available first come, first served. Beaches in Barbados are public and locals will offer excursions to beach goers. It is an adults-oriented property. Entertainment was generally low-key/energy but loud if an early to bedder. In all, this is a beautiful resort with gorgeous appointments and art in the main areas, along with a generally friendly, accommodating staff. Mikketa, Rushell, Terry, Brandon, Desiree, and Shaniece, to name a few, always remembered faces and interactions. Mikketa and front desk staff worked to resolve concerns. As a solo traveler, this was welcomed.

Our first trip to Barbados and we chose the Royalton Essence. Its a brand new resort and so we got a big discount for coming during soft launch. The report is amazing with beautiful rooms and a swimable beach great for snorkeling. The staff are the highlight of the resort. The people are amazingly friendly and they go above and beyond to make the experience enjoyable. There is entertainment throughout the day and at night. Everyone we met had a great time. We will be back!

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The resort needed more time to prepare for the opening of business. They could not accommodate the small number of guests that were there and everything was very limited for an all inclusive resort. They had challenges with the plumbing, lack of food, no entertainment and time management. I will Be reaching out to corporate to seek a refund for my stay. I DO NOT recommend staying here! By far one of the worst trips I’ve ever had especially from someone who travels a lot.
