It takes about 20 minutes by Uber from the airport to the hotel, costing around USD 20。 I’m staying for five days to attend a conference. I booked Deluxe Junior King Suite with Ocean view, inclusive of the resort fee is the: two bottled waters replenished daily inside the room, two beach chairs, two adult bicycle rentals, two wellness classes. Each day when I return after a full schedule, the room is cleaned and tidied up nicely.FromUS$166

Room took an extra hour and 1/2 before I could check in. It was nice having pool/beach availability immediately but I was really in need of a nap after being up 48hrs. The waitress in the poolside restaurant was amazing. I told her my drink was a little watered down and she gave me 2 shots and mixed it again! Room was clean and comfortable and we loved the beach.FromUS$144

We spent 1 evening prior to a cruise at the Royal Beach Palace. Room had been renovated and the bed and the bedding were very comfortable. Actually the bed was more comfortable than some 5 star hotels I’ve stayed in.
No amenities at the hotel but directly across the street is a Bar & Grill where we had a most enjoyable evening. There is also a bakery in the same retail strip. Overall great value for your money particularly for a short stay. I’d be happy to stay there again.FromUS$82

The location was great because it was right off the beach but it wasn’t as great the experience. First they have hidden charges they don’t tell you online when you are booking the hotel, you only find out about the charge right when you finish paying (like the hotel $40 fee) and when you are checking in they charge $48 for mandatory valet service if the $42 self parking is full.
Additionally, we thought we were going to say in the big building as shown in the picture but no they made up stay in a smaller building across the parking lot.
The rooms do not look like they do in the pictures, they are a lot smaller and not that nice.
Overall I didn’t enjoy the hotel at all but now I know for next timeFromUS$111

While the hotel lobby might look a bit dated, the rooms themselves are new and spacious, especially the balcony and the generous sofa area, which really enhance the vacation experience. The staff are incredibly enthusiastic; every single employee we encountered was like this. The front desk even proactively upgraded us to a sea-view room, and the hotel thoughtfully provides complimentary fruits in the common areas. The only downside is that the hotel restaurant is too dark, which really takes away from the desire to enjoy a meal there.FromUS$338

My review is a little late but My husband and I with our 2 kids, stayed at the W and we had a great experience. We were there the last week of July. We stayed for 8 days. The hotel is beautiful, very upscale. Lots of amenities. From when we checked in, everyone was super nice. We had a great view of the beach from our Balcony. We stayed on the 21st floor and our floor was very quiet. Our room was very clean, always smelled good as soon as you would walk out of the elevator into the hallways. Hotel was very clean. Our room was always serviced. The room was super nice. Great access to the beach. Valet service was great, everyone was super nice. We did not eat at the hotel though because it was pretty pricey. Overall we had a great experience and definitely would return back to the W in the future. FromUS$251
