Best Deal Guaranteed

Direct booking with the resort will always be your best option.

At Royal Reservations our commitment is to deliver you only the best.

No matter which resort you choose, Royal Reservations guarantees that you will not find a lower rate anywhere.

But, what happens if you find a better rate? We will match the price refunding the difference (1) with the opportunity of getting rewards(2). For further information please read our terms & conditions.

If after confirming your reservation a lower rate is made available for any of our resorts in any website or online travel agency you will have to contact us via email at bestdeal@royalresorts.com informing us about a possible better rate elsewhere.
