This elegant resort features 72 rooms and suites, with glass fronted balconies in the Luxury and Signature Oceanfront rooms. The spacious Beachfront Suites come complete with a butler service and decked terraces that are a step away from the beach, perfect for moonlit dining overlooking the ocean. The Palm Terrace restaurant has breathtaking views of the sunset over the Caribbean Sea, whilst the open-air Taboras provides exceptional international and local cuisine in a relaxed setting, just a stones throw from the waters edge.

“Wonderful staff and beautiful location, but the hotel could use some refresh”

Nov 04, 2025damidra

We stayed at the Fairmont Royal Pavilion for one day as a stopover on our way back from Grenada. Having spent a week here last year and 10 days the year before, it’s a place we’ve always returned to because of the exceptional staff and stunning beachfront setting. Special thanks to Ryan and Derrick, who once again went out of their way to make us feel welcome — their warmth and professionalism really make a difference. That said, the property feels a little less well maintained than before. There was no one to meet our taxi on arrival, and a few areas of the hotel could benefit from refurbishment and renewed investment. We also felt the breakfast, which has always been a highlight in the past, didn’t taste quite as good this time. Despite these small disappointments, we still have great affection for the Fairmont Royal Pavilion and hope to see it return to the standard that first made us fall in love with it.

“Not for children.”

Beware this hotel says it is a child free boutique hotel. We are here now and it has children everywhere and nothing for them to do. No childs pool, no kids club , no kids play area, no supervision on the beach. This hotel is not child friendly. And the adults only comment is not true!

“Amazing”
