She added: “The Certificate of Excellence award provides top performing establishments around the world the recognition they deserve, based on feedback from those who matter most, their customers.”

General Manager of The Royal by Rex Resorts Richard Michelin sees the TripAdvisor award as a tribute to the hard work and excellent service of the staff and executive team at The Royal.

He said: “The past six months have been absolutely exciting for us at The Royal.  We have completed renovations to 50 of our suites, which are now fitted with 24-inch rain showers, new beds, floors and cupboard designs. All our rooms now have cable TV with up to 80 channels. The pool bar, tent and rondels have also been refurbished.
Our new executive chef, Eike Lauffe has introduced new menus to The Chic and L’Epicure. In addition, our warm and friendly staff continue to extend the royal treatment to guests. We are very proud to be in the top performing 10 percent of hospitality businesses worldwide. It’s a testament of the quality of the vacation experience that we offer at The Royal by Rex Resorts.”
