The Royal Tulip may be a good hotel for business users and conferences, or for weekend travellers seeking a stopover. It is not geared to tourists staying for longer. The pool area was completely bare, pool bar closed, very limited info on menus for restaurants, and the spa and indoor pool were incredibly pricey extras. Ended up leaving early and paying again to stay at Hotel Barcelo, which was far more luxurious and appropriate. On the plus side all staff were curteous, and the room was very pleasant, although the shower ran hot and cold .
