We had a wonderful family getaway at RACV Royal Pines, with excellent facilities and a great pool that kept everyone entertained. The room we stayed in was massive and comfortable, making it perfect for our family. The only downside was an uncomfortable interaction with a staff member during our stay. Overall, I highly recommend this place for families looking for a fun-filled vacation.

I had high hopes for Royal Pines given my past experiences at other RACV resorts, but I found it lacking in several areas. The hotel has a dated feel and the cleanliness of the rooms left much to be desired. On a positive note, the facilities like the pool were enjoyable for my kids and the food was generally good. However, the service could use some improvement, especially in responsiveness.
