The Royal Dragon Hotel offered a blend of enjoyable moments and some disappointments during our stay. Overall, the staff were friendly and attentive, and the food variety was impressive, though the quality was sometimes lacking. The beach was lovely, giving us plenty of space to relax, but some service aspects and the condition of the rooms really detracted from the five-star experience we expected.
