Royale vs Tropicale
we have stayed in both locations. don't know of any special room. royale is closer to the main pool/bar area, and calypso restaurant. tropicale is a little more quiet. the best room in royale was 309-311, but they gave it to mario mattana, the hotel manager. another nice location in royale is B 213. it's a corner room with a wrap around balcony, on the 2nd floor. tropicale rooms are all about the same.
while i am offering info, i would like to ask that you locate the thread: help the schools via fundacion patria. it's near the bottom of pagae 10. please read the thread, and then i hope you will be moved to bring an extra bag filled with school supplies for the children. you can leave your donation with mario mattana, as he is actively involved with fp. the kids need our help.
good reading. good trip.
enjoy your dominican experience
