We stayed for 7 nights at the Macao and had a wonderful experience. The staff was very accommodating. Beach and pool are very nice and the pool/beach service was exceptional. I traveled with two children ages 7 and 2 and they loved it too. The staff was very welcoming and kind to the children. There was no problem finding something... more

We have just returned from RPM and had a good holiday! summary as follows: Hotel - nice and spacious giving a good choice of using the beach or pool.

What a fabulous place this resort was!. We were there for 2 fabulous weeks. The moment we arrived at this resort we were pampered. I find it hard to believe anyone would say anything negative. The animaction team...Johnny Bravo, Big John, Big Papi, EZE and Nanu made the day fun. They entertained with so much humour and made everyone feel... more
