From the moment I arrived at RACV Royal Pines Resort, I knew I was in for something special. The resort is a perfect blend of luxury, comfort, and tranquility. I was warmly welcomed with an early check-in, which allowed me to settle in and start my stay with ease. My room was spacious, clean, and offered a breathtaking view of the pools, golf course, and lush gardens. Waking up to that view every morning was pure magic.
The facilities at Royal Pines are exceptional. The pools are beautifully maintained and the perfect temperature—whether I was swimming early in the morning or relaxing poolside in the afternoon. There’s something peaceful about lying by the water, drink in hand (the passionfruit mocktail from the pool bar was a favorite), and just taking it all in.
The One Spa was an absolute highlight. I had the Vichy shower and massage, and left feeling completely renewed. Sitting out on the spa deck overlooking the water, I felt more relaxed than I have in years.
I also dined twice at Arakawa, the Japanese restaurant on-site. Both times the food was outstanding.
For dessert lovers, Trattoria Amici deserves a special mention. I ordered both the tiramisu and the sixteen-layer chocolate cake to enjoy in my room.
The check-out process was quick and efficient, though I was sad to leave.
The resort was the perfect setting for healing, reflection, and rejuvenation. I’ll definitely be back—and next time, I’m staying longer.
