Review by hotel critic
As a landscape photographer, my journey to Royal Valentia was not just a stay but an exploration of luxury and value in the heart of the picturesque Valentia Island. The location, overlooking the harbour, and the stunning views it offered were indeed a treat for the senses. The warm welcome from the staff, particularly during breakfast, was a pleasant touch that added to the overall experience.When it comes to evaluating the value proposition of the hotel, I must point out that while the amenities and services provided were adequate, one should carefully weigh the cost against what is offered. The room, although comfortable, lacked certain modern conveniences such as soundproofing, potentially affecting the quality of rest.The on-site dining options were satisfactory, offering a selection of well-priced, home-cooked meals. However, for those seeking a more refined culinary experience, further exploration might be required.In conclusion, Royal Valentia presents a charming accommodation option with a friendly atmosphere and a prime location. However, for those seeking a blend of luxury and value, it might be worth considering alternatives that offer a more comprehensive range of amenities and services for the price.
