"Fun Royale - a superb three story property nestled in the Playa Dorada Complex in Puerto Plata, neighbors the challenging 18 hole golf course designed by Robert Trent Jones and its sister property Fun Tropicale.
All facilities are shared by both hotels, which offer a wide range of activities and entertainment to our guests and just 500 meters from the golden beaches of Playa Dorada.
The complex is just a 20 minute ride from International Airport General Gregorio Luperón, and 5 minutes from the charming town of Puerto Plata.
Fun Royale...

...What a Fantastic little Island, Fihalhohi IslandResort is in the South Male Atoll in the Maldives.
After a 10 and a half hour flight from Gatwick we landed at Male International Airport, we were escorted to the Speed boat. The transfer was only 40 minutes with views of other islands on the way.
As we approached the island we knew this was the Paradise we expected. Tall palm trees, white sand beaches, bright blue skies and turquoise sea. We walked down the small wooden jetty to the reception while the boat crew carried our cases. We were given a refreshing fruit drink with cool towels then filled in our registration cards. We were taken to our room by the staff who very kindly carried our heavy cases, we tipped them a few dollars for this.
Our single storey beach bungalow was very nice, with a very large double bed, dressing table...
