Around-the-clock room service is available, as well as a 24-hour VIP Lounge serving hors d’oeuvres and premium snacks, and access to the resort's “Royal Romance Concierge.”
“Our company successfully launched Club Real Resorts in 2007 and we have never looked back. Each resort is designed to offer members and guests memorable vacations that provide the best of everything – from the moment they arrive to when they leave – and allow them to vacation in an ambiance of casual elegance,” said Fernando García Zalvidea, president of Real Resorts.
The family-friendly Gran Caribe Real Resort & Spa comprises 487 suites with open interiors, arched doorways, columns, swag drapes, dark wood furnishings, private balconies, and satellite TV and CD/DVD player.
