While very lovely one thing that comes to mind about the Royal Plantation is to reach the beach you have to go down many sort of steep stairs, unless your room is on the end of the resort that has the elevator (at times when we've been there the elevator was out of order). I have a problem with weakness in my legs and it was very difficult for me to navigate the steps at times. Should you need to use the bathroom you would have to take the elevator back to your suite or walk up the steps as there is no bathroom on the beach level. Also, to reach one of the restaurants you have to walk up stairs.
