The Royal Paradise Hotel & Spa – SHA Extra Plus

The Royal Paradise Hotel & Spa – SHA Extra Plus Overview

You know what caught me off guard about The Royal Paradise Hotel & Spa – SHA Extra Plus? It’s actually way more sophisticated than the name suggests – I mean, that title makes it sound like one of those over-the-top resort chains, but honestly, there’s something genuinely refined about this place that surprised me.

The moment I walked into the lobby, I could tell this four-star property takes itself seriously. The spa element isn’t just thrown in as an afterthought either – they’ve got this whole wellness vibe woven throughout the hotel that feels authentic, not like marketing fluff. The treatment rooms are tucked away in this quiet wing where you can actually hear water features instead of elevator dings, which is rarer than you’d think. I ended up booking a Thai massage on my second day (because jet lag, obviously), and the therapist actually asked detailed questions about pressure preferences instead of just going through the motions.

What really won me over though was how they handle the little things. The SHA Extra Plus certification means they’re serious about health protocols – not in an annoying, over-sanitized way, but more like they’ve thought through cleanliness as part of the experience rather than an interruption to it. The breakfast setup, for instance, has individual serving stations that somehow don’t feel clinical, and the staff actually changes gloves between guests without making a big show of it. The rooms are spacious enough that you’re not bumping into furniture (I’m looking at you, every boutique hotel ever), and they’ve got these rainfall showers that deliver actual water pressure. Small thing, but you know how disappointing a weak hotel shower can be after a long travel day. The beds are properly firm too – not that squishy hotel mattress situation where you wake up feeling like you slept in quicksand. Honestly, I slept better there than I do at home, which might say more about my mattress than theirs, but still. The 7.8 rating makes sense when you experience it – it’s not perfect, but it gets the important stuff right without trying too hard to impress you with gimmicky amenities you’ll never use.
