Good

Grounds are well kept. Food is OK. Rooms are old, damp, mildewed . Towels and linen mildewed. Staff were slow to respond to needs and unfriendly. Jacuzzi was broken. Lobby bathroom was filthy. Spa - not air conditioned, no cold water, reused disposable slippers, changing room - filthy.
Great location, wonderful staff, quiet and beautiful property, excellent food options.
The only small but important wrinkle is the internet access. Mobile access in Eswatini is terrible compared to the rest of Africa, including poorer countries such as Rwanda. That’s for Government to sort out, urgently. Meanwhile RSS Hotel Management should provide a strong WIFI signal include in the room rate. This is global standard.
Overall a great place to stay and we will be back.
My second visit. This visit was just as good as I remember. The hotel is first class, championship golf nearby, and not too expensive, Planters restaurant excellent, as was the breakfast. The hotel staff are welcoming, courteous, friendly and efficient. Try the health spa, really nice. You can gamble here if you wish, or as we did, watch and listen to the live music. A very nice experience.
Quite far out from main cities but the hotel has some excellent amenities

My stay at Royal swazi spa was a pleasant one. Though they could improve their rooms and and room service menu. The food was not up to the hotels standard.

Too much was wrong
Could not recommend for business. The free wifi is miserly so you have to buy more - it is not expensive, but the inconvenience and bad vibe surely cannot be worth the charge for Royal Swazi. Plus, there were several times when the internet was 'out' anyway. Room was very large but dated. I had a big balcony but could not use it because it was close to some noisy hotel plant - kitchen air conditioning or something. There was nowhere suitable to meet for business. Lounge area too dimly lit, and often noisy - only suitable tables to work at were outside, where there were mosquitoes, or it was raining, or where, post rain, a gust of wind would deposit an umbrella-load of water on you. The gym was hard to find and a long way from my room, and you had to pay to use it.
Little things were wrong - no globe in a lamp, an empty salt cellar (not even plugged at the base) with room service, an inedible meal. I was on crutches, yet they put me in an upstairs room and there is no lift.
Breakfast buffet was pretty good, and service in general very nice but I would not go back and cannot recommend this hotel.
Food was excellent. Room was spacious and neat. Wi-fi was a disappointment because in most of the time it wasn't working and besides 300Mb is too little. Shower also can be improved as showering in the bath is not comfortable.
