We have the Diablo. It has a bigger porch and a bigger living area. As we have been known to bring our kayaks in to the porch over night it was a big selling point for us.

The bedrooms are roughly the same size.

We've managed to avoid the 'saggy' bedroom problem posted so often about on the forum. I'm not sure if that is more a case of skill or good luck.

I liked the diablo because of the big living space - if it rains you don't feel like your all sitting on top of each other.

a man at a camping shop said that the royal was superior in quality to the vango diablo, he wasnt trying to sell me the royal either as he was sold out!  he said he always sold out of royals before any other make, i dont know how true that is.

im sure a few people on here have the royal biarritz and love it.  try doing a search at the top of the page.

You should really be comparing the Biarritz with the Diablo 600, both of which have 2 bedrooms. The 900 has a third bedroom.

we have a royal biarritz.  We initially looked at the diablo 600 (one bedroon less than 900) We viewed botth the dialbo and royal and decided upon the royal.  The sizes of both these tents are identical.  The main reason we decided on Royal  Bedrooms have an extra pole  which allows greater standing height ( the diablo doesnt have and this results in saggy bedroom walls.  We glad we bought the royal last year ( blue n grey) dont much fancy the colours this year.  We love the biarritz thick sriously before buying the vango. Friend has a vango he likes ours better.  There are those who profess BUY Vango= quality.  Acknowledged that vango in years gone by and still now manufacture excellent tents for 4 season mountain use. They have also had to compete with the numerous other companies offering affordable tents for family use.  The vast majority of these tents including vango are manufactured in the far east.  Nothing against this.   Buy a vango 2 man 4 season  mountain tent and you will get excellent quality tent for the elements it is designed to face.  Buy a vango 2 season family tent and there would be little different in quality than other manufacturers

Royal Biarritz for us. My husband can stand up in the bedrooms and he's over 6'.

The quality is excellant and the living area is so big.

yes there is a biarritz 9 this year.  We only have the two bedrooms.  Dependent on your needs.  Again go for it we love it and bedrooms much better than diablo ( thats what made our decision, and price).  Ps instructions pretty useless but plenty threads on here as to how best erect. Any further info required feel free to ask
