This year marked the 29th yearly visit to the Royal Mayan. I was sad in a way to see my association with this resort coming to an end as my 30 lease is coming to an end. People have asked how I can go to the same place every year and not try other resorts. Well, I can sum it... More

Overall a great resort. They are considering an all inclusive which in my opinion will become a drunk fest. It will also take away from the "Cancun Experrience" We have been going to cancun over 25 years and have enjoyed the many excellent restaraunts in Cancun. Nice beach, clear water and plenty of activities to partake of in the area.... More

This was our first trip to Cancun, but we travel to tropical places often. This resort exceeded our expectations in every aspect. The cleanliness, beach, pools, service, and atmosphere was picture perfect. They go above and beyond to make the stay here absolutely wonderful. Our transportation with Thomas Moore was flawless as well. We will be returning in the future!... More

I had written a nice long, detailed review of our week long RCI trade/stay at the Royal Mayan and it went 'pouf' into cyber oblivion and I don't feel like spending another hour writing another review - so I will just say the resort, restaurants, staff, villa, EVERYTHING was VERY satisfactory and we have NO complaints except that we are...

The Royal Mayan was a great place to stay. It was family friendly, seemed to have a slightly older, more mature population of guests. Access to the beach was fantastic, relatively quiet and peaceful. If you're looking for lots of action, this is definitely NOT the place for you. But if you want a quiet, peaceful, serene Cancun experience, this... More

This past March was our 26th consecutive annual vacation at the Royal Mayan. They have done an outstanding job of keeping the rooms and resort very well maintained. Although the decor could use some updating, they keep the rooms and common areas very clean. You would never know it was a 29 year old resort. The Palapa Restaurant has good... More

Having spent the previous wonderful week at the Royal Sands about a mile down the beach we were a little disappointed with our second week in Cancun at the Royla Mayan. While the resort is very nice the villa assigned to us had a view of another building and only a sliver onto the Caribbean. We were told no other... More

What a great place to stay in Cancun. An older facility that has been beautifully maintained. The rooms are spacious and very clean. The pools are lovely and beach devine! It was quiet (you never heard your neighbors) and the staff very attentive. Our housekeeper was a busy bee and cleaned our unit daily. Loved it! More
