Back from our week at the Royal Cancun. Nearly perfect! Most drivers and locals still refer to it as the Club Internacional de Cancun and confuse it with the "Royal in Cancun" Loved staying there and going to the Sands for the beach and ocean front couples massage, or others for meals. I compare it to a giant cruise ship... More

Enjoyed 5 nights and 6 days at this incredible hotel. Everything from the food & drinks to the pillows on our bed were outstanding. Edwardo in the beach bar served the most wonderful mango tangos for me everyday and treated me like gold. I'd go there again in a second! More

Just back from a week at Royal Cancun that we obtained through a trade. The reviews about the resort had me concerned - specifically about the beach/water and the age of the resort. The beach is fine - lots of room, lots of chairs and shade, the sea grass isn't ideal, but didn't slow us down. The interior of our... More

This facility is part of The Royal chain in Cancun and also in St Maarten (Simpson Bay) and Curacao. Also owned by this chain of timeshares in Cancun isThe Royal... More

My husband and I have traveled much of the world. The Royal Resorts can NOT be equalled. You know the resort is doing something right when you see the same staff each year! We purchased our original week in 1997 as a re-sale. When the resort asked owners to re-invest, we gladly said YES! Royal Cancun (a.k.a. Vacation Club International)... More

Stayed here for 3 nights after 4 hectic nights in play del carmen, had a beachfront 3rd floor room with great views of Isla Majures. The resort is very near to the inlet to the lagoon so you get to see all kinds of interesting boats go by (ferry, yachts, sailboats and party pirate ships). Nice and quiet, with a... More

We just spent 2 weeks at Royal Cancun and loved every minute of it. We liked it so much that we bought a third week. In short, the place is immaculate and super clean. The maids and groundskeepers are constantly working meticulously to ensure that everything is in showroon condition. The food at the Palapa is excellent no matter what... More

Stayed two nights at The Royal Cancun. Very pleased with the service level. Everyone was attentive and friendly. Top notch service. Reynaldo was excellent in securing van (at a reasonable price) to take us to Puerto Morelos. Getting us set up, etc. All of the staff was great. The room was spacious and immaculate. We had a pool and partial... More

You cannot find a better place to relax and enjoy the caribbean. Royal Cancun, formerly VCI, is the jewel of the 6 Royal Resorts. While all are first class in service, facilities and grounds, Royal Cancun is the most laid back and relaxing place in Cancun. After 27 years of trips to the Royal Resorts we still cherish our stay... More

This resort was absolutely 5 star, amazing! The best part was having one of the staff there named Miguel hook us up with Tickets, transport, VIP to various events while we were there. Even went to Tiesto at the City and had VIP seating and treatment the whole show with an area over looking the stage. Miguel couldn't have arranged... More
