My friend (38) and I (29) stayed at the Royal PDC 4/29-5/3 after a short stay at La Tortuga. First a little background… This was my fifth time to the area. I’ve previously stayed at Gran Porto Real (while the Royal was being built), Copacabana (Catalonia Tulum now I think), Iberostar Paraiso del Mar and Iberostar Cozumel. It was my... more

Fantastic service, food, and staff! Over the entire stay, we only had problems with one staff member at the Chefs Plate when we were arriving to be seated. Her attitude towards us was terrible but fortunatly the rest of the staff more than made up for the maitre de's poor attitude. The pool activity staff were absolutely great as well... more

Just returned from both the Royal in Playa del Carmen, as well as the Royal in Cancun (will post a separate review for Cancun). My fiancee had never been to an all-inclusive and was highly impressed with all aspects of the Royal. The architecture was beautiful (although the carved decor through the resort was a little over-done) and layout is... more

This was our second year staying at the Royal and were not disappointed! You can't beat the location of this hotel. 5 minutes (maybe less) away from 5th avenue for great shopping, bars and restaurants. The rooms are quite large, beautiful and very clean. The housekeeping staff are friendly and efficient. The nightly turndown service is also a very nice... more

My husband and I stayed at the Royal Playa Del Carmen – the hotel was great! The service was absolutely fantastic and you can’t beat the location of being a 2 minute walk from 5th avenue. We loved the cabanas on the beach – oddly enough most of the guests hung out by the pool so the beach was never... more
