I was at a wedding a couple of weeks ago in May of 2012 and I would not recommend this place for weddings. Very unaccommodating, inappropriate and strange. Before we even got there the couple was dealing with issues with the place so they decided to just have the ceremony there, due to a deposit they could not get back,... More

The room was lovely and spacious, the facilities were excellant, and the staff were very helpful and friendly. There were lots of... More

I was not terribly excited about going to Mexico but my nephew decided on a destination wedding at the Royal Playa del Carmen. From our first day there the staff went out of their way to make everything perfect for us. Our room was beautiful, the choice of restaurants and food was wonderful and the proximity to 5th avenue was... More

Excellent Spa Retreat @ The Royal Hotel in Playa Del Carmen. Quality Manicure and Pedicure with additional pampering given by the girls. Relax and unwind is very easy to do when you have professionals treating you with professional and well recognised brands. Staff were excellent!

I will begin this review by saying that I am not typically an "all inclusive" type of traveler, so I would not have chosen this place, but my sister had her wedding at the The Royal in Playa del Carmen, so I was there. I will start by saying that from the moment you walk in the door, there are... More

We stayed at the Royal Playa del Carmen from April 27th - May 11th, 2 weeks, and it is a very beautiful hotel in front of the one of the nicest beaches. We took a beach front so we could listen to the ocean from our balcony in the evening or enjoy the spa in the room while smelling that... More
