We just returned from the Royal (Jan 28 - Feb 4) and what a vacation it was. This resort truly lived up to all the expectations we had. We want to Maureen at AAA for recommending the Royal. After a long day of travel we were greeted as soon as we stepped out of the van. We sat in the... More

I've stayed here twice in the past couple of years. The first time was to check out the resort, and the second time was to get married there. Both trips were absolutely fabulous. This place is my heaven on Earth! The rooms are all amazing, even the Junior Suites. All of the workers are super friendly and fabulous. The service... More

This was our 5th time to the Royal in the past 6 years. We have never been disappointed, and this year was no different. A few new people to point out. We had Irving for a waiter in both Chef's Plate and Spice where he was working as relief for Absent wait staff. Normally he works serving for the wedding... More

Just got back from a week at The Royal for a girls get-away. It's a beautiful property and the staff works hard to keep it spotless. We had an ocean view room on the first floor (148), close to the lobby end of the pool. The stairs aren't very conveniently located - so it was nice to be able to... More

I agree with most posts that the Royal is a fine all inclusive resort. My complaints are that the pillows are unbelievably lumpy and why have overstuffed (lumpy) duvets on beds in such a warm climate? Also, I find it weird that every room has an enormous jacuzzi tub in the middle of what could be a nice sitting area.... More

We just got back from a 4 night stay at the Royal PDC and as usual it was great. The resort the location and most of all the staff was incredible. The girls working the pool and beach(Celia,Elizabeth,Prude and Ileana)were awesome they took such great care of us we were never without a drink and they always had a smile... More

Beautiful resort! Pool and staff were amazing! The entertainment staff around the pool were a blast! Pancho, Georgie, and "Sexy Omar" made everyone feel welcome and included in activites! They got people of all ages, sizes, interests, etc involved even if it was from the sidelines! Sexy Omar made the extra effort to talk and joke with us. It is... More

Just spent an incredible week at The Royal between both Playa del Carmen and Cancun. Here is my trip report for Playa. The Royal in Playa del Carmen: Having already vacationed at the Playa resort, we went back there to “expect the exceptional” and we were not disappointed barring some minor issues mentioned below. The second you walk into the... More

Simply the best place I have ever stayed. Perfect location, great staff and facilities, awesome pool, beautiful rooms. Upgrade to the Master Suite is so worth it. Having stayed at other places in Playa I would pay to stay at the Royal even if it wasn't all inclusive. Keep in mind that all the restaurants are different and different quality,... More
