This is the first review I have ever written but felt compelled as I had spent hours sorting through the "Tripadvisor" reviews prior to scheduling our May 2012 trip to The Royal-Playa Del Carmen. This was our second trip to the Riviera Maya. May 2011 was spent at Secrets Maroma. Regardless of how hard I tried not to, I spent... More

We stayed in The Royal for four days in May. We were there to celebrate our friends wedding and ofcourse relax and unwind at the same time! This place is all about combining the luxuries of an all-inclusive resort along with one of the best locations! This resort has one of the best location in downtown Playa as it is... More

We have to say that our Honeymoon was amazing. We were at the Royal 5/5-5/11/12 The folks at the royal are wonderful the food was amazing. We especially enjoyed Pelicano's wonderful food and warm relaxing breezes..Spice was a great go to choice also. Room service was great also. Couples massages were great as well.Entertainment at night was really nice but... More

My husband and I just returned from 7 days at The Royal in PDC. Our experience was so great...this place has everything you could possible want for either a relaxing or active vacation. A special thank you: The pool staff (Omar, Dennis, George, and Theresa) was very entertaining and accommodating. They are very energetic and keep the guests active and... More

Thirty five family & friends travelled to The Royal Playa Del Carmen to attend my sons wedding. It was the most incredibly beautiful wedding that I have ever attended. It was so much fun and it also provided an opportunity for a family vacation. Some guests were not happy with the location of their rooms but the hotel staff made... More

We were 3 sisters on our yearly vacation so this resort was the best. The food, the staff (handsome Omar who works the activities), the rooms, the grounds, the shopping I will definatly go back. One small complaint, some of the restaurants needs to invest in air conditioning units let's face-it Mexico is hot but in many ways More

I am not one for full on reviews, but we relied on the reviews of others to book our trip, so I thought I would quickly share the pros and cons of The Royal in our opinion. Overall, we really enjoyed our experience. We were celebrating our second wedding anniversary and looking for a simple relaxing vacation and that is... More

This was our second stay at the Royal. First, I would like to commend one of the beach butlers, Celia, for her attentiveness and pleasant personality. I also enjoyed meeting Maria Latessia, who provided the excellent turn--down service. For the most part, the service provided was good, but I would like to report an unpleasant incident. My disappointment with the... More

We stayed at the Royal Playa del Carmen for 2 weeks in April/May 2012. We chose the resort mainly because it was adults only and had great reviews, and on the whole we weren't disappointed. Some of the positives are its location on the edge of a busy modern town. Unlike many of the "secluded" resorts along the Riviera Maya,... More
