This hotel was incredible. Every room had a view of the bluest ocean I've ever seen. The staff was very courteous and helpful. The food was delicious, there were many options and room service was a great convenience.

The swimming pools were gorgeous and there was a swim-up pool bar that we utilized a lot. Although 6 of us came here for a college spring break, I would not really recommend it for youth travel. This hotel is perfect for older folks who don't need to be right across the street from the hoppin' Cancun nightlife. We had to take a bus to and from the main bars on the strip, which was not difficult or expensive but we would rather have been able to walk.

We were also pleased with the free tennis courts and the little market on the first floor where we purchased groceries to cook in our kitchen, and booze.

We've stayed here for a week in february since 2000. We always look forward to our trip because we have yet to have a negative experience at this resort. It is perfect for our family. We have 2 kids under 5 and we have found the perfect balance of activities and relaxation here.

The pool area winds through the resort with a shallow pool on one end and a deeper pool on the other. The pool is heated now and it is great! It is kept at a temp that is refreshing but not freezing or warm.

The restaurant is good. They have a different theme each night. Lunch is very good as well. My favorite items: The Mexican Steak Sandwich, Grouper Tacos, Black Bean Soup, Tortilla Soup, and Tres Leche Cake. They have a small carry-out/bakery/pizzeria that we used to order pizza or tres leche cakes. We love the bar/food service available on the beach. The drinks are reasonable especially for happy hour.

We stay in a 2 bedroom on the 7th floor. The view is great. The breeze off the ocan in the evening is amazing. They have maid service 6 days a week and it is wonderful. They provide safes for your valuables which we use although we have not had any theft issues. Better safe than sorry. Everything is clean and in good condition. Plenty of room as well.

The Royal Caribbean is in the middle of two other Royal Resorts that you are free to enjoy. Each one has a pool area and restaurants that are great. I believe the restaurants are only open to members and guests. The only time we waited for a table was at El Conquistador and we only waited 5 min. The staff we encountered were friendly, helpful and spoke english very well. There are plenty of activities the we enjoyed as a family. Our favorite is painting small ceramics in a shaded area by the pool. It was relaxing and the kids love it. When you are done, they touch them up and glaze them. They make them look amazing! It is anywhere from $4 to $15 and they make great gifts.

Overall, this is a great resort for families or anyone who wants a fun (but not a bunch of rowdy drunks) and relaxation.

The Royal Caribbean is beautiful Just like the pictures only nicer when you see it first hand. the service was great and the entire staff extremely friendly and helpful. the only complaint I have NO AMERICAN EXPRESS CARDS. they do not accept them. ( of course we were not told until we got there) 2nd complaint: their card system. They issue everyone in your room a card that opens your door BUT it is also used to buy from their stores or botique or to dine in any of their facilities.You can not use a credit card or cash while you are a guest in their facilities. This is fine if you are just one family. I was with my daughter and grandson, and as much as I wanted to either buy a gift or something I did not at the resort as I did not want my daughter to get the bill at the end of our stay , showing my purchases.. Reserved most of our shopping to outside the area of the resort, and dined several times out of the resort so I could pick up the tab. New Restaurant Cpt. Cove excellent. . The Myan Ruin tour was superb with an extremely knowlegable guide.he gets 10*. Restaurants in the resort a bit pricey. Breakfast at the Myan is much better than the Royal Caribbean. So go there. Buffet is 12 us dollars per person. Beaches forget about them . If you are going for that nice beach and want to take a plunge in the ocean forget about it. too rocky. Overall I rated this resort 5 as it is clean, fabulous rooms, excellent service. Cancun is not the place I would want to return to as it is highly commercialized, Stores that I can go to in North Jersey or NY and that is not what I go away to see. To me the local flavor got lost somewhere along the way. the only shopping that was the haggle kind was at Market28, and our thanks to the gentleman on the bus to point us in the right direction.

Our 2nd visit to Cancun and the Royal Resorts. We own timeshare and have stayed many places. This family of resorts is amazing. This trip we had 2- 2 bedroom units. I loved it! The beach is a little bit of a bummer. The erosion is bad and you can't get in the water at the resort. There are huge boulders that make it to dangerous. You can go to the Royal Sands (on the free shuttle) and utilize the beach. The pools are great- Happy Hour starts at 3pm. Marcos is awesome at the Royal Mayan pool bar. This visit we decided to use the resorts for most of our meals. I was very impressed with the quality of the food and the prices were reasonable for a resort. Next, the service and friendliness is UNBELIEVABLE! The conciere assigned to my units did a fantastic job. Yes, they ask if you want to know about becoming an owner. That is their job. But they don't hassle you about it, like they do at the airport and at many of the resorts. The resort is so CLEAN. They are always cleaning...everywhere you turn every day, staff is cleaning. You will smell musty rooms. People need to understand in Mexico and in the Caribbean that the humidity levels are high and that a lot of things are kept open most of the time. You will not be disappointed at any of the resorts..Royal Islander, Mayan, Sands or Caribbean. We will go again! And Again! And Again!
