Went for our honeymoon the week of 4/6 and LOVED it! There weren't too many people at the hotel - maybe the post-Spring break lull? We had our choice of lounge chairs at the 3 pools and the beach. More empty chairs than people.

We didn’t try the restaurants since we loved the buffet so much. The food is fantastic - authentic Mexican with lots of fresh vegetables, fruits, soups, fish, a variety of meats, pozole, menudo. Every meal had at least 4 fresh juices - watermelon, papaya, melon...yum!! We didn't have a single meal that we didn't love.

Most of the bars do close at 7, however there is a sports bar off the lobby that’s open until 2 am. We went to a couple of the nighttime shows - they were entertaining.

A word of caution - we bought the airport/hotel transfer from Expedia. To get a return voucher, we had to see a rep. who sells activities. That's ok, but while waiting to talk with him, he was helping another customer. My husband speaks Spanish, and the rep (Daniel) told his customer he would check on a reservation for an activity she made through the timeshare people. He called (in Spanish) and changed the reservation to reflect that he made it, then told her the reservation was never made and he took care of it for her. Needless to say, we didn't book anything through him.

Went to the timeshare presentation. It wasn't high pressure at all, and they let us go after saying "no" just once. Got a great deal on the Chichen Itza trip, which is a LONG day from Cozumel. Got on the ferry at 7 am and returned at 10 pm. Visiting the site itself is 3 hours. The rest is on the bus and at a shopping plaza. Wouldn't do that trip again.

Our room was on the 3rd floor we could see the ocean from the balcony. Lots of hot water. Double bed was fine for us - didn't feel cramped at all. Room was clean and nicely furnished.

The grounds and the rooms were very clean, impressive. Loved the Italian restaurant, the Mexican restaurant was just okay. Make sure you bring along long pants and closed toe shoes or you will not be able to enjoy these restaurants. Women make sure your sandals are dressy, no flip flops. Children can only go into the Mexican restaurant, they have to be 12 or older for the other two restaurants, kind of a bummer! The breakfast buffet was great! The staff was courteous and friendly, however, never really connected with any staff as our family did at an all inclusive in Puerto Vallarta. The hotel has a small beach, which is certainly nice, however don't plan on taking any walks on the beach, not possible. The pools are beautiful, we liked the pool that is surrounded by palm trees, that is where all the activities are held, great for kids. Try out the free snorkeling at the hotel, saw some cool fish! Go to the international cruise market, approximately a couple of blocks from the resort, fun spot. Lots of shops for bringing home that special sovenior. Overall our experience was very good! One more thing, bring immodium A.D. with you, it certainly has been necessary. I would definitely recommend this hotel! Have fun and enjoy! Ask Alex to make you a "june bug", it was my favorite drink! Cheers!

This is our 5th trip to the Park Royal. We have been staying there since it was called the Sol Caribe. Our last trip was in 2002 and lots has changed on this island and hotel since then. Good things with the hotel and bad on the island. The hotel has always been comfortable and convenient for what we like to do in Cozumel. We were in building 2 in room 2702 and it was very comfortable and clean. The hall is loud but after about 10pm it was not too bad. We had no trouble sleeping. The room was spotless as always with a great shower, king size bed, plenty of towels, hair dryer, great a/c and a safe that cost $2 a day. We had absolutely no complaints about the room. The balcony is a nice way to take in the warm sun in the great view of the lush hotel grounds and crystal blue ocean. The food service is good. We are easy to please so we could always find something good to eat. The pools are nice but a little cloudy most of the time. We had no trouble getting a spot in the sun or shade at the beach after 10 am. Check-in was fast and easy. Everything at the hotel worked very easily and was a lovely carefree weekend. Although a lot have said the snorkeling off the beach is great…we thought different. After the hurricanes the snorkeling is just not the same anywhere around the island. If you have not snorkeled a lot you might find it impressive, but if you have ever been to Cozumel pre-hurricanes, you will find it sad and will miss all the fish and wildlife you used to find at along the reefs. Only mother nature is too blame, not the hotel. The water is super clear and you will see fish, but just not the variety and quantity there was just a few years ago. Tip…if you are around on Sunday night at 8pm take a $4 cab ride to the town square and take part in the Fiesta party where a live band plays in the gazebo. It is a great local cultural experience. This is a great hotel and well worth the bargain prices they usually offer. Just like anywhere outside the US, smile and greet people in the local language you will find hospitality any where you go! Have fun!

We stayed at the park royal in march and were pleasantly suprised. The grounds and rooms are immaculate and comtemporary, the pool areas are spacious with diversity, and the open bar is priceless!!

Although, they can improve on somethings: 1) front desk is unbearable!!! It always has a long line, they are not the friendliest, and seem unwilling to help. 2) the food is merely edible. Breakfast buffet and snack bar are by far the best. The other "specialty restaurants" are not worth the hassle to get in to. You have to wait till 12-3pm each day to make a reservation!! Come on, you are on "VACATION"!! when we were able to get a reservation, they were empty!!! uf!! 3) the hot tubs, need to fit the description and be hot 4) and the pathways can be a little less rocky!! If ur disabled, forget about this place!

Overall, we did get a great value for the resort and enjoyed ourselves!!!
