What a fabulous property!! We were concerned about an "all inclusive" vacation. The property is spectacular, though the beach is not as swimmable as we'd like. The service was impeccable, the people were terrific, and the food was above average. The ocean view (not oceanfront) rooms were beautiful and spacious. The alcohol was okay, though not as great as I... more

This is an awesome hotel, and by far, the cleanest hotel we have ever stayed at. (My husband and I went to Sandals in Whitehouse Jamaica last year and felt that this hotel was by far better! ) First of all- use the on-line check-in they offer. We arrived around 2:00 PM and we were escorted to our room immediately,... more

This hotel is beautiful, the food is good and the rooms are extremely clean. The location is perfect, you can either walk or take a short taxi ride just about any where you would like. This hotel is perfect for a honeymoon or a romantic getaway. The staff is very nice and courteous. Been to Playa del Carmen on 3... more

The royal was an amzing place to stay at especially as newlyweds. We came here for our honeymoon and we expected less. It was very good, satifsfying and definitly well worth every penny. We had a great time with the animators,especially with Carlos and Rosario. One piece of advice I would love to give is enjoy every minute once it... more

Short and sweet Having stayed at most of the hotels in the city surrounding area, this is the only place you should stay if you want to be in Playa Del Carmen. Again, this is if you want to be IN the city, there are plenty of beautiful beaches/hotels in the surrounding area that are worth taking a look at... more

We are just home from our honeymonn, which started off with two weeks in The Royal in Playa del Carmen. As with all of the other reviewers we had an excellent time, great food, great service etc. BUT there is one thing I want to mention that I have not seen anywhere in the previous reviews, The Real Club. The... more

My husband and I had the distinct pleasure of staying at The Royal during the first week in July. We are active 40-45 year olds who were looking for a place to go while our teenage daughter was in Europe for three weeks, so Adults Only was pretty high on our list of amenities when we carefully researched where to... more

My wife and I visited the RPDC for our 26th anniversary (Jun '08) and had a very nice time. The resort was clean and staff were attentive. Rooms are a nice size and the beds are the best we have had in Mexico. The food is very good, we enjoyed Marie Maria and ventured over to the Real (sister hotel... more

Overall, we loved this place: lively, close to the action, attractive and FANTASTIC food (quality over quantity). Here's what to know in advance, though: 1) If you book through the hotel website, make sure you get the name of the transport company picking you up. They use a separate travel company to pick you up but we were looking for... more
