My two friends and I spent five fabulous days at the Royal Hotel in Playa del Carmen. The hotel is aptly named as we felt like royalty! This was an all inclusive resort and we could not have asked for more. Our room was immaculately clean with all white bedding. The maid did an excellent job each day and left... more

We just got back from our Honeymoon at the Royal in Playa Del Carmen and it was fabulous. The food was incredible at ALL the restaurants and the service was great. We upgraded our room to beach front -walk out and it wasn't really worth it. We were ground floor facing the ocean, but with the greenery and walkway in... more

The Royal is as good as it gets. We first stayed at the Royal April 2006. We thought we had died and gone to heaven. Rooms: Amazing. big, gorgeous, very classy Pool: Plenty of chairs, huge and never too crowded. Water temperature always just right. Especially loved the in water chairs. Beach: White soft sand and calm turquoise blue water,... more

Quite disappointed with the Royal. Maybe our expectations were too high, but was expecting much much more. Stayed Aug 28-30/08 after transferring as an "upgrade" from their sister hotel Gran Caribe Real in Cancun, which was a much better stay. Pros: -Beautiful hotel property with nicely kept garden areas -Conveniently located a few minutes from 5th Avenue -Nice, big beds... more

My husband and I just returned from our FIRST vacation to Mexico on 08/28/08. We stayed at The Royal Playa del Carmen for five days. It was FABULOUS. We stayed in a Royal Jr. Suite Ocean View. I was able to check in online 48 hours prior to our arrival. When we got to the airport in Cancun, our transportation... more

Great experience! The staff was very courteous. The food at each restaurant was delicious and copious. They set the standard for the "All Inclusive" hotel. How can you go wrong with a shot bar in your room? Close to downtown Playa, everything in walking distance. Also in reasonable distance for excursions. more

I read TA everyday for 6 months before we left - Thank you for everyone's help!!! My fiance (39) and I (30) stayed at the RPDC Aug 15th - 20th. This was our first time to the hotel and to the area and we could not have picked a more perfect hotel and location. I will start a the beginning.... more

Thanks to Trip Advisor contributors who helped us select the Royal - the reviews were very true to what we experienced! * Service - incredible! Staff is super friendly. Entertainment staff genuine and fun. If you want to hang out, they are there, but if you just want to relax, they will leave you alone *Grounds - well maintained, beautiful,... more

My wife and I have been to the Cancun/Playa del Carmen many times and have never stayed at the same hotel twice, until now. We stayed by chance at The Royal in Playa del Carmen in January, 2008 and just returned (August 8th) from a week of rest and relaxation at; you guessed it, The Royal in Playa del Carmen.... more
