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.

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

My wife and I stayed at the Royal July 7th-14th for our Honeymoon and had an exceptional time. I booked through a travel agent and originally upgraded to an "ocean view" junior suite. While you could technically see the ocean, it wasn't exactly the view I had imagined, so I asked to be upgraded to a different room. We paid... more

I will keep my review short and sweet as everyone here has pretty much summed it up. We (it was a group of 50) loved everything about it...the beds, beach, service, & food(yum on the asian). I wouldn't change a thing. We will be back in 09. more
