Restaurants require pants and closed shoes, they require reservations most of them. Has 3 buffets, serving american food. Pools were dirty and no maintenance personnel cleaning them. Every time you walk out of your room, theres personnel trying to get you to buy their memerbership (time share). It became annoying after the first 3 times. The small beqch area is about the only good thing about this place.

DO NOT BOOK WITH EXPEDIA, hotel stay was lovely, but we had to pay almost double because Expedia did not send the right information to the hotel. I am extremely disappointment with the service my family and I recently experienced while using Expedia. We will no longer be using the service ourselves, nor will we recommend it to anyone we know. Our frustration stems from the fact that we booked our vacation through the app and properly selected the ages of our children during the booking process. Despite this, we were still required to pay for our children at the hotel. We felt completely trapped in this situation, as we had to pay extra for a vacation that was already very costly. While we understand that the hotel was not at fault—since they received incorrect information from Expedia—it did not make the situation any less stressful. What added to our frustration was that Expedia did not help us resolving this issue. Instead of offering credit for the extra costs, Expedia's response was to try to shift the burden onto the hotel. This lack of support left us feeling unsupported and taken advantage of. While we had a lovely stay at the hotel, we are deeply disappointed with how Expedia handled this issue, and unfortunately, this will be the last time we use Expedia for any travel arrangements after using it for years. We will also be advising our family and friends to avoid using this service moving forward.

My husband and I stayed with our twins 11 year olds last week for one week. We stayed in building 22. The check in process was incredibly stressful and took forever. Make sure you double and triple check your entries in Expedia because ours were incorrect and it ended up costing us $1400 more when we got to the resort. All of the other staff members that we encountered were friendly and you could tell they worked very hard and enjoyed their jobs. Our room was cleaned appropriately every day and on the day I wasn't feeling well the maids brought me a case of water and the restaurant made sure I had something to eat (even though that's something they don't do unless you're in Royal). The grounds were beautiful and all of the animals absolutely enchanting. The number of pools was very nice and the swim up bar a double bonus although the drunk adults might turn you off. People from every age range and nationality were there during our trip and we enjoyed meeting new friends from all over the world. Everyone we met was friendly and we felt safe the entire time. This is our first time to Mexico with kids and I felt safe enough that they could walk alone from place to place. We went to Xcaret for 4 days which was exhausting but the kids loved it. Loved the proximity but be prepared to walk 15k steps a day because it is enormous. Food needs upgrade but we never had a "bad" meal. Great wait staff. Ok drinks. You get what you pay for. Would like full beach but lagoon was great for kids

Alright. Room flooded from above one night. So that was a sleepless night. Nothing offered just an oops sorry. We were disappointed at the royal level experience. Lot of obnoxious rowdy people who clearly want to be seen and heard and think their vacation is more important than everyone else’s.

We stayed here 3 times. This used to be an expensive high quality resort, though not a luxury one. Quality of everything has decreased: on arrival shower head in bathroom did not stay in place, dmall damages are here and there across property, sea pool area was cleaned inconsistently, an employee entered our room without knocking. A Mexican MLM company had their retreat, cusing excited screaming in shared areas. So, a death of quality by thousand small cuts.

We brought our 3 year old and this resort was great for her. Since the beach area is a lagoon, she loved to wade around in the water on the soft sand without worrying about waves crashing. The proximity to Xcarte was great too, just a short walk, and our daughter loved all the animals (Coati,Capybara, Flamingos, Monkeys, Macaw). We didn't really care for the food, and have had much better experience at other resorts in the area, but over all we had a great time! The checkin process was very bad. took way too long to check in with a large line of people waiting.

Best part was the Monkeys outside our room on the balcony the rest was average. Restaurant reservations- could only make them between 9-4 when we had excursions 7am-5pm. Wasn't given info on our added basic entrance to Xcaret so that was a waste of money we never go to use, on daily activities at the Hotel. room was ok small & shower wasn't cleaned well. food was ok in the buffet. Being bugged every time we would go to or from our room asking if we were new and when we came trying to sell stuff.
