I had previously stayed at Royalton Cancun and was very pleased with everyone and everything, so it was easy to say yes to this resort for our family trip. The beach was excellent, nice sloping sand to nice calm waters and the kids splash pad was exceptional. Now for the cons… the rooms are small more like a hotel vs resort.

I had previously stayed at Royalton Cancun and was very pleased with everyone and everything, so it was easy to say yes to this resort for our family trip. The beach was excellent, nice sloping sand to nice calm waters and the kids splash pad was exceptional. Now for the cons… the rooms are small more like a hotel vs resort. There were 3 adults and a toddler and they gave us a king, pull out sofa bed and a crib. Our travel agent called the day before to confirm room availability. Took several days and I’m sure lots of phone calls to get this fixed. Everyone that we had contact with seemed unhappy, not the usual happy, party attitude that I’m used to. One night we waited over 1 1/2 hours for our dinner only to have to take toddler back to room because he was done waiting. Food was wrapped and delivered to room, but that is just poor service. No excuses were given. I will not be coming back to this resort or probably any from this company. Read less

Travelers beware the Royalton is not what it sells itself to be. My husband and our two adult children decided to roll the dice on this resort even after reading the negative reviews. We booked two rooms requesting a king bed and two queen beds. Sure enough upon check in we were told they selected two king rooms for our stay. I explained I had confirmation for the two queen beds. I even called the resort to make sure the room was available (instead of paying the up charge to book online). The front desk attendant, Gabriella, did not care and explained nothing is guaranteed. She called over Monica, the manager, who just said, “We are so sorry” which was apparently all she could say. It was quite odd. We were then ignored while they called William, who organizes the rooms in advance so you cannot change it upon check in. He said this happens all the time. My sassy self came into play and I explained that if that is the case someone should be fired. He offered a cot.. I would not let the vacation get ruined so we decided that we were going to figure it out and chat over dinner at the steakhouse. Well, the steakhouse was full and you needed a reservation. We then ventured to the Caribbean place and then the Italian restaurant…no availability. I did not realize that the restaurant sizes are as small as shown in the photos. They only take a few people at a time and we never saw a restaurant filled to capacity. When we finally got into the steak house (day 3) it hurt my heart to see fellow travelers turned away as I looked at all the open tables around us. We still had a plan, as it was only day 1, and we would not give up…we would order room service and share a bottle of wine on the balcony. Nope, you cannot have bottles of wine to bring back to your room…unless you buy them. Head twitch. There is a mini fridge in the room but you only get beer, soda and water. Next day at the beach. The beach bar workers are grumpy but I think it is because they are overwhelmed with the day pass people who show up. Wydesha is running around trying to take care of everyone but she is the only one. There were ALOT of day pass families so seating was limited at the beach and around the pool. So, we rented a pool cabana which was fabulous! Kareem was our first attendant and he was on it with the service he checked on us all day (lunch is served in the cabana and there is a T.V.). We were so thrilled so we rented again and found that JQuan would rather go on lunch break for three hours and we rarely saw him. The saving grace of our vacation was when we met Vanessa. Vanessa works in the concierge department. She went above and beyond to assist us during our stay. She is the reason we were able to get into any restaurant and obtain the cabanas. We would not go back. Read less

Jameel is a great fitness instructor- he was warm and welcoming in the gym and gave us a really hard bootcamp session! He definitely has an abundance of knowledge within the fitness industry and is a credit to the gym team. Thank you!
