Just returned from Royal Hideaway. Before we book the resort, reading all advertizement and other reviews, resort was described as paradise. In reality only great about resort are rooms, room service. Now the bad: 1st : sand on the beach is never cleaned, my wife hurt herself on sharp object. Traffic on the beach is horrible, people are passing by... More

Stayed at Royal Playcar during T-giving for 4 nights. very nice resort and food was better then expected for a All Inclusive. The property felt seclusive, despite being on PDC, which is a rat race. Rooms was very large and comfortable and beach and pool were top notch..... More

Despite all the elegance, the local fish-, group shrimp, red snapper and others were the worst I've ever tasted in going to the Cancun area... More
