My family of 4 will be staying at The Royal Cancun for the 1st time in early November. I have the option to go with the AI for $79 for adults and $49 for the kids (kids are 11 & 10). The property has recently offered the AI. I've read countless posts regarding the food for the Royal Cancun and for the most part it's been positive. I've also read the area around the Royal Cancun is littered with multiple bars and restaurants. I'm leaning toward not doing the AI. We plan on spending a day at Isla Mujeres and a good portion of another day at Selvatica. If it was just my wife and I, I'd most likely do the AI (I do like my drinking?) :-) They'd probably lose money on me!!
Insight to this would be greatly appreciated. Also, I do plan on picking up groceries and some liquor. What's the closest supermarket to the Royal Cancun? Cost to get there and back? Also, recommendations for good restaurants close to the RC would also be great. We are so looking forward to our 1st trip the Cancun. And again, thanks for any feedback.
