We booked one week at the Royal Mayan through Interval International. We were not disappointed in the least!! The service was exceptional all around. The entire resort was impeccably clean. We always saw people cleaning, landscaping etc. We dined at La Palapa restaurant several times and found it reasonably priced and the food was great. It was too bad that... more

Food: We ate several meals at the Royals and everything was delicious. Other than the yummy... more

An older facility, out of the way (which can be good in some ways). After staying in the Melia and Intercontinental this place was clearly not up to those standards. The restaurant by the pool was OK though. The beach is of course very excellent. I have no complaints about the rooms other than they were very early 80s decor.... more

We arrived at the Royal Mayan via exchange on September 15, 2007 and departed on the 22d. The first thing that hits you is the cleanliness of the streets and resort. Some people have a negative view of sanitation and cleanliness when it comes to Mexico or third world countries as a whole. Cancun rivals any American city when it... more

Just returned on Sept 1 from a great stay at the Royal Mayan and can't say enough about the place. We were considering canceling because of Dean but after reading the ongoing blogs here (thanks guys!!) we decided to go. Sure glad we stayed with our plans. The place was about half full so there was plenty of room around... more

We just returned this weekend from the Royal Mayan. We went knowing full well that hurricane Dean was bearing down on the south of Mexico/Belize area. We knew the Royal Resorts had weathered Wilma and Emily very well and were quite sure they would be fine during Dean. We were right. First off, we had a gorgeous penthouse villa with... more

I purchased a resale and 8/06 was my first stay there after years staying at Royal's Vacation Club International. Since I loved VCI, I was apprehensive about the change but loved the Mayan! The restaurants are great--the concierge was only so-so but then I have been going for so many years that may not be fair--bar is great--I'm leaving to... more

We traded in our timeshare weeks thru Interval International for 2 villas at the Royal Mayan. We have 7 in our group. 5 kids (19,18,15,13,10) & 40something parents! We arranged private transportation from the airport thru Thomas Moore (at the resort). It was the best $95 roundtrip ever spent. We came out of the airport to a nice gentleman holding... more
