Have been going to Cancun for several years, but 2007 was the first year at the Royal Mayan. I was not sure how I would feel about it after spending several vacations at VCI and feeling so at home there, but I loved the Mayan! The staff was wonderful, the villa was superb and the overall experience was the stuff of which fond memories are made. With the adjacent two Royal Resorts, the restaurant choices are varied and each is wonderful. It is hard to choose whether one wants to relax on a beautiful balcony with pool and ocean views or spend time in the pool or sea. There is no bad choice at the Royal Mayan. Everything about it is five star and am looking forward to another two weeks there this year. A true "home away from home" atmosphere with abundant choices for relaxation or night life activities all around you.

Friends offered us a week at this resort and after reading blogs on this site, we decided to go. We were not disappointed! Most especially the staff are very dedicated which goes a long way when vacationing. There was no sense of being rushed in any way, the restaurants are not four star but extremely comfortable. If you want to just sit back, relax, and soak in some sun, we would definitely recommend this place!

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 the beach was almost non existant but this is no fault of the resort and we were perfectly happy to sit poolside instead. All in all a great holiday and a lovely resort.

went saturday to saturday during thanksgiving week.hotel room very clean but need updating. pools are so-so. people are friendly and helpful.on 3 different occasions though throughout mexico we asked several people the same question on directions and received several different answers.the food was good and very reasonable. we ate several meals right there at our resort.82 all week and cloudy. the beaches were the biggest disappointment. red flagged, red flagged. its going to take several years to get the beaches back to normal.that has nothing to do with the hotel though. our family enjoyed the mayan and cancun and would go back again.
