Had a lovely time at this resort. I saw posts complaining about the lack of chairs at the beach and pool, but there were more than enough in both spots during our stay. It was not difficult to make reservations at the restaurants with our villa’s concierge, and all meals we had were great. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I will say the AC was a little weak in a couple of the bars and restaurants but we had no problem with it in our room. We enjoyed a tequila tasting, karaoke, salsa dancers and a jazz band as entertainment. The big advantage here is that it’s adults-only, so the property was clean and quiet. It was the perfect way to spend a relaxing vacation.

We just got back from a 7 day trip here. We didn’t do any excursions so all of our time was spent on the resort. Everything was well kept and overall the resort is older but amazing. The service at the bars were top notch. The activities during the day were good but honestly could’ve been more options. The night life was dead for an adults only location. The food was very good but the A/C was not the greatest, but also tolerable. Our concierge David was maybe the worst experience as he was never around and when he was he wasn’t very friendly. But I would definitely recommend this resort if you are looking for a relaxing vacation.

I personally have stayed at many All Inclusive resorts in Riviera Maya, but there is something so special about Royal Hideaway that keeps us coming back. This resort is very laid back, which is what we prefer personally. The service and people there are absolutely wonderful and make you feel so welcomed. The food is very good, rooms are clean, and they do a fantastic job keeping the beach clean. We have been repeat customers and will stay repeat customers.

My husband and I stayed here for our second wedding anniversary. The hotel overall is very nice. I will 100% say that the hotel is very very clean and you can see workers being very attentive. Most of our questions were answered very quickly and nicely!
The hotel is outdated (made in 1998) which makes the rooms and some common areas feel not fresh. Remembering that the hotel is in the Caribbean, of course humidity and that “sticky feeling” is part of the location! It would have been nice to go to an area with icy cold AC, but that is not the reality of the location. To be clear, there is AC in the rooms, but it’s more like a “swamp cooler” feel vs central AC feel!
As for the food breakfast and lunch buffet were GREAT some of the days. Other days were just okay, i think it depends on who is cooking!! All the restaurants on property are amazing for dinner! Really great food with a great selection! Spices Restaurant was the only restaurant that had issues with AC!
For our reservation at the Asian restaurant, they placed us outside where my husband and I proceeded to get 15 bug bites each! The food was outstanding, but the outside atmosphere was Very, very hot and very very buggy!
As for activities, it’s a very quiet resort, which is nice and refreshing, but can be boring if that’s not what you’re looking for! We attended the sushi class, which was super fun and learned how Sushi from Fernando! Water aerobics looked really fun. I was too busy getting my tan on!
Overall, I think it was a great experience probably would not go back only because I want to explore different hotels in the area not for the lack of service or food!!

Sigh, it was unseasonably hot during the first week of May. We travel to Mexico every year during this time so we are a little familiar with the temperature. The property is beautiful. Very clean grounds, very clean and modern rooms, very clean pool and beach area too. The variety of restaurants have better than average food and friendly service. So for the issues- problems with the room AC. It was so hot, they couldn't keep up. Our room was the coolest according to other guests at 77F/24C. The evening entertainment area had no AC, some of the restaurants had no AC. This made it difficult to enjoy our meals. Again, it was unseasonably hot but this made us feel very run down and exhausted both day and night. Will we come back, I'd like to think so because it was really a nice place. For us, it takes a lot to duplicate a resort when there are so many to explore.
