My wife and I booked Royal Hideaway Playacar via Costco as it was on the cheaper end for adults-only all-inclusive resorts, and we agree it was worth every dollar. In summary, everything met if not exceeded our expectations, especially being a more affordable resort. Food is generally good, often even fantastic. The rooms are large, comfortable (AC worked well), noise-insulated, well kept by daily housekeeping, and in good, accessible locations. The resort itself is very tidy with friendly workers all around constantly cleaning, fixing, and offering assistance and services, with a great overall layout and architecture. Pool varieties offer different types of experiences whether for the rowdier or more relaxed vacationers. The beach is unmistakably beautiful and conveniently at the base of the resort with more than enough chairs and shade if needed. It’s a fun but more so relaxing crowd. We will more than likely return to this resort soon, possibly regularly.

My wife and I stayed here last month for 8 nights. We will definitely be back. The price was very reasonable and some reviews were not great so we arrived expecting something average. I'm pretty high maintenance but we were pleasantly surprised! The staff and service was amazing. The grounds were beautiful (and constantly being groomed). The food was better than expected and plentiful. The drinks were also better than expected. I am impressed that there is a decent selection of nicer liquors included in the complimentary food and beverage. Our room was spacious and very nice. The view from our room was disappointing but we didn't pay for the grand view and we spent most of our time out by the pool and beach anyway. The view from the pool was outstanding. The Wifi worked well at the pool so we worked out there on days that we needed to get some work done. We hardly left the property during our time there. Everything we needed to relax and enjoy was right there. We're already looking at the calendar for when we might be back.

It was a great experience overall; my husband and I were greeted with a bottle of sparkling wine and some coconut bites. The room wasn’t thoroughly clean when we got there (some purple shampoo in the shower and minor permanent stains in the sheets), but we are not picky, so we let it go. What I really like was that each “villa” had its own concierge: ours was Sucel, a lovely lady who helped us, heard our feedback, and made us feel “taken care of”. Be mindful that the resort is very dated. It’s like “luxury European”. The music choice for the common areas and some restaurants was definitely made for a more senior audience. The beach chairs and beach front view were simply AMAZING: you get a god given view a few steps away from your room; clean sand every morning (well, at least that’s what I’ve noticed every morning), clean chairs, and all chairs have a shade umbrella for extra protection —which my husband appreciated. I would say that the beach service wasn’t that great though: they had one server for all the guests. That wasn’t enough to attend to everyone promptly, I’d say. The pool was ok, but no one told us you have to book the lounge chairs ahead of time. So if you want to chill by the pool, make sure to ask your concierge about it. The restaurants are not 5 stars FOR SURE. Our tops were the Italian restaurant and the one above the breakfast buffet (don’t recall the name. Oddly enough, the Mexican was the worst, followed by the Ventanas (food was not good, and the restaurant has a very weird vibe).

The location of the resort was amazing, pool and beach areas were beautiful. Staff was very friendly and fun, plus they made great drinks. Upon arrival they tried to tell me we didn’t book 2 people per room and wanted to double charge, however, I clearly booked it via booking.com with a confirmation email specifically stating 2 people per 2 rooms totaling 4. We get to our room and the phone and fridge don’t work - talked to concierge and he came up confirmed and stated he would send someone to help. No help. We’re very easy going people so we never cared enough to continue to reach out. You’re required to have reservations for every dinner you’d like to go to, however, when we arrived and started to make reservations we noticed nothing was available. We made some and were able to get some late reservations- went to some and were told the guys couldn’t wear shorts. They had dress shirts on and closed toed shoes. Again, we then understood rules but wish we were told prior. All this to say they have insane rules for not having good quality food, quick response to room issues and wanting to double charge. Beautiful grounds but will never come back to a low quality “5 star resort”.

It’s an amazing hotel! Wonderful service, spacious rooms, very delicious food… and some people who makes it more special every day. We tried all 5 restaurants and came twice to Grill, not only for one for the best steak and very tasty tacos with oxtail, but also for a very special service of Carlos😊. Bars, cool exercises in a pool (thank you Alexa) plenty of games for a rainy weather… best All Inclusive we ever stayed. Thank you for a wonderful week!
