5 out of 5
Beautiful property in a nice area on the beach (Playacar). Resort and rooms were gorgeous, clean and very well kept, restaurant food was DELICIOUS, and service was always friendly. Definitely easy to spend a week here and not want to leave! RECOMMENDATIONS: - Book your shuttle ahead of your arrival - Google the resort and make dinner reservations via email in advance of your arrival (week before is OK) - Rent a catamaran or kayak (they have some right on the beach by the resort, it's free to rent but you have to pay if you need lessons) - Take a stroll outside the resort along playacar blvd or 5th avenue (very safe and beautiful area with shopping and restaurants) - Go snorkeling or scuba diving via the on-site tour service - TIP YOUR SERVERS! They work for a living. $1-2 per drink and $5-10 per meal is fine, they will take care of you. Trust me on this. We were worried by a few of the negative reviews before arriving, and now see they must have been left by people who 1. Don't know how to tip, or 2. are entitled, finicky uptights who are rude to wait and service staff (we saw a few people like this...as a result they often had drink orders take a loooong time). Be courteous, greet everyone kindly, slip your server a tip here and there, and I promise you will have a great time.

Close to beach

There was a letter in our room telling us the electricity would be out over night. We were not informed at check in. The electricity was out a lot longer than stated in the letter, the water was also off for an unknown reason. Our towels were replaced once, I was told numerous times in 2 days that they bring them to my room, I finally hunted some down on my own. You have to have reservations at every restaurant in the resort for an evening meal, we weren’t informed about this rule. Had to plead for a table the first night we were there. The staff wasn’t good about sharing information.

Incredible hotel on the beach with great service

Only great things to say about this hotel, their staff, and the location. 6-8 different restaurants to choose from with great food. Staff are amazing. Even get food and drink service all day long on the beach. Already planning our next trip back.

staff was wonderful.

Pros: the villas and pathways throughout the property. No rooms higher than 3 stories
Cons: Air conditioning and mini bar was always warm. Concierge was gone before 5.
Location: great for shopping. Right across the street.
Staff was wonderful. Air conditioning and refrigeration need to be improved. Beer and water always warm. Need some more english speaking channels on TV. Beach was beautiful. Food OK. Need more selections.

Honeymoon

Pros: Service
Cons: More party atmosphere til later in the evening. More music in the pool area during the day.
Location: Plenty snorkeling in Puerto Morelos, cenotes and nightlife in town.
Impeccable. I've read other people's reviews in reference to dining reservations being difficult. I didn't see the difficulty all our accommodation were meat.

Vacation in Paradise!!!

Pros: Everything!
Cons: Nothing , never change a winning team. Just hold your fantastic staff and keep the place as it is and we will be back.
If you are looking for a getaway to relax, be close to the beach, have awesome culinary experience and sleep very comfortable this is the place to be. It was our first time in mexico and our first time at this hotel...and we will definitely come back! If you read a bad review please think about what you want from your vacation and keep in mind that people want different things and have different expectations...and sometimes leaving a bit of tip will get you appreciated more. Our expectations were exceeded and we have spent 6 wonderful nights in paradise.

perfect

Pros: great beach, beautiful white sand, close to town, you can actually walk there. The grounds are clean and well kept.
Cons: don't have any complaints
Location: town is close and there is a strip mall right across street
This hotel and staff was a perfect getaway. The staff work hard to make your stay memorable. I can't remember all the people that where so helpful, some where Alma, Edith, Christian, Cesar, John but really everyone was great. The restaurants where great, and the service was professional and friendly. I've never had a bad experience at any of the Mexican inclusive hotels.

Wow, wow, wow, wow...WOW !

Pros: Food, Service, Elegance, Natural Beauty, Accessibility to fun, Tranquility, and just top shelf experience overall.
Cons: I missed that there was daily tea service (but saw others enjoying it) and found out later. Perhaps make sure it's well known as it's very cool.
Location: Bars and shows on-site, but you can also have a peaceful walk down the beach (about 1 mile) to enter downtown Playa del Carmen, instead of a taxi.
I have stayed in Playa del Carmen many times. Usually near the downtown area and have done multiple all inclusives and did the Grand Hyatt once. The Royal Hideaway Playacar is definitely a place to relax but it offers the best combination of mind-blowing hotel experience I have found in my life (well over 3,000 hotel nights). First off, it's elegant, pristine, and beautiful. It's big enough to have options but not too big that it's overwhelming. It is so serene and beautiful to walk through with artistically placed pools and hot tubs woven into the natural scenery. The beach area is fabulous and the pool deck is amazing as well. So why is this so special? Well, first off (and you'll hear this a lot on these reviews I am sure)...the food, the food, the food. I have never had such high quality food - consistently - from a hotel. I mean every single meal was amazing and the waitstaff sets an amazingly high bar for service. The service team walks around the pool and beach area continuously and if you don't want a drink or food, they offer to clean your sunglasses (um...yep). The rooms are really nice and just all around clean, beautiful, and solid. The concierge assigned to our villa was absolutely fabulous and helped through some personal requests (outside of a normal hotel's role) and managed them on her own time for me. Just crazy good. I could go on and on here, but for a guy that is coming up on 4,000 nights in hotels, this place is my fave
