Recently, I had the absolute pleasure of staying at the Royalton Riviera Cancun Resort and Spa for the Family Travel Forum. I was absolutely blown away by this resort. From the proximity to the airport to the stellar service, this is a location that I will be returning to sooner rather than later.
Experience an All-In Luxury vacation in Mexico’s Caribbean paradise of Riviera Cancun, with fabulous world-class cuisine, luxurious accommodations, and endless entertainment. The Royalton Riviera Cancun sits in a convenient location, close to great fashion, shopping, and nightlife of Cancun, and only 15 minutes from the airport.
It is true, you land and you are there! With just a short flight from Chicago and a quick whisk through Cancun airport, I was on the beach in no-time making the Royalton Riviera Cancun an ideal spot for long weekends and families with children.
[maxbutton id=”8″ ]Immediately upon entering, I knew I was going to truly enjoy this property. I love the open-air feel of it and the modern contemporary decor made me feel right at home.
1183 luxurious guest rooms and suites provide stylish decor and beautiful views of the gardens or the ocean. Relax in Dreambeds exclusively designed for Royalton Resorts, and enjoy 24-hour room service and complimentary WiFi. Rooms feature a private balcony or terrace, rain shower, and Jacuzzi.
To put it simple, this resort is not small..in fact it is HUGE! The layout was done very well but in some cases you can find yourself walking a good 8-minutes to your room. I was lucky enough to have a room close to the lobby, but I did find that I heard noises as all of the entertainment was located off of the lobby. This did not interrupt my sleep because I sleep with a white noise machine. Your Guru Travel Professional can make room requests that best fit your needs.
Activities abound each day, with twelve pools and a children’s splash park, in addition to non-motorized water sports. Stay in shape at the fitness center, or unwind at The Royal Spa with a hydrotherapy circuit and a full range of massages, facials, and beauty treatments. The casino on property comes to life at night, with classic table games such as Blackjack and Roulette, and 50 slot machines. Open from 6:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m., the casino is exclusively available for resort guests over 18.
[maxbutton id=”8″ ]I was SO impressed with the activities that were going on day and night! There was always something to see and do! The part I loved was the way the main pool was situated with the sports bar, restaurants, disco and various bars. If traveling in a group, the layout makes it very easy to please a crowd and not be too far from one another. Very well done, Royalton!
A resort within the resort, the Hideaway at Royalton Riviera Cancun offers guests an exclusive, adults only experience. Additionally, each room in this section includes amenities such as aromatherapy, robes and slippers, and upgraded room service. Guests also receive personalized beach and pool area extras, personalized check-in, weekly Sky champagne parties, and many other luxury extras.
I had the pleasure of being able to take advantage of The Hideaway and let me tell you, if you are on an adults only vacation, make sure your Guru Travel Professional has you booked in the Hideaway. We have also found that we are booking this section of the resort for multi-generational families. This is a great place for grandma and grandpa to enjoy some quiet. I had the very best cevich in the WORLD in the Hideaway.
Treat your palate to a variety of eclectic cuisines from ten restaurants with local and international menus served buffet-style or a la carte. Enjoy a mid-afternoon coffee and pastry at the cafe, and for dinner, choose from Japanese Teppanyaki and Sushi, authentic Italian, a steak house, and more. 16 themed bars are available where you can grab a signature cocktail and mingle with other guests.
The food is something I am going to give major props to. I was stunned at the quality of the buffet, fresh food with ample options and I mean ample. The restaurants were wonderful and the food quality was stellar.
Drinks are a huge draw as well, the Mojitos did not disappoint. I was thrilled with the attentiveness of the pool waitstaff as I enjoyed a great book by the pool. My drink was never ever empty.
Whether you are looking for an adults only vacation or a family vacation, The Royalton Riviera Cancun is at the top of my list of recommendations for my clients traveling to Riviera Maya.
