Just a great match for a short stint in Playa del Carmen with definitely value for money. The kids club staff, especially Mimi and Selene, made my daughters' experience unforgettable. Consider being flexible with meal reservations to fully enjoy the dining options.

Perfect Family Vacation Spot

The staff here is very nice. They treated us like family, and our kids loved the activities at the beach. We spent hours at the beachfront villa and ordered every meal off the menu, especially the shrimp tacos, which were to die for!

It wasn’t cheap by any means, but the experience made it worth it.

easy access to beaches and vibrant parks nearby

during my stay, I loved strolling through the charming spaces of Xca-Ha Park, which is just a short drive away, and making my way to Quinta Avenida to enjoy the lively atmosphere and local shops, both perfect for walking and discovering delightful landmarks.

We had a fantastic time enjoying the beachfront room and the lovely hot tubs, which our kids just adored. The beach access was perfect for relaxation, and the pools were great for unwinding after busy days. The only downside was that we found the check-in process to be a bit slow, but it didn’t ruin our fun! 🌊

Request for room near the main pool for easier access to activities, especially with kids. It made our stay much more convenient.

The Royal Haciendas Resort & Spa features beautifully maintained gardens and accessible facilities that made it easy for me to navigate the grounds, while enjoying the stunning views of the beach and sea from various locations around the resort.

More evening entertainment options would enhance the stay.
