First Time In Mexico - Love Royalton
Rooms are awesome, entertainment is spot on and food is amazing. Was skeptical with some of the negative reviews, we will be back next year! I will book Diamond Club for the premium alcohol options. The staff are amazing, room service was delivered hot and fresh. Royalton is new favourite resort!

Butler service - Gina and Oscar
We just returned from our fourth stay at the Royalton Riviera Cancun Resort, and it was an unforgettable experience! This time, we had the pleasure of enjoying the resort’s butler service, and we’re so glad we did. A huge thank you to our incredible butlers, Gina and Oscar, who went above and beyond to make our stay absolutely perfect. From the moment we arrived, they took care of every detail, making sure we had everything we needed and more. We were there to celebrate a family member's retirement, and Gina and Oscar truly made it special. They decorated our room with festive banners and balloons, adding a personal touch that meant the world to us. They kept our mini-fridge stocked, organized our dinner reservations, and even booked our pickleball courts every morning. Their thoughtful and attentive service made all the difference in our stay. We cannot recommend the butler service enough! If you have the option, do yourself a favor and request Gina and Oscar—they are absolutely amazing and will make your stay even more memorable!

Excellent time with family!
We just returned from a one week stay at the Royalton Riviera Cancun. Do not let the bad reviews scare you. We booked 2 presidential 1 bedroom suites (one for my husband and 2 babies, 19 months old and 3 months old and the other for my parents and sister). We requested adjoining rooms by emailing the resort ahead of time but ended up in separate buildings. Buildings 7, 8 and 9 are closest to the kids pool area. We were in Building 3 on the Diamond side, which is furthest away from the kids pool but there is a toddler friendly pool on the Diamond side, it was waist deep on our 19 month old. Plus the drinks were much better on the Diamond side. The kids pool is huge and so fun, it was the perfect depth for our 19 month old to run around. The beach is beautiful with soft white sand. The umbrellas are limited so bring hats and sunscreen. We talked to guest services and reserved a cabana for two days. It was perfect for providing shade and some privacy for our 3 month old. The towels on the sun beds at 7am is a thing, we ended up just moving towels off the chairs when hours went by and no one showed up. Service was excellent everywhere. We tipped well because everyone was so friendly, smiling and giving high-fives to the kids. We ate at the Mexican, TexMex, Italian and Steakhouse, all were fine. The Steakhouse and Mexican are also open for breakfast (the Mexican was the best as you can order from a menu). The buffet has something for everyone. The reservation system on the app is tricky but our dinners were so early (5:30-6:00pm because of the kids) it was easier to book out of the peak times. We ordered room service, robes, two cribs, an extra bed (for my sister, the pullouts are pretty old and in rough shape). Everything was delivered timely. Even our housekeeper changed her schedule so that she started to come earlier when she knew we brought the kids back to the room in the afternoon for their nap. We've traveled extensively and know that your trip is what you make of it. Focus on the negatives and you'll have a negative experience. We were too busy jumping in the ocean waves and going down the kiddie slides and having mimosas delivered to us by the pool to pay much attention to chipped paint. No place is perfect but go in with an open mind and enjoy your vacation!

Great variety
Food was tasty, staff was wonderful and hard working. Our room over looked the pool( loud at night) but you could see part of the shows from the balcony. Lots of live music. Great aqua fit. Resort is big but lots of variety. Spa is expensive but beautiful, the hydrotherapy was the best ever. Did the catamaran (9hrs) snorkelling and trip to Isle Mujeres (beautiful beaches). Had to pay extra for sunscreen (only allowed certain ones $$$ and golf cart if you wanted to go around the island $. Albatross was the company booked it with Sunwing. Our kids did the the trip for horseback, Atv, zip lining and grato and loved it. One pool faces the ocean And entertainment pool both very big. Other pools around resort. Staff really appreciated the tips and speaking some Spanish. Was apprehensive with prior negative reviews but we all really enjoyed ourselves and have nothing but good things to say about this place
