So proud to love this Canadian resort!

We would go back in a minute! Perhaps it’s best to first introduce the reviewer. We are in our 70's, a Canadian couple who did wilderness canoeing and camping for years- and then sought out southern sun and surf in Cuba. For me, this was my first real trip to Mexico- and I insisted that we try TripCentral.ca for booking. What a joy- intelligent and consistent follow-up, a variety of travel packages to choose from, and extra help in every aspect of the trip. The Royalton chain, we were happy [... read more] to learn, is part of the Sunwing family company- and attempt to provide extra luxury at a worthwhile price. The Cancan Suites are barely a year old- but the expertise of staff and excellence of design make the place feel well established. We did not use the Diamond Club extras except for one day- but being without that upgrade does not reduce the courtesy and attentiveness of the staff. Our junior suite on the 12th floor overlooked the ocean, had a balcony for sunset drinks and wet scuba equipment, an enormous shower with two different spray systems, a separate toilet area, two sinks, and amazing comforts throughout. (The only extra I avoided was the weight scale under the counter) And the excellent food services made weight gain the last thing on my mind. The buffet area that serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner is exceptional. There's a kids' corner with their favourites, always a fresh juice and smoothie bar, a fish area with ceviche of all kinds, two hot grills with meats and fish or shellfish, a proudly Mexican section, and even a gluten-free area. The crepe-maker (who also handles gelatos and pastries) was my favourite, especially when my husband had them fill mine with chocolate and warm peanut butter. The specialty restaurants are all good as well- Agave the sophisticated Central American foods, the steak house, and the Jade Asian fusion place (no one tossing shrimps into the air and dousing them with soy sauce) Fruits, myriad salads- all fresh, scrupulously clean, and safe to eat. The hotel is a high-rise with 1 rooftop pool and deluxe bar area. To be honest- the available pool arras on the ground levels are a little small- as is the availability of beach chairs in high season. However, beach towels are big, warm, and plentiful- with no tickets or threats for returning. The beach itself is sugary, clean, and free of seaweed - no problems setting up a towel, building a sand pillow below it, and enjoying the sunshine. And I can vouch for the attentiveness of the lifeguards, Carelessly, this old lady got caught up in some deep ocean current and needed to be brought into shore by a smiling, calm lifeguard delivered by jet ski. I will be forever grateful- for the rescue and the kindness of the staff at every level. The bartenders were generous, the service double what I have experienced in personpower and courtesy-- and even the little shops in the lobby well stocked with attractive and well-priced items. My husband found the location ideal for his scuba trips- especially when the entry concierges made sure this taxi prices were understood and shared- and I found plenty to do with books and the free internet all over the property. I recommend a morning espresso from the coffee bar and a gelato on the patio every morning. I have a 75th birthday coming up. Already thinking of returning to celebrate with staff that became friends.

Overall good

Good stay overall. Staff was lovely, hotel is only a year old and already showing signs of wear. Beach is well taken care of and clean. Only downside is the hounding to by shares by staff - it’s ongoing and quite annoying!

Fantastic Resort

We stayed at the Royalton Suites in Cancun and really enjoyed the facility and services. We arrived very late and were able to order room service upon our arrival on our room television 24 hours a day. The resort also has 5 a la carte restaurants that were really good—especially the Mexican and Asian offerings. We dined at each at least three times and every dish we ordered were excellent. The evening entertainment offered a Queen, Micheal Jackson, and Bruno Mars show that we really enj [... read more]oyed. In fact, you did not have to leave the resort to fully enjoy your trip. The resort is safe and well protected yet only a bus ride from the town centre where we bought some souvenirs for friends and families. Overall, I would fully recommend this friends and anyone wanting to enjoy a relaxing time under the sun in this friendly and upscale resort. I will keep my eyes peeled for special pricing here>

Interesting experience

Really nice hotel and excellent location. There were inconsistencies with service quality - some staff was great some was terrible - and the quality of patrons themselves - beach chair cat fights, etc

Hotel

The hotel is very nice convenient the food was tasty the service was fair the room were excellent great service concerning rooms the hotel is clean modern good planning the terrace facing the ocean excellent

Royalton Suites

Luxury hotel that just opened this past year. Rooms are beautiful with views on either side of the ocean or the inter coastal. We enjoyed the service and the a la carte restaurants although the waiters were not always friendly. Food prep at the buffet might be a little suspect with the way the meat was sitting out beside the grill and the blender was rinsed between smoothies. Not sure what it was but so far 3 of our party have come down with the flu since returning a few days ago. Could be a bad [... read more] time of year for the flu too but everyone in our group of 10 kept saying the food was making them feel off while we were there. Not sure I’d go back for that reason. Also found the pool a little small for the number of guests. There are two diamond guest pools as well which make you feel second class cause you can’t use them. Although the roof pool was closed half the time for private parties and maintenance so the diamond guests weren’t too happy either. No one was even in the kiddie pool, they were all in the bar pool with their parents. Kind of a waste. We all agreed The resort lacked in pools. There’s always the beach but the undertow was strong so we had to be careful. Liked the area of the hotel and was able to walk in the mornings down the strip. We took a taxi to the fashion mall in the rain but a fellow told us his taxi driver put $10 grand on his credit card so we paid the $11 cash each way. Didn’t do any day trips just needed to relax and hate the cattle run with those things. Gym is good and lots of classes to try. We also used the spa which is first class. Had massages and pedicures which were excellent.

Amazing and beautiful resort!

I think the resort was all around amazing. The beach was gorgeous and very clean. The room was very nice and spacious and the view from the room was really good as well. The cleanliness throughout the resort was very nice. I loved the service everyone was super nice.

Loved our time at Royalton Cancun!

The beach and turquoise clear waters were amazing...beds and rooms were superb....the food was sooo good, the best all-inclusive food i have experienced at the Marche. There is no need to go to the a-la-cartes as you can get cooked to order eggs, stir fry, pasta, steaks, chicken, seafood, everything. The staff were so friendly and helpful. Our only concern/complaint is beach chairs - during american thanksgiving when the hotel was busy, we had to get up at 6am to claim a chair and spot on the [... read more] beach. Later in the week, at 7-7:30am. Not fun, but actually quite comical, all the guests up in the dark in their robes, setting their spots up, then back to bed until later. They need more chairs or a better system. All in all, a fabulous week and would go back in a heartbeat. Beautiful tasteful accommodations, great food, gorgeous sunsets and sunrises, beautiful beach for waking, aquafit classes were fun - all good.

Amazing Resort!

We just got back from a very restful week at the Royalton Suites Cancun. We were pleasantly surprised upon checking in, we received an upgrade to an ocean view room at no extra charge! Our room was modern and spacious along with a very large shower. Housekeeping was excellent and never missed a turndown. The food in the buffet was plentiful and lots of variety. We went to all the restaurants they were very good and we enjoyed the steakhouse more than once. We loved the cappuccino’s at the [... read more] coffee shop several times a day. The water, was crystal clear, and the beach, and sand was pristine. We will definitely be going back!

This not five stars hotel

This our first time in Cancun we loved Cancun nice city beautiful beach but we don’t think we will back to this hotel again: the reason 1) Our room had terrible smell, I cannot stop coughing and we were three people staying only one face towel, we almost every day call for face towels hand towels ...... 2)we paid $460 for tent for 5 days then they cut out the last day 3)also they try really hard push us to buy the time share it’s a nightmare, one lady manager has been really rude when w [... read more]e don’t want continued about 4) the restaurants food were not very good they have 8 restaurants we only like three of them the Asian food was worst one bad layout room they have big glass door to get in and table is front the door when each time people in or out the big cold drop wind blows to us they suppose has a Asian style screen in there and people walk through by sides. The food there was terrible the steak house waitress put a long face when we didn’t want a bottle wine..... we only like the Italy and Mexico restaurants The beach were very beautiful but water were too rough not good for swimming 🏊‍♀️ only one day was really nice we can swim there. And my arm hit by elevator door has big bruise after.

Royalton Cancun

We decided on the Royalton Cancun Suites because of the exceptional treatment we received at the Royalton Blue Waters Jamaica Diamond Club earlier in the year when we treated my family , kids and grandkids . The Royalton Cancun did not disappoint . We had a group of 10 , all Diamond Club and all had a great time. If there's a criticism , it would be the Cancun Royalton charges for the beach cabanas which from an upgraded perspective is totally unacceptable. At no time in Jamaica did we pay for [... read more] a beach cabana! The butler service in Cancun was very good and extremely helpful. The food was terrific and the variety would please most vacationers. They still have some communications glitches they need to work out, however, all in all a wonderful birthday vacation!

This Resort needs to iron out some serious kinks

The hotel is very nice. When we first arrived we saw our butler & then never seen him after that. No communication whatsoever. The food was just OK at all the restaurants except for the buffets. They were the best. At all the restaurants we ordered but most of the time never got all that we ordered. Lack of communication between our order taker, the waiter & the cook. Some of the bartenders need to learn how to make good drinks. Hopefully that particular resort will eventually get better because [... read more] the grounds & beach are stunning. The waiters outside work very hard & they had good entertainment at night both outside & in the hotel.

Some nice features but needs improvement

The hotel was fairly new and was very modern. Our room was clean and spacious. The roof top pools and cabanas were spectacular. The Diamond club pool area was nice and of course the beach was beautiful.The food quality was inconsistent as was the service. Some days great and other days poor. They need to improve their processes and hopefully that would improve their communication to their guests.Did not feel we received the Diamond Club service. You could also get 3 different answers to the same [... read more] question.

Modern beauty

Beautiful new hotel and grounds, amazing service and even able to call for a bottle of champagne to be delivered to the room with the all inclusive package. Your bracelet also functions as your room key

Great resort

The resort was amazing but the service needs some work. When you book Diamond Club you expect great service, You shouldn't have to ask concierge 3 or 4 times for something. This hotel is very good but not up to the standards of other Royalton Resorts.

Not 5-star

The public spaces in this resort, eg. the pool area, the beach area, all of the sitting areas and the restaurants, were always crowded. Service was inattentive, perhaps because it was so crowded. This resort is small and well-located and our room was very nice with a spectacular view of the ocean. The beach and ocean were beautiful. Despite being a new resort, some of the infrastructure was already in disrepair. The public washrooms were useless. The water flow to the toilets were so inadequate, [... read more] even toilet paper does not flush properly. There were two pools, one dedicated to "diamond club" and the other to the rest of the plebs. It was woefully small. It is not likely I will will be returning to this resort.

Great Resort

Nice new clean resort less than year old. The staff are excellent great service always cleaning and trying to help you one of the best things about the resort. Food was very good especially the steakhouse. The sports bar also really good but small portions best buffet I have seen in my travels. Mini bar was restocked every day. Had an excellent view from ocean view room. Great waiter service at pool and also at the beach. The only couple negative points on one morning for a brief period disc [... read more]oloured water from tap and the water in shower had a smell to it. I would go back again for the right price.

Excellent service

I really enjoyed my stay here. It in the hotel zone which it close to all the nightlife like the coco bongo and all the night clubs. The spa is amazing. The service from all the staff was out of this world. The only negative I could say was the pool temp was too cold for me but that a personal preference. The swim up bar was my fav

BIRTHDAY Vacation

Spent my 50th at thia resort ..it was great! Food was excellent and the service was amazing. I has a sunrise view and It was so amazing...the workers are obsessed with keeping the resort clean..I had a marvelous time.ans would definitely be back!

Nice vacation

The hotel was very modern. Kept very clean and regular maintenance was happening in little areas all over to keep it looking it's best. Not overwhelming though. The food was GREAT we definitely did not go hungry with all of the options provided. The beach was beautiful (even with the ONE day of seaweed that invaded the property.) At times the pool was quite crowded as there is only one main pool, one diamond club pool (upgrade required) and a small kids splash pool. Over all we did have a  [... read more]pleasant time. This also being our first time in a high rise type building. (In my opinion I like the villa resorts best for young families) Would return again for a couples getaway.
