Great Resort

This resort is beautiful... the facilities are all top notch. The restaurants were great (food occasionally not quite as hot as would have liked but overall very very good). The staff was terrific. We stayed in the hideaway section and it was really nice. There were two nights we were woken by couple who had partied to hard fighting in hall way. This isn’t really a complaint against the resort but be aware that there can be some party people there. I would definitely return and  [... read more]would stay in hideaway section again. I would bring my earplugs just in case tho!!

Royalton Hideaway

Rooms and resort amenities are beautiful i.e., modern upscale decor. Food quality and service at a la carte restaurants was very hit and miss. Portions were small overall. Room service menu choices were very limited, delivery was slow and good quality was just mediocre if that. Guest services staff have poor attitudes - unfriendly and less than helpful. I will not return or recommend the Royalton to my friends or family.

Fantastic Vacation!

We recently stayed at Hideaway at Royalton Riviera Cancun and can tell you that it is an amazing resort. We loved every moment! The staff was incredible, immaculate rooms, non-stop drinks and amazing food. Would definitely recommend to anyone debating this resort, worth every cent!

Incredible resort!!!!

This hotel is nothing short of being amazing. Everything someone could want on an all inclusive vacation. The property is in prestige condition and they take care of this property like it’s meant for royalty’s.

A truly comfortable resort

The location is great, very close to the Cancun airport. Very little plane traffic overhead. The junior suite room was spacious and clean. The staff do their very best to make their guests as comfortable as possible. The selection of restaurants was excellent. The food was great and selection was there. The entertainment was entertaining. Just no going through the motions. Draw backs: toilets were low and time went too fast.

Gorgeous resort and amazing holiday!

What an amazing hotel to take our family our vacation to! From the beautiful rooms and pools, to the delicious food and drinks! All the restaurants including the buffet were able to accommodate my gluten free diet! Thank you so much to the wonderful staff! We were made to feel like royalty at the Royalton!!

Very Disappointing

I will never go back to the Royalton Rivera Cancun Hideway ! The staff in the hotel is not friendly or helpful! The cleaning staff is very nice and the rooms are very clean and the property! They staff in the Royalton only cares about selling you shares for you to return to the diamond club and only if you stay in the diamond club you get exceptional service other wise no one cares about your needs or complaints! You are constantly ignored! The make promises which is never kept! The service in t [... read more]he restaurants is so poor, you wait 10 mins to get some one to serve you in anyone of their dining restaurants with drinks or coffee in the morning ! Service is extremely slow service at breakfast,lunch and dinners ! Will never go back to Mexico Cancun Royalton Rivera!

Wonderful Stay at the Royalton Hideaway

We stayed at the Royalton Hideaway, overall it was a great stay. Unfortunately, we had an evening flight that was delayed, by the time we reached the hotel we were ready for bed.Once we were checked in we went to our room, and the key didn’t work. We then had to walk back to the concierge, where they were unable to fix our key. We had to have security let us in and we were not able to leave our room until morning when they would be able to fix our keys (thank goodness for room service). Fortun [... read more]ately, the guest services were able to make up for this providing us a dinner on the beach! The resort staff were wonderful, food was excellent (no reservations made it difficult to get in at times) and they always ensured to ask for allergies/food restrictions before seating you. The beach was beautiful, the grounds were well maintained, and the entertainment was always interesting. All in all it was a wonderful fun trip, and we would highly recommend your next vacation at the Royalton in Puerto Morelos!

No Complaints!

This resort is a perfect example of “You get what you pay for” but in a good way! For that few extra hundred to book at the Royalton we were treated like Royalty! Everyone was so kind, food was tasty, not one complaint! What I loved about the A la cartes was that it was first come first serve basis. It was nice because in the past we have been places where all of the restaurants were booked with reservations to the point we could not get one. Also this is good because many book reser [... read more]vations and just don’t go. Steak house was so good we ended up going twice! Before coming to this resort we did read about the sales pitch for the Time Share thing. It was never pushy or annoying and as far as I’m made aware, every resort is now pushing these time share presentations. We simply said no and they did not bother us. One thing I could see being a complaint for others (it was no issue to us) is it you booked the Hideaway, the adults only section. Considering the main building which hosts check in, restaurants, buffet and the sport bar is part of the kid friendly area, this could be an issue for some. The hideaway is a nice little area exclusive to the adults however if you want to access any other amenities, you will encounter families and children. This did not bother us however we could see how it may affect somebody else’s stay. We booked a swim up suite room. It was amazing, the water temperature was perfect and it was still a part of the action enough to hear the music and see what was going on in the big pool. We did not book the diamond club, but every waiter came right up to our pool to offer us beverages and food almost as though we had our own butler anyways. So it was great. Also, the Diamond Club exclusive pool is a family pool. They do not have an adults only area. Overall, it was one of our best experiences and there are really no complaints. I would say this is the best all inclusive we have gone to by far ! Another bonus is that it was only 15 minutes away from the airport :)

Great resort

Beautiful grounds and buildings. Many lovely pools and amazing staff. The food is second to none. The room service impossible to reach and slow to restock the water. Very minor glitches and would happily return

Delicious, Exciting, and Energetic!

Pros: - AMAZING authentic restaurant food - Fantastic staff (shout-out to Francisco at the Grazie Italian restaurant, he was awesome!) - Very clean resort (staff are always on the ball) - Tantalizing shows (PLEASE go see the nightly shows; they're SO GOOD) - Beautiful views (Check out the rooftop terrace!) - Very close to the airport Cons: - Daily events and fitness classes from TV schedules didn't always line up with actual events - Events sometimes seem to get cancelled without noti [... read more]ce - This is a personal preference, but I would have appreciated more Latin music, and maybe some relaxing music in the Hideaway section. There was a lot of party/pop music. I would HIGHLY recommend this resort. It was a blast! In my opinion, the staff and the food made the vacation. Don't forget to tip! Tipping a few CDN or USD to the hard-working folk at Hideaway goes a long way in making your vacation that much better and everyone is happy! Also, try out some original Mexican drinks while you're there! I LOVE the Banderis Mexicana, Riviera Maya, Paloma, Michelada and Carajillo!

Great Reaort with a few caveats

The resort was great, clean, safe, plenty of pools and good food options. Breakfast had a tonne of options. The view from the lobby is sublime. The cons were it wasn't the greatest organizational experience. Check in was long. There's a lot of people trying to convince you to spend more money, either on a spa or on their packages. The beach was ok, the beds and chairs by the beach and pool were sometimes dirty or had a pool of water. Overall was still a good experience but slightly short of 5 s [... read more]tar.

Amazing Resort

This is our second time going to the Royalton Rivieria and we are already planning to return. Great staff, food, and evening shows! Only thing we weren't happy about was the pressure to attend the time share presentation. We were asked by 4 separate people about it despite telling them we did it the last time and were not interested.

Nice resort

Resort was beautiful, layout was little different more like a mall then a tropical resort. Food was good at typical royalton style. I have been to other royalton resorts and this was by far my least favourite. Entertainment looked liked it was at a high school level.

Amazing stay!

We had a great time, pretty much every aspect was great, food was fantastic and so plenty, maybe to plenty according to my clothes! Room was well appointed, beds quite comfy, we had a rooftop jacuzzi with a nice ocean view! Lots of fun at the disco most nights!

Wonderful resort

Everything was exceptional except the view from your room in the gardenview area. It is not a gardenview but rather a swamp with trees with a bad smell coming from it. Could not sit out on your balcony

Beautiful Resort!

Very beautiful resort. Staff were fantastic, starting from the welcome to the wave goodbye. They made our trip worth while. Variety of shows to float everyone’s boat. I would 100% recommend Royalton to everyone, whether family or adults at the hideaway.

Amazing weather and good food

this hotel was a dream when it first opened in 2015, everything top notch to promote its opening...we just came back from there and it has dropped from top notch to just another nice resort in the mayan Riviera!!! The buffet restaurant is not that good so everyone goes to the featured restaurants, which are good( the dorado was our fave). The sports bar has slipped in my opinion, along with the martini bar. There is no longer plastic straws which is an awesome perception, but something like a pa [... read more]per straw would've been nice to stir that nice slushy drink with!! Overall the weather was the best and still had fun, just not like a 5star anymore...3.5 to 4star maybe, the beach has a ton of seaweed washing up now and was weird to notice that it was brought up around the grounds below the rooms to do god knows what with, but could not sit on our balcony due to the stench from it :(

Amazing Resort

We stayed in the adults only section. Loved it. The food is fantastic with lots of options. The rooms are modern and clean. This was our second stay at a Royalton property. This one also did not disappoint.

Beautiful Resort.

upon arrival at the airport we were greeted by our Sunwing Rep, this process to the bus was very smooth and quick. arriving to the resort we were hoping that this would most likely be the family drop off and that we would surely be driving to a second location for the adult portion of the resort (Hideaway). however to our dissappoitnment that was not the case. we were greeted by very friendly staff and once the paper work and logistics were worked out, off to our room. again with disappointm [... read more]ent knowing that because we were walking the adult resort was certainly going to be close to the large family building. I would like to stress when you are booking this hotel for an adult couple, strongly stress that this is a large resort and a very family oriented resort. the Hideaway thougbeit their adult version, was not ours. with the very small selection of 2 restaurants we had to find our way over every night to choose a restaurant with many playful children and extreme wait times, in fact some we never made because of this very reason. there was not a lot going on for us either. we did however enjoy a few evenings dedicated to us at the Hideaway. I can say that the resort itself was lovely, and not much was missed in way of services, but I will not go back and would only recommend as a family resort. the staff were amazing and as lovely as ever. I love Mexico and the amazing people that live and work there.
