I would stay here again just wish they would change certain things.
Pros:

If you are looking for a relaxing, calm vacation this is the spot.
Friendly staff.
All the rooms have two bedrooms, when I thought I booked a one-bedroom, I was surprised when I saw I had two bedrooms.

Cons:

Because this is a members’ hotel. And even though you booked an all-inclusive, it actually only covers about 90 percent of everything. There are items that you do have to pay a little extra for. For example if you want steak they have house steak which is free but if you want one rib-eye steak it will cost you approximately 30 dollars extra to get the rib-eye. Again most things are included; it’s just certain items that will require an extra fee. Also because of it being a members’ hotel every time you eat, anywhere in the property, you have to wait for a bill after that you have to sign, which becomes annoying. It’s not like you could just go into the hall grab a burger and keep walking, NO you have to give them your physical room key, give them your room number, order, eat it and then wait for a bill that you have to sign and if you want to tip you leave it on the bill which gets charge to the room when you leave the property. Again just annoying and I wish they found a better system because the property is a good place to stay for a relaxing calm vacation.

Ideal para familias
Pros:

La playa es ideal para niños, sin oleaje, sin sargazo, poca profundidad. En el hotel te pueden prestar equipo deportivo como visores, aletas y tubo de snorkel para niños y adultos. Se pueden ver peces muy cerca de la playa con solo caminar un poco. Es una gran experiencia. La habitación es amplia y está muy equipada.

Cons:

El buffet no tiene tantas opciones. El sport bar puede mejorar.

A Must Stay at The Royal Cancun
Pros:

We stayed here to celebrate my son & his best friends's graduation from high school. Both will be leaving for college soon. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this resort! It was clean and well appointed! The Palapa is an enjoyable outdoor restaurant right on the beach. La Trattoria serves delicious Italian food with a poolside view. The Royal Market had everything we needed to cook breakfast in the mornings and snacks & beers for sitting poolside. We visited the sister resort, The Royal Sands, using the free shuttle and had a great time there too! Lounge chairs under straw palapas right on the beach are readily available at both resorts. The location is just a 5 minute walk to the ferry building that will take you to Isla Mujeres. Ubers are easy to get and take you on your excursions or restaurants/stores outside the resort. They pick up on the sidewalk of the resort but will return you to the lobby area. I liked that the main bedroom with bath was upstairs for added privacy and there was a 2nd bedroom with twin beds downstairs & a Murphy bed in the living room. So everyone in our group slept comfortably in their own beds. We would definitely stay again and would highly recommend it to anyone interested.

Had its ups and downs
Pros:

Location was ok, have to take taxi to shopping and nightlife but luckily not too expensive. Beach was well maintained, as was the entire resort. Rooms were nice but mattresses and pillows were extremely lacking! Very uncomfortable and made a good night’s rest impossible.
All-inclusive cost is only worth it if you drink a bunch of alcohol and hit the buffets. La Trattoria was not good at all, La Palapa was hit or miss. If this resort had been closer to local Taquerias and other eateries, we most likely would not have done all-inclusive. Taking the shuttle to the sister resort definitely helped the availability of food and I would have spent more time there if I could have.
Staff was amazing and definitely the highlight of the trip, other than the beach and pool bar (which could have stayed open longer for adults).

Would opt for Royal Sands over Royal Cancun
Pros:

Not many vegetarian friendly options. Bugs in the room, take precautions. Kids club does not have English friendly options. Room service is delayed. The spa does not have sauna and steam.

Great Family Resort
Pros:

Great hotel for a family vacation. If you want the party vibe this is not your resort. Excellent service from the time you check in to the time you check out. Food is excellent you must try their Italian restaurant (you need a reservation but it is very easy to get one). The staff at the pool grill and beach lounge chairs are great. Manuel and Patty will go the extra mile to make it a great vacation for you. I definitely recommend getting the all inclusive package it is worth every penny.

The Royal Cancun is the place to be.
Pros:

Very relaxing resort without the hassles of loud main tourist sites. Very well equipped, calm beach, and nice onsite store and restaurants. The staff is always helpful and service good. I come yearly.
