The food options are limited. When we arrived our first night the buffet had been shut down, and our dinner reservation wasnt until 930 pm. Our only option for food was room service. They had no snack bar, no restaurant would take us before our reservation time. When we arrived for our reservations (every night) the table was never ready. Wed wait 10-30 mins for our table, and since our reservations were all between 9-930 pm ( only ones available) we felt rushed when staff wanted to close. The resort is definitely for an older crowd. Limited activities, and music. The beach was very nice though. All in all, for the price, I wouldn't recommend, or go back.

Property was ok. Service at restaurants was poor and food selection was limited. Needed a reservation for all restaurants.

Magnificent professional and sufficiently kept up. Noise from adjacent properties was enticing but unaccessable. Restaurants were unesasarrily strict with policies about requiring reservations when slow or accommodating when group not complete at reservation time.

Rooms were hot and smelt like mold. After complaining we were told it’s fine to them. Only 2 bars are open. The pool bar requires you to put on a mask before they will serve you (which okay, I understand COVID, but realistically to get out the the pool soaking wet, to get you mask, to walk to the bar, to then take off you mask to get in the pool again, over and over again because there wasn’t enough staff to serve you, kind of irritating). Also, make sure men bring PANTS, we brought dress shorts for dinner, not pants, only one restaurant will serve you with no pants. It’s hot, in Mexico, dress shorts should be allowed.

This resort is a must visit. The hospitality is top notch, the food is incredible, the views are stunning and it is all around perfect. We were looking for a relaxing vacation and we got it. They made the Covid testing so easy that it not even a minor inconvenience. I HIGHLY recommend this resort.

We just got back from our five night stay at the Royal Hideaway and it was amazing! I was skeptical reading all the great reviews; sometimes you can't always trust them. And there were so many of them! But it was everything and more. I almost don't want to write another great review and keep this secret to myself. The staff are amazing and so accommodating. From the bellman, Manuel, to our concierge Luis, to all the restaurant staff! There are too many names to mention, but the pool staff, Luis and Javier were excellent! They remembered what we drank every day and worked their butts off to bring you non-stop drinks while you relax by the pool or on the beach. The food was also very good! I don't think we ever had a bad meal or anything we didn't like. We made all of our reservations before we got there and this bit of advice was the best advice we got. We were able to get all the restaurants we wanted at the times we preferred. Our concierge Luis and The Grill's manager Hector did amazing setting up a romantic dinner for us on the beach for our anniversary even with a chance of thunderstorms coming in. The hotel and grounds itself are so beautiful and clean. There was very little seaweed and the small amount that was there was cleaned up every morning by the staff. Our room was perfect! We were upgraded to a room overlooking one of the relaxation pools. I just can't say enough about our stay and how perfect it was! We will definitely be back.
