We stayed at the Royal Mayan for one week in August. We were leaving the NY area and were very lucky to get out of the airport right before Hurricane Irene took hold. The Royal Mayan was beautiful. We own at the Royal Sands (a sister resort) but traded for this week so we could bring my daughter and her... More

We stayed in a 2 bedroom, 2 bath villa at the Royal Mayan Resort September 10th thru the 17th of 2011. To begin with, we booked online before our trip began round trip airport transfers with Valet Cancun. There were 4 of us on 2 different flights but arriving and departing within a half hour of each other and they... More

Conveniently located 15 minutes from the airport and 4 days in advance booking was the reason we booked this resort (last minute vacation). I traded in a 1 bedroom from the Grand Mayan (*****) share for a 2 bedroom villa at the Royal Mayan. Pool - heated and intimate. Service was so friendly even at the BEACH bar. Beach sands... More

We were in Cancun and Playa de Carmen for 15 days in total August 13-28. We chose the Royal Mayan for our first week as we read great reviews and got a great deal through our timeshare (not a Royal Resort). We stayed in a 2br/2ba that had a great central view of the beach/sea. We stayed at 3 different... More

We did not stay here, but enjoyed the resort nonetheless. The La Palapa restaurant and bar were fantastic and we visited it several times over the week. The Mexican buffet and Folk Dance Show is fantastic – don’t miss. The food was all-you-can-eat, as were the margaritas and soft drinks. All was amazing. The dance troupe had 6-7 costume changes...

We stayed at The Royal Mayan during the week of Labor Day this year. Being new timeshare owners, this was our first exchange experience. We had a great trip, and definitely plan on making a return trip to the Royal Resorts. We loved the location of the Mayan, which is right next door to The Royal Caribbean and The Royal... More

I spent a week at the Royal Mayan with my brother and his wife and it was the most enjoyable vacation I have had in several years. The staff was excellent; the food was excellent; the facilities and grounds were excellent. While we were in Mexico we visited another resort to attend a wedding and we found those facilities well...

My wife and I stayed at the Royal Mayan resort in Cancun from 9/3 - 9/10 2011 (I'm watching the sun rise from our patio as I write this) and had a great time. First of all I'd like to assure fearful travelers that the drug gang violence you see on TV is not happening in Cancun and the surrounding... More

Just returned from another perfect vacation to the Royal Mayan in Cancun, where the staff are friendly and service-minded, the food options are plentiful and terrific in every way, and the amenities are fun and enjoyable. The Royal Mayan is the oldest of the three connected properties (adjacent to the Carribbean and Islander) but it's wonderful how the 'card' system... More

We spent a week using an RCI exchange and were very pleased with the property which is at the south end of the hotel zone. We had a 7th floor 2 bdrm lockout (A&B) in building "L" which gave us a wonderful view of the pools and the ocean from multiple patios. Unit said max of 6 with 1 king... More
