Royal Villas are located on the property of the Barcelo Hotel. Beautiful property right on the beach front. The villas were air conditioned, hot running shower and a nice view of the Pacific Ocean. Our villa was facing the mountain side but had a balcony facing the ocean.

This was our honeymoon get away yet had the 2 full size bed.

Downside: beds were bit stiff, tv was in ok shape, and we did not have all inclusive.

Barcelo had 2 restaurants, a club and three pools,

Been to the Villas twice, and its recent renovation makes a huge difference. I'm from San Francisco, so I'm used to good food - and the food here has gotten loads better since my first trip 2 years ago. The rooms are very luxurious and the service is very attentive.

For us, it was a great home base from which to get to the great beaches and explore Ixtapa/Acapulco/Guerrero, We saw some slightly fancier places, but were more than twice the price. We thought this was a great value.

Anyways, compare them to the others on TripAdvisor before you take my word for it.

The 2 BR, 2 Bath suite we occupied was among the top 3 or 4 of the more than 20 hotel rooms we have booked in Mexico over the last 15 years. Unfortunately the Park Royal Hotels are all inclusive and neither the food nor the amenities were up to the level of the Barcelo or other nearby resorts. Breakfast was average, the Ceviche lunch menu was very good. The Italian restaurant (same day reservation only) had a limited menu but was quite good. The normal steam table dinner was sadly lacking. There were virtually no amenities, no visible program, and nothing but meals, drinks, and tips in the manditory "All Inclusive" package. The hotel service was efficient, courteous, and prompt. The staff were both pleasant and helpful and there was a minimal time share hassle.

We belong to Royal Holiday Club, 1st time using membership, very happy with room, overlooking the ocean was Wonderful. Room very clean, staff friendly, food-good. Thanks for the memories, hope to see you again in the future. Debbie, from Indiana
