We have been going to Royal Mayan and Royal Caribbean for several years now, and to us it seems that this must be the closest place to paradise. We fly transatlantic all the way from Britain and absolutely love the place. No other vacation that we have taken before comes anywhere close to it and this is the reason why my daughters will not contemplate going somewhere else for a change. The staff are fantastic, always courteous and smiling, and they will even go out of their way to keep guests happy. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

We have been original owners at the Royal Mayan since our youngest daughter celebrated her 5th birthday there and she is now 27. Our girls have loved having our annual family vacation at the Royal Mayan every year and have so many fond family memories and of course soooo many pictures.
We have seen the Royal Mayan through several hurricanes with minimal damage which was quickly and easily repaired. It is built to withstand such events when other structures were completely destroyed. Even the beach "healed itself" after one hurricane when we thought it was surely never to be the same.
We feel we truly made a very wise investment in the Royal Mayan because it was making an investment in our family. Now our (4) girls are bringing their own families to the Royal Resorts and prefer the Royal Mayan. There is no other place they would rather come even though one of them lives in Orlando.

Stayed at the Mayan twice and once at the Islander. Love the place sooooo much that we just bought at the Royal Haciendas yearly!!! You don't get this accommodation from the Royal Resorts any where else. You will have a fabulous vacation at any of these resorts......

In December of 2006 Denver had one of the worst blizzards ever. This caused the Denver airport to be closed for the first time in history. This closure stranded thousands of passengers at the airport itself and delayed flights into Denver for other passengers in other cities trying to fly in.
I was one of those passengers stranded in another city. Rather than wait for the airlines to recover and for the Denver airport to reopen, I rented a car and drove 25 hours straight from Nashville, Tennessee to Denver in order to catch a flight with my family from Denver to Cancun the next day. I was determined to take my family to Cancun for the first time ever.
Upon arrival at the Denver airport in the wee hours of the morning on December 22, 2006, we were amazed to see over 4,000 passengers standing in line patiently waiting for their flight. The terminal was absolutely silent as our family of five walked through it. To our astonishment, we were first in line for our Cancun flight and departed on time. We were further surprised to see our Frontier Flight live on CNN as the very first plane to fly out of Denver after the blizzard.
We had never stayed at the Royal Mayan but had heard great reviews from friends who had. Our experience, after all that we had gone through to get here, was absolutely fabulous. The resort itself was perfect in everyway. The service was definitely 5 star. My wife called on Christmas Day, when all the staff had been given the day off, for more towels. We were very pleased when the requested towels were delivered in less than five minutes. Now that is service!
The breakfast buffet was excellent and the on- site restaurant was without question one of the best we have ever dined in.
Make sure to cross the street and dine at the Captain's Cove for a great dining experience right on the water. The seafood and service were magnificent. To top it off, we were given a 20% discount for presenting our Royal Card.
I would recommend the Royal Mayan to anyone at anytime. We definitely will return again. Next time though, we hope to do it without all the snow.

I have been an owner at the Royal Mayan since it was built, in 1985. I bought another week in 1995, and another in about 2000 and again in 2003.
To me this is the best timeshare on Planet Earth, because I have never had any complaint that was not resolved, and I have always been happy when I am at the Royal Mayan.
I love all the Royal Resorts and I am very lucky to own with them.

I just got back from this resort 2 weeks ago. I absoultely loved it. The units were beautiful. They had a real Mexican/Mayan flavor. The floors were glossy brown marble, and they had Mayan-looking caligraphy on the doors. We stayed in a 2 bedroom overlooking the pool and beach. The view alone is worth the trip.
This resort is affiliated with 2 other resorts right next door. These resorts were within walking distance to each other, and each had their own theme and their own restaurants. I traveled with 2 babies and 2 other adults. They had everything to accomodate the children. One resort had one of the best kiddie pools I've seen, topped only by one at Disney World Resorts. The prices were acceptable for pretty good food. Breakfast is a must. Try it at least once for $10 per person. The rooms had maid service daily. This is the first time I have been to a timeshare where you get maid service DAILY! Top that with an onsite grocer with good prices, and this place can't be beat.
I was able to see the rooms in the sister resorts. They were pretty, but they lacked the native flavor that The Royal Mayan had.
I would definately stay here again.

Indulge yourself in an entire villa, your family will love the space (1300plus square feet) and enjoy the very large veranda. With ocean views to sooth one's mind, you will be able to find exercise for the body by using the many amenities of all the Royal Resorts. Try the Spa, tennis, golf, windsurfing, scuba, snorkeling, and more. The restaurants are top notch with popular prices. It is a five star resort, and I agree.

We just got home from a wonderful stay at the Royal Mayan. The accomodations, food and staff are top notch, something we have looked forward to each year and have never been let down. Enjoyed the water aerobics in the pool and new gym at the Royal Carribean this year.

Just came back. No one has posted in over a year so I feel compelled to drop a review. First off, you can hardly find a hint of the hurricane at the Royals. The beaches were pristine. This is a 5 star resort in every way. I was watching from my balcony a man in a wetsuit enter the pool and wash the tiles around the pool. I saw this on 2 separate days. Its amazing to see the Royals maintain their properties. Even the Mayan, one of the older properties, are extremely well taken care of. Service is fantastic. Unfortunately, on our last night there my 5 year old daughter managed to split her chin open on the bathroom vanity during a fall. She received immediate attention from at least 4 people within minutes. A very good doctor is on staff. She was brought into the office and received 9 sutures. I couldn't imagine what would have happened had we stayed elsewhere. Outstanding.

We just came back from a week at this wonderful resort (Feb 19-26 2005) and wish we could have stayed another week. Wonderful, friendly staff, beautiful location and accomodation at a resort that has thought of everything you could possibly need. go!

I absolutely LOVE going to the Royal Resorts. The facilities and services are the very best. We prefer the three Royals together over the Royal Sands...they seem more laid-back and the pool areas feel much less hectic. More trees and warmer atmosphere. The spa at the Sands, however, is first class and not to be missed.

Excellent resort. We've stayed at all the Royal Resorts in Cancun and all are topnotch. They are consistently rated at the top of the list of all the resorts in Cancun.

I say "ditto" to all the other reviews. It doesn't get any better than the Royals in Cancun. We loved our visit at the Royal Mayan and would definitely return.

We stayed at the Royal Mayan in April, 2003. The staff is fantastic and the facilities and activities are excellent. Even the timeshare sales staff were great - low pressure and informative. It's easy to see why most of the other people there were owners that rarely trade their weeks.

We have traveled a lot, and the Royal Mayan (and its amenities and services) is at the top of the list of places we would return to time and time again. We have the opportunity to visit in October 2003, and would not want to even consider another resort...this was the BEST! Two weeks would be ideal...

As a Marriott owner I can honestly say that the Royal Mayan, Carribean, and Islander are right up there with Marriott standards! All three resorts are connected and you can use the facilities in any of the three. The restaurants are tops, the employees all are friendly and try to please. All three resorts are just beautiful with very large pools. This was a very nice vacation for my family and I.

One of the four top quality Royals with superb location and accomodation. Staying at the Mayan one is entitled to a free use of all facilities at the sister resorts - the Carribbean, the Islander, the older VCI and the brand new Royal Sands offering a choice of at least six restaurants and several pools. This is the best deal in Cancun. Positively a 5 star.

I've stayed in many hotels and resorts in CanCun and this is the best by far. Sister resorts next door to use their facilities, the out door palapya is excellent as are all the royals. The staff is always at your service.
