The Royal Cancun (Club Internacional de Cancun)

This place is like heaven. We rented for 2 weeks over Christmas and New Years. I never want to leave!

I have been a member of Club International de Cancun since 1977... I consider it to be the single best investment I ever made in my life, because no other investment has brought so much pleasure to my life, and to my family's... it changed my life for the better.

After 30 years, it came to the end of the 30 years right to use with a residual value, and we were offered to renew or receive the residual value... of course, I renewed my three weeks for another 30 years. "Residual Value" by the way, is unheard of in most other timeshares. It means we got our original investment back, or in my case, much more.

The Club was renovated extensively. All the drainage was replaced, the swimming pools are now heated, and the Villas were beautifully remodeled and furnished. It was already beautiful before, but it is even more beautiful now. If it was 5 stars before, now it deserves another star, because now it is exceptionally beautiful. The swimming pools now are heated... and new lights that change colors from a deep blue to green and purple etc. were installed in the swimming pools... they are stunningly beautiful... There is a new "river" that flows from one fountain near one swimming pool to the other swimming pool. And there is a new playground for small children.

Also known as "Vacation Clubs International" or "V.C.I." or "Vacation Clubs"... This was the first Royal Resort, and it set new standards for the Timeshare industry. It is not as "ritzy" as the other Royal Resorts, but it is first class all the way. V.C.I. has had the highest customer rating for longer than any other timeshare in the world, according to Interval International, Consumer's Reports, and R.C.I. You can also use the restaurants and facilities at the other Royal Resorts, which makes it very pleasant. Service is superb.

The "C" Villas are duplex (two floors) and have two large bedrooms and two baths, and the "B" Villas have two smaller bedrooms and only one bath. They both have the same kitchen and living room area. The beach at V.C.I. is very calm and great for children, as opposed to the beach on the other side of the island, and sailing here is the best. You will love the beautiful architecture and landscaping and gardens of V.C.I.

Oh my God, this place is wonderful...It's well kept, the units has great space, the service is so great, and I love the fact that it's so close to town. The bus fare is great, runs quite often (every 5-10min). I took the bus to Walmart to purchase food for the week to cook in my full size kithchen, complete with dishes, pots, pans, silverware. The maid services is top of the line and anything we needed they worked hard to accomodate us...I shall return year after year...Try it and let me know.

My friend and I just stayed here week 15, 2010. It was a 'girls' getaway. As you can imagine, we were a little apprehensive being in Cancun by ourselves, but once we got to the resort...all our fears went away. Our concierge (Fayo) was tremendous, housekeeping was great and the food at the restaurant was awesome! Very CLEAN, QUIET AND FRIENDLY. Looking into purchasing a unit myself.

The convenience of the Royal Market was wonderful. Prices are very competitive, so there was no need to find "Wal-mart" which would have cost us a lot more in the long run. They have almost anything you could want. I highly recommend this location!

This place is AWESOME!

Update 5/6/10 I just purchased a unit!!

This is a 30 yr. old resort but in excellent conditions. This is the only resort in the world that has won Interval International awards for Customer Satisfaction for 30 years straight. Beautifully furnished and decorated villas. I have a C villa, weeks 51 & 52 of this resort (same unit always so no need to tip the person in the front desk to get the villa you want). I have a 2 Bedroom/2bath Duplex Villa. The timeshare includes the complete usage of all the Royal resorts facilities located at the 5 other resorts. Free shuttle service is provided. The great thing is that this is not an all inclusive resort. You have the choice of cooking in, using the restaurant, order food to your villa from the deli or dining out. The villa includes a full kitchen (with pots, pans, dishes and utensils), stove, microwave and dishwasher, dining room, living room and balcony. Included is the standard Royals Maid service every day except Sunday. Excellent service!!! Free sailboats, tennis, snorkelling, heated swimming pool. In 2008 the VCI put in wireless throughout the resort along with heated pools.
