Cancun
The resort is on a beautiful beach. It is staffed with beautiful people who never forget your name or your favorite activity or your drink of choice! It is kept clean and maintained. The a la carts are few but delicious! The resort is small but not too small you are tripping over one another. I have been twice - why not make it three next year!!!! [Details]

The main concerns were the food choices especially at the buffet. Extremely limiting, was cold and does not indicate re: food allergy awareness. There were a few staff that were great but generally the service was not good. [Details]

Pros: Beautiful beach, friendly staff, clean rooms and grounds.

Cons:Food extremely limited as variety and not tasty at all. I will rate the food at 3* at the best.
I had better food quality and much better variety on 4* resorts.
Very limited number of Umbrellas or shades on the beach.

We choose this hotel for our week vacation to get away from the cold weather and relax. We really enjoyed this hotel and its location; it was our 2nd time there. The food was good with a wide variety to choose from and the menu themes were changed on a daily basis. The beach area is beautiful and you can spend many hours walking the beach or relaxing by the pools. [Details]

We had a great trip, staff were very friendly. Had to make sure to get up very early and claim a spot on a pool/beach chair if you wanted one for the day. Played 2 rounds of golf - I recommend the Cancun Riviera course. If you book any golf online, don't forget to call the course 24-hours in advance to arrange your free shuttle - it's included!

Small fridge in room with coke products, beer and water (only 2 beer, maybe we could have asked for more)

Decent TV channels
Team had activities going all day
The weak points
Wifi seemed to kick you off after a while, and then had trouble reconnecting
Bathroom was small, and the stopper on the tub didn't work
Half of the beach area in front of the resort was flagged off (couldn't swim there)
Last bar closed around 2 I think

The hotel is very dated ,but the rooms are big and clean. The tub was plugged, there was NO hot water, the water stopped completly one day. I have never seen so little food offered at a Buffet, the salad bar had lettuce .. no vegetables, there was one option for meat, how ever they did have a Great desert selection. During the day you can get Pizza, Hamburgers and hotdogs near the pool area and these were ok. There is 24hr room service and this needs improvement ... I had a Sandwich which came with 6 fries and the Salad had 3 pieces of lettuce. The pool area was fun and entertaining however it ended at 5 pm and there was NOTHING to do after this, there is no shows at night and nothing else to do. The staff at the pool work very hard. Our waitress was Gisell and she worked very hard each and every day, she always had a smile and made a point to acknowlge you where ever you were on the propery . The sand on the beach is plentifull and nice HOWEVER there is a Seaweed problem and they do not do much to clean it up so you can not walk along the shore or go into the water. They leave the seaweed to rot and dryout on the shore instead of raking it up. I was very concerned that the Security and Life Guards spoke 0 English ... did not make me feel safe. We checked out at noon ...everything fine.. we had a few hrs to kill and had to re check out before leaving. We are givin a slip and told everything is good. We get into our Airport shuttle and about to leave when the Bell boy comes out and says the Mgr wants to talk to us. He informs my husband that he owes $150 for breaking a table .... we did not even use the table..They were just trying to scam us !!! Be Very Aware [Details]

WONDERFUL RETURN VISIT
Christopher John Holden, Regina, SK
2013-12-13
Just returned from this resort and again was totally impressed!From check in to checkout we were surrounded by hardworking and friendly staff who could not do enough to make our stay wonderful.As return guests we had requested a specific room-not an issue-provided!We had arrived later in the evening but were offered seats at one of the restaurants that should have been booked earlier in the day-nice touch!were greeted warmly by many of the staff we had met during our previous visit. Love the 3 headed showers.I cannot stress enough how pristine this resort is!Staff clean and smile while they do it! Sure the buffet does not have the lobster or tenderloin that I have eaten at some other resorts,but there is a great variety of good food and not a night went by when I could not find something that I thoroughly enjoyed.One night after too much sun I was feeling a little nauseated by supper time and my wonderful waiter spoke with his supervisor who immediately brought me the yogurt that I was craving,but that was not served at supper.Everyone at this resort went out of their way to make sure we had a great time.Special thanks to Roberto,Jesus and Hector who mixed us wonderful drinks and without who our holiday would not have been the same. The beach was large with endless white sand .The water was a little rough in areas,but there were several lifeguard protected areas where you could wade,swim and feel safe. My only suggestions for improvements would be queen instead of double beds(we stayed in the premier wing) and possibly beach waiter service,but this would be nit-picking as we loved every moment of our stay and will certainly return next year(we travel a fair amount and this is the only resort we have ever chosen to return to).

I traveled in February and absolutely loved my stay! The ground were incredibly clean, people are always cleaning! The rooms are absolutely stunning and comfortable. The staff made us feel welcome and feel like family, they are absolutely so sweet. The food is AMAZING. I was so surprised at how much variety the buffet had and the El Mirador restaurant was amazing. The activity staff are so much fun and work hard to make sure everyone is having a blast. This is a smaller hotel which means it does not take 20 minutes to go back to the room to get something, which was nice. Overall great hotel!!!! [Details]

The hotel is nice but, I would not consider it five star in comparison to other five star hotels where we have stayed i.e. El Dorado Royale. It is clean and attractive. Staff is attentive. The food is mediocre and they could use more variety with respect to a la carte restaurants. We enjoyed our experience and considering the price that we paid it was good value. But, I would rate it a 4 star at best. One added note: they are way too aggressive on the time share sell. They hit you as soon as you check in. I didn't like that. [Details]

We just got back from Cancun Saturday afternoon and it was a dream come true. The Grand Park Royal is one of the cleanest hotels I've ever stayed at. The staff was amazing! The restaurants were fantastic with a great variety of food so you didn't get sick of eating the same thing. The nightlife in Cancun is something that everyone should experience....soooo fun! I would recommend this hotel to anyone. [Details]

Ei, Calgary, AB
2012-03-15
We took the red-eye flight into Cancun and arrived at the hotel at about 8am. We were told we could not get our bracelets until 11am - so no food or water. They gave us towel cards, which we used, but then while we were around the pool, we had security asking us where our bracelets were. Rooms were clean. Buffet food was good. The Italian resturant and Martin were excellent! But get in line to reserve by 11am. Tipping does not go far and seems to be forgetten the next day (with the exception of a few great employees). We were there to celebrate our engagement and it was ignored and we were told we couldn't pay to have our room rose - petal'ed or anything otherwise special. Weather was really windy - we couldn't sit on the beach without getting sandblasted (and there were no chairs even if we wanted to). Be at the pool early - before 7 am to get a chair. All in all - would not go back to Cancun and definitely not back to this hotel. [Details]

We were very pleased with this hotel, very large beach area and two separate pool areas. One for the young crowd and one quieter area. Food was good but it was tough to book the oriental and italian restaurants. Rooms in the newer addition were nice but the beds were very firm. Friendly staff but the front desk should inform people about the cards for the towels once you check-in and are given your room keys. [Details]

Everything went smoothly for us. We were allowed to check in early which was nice because our 18 month old was tired. The staff were very friendly and the food and service were both excellent. We only ate in the buffet because our daughter couldn't sit through an a la carte menu. The place was so clean, which was such a bonus. They were always cleaning. We will most likely go back again.
