The Royal Cancun All Suites Resorts

Scene

Family-friendly beachfront resort with all-inclusive options that keep guests on-site

As its name suggests, The Royal Cancun has only suites, all of which have two bedrooms and sleep five or six guests. It also offers plenty of amenities for children and, as such, primarily attracts vacationing families looking for a beachfront getaway where everything they could dream of doing is available on the premises. As such, couples may find the resort feels a bit too saturated with kiddos. Still, the overall vibe is welcoming, and beautifully landscaped grounds are a standout with red-stone walkways and lots of tropical trees and shrubbery. Rooms and common facilities are spread out among a series of connected whitewashed Mission-style structures with terra-cotta-tiled roofs, giving the large beachfront property an elegant and quintessentially Mexican look.

Location

Beachfront location in Cancun's Hotel Zone

The Royal Cancun is located along the water in Cancun's Hotel Zone, a 25-minute drive from the airport and just over 20 minutes from the city center. It is a great spot for visitors that want to be in the center of it all, close to restaurants and nightlife as well as shops at La Isla -- a modern shopping center that's a 15-minute drive away. It's about a 40-minute drive to Puerto Morelos, which has quiet beaches and great snorkeling spots. Playa del Carmen -- a laid-back but bustling town with great shopping and a well-heeled crowd -- takes about an hour to reach by car, while chilled-out Tulum, best known for its Mayan ruins, is about an hour and 40 minutes away by car.

Rooms

Two-bedroom suites, all with full kitchens, living and dining rooms, and terraces 

The Royal Cancun offers Two-Bedroom Suites with either one or two bathrooms, and either resort or ocean views. Both types have separate living rooms with dining areas plus kitchens and furnished tile-lined terraces or balconies. The smaller one-bathroom units measure around 867 square feet (264 square meters), while the larger units are spread over two floors, with about 866 square feet (264 square meters) on the ground floors plus an additional 398 square feet (121 square meters) upstairs. All units have similar decor consisting of neutral and earthy hues throughout, including light-beige floors, lots of medium-to-dark wooden furniture, and orange accents on drapes and throw cushions. Large still-life oil paintings add color and vibrancy in the living areas. 

Kitchens are functional, if not particularly sleek, with ovens, electric stoves, microwaves, and huge fridges. Crockery, plates, and cutlery are provided. Amenities include flat-screen TVs in the bedrooms and living rooms, safes, and DVD players. Living rooms come equipped with Murphy beds and cribs are available on request. Bathrooms are large, with shower/tub combos and separate vanity areas equipped with magnifying mirrors and hairdryers. Organic toiletries by local brand Yucatan Herbal are provided. Housekeeping comes daily, which isn't always the case with condo-style lodgings in the area.
