Introduction Royal Hideway is located in Playa del Carmen in the middle of the action. You can easily walk or take a taxi into town to shop. Their business is divided fairly evenly between leisure, group, and destination weddings. There are 192 standard guest rooms, 6 junior suites, and 2 presidential suites. Overall Frankly, I would not recommend this resort for most leisure travelers. As the minimum age is 13, it’s not a place to take the kids, and with most guests being comprised of groups, conventions, and weddings, it doesn’t strike me as a resort for a couple’s romantic getaway. While the guest rooms are attractive enough, they don’t say “beach vacation” to me.<br><br>An all-inclusive resort, everything is included except premium wines. Meals are served at one of nine restaurants where you order �. la carte (reservations are necessary for dinner), and room service is available 24 hours a day. Although described as “gourmet dining options,” I am somewhat dubious about the claim - based on my observations while being walked through a restaurant where guests were having lunch (I could smell one patron’s fish dish from a distance of several feet - and it seemed oily looking).
