Stats

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. 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).
