With a picture-perfect location at the end of Playa del Carmen's main shopping street and yet on a pretty stretch of beach, the all-suite Royal in Playa del Carmen is the perfect choice for adult couples and friends, who want lavish, surroundings and a good beach, plus the action that comes with being in the middle of a Mexican beachfront town.

“The Royal in Playa del Carmen is an absolutely gorgeous resort with a serious WOW factor! The location is fantastic and rooms are to die for. The lovely landscaping blends in with the swimming pools and the beach and the view of Cozumel Island all lit up at night is awesome. You can put yourself on the beach, in downtown Playa del Carmen, or even on the ferry to Cozumel within minutes — it doesn’t get any more convenient than that!”

— Nadine Hartnett, Maritime Travel counsellor, Park Lane, Halifax, NS
