"Room was very nice. They kept it clean. Great food options, and nice pool vibes "

"Staff were all exceptional. Particularly Francisco, Enrique, Maria, Vanessa & Francis. Room & pool area very clean and nice. Food at buffet was...buffet food. Meh. Large selection, always about the same. Some items would get hard (had to saw through a crepe with a steak knife) but about what you'd expect at buffett. This place is beautifully expansive but there are some trip hazzards (sunken bricks etc) on the main walkway leading from lobby area to rooms. I was able to get 15,000 steps/day without trying. Great for me but older people & those that may have mobility issues should be aware. Didn't see any monkeys except a little one that had a tight collar and leash that a man brought around the pool area to sell selfies with. It was quite disturbing. Large selection of pools, active and quiet. Very nicely kept. Lots of wildlife, especially coati & deer everywhere. "

"Absolutely beautiful property, loved the walk from the main square to the beach. Beach was great, the option of an ocean swim to a pool swim was perfect! Pools were clean and very nice. Rooms were beautiful, so spacious and well kept. "

"This entire trip was a 12/10. The pick up at the airport was divine. Santi, Ricardo, and Bernardo, Freddy were amazing and took such good care of us. A trip to remember. One of my complaints was the all-inclusive, wasnt really all inclusive. Food on menu was not all included and when we arrived there was beer and sodas in our room. As the days went by, the less things were less resrockdd. We never got beer resrockedm"

"We had a suite, it was nice and spacious; had a really nice view. The staff was helpful and very friendly and welcoming. "

"We just got home from a very nice week at the Royal Haciendas! The resort was even nicer than we expected. We had a suite room and it was perfect to have the separate room with 2 single beds for the 2 kids. The food was good and nobody got sick from any of the food which was great. There was a lot of staff always there to help with anything we needed. It was free to use life jackets, pool noodles, snorkeling gear etc. which was a nice touch. The resort isn't too big which was nice with young kids as you didn't have to walk too far to get anywhere. The only con is the ocean is blocked off by sand bags which were a bit of an eyesore. Overall we really loved this resort and would highly recommend it! "

"The shower was a mess and the shower head wasn't working. The water was coming out except from where it was supposed to come out, and the water splashed all over the bathroom while taking a bath. I spent 10-15 after the shower drying the floors because the shower glass didn't do the work. Terrible thing to do while on vacation. This place needs to update their showers INMEDIATELY. "

"The resort is very family focused if you are not in the Adult only section. Most activities are dedicated to the children, and there are many different things for them to do. Excellent programs and activities daily. The pools are lovely, the kids pool with the pirate ship could be cleaner. The accommodations were excellent. We had a swim up pool with adjoining rooms. The beach is great, rough most days and they were constantly cleaning up the seaweed. The food was OK. I would suggest that the adult only restaurants were excellent, great service and food but the others were mediocre and very difficult to secure a reservation. They all had kids menus and the choices I felt were limited and the quality passable. The buffet was ok, lots of choices but I have to say the staff had a full-time job keeping things clean with so many children dropping food and spilling things. And they did a good job of it most of the time. Overall, I felt that the resort was totally focused on keeping the kids happy, and adults were a little neglected. I would have liked some entertainment at the main pool, perhaps some music. "
