Royalton Hideaway Riviera Cancun, An Autograph Collection All-Inclusive Resort– Adults Only

Paid for an upgrade and received a worse room than what I started with. The mirror was broken, the A/c didn’t work, and the tv didn’t work.

Excellent service and amenities recommend 100 adults only.

One of the worst resorts I’ve stayed at in Cancun. Terrible service and rude staff. Food and drinks were always late. Sometimes room service didn’t even show up. They constantly ran out of main ingredients. Staff was rude to guests when they were the ones who were slow or being neglectful. Truly didn’t feel welcome or like a valued guest.

This hotel was good. The food was okay, making reservations for the on site venues was a bit rough, as you have to download an app and do it online. When we went to make reservations, we found that most places were completely booked. We were able to book the fish restaurant once, and there wasn’t much fish on the menu. The buffet was the best eating option in my opinion. I loved my room with ocean view and terrace jacuzzi. It was amazing. I hopped in the hot tub while it was raining. I think I would book again just because of the terrace jacuzzi. The staff was okay as far as customer service. On our last day the swim up bar was supposed to be open at 10, and they kept delaying and did not open until 10:40. That frustrated me. I also had an instance where the gift shop closed early due to a power outage. One suggestion I would make is that this hotel get a charging station for guests. My friend and I both had instances where our chargers stopped working and we were both panicking to figure out a solution while on vacation. Overall I thought this was a great hotel. I loved the coffee shop. The pools were amazing. The entertainment was so wonderful. There was no need to leave with the club on site, my friend had a great time enjoying the resort.

There’s a lot I could say, but I’ll do some bullet points. Pros: -The property itself is well taken care of and beautiful. -The amount of pools and restaurants was fantastic. -The staff was pretty good too. Cons: -The property was so far from anything to go anywhere was cost way too much! We like to venture out, but if you want to just stick around the resort your good but… -The beach wasn’t much to right home about. Frankly it just wasn’t pretty at all, and the Hideaway bar area was under construction. (We stayed at the Hideaway adult only section) -It was too difficult to book dinner at the restaurants. You must be checked in with your room number on the app to make a reservation 2-3 days in advance, so they were booked already. Lucky we stayed for a week so our last three nights we were able to enjoy a few. Other than that, pretty much, the buffet is the only option, which was basically cafeteria food. -We had a swim up room. With our “mini-bar” consisting of only 2 beers, 2 sodas, and 4 bottled waters, we had to leave to go to the bar to get drinks. But it was fine, the water there was so cold we didn’t enjoy it much, and the massive cockroach on our patio didn’t really make us want to dive in. (He even made a video…did you know they could swim?) Needless to say, while the property is pretty, we definitely won’t be back.

Overall, the stay was disappointing. Service was subpar for a “5-star” resort. Food options at the pool areas was virtually non-existent and reservations were extremely difficult to secure on the app. In room mini fridge was only restocked 2/4 days we stayed. Room service was severely delayed from their stated times, probably due to the amount of people that couldn’t find reservations for the restaurants. We were told by many workers that they were short staffed due to ongoing renovations at the resort. For example, the swim up bar had 1 bartender on a Saturday servicing well over 100 guest. It was very disappointing to know the renovations were not disclosed when booking, as we would have chosen a different resort. For positives, the resort has a number of pools, and the fitness facilities were of high quality. Unfortunately, these positives didn’t outweigh the plethora of negatives in service and quality.
