Amazing solo trip
Start with the negative: for me there were none. That being said if you are a beach person, this resort is not for you. They are battling seaweed every day and there is no place to go into the ocean. the board walk is nice, but again prevents you from going into the water. I didnt care since I am a pool person more than an ocean girl :-)
Plusses and for me there were tons. Everybody is extremely friendly, ready to help you with anything and everything. The restaurants (4) for dinner were all worth checking out. The Italian place (Dolce Vita) was my absolute favorite (you do have the seaweed smell, which doesnt bother me one bit) and then a close second is the Mexican restaurant. Blue Moon is excellent fine dining and the Japanese one is just that, high entertaining value but seen it and done it.
I checked in as a privilege guest and it was smooth and easy, try to skip the sales pitch, otherwise you loose 1.5h of your vacation time and who wants that. Breakfast can be a little on the light side, limited choices but still all good and you can snack all day through.
Pool area gets really crowded and with not enough chairs to go around, there is bit of a let down. All seats are reserved very early on and even though it says to not do that, people do and nobody prevents it, make friends with the pool people and you will be set :-) There always seem to be room on the beach though.... Pool itself is big enough and both the quieter and party pool are great hang out places.
I am definitely thinking about going back, with only about 20min from the airport, it was a great solo trip.
This was our third trip to Ocean Maya Royale and we have found it to be a very good value for the money. It's a "no frills" all inclusive. The drinks are good, the food is above average, and the staff members are friendly. Don't expect anything over the top but it's a great place to relax by the pool.
A couple of cons... Their beach has eroded so they built a boardwalk in front of the property (look at the pictures close and you'll see it.) We usually hang out by the pool so it's not an issue for us. Also, the spa people and the excursions lady come by while you're at the pool and can be a little persistent on asking if you want their services. It wasn't horrible but just a little irritating.
Took a 6 day 5 night vacation with friends and couldn’t have picked a better resort to go to for my first trip to Mexico. All the staff was extremely helpful except for the front counter personnel that was very unwilling to exchange currency. All the restaurant and bar tenders were absolutely amazing, friendly and go above n beyond for the guests.
The breakfast buffet really needs to be open a little earlier for guests that are going out on excursions. Wasn’t any time to get much food and on the bus from 7 to 710 am.
For full disclosure, this was my first ever all-inclusive resort experience, so I don't have much to compare to.
Overall: I loved the trip and I loved the resort.
The rooms are nice. Tile floors, comfortable beds, clean rooms and a small mini bar in each room. The maids did a great job for us.
The pools (2) were both very nice. We didn't spend much time in the quiet pool, but felt like it would be really nice if you were interested in it. The "party" pool was generally pretty busy with a swim up bar and water volleyball. Downside: They didn't always have music playing. Music would have been nice even when there wasn't an event going on.
The ocean at the resort is accessible, but it isn't the tropical teal water you're dreaming of. Seaweed can also be an issue here.
With the food some places were better than others, but they had a nice variety of options. The best 2 places for food....Italian and the Japanese restaurants. The buffet style place is good, but it is what you would expect from a buffet.
PRO TIPS:
1. Bring your own sunscreen. It's $25 (US) in the giftshop.
2. Bring your own cup. It's nice to have a lid and not have to go to the bar every 10min for an 8oz drink.

To receive a price for upgraded amenities please contact our existing reservations department at 1.800.915.2322.
DanielleCC
Don't quote me but I think they said $40/day. We got the upgraded room for free because they had availability when we asked at check-in.
BTW- All the specialty restaurants are normally first-come first-served so there was no problem with reservations.
LuckyMe
They charge 20 per person per day but that gives you access to just the Privilege past of the beach and a sectioned off part of the rest. I didn't think it was really worth it but that was my opinion.
soulofmazda
$20 per person per day
mogi
Does the upgraded wrist bands include the better liquors or top shelf?

You are able to upgrade when you are there without a problem. I believe it was $40pp per night. It was worth it for me.

Number of rooms at Ocean Maya Royale? When will Italian restaurant re-open?4 answers
6 years, 82 months ago
CJfromGA
Hi CJ,
The Ocean Maya Royale has a total of 320 rooms. The La Dolce Vita restaurant which was closed in May due to a fire is still serving the Italian menu but in a different location within the resort.
ccsusan1
I'm not sure on the # of rooms, but they have 37 separate buildings, with at least 4 rooms (some had more) in each. The Italian restaurant was open when we went the last week of September.
GoBlue5
There are a number of Bungalos that have 8 rooms each and then there is a privelege club hotel style building. Google online for a resort map. If the resort is overbooked, they send people to their neighboring resort, Ocean Coral and Turquesa.

Ocean Maya Royal resort in Maya Riviera7 answers
These are specific questions regarding the ocean maya royal resort.
Some reviews say there is NO swim up bar, while others say there is... what's the big idea (Jerry Seinfeld voice). Is there a swim up bar? Another question... is it true that some food items cost extra money? I thought it was all inclusive. Also, does anyone know how late they serve alcohol? My girlfriend and I are 25 years old, we both graduated from UW-Madison... so we like to party. Also, do they have good nightime activities, like bands or DJ's? If so, how late?

Mattikuss
This resort does have a swim up bar in one of the pools. All the meals and drinks are included in the all inclusive package. Food and room service is available 24/7, and alcohol is served 8AM to 2:30AM . There are many daily activities offered. Live music is offered in the lobby from 8PM, a live show at 9:30 and the disco is open until 2:30AM.
ccsusan1
They do have a swim up bar - with 6 chairs but no bartender. You have to go around to the front and take it back in with you. We didn't have to pay extra for anything except if we went into the hotel store. The pool bar closed early - by the time it got dark and i think the hotel bar was still open at midnight when we walked through but not sure how late they were open. The only nighttime activity we saw was a sax player - he was very good and they have a theatre that had "broadway" shows but they weren't that good.
brewgirl
Sorry for the spelling amd grammer. Im writing this from my phone. There is a swim up bar. They did not charge us for anything as far as food because it is an all inclusive resort. You may have to pay for top shelf alcohol if your not in the privilege all inclusive package. The night life in the resort was terrible. After the scheduled shows the theater turns into a dance club or karaoke but no one showd up. My wife and i are in our 20's and stayed her with a group if friends and had a blast. But if its just the two of you.. you may want to try somewhere else. Our group kinda made our own fun. The lobby bar is open all night and the pool bar closes as 5 or 6. That being said this
you is a great place to go for a good price. But if yall really want to go wild, get to the pool early and stay there all day. Its really fun out there. Hope this helps
NCBOHUNK
There is a swim up bar. All food is included. My children were out till around three.
Herbie
There is a swim up bar, and we drank til 2am I don't know what happens after that lol we went to our room but drinking all day you may not want to stay out til 2am. Pool was fun w good music. Nighttime is fun w shows to see if u want or just hang out and drink.
AmyJamie
No swim up bar but close. You have to get up out of the water to proceed to continue drinking. Items that cost extra would be the lobster diner which I only know of because we had that. They serve alcohol at the main bar inside practically all day and night...others have set times. Night time activities..eh..pretty sucky if u ask me...for party animals.
Peto
There is one swim up bar that opens at 10am and closes at 6pm. The lobby bar is open 24 hours. We have never paid for anything there and tips are not necessary either. There is a priveleg club, but you don't need to be a part of it to have a good time. There is a show every night and dancing in the courtyard follows. There is a bus that takes everyone to the Coco Bongo club every night for an extra fee. The show is from 9-10 pm and then dancing till about midnight. If you participate in the pool games, you have a good chance of winning tickets to the Coco Bongo club.
hat23
Yes, there are two pools at the resort and one pool has a swim up bar and the other (which is considered the more relax pool) does not have a swim up bar, but there is a waitress that comes by and gets you drinks.
It is all inclusive, we didn't have to pay for anything extra. At a few of the restaurants there is the option for pay for wine or some of the more expensive meats, but for there are several options included within the all inclusive package. There is a bar open 24 hours, but there isn't a lot of partying going on. There isn't a club there so again, there isn't a lot of partying going on. My Fiancé and I were very disappointed as we're around that age and wanted a place to dance but there was no such place!

How do you commute from hotel to attractions?5 answers
I noticed on the map that this hotel is kind of far from the highway. How do you get to public transportation from the hotel? Is there a shuttle from the hotel?

Houston
Transportation to Playa del Carmen is provided twice daily, a reservation required the day prior and space is limited.
KellyCC
We used the taxi service from the resort to Playa Del Carmen. Which was always available & easy to use. There is also the Collectivo, which we did not try, but would if & when we go again. We used 2 different services for our day trips. We use Experience Xcaret for our zip-lining & snorkeling and Yuka Treks for our trip to Chichen Itza. I would recommend both. If you plan a trip to the ruins & want a personal touch, Yuka Treks is the way to go, the tour guides are educated and entertaining.
lcowdrey
There is public transportation, cabs and the hotel offers trips.
Herbie
The hotel has jet skis and a boat to take you places. The hotel takes people into Playa del Carmen once a day. Other than that, you can get a taxi or in the lobby there will be people that schedule transportation as part of your excursions and you will be picked up at the resort. The resort also has a party bus that goes to Coco Bongo every night.

Yes, maybe a 15 minute drive North from the resort to Puerto Morelos.
lcowdrey
It is about 15 min down the highway from Puerto Morelos. i wouldn't recommend walking from the resort to Puerto Morelos as once you hit the part where the river meets the ocean, it is not extremely developed. This resort is in between Playa Del Carmen and Puerto Morelos.

The resort is approximately a 10 minute drive from Playa del Carmen where there is much to do on the famous 5th Avenue. The resort is also approximately a 30 minute drive from the nightlife of downtown Cancun.

25 minutes to Playa Del Carmen, 30 to Cancun. Resort also has a coco bongo nighttime activity where you can go to all the clubs for a set rate and get vip treatment.
MicheleLogan
About 20 minutes into Playa Del Carmen. It is easy to get a taxi, the resort will be happy to help. The resort does provide entertainment nightly, but there is no real night club at this resort.
lcowdrey
They are all close and the hotel offers trips to all three.
Herbie
The closest nightlife, dancing and shopping is Playa del Carmen, about 10 minutes taxi ride away. We rented a car and stopped there on the way back from the ruins.
It is very touristy, but really well laid out and looks just great. Blocks and blocks of restaurants, shops, bars, nightclubs, etc. Also, it felt very safe in the tourist area (which is called 5th Avenue).

It's about 10 min to "5th Avenue" by cab.

No one was topless when we were there (too bad!). It is adults only, and there were no signs on the beach either way.
Last time I was in Mexico, most beaches were topless.

On the beach I saw two topless women. Not at the pool. Who cares unless your a pervert looking to see boobs. Sunshine and drinks are what matters. If you can't go vacation without a bikini top on then you got problems.

You betch ya. My wife goes topless every time we go and I love to get out there in nothing but a thong. Wear sunblock though, you don't want a burn. She walks the beach in both directions topless as well.

does this resort provide transportation to and from the airport? And do you need to tip a lot once you're at the resort?6 answers
5 years, 69 months ago
Pennsylvania
The resort does not offer complimentary transfers, however when booking a vacation package with us you can choose to add the round-trip transfers to your reservation for an additional cost. Tipping at the resort is completely at your discretion.
KristinCC
No it does not, I suggest USA Transfers. And you don't have to tip once, we did for a few servers who went above and beyond what we felt, but just a few dollars here and there. Everything's all inclusive!
MicheleLogan
I am not sure if the resort provides transportation. We booked our shuttle through Cheap Caribbean with Olympus Tours, they were very easy to locate at the airport & easy to work with for organizing our return trip.
We only tipped a few dollars at the resort. I think overall we spent maybe 40 dollars for 11 days. It is not necessary, but felt it was a nice way to let the staff know they were appreciated. There were several guests that didn't tip.
lcowdrey
I don't know if the resort itself provides transportation, but they can get you a cab. We just booked our transportation through CheapCarribbean when we booked the resort. As for tipping, we tipped our bartenders, waiters, and servers $2-$3 for the first couple of times. They remembered us and I think we got better service because of it. We didn't really notice a lot of other people doing it though. It's not required, but you get more flies w/ honey, or money, as the case may be.
GoBlue5
No, we booked when we booked trip on cheap Caribbean. We tipped some but wouldn't have had too.
Herbie
No, the resort does not provide transportation, but it is easily arranged. It is recommended to arrange it in advance (to avoid the groups at the airport trying to sell you time shares...stay away from them!). CheapCaribbean arranged for us to use Olimpus Travel for the return trip and they were great and not very expensive at all.
We did tip quite often, a dollar or so for rounds of drinks and a couple of dollars at the restaurants. Less than at home, but still we did tip. The staff really seemed to appreciate the tips. That being said, I would say that I saw about half of the people tip regularly (not that I was paying that much attention).

Even though the Ocean Maya is an adults only resort, Mexico has strict sunbathing laws and topless sunbathing is not allowed on many properties.

I also would have thought these were both topless being an "adult only" resort but ...I did not see anyone there topless.

No, it is a friendly resort. No wild party animals taking off their tops. Unless this is something your interested I'm sure you can find a quiet section on the beach far from the resort.
DesMarie
You can go topless at the pool although not many people do. My wife went topless on the beaches a mile in both directions and ocasionally went to the bar topless as well. My friend and I wore tiny thongs the whole time from the room to the pool to the beach and one day we wore nothing but tiny sombreros covering our privates. The entertainment staff worshiped us for our bravery. A good majority of couples here are from Europe so toplees is very accepted.

They do provide you with snorkeling gear. The lagoon three resorts to the left is nice for snorkeling. It is where the fresh water meets the salt water. You have to go down below the salt line to see clear though. They also offer a boat ride out to the reef for $40 that is excellent. Better than snorkeling at Cozumel

According to the resort's website, the rooms have air conditioning.
MariaCC
Yes, I kept mine at about 73 F although their temps are in Celcius. In order to keep it running, you need to leave a room card in the slot by the door.
hat23
yes, but you do have to put the room keys in an electronic dock on the wall for all the electricity to work...only select lights work without that. It took us two days to figure out why our outlets and many lights didn't work. So I suspect the AC is connected to that as well.

Privilege Wi-Fi is good on the beach near the Italian resturant.

How is the beach in the resort like? Water and sand clean?6 answers

Luluca new york, NY
Certain weather conditions can certainly change the beach water depending upon the time of year traveling.
MariaCC
the water was a little murky and filled with algae near the wall.
However, there are beaches near Playa del Carmen and Cancun that are turquoise and clear with white sand. Each resort is a little different so check the reviews and pictures.
Mikeinfwtx
The water can be murky and the beach is small
Torgan
I was hoping for the typical Caribbean see-through bright blue water too...it isn't. I think the "murky/dirty" in the water really depends on the time of year and of course the tide. We went Sept 3-10 and the water was quite clean and the beach was def clean and well kept. If you are looking for the crystal clear turquoise water you might want to try a whole different resort/location...best of luck :)
MSUgirl
The water was extremely murky filled with lots of alge. No turquoise waters at this location. Not much of a place to swim either. The sand however is white.
Randillous
If you are a beach lover, I would advise to look elsewhere. The beach wasn't great! It was very dirty and had a lot of algae. We actually decided against going to the beach. There isn't a real good beach area where you could go into the water, so we decided against going the beach and went to Tulum instead.

A shirt with sleves and shorts or long pants with shoes. No bathing suits or T-Shirts
Mikeinfwtx
Most men were wearing dress shorts or long pants and resort type shirts
Torgan
In the room there is a book and it lists what is expected, we got nervous because we did not bring long pants (which are supposed to be required for men) but NOTHING is followed! Dress nicely/casual and you should be set. Girls quite often wear dresses, men in khaki shorts, polo or button up shirt....I have even seen just tees.
MSUgirl
Nice pants and a dress shirt, the shirt can be short sleeved. The dress we saw was not at all that formal. I think the only place that was even that concerned about dress up clothing was the Italian resturant, and people were underdressed compared to us.
Randillous
The only restaurant with a specific dress code (more then just wearing shoes/shirt/bottoms that aren't a bathing suit) is Blue Moon, we were told on check in that men had to wear pants and nice shoes, however I did see men wearing shorts and sneakers get in fine. My boyfriend wore khakis and dress shoes with a button down. At the other restaurants he usually wore shorts and a polo.

Ocean Maya has a private beach area with velvety sands.

There's a beach front for you to walk into the ocean. The sand is amazing, the actual ocean isn't the best. One side of the beach water is completely brown from all the seaweed pileup. The popular side of the beach where people tan and relax and swim in is better, though, but not the best beach I've ever been to.

Unfortunately, we do not have the rates for taxi cab services within any destination. We do offer round-trip airport transfer service at an additional cost. Transfer pricing can be viewed during the online booking process. If you should have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to call one of our Beach Experts at #1-800-915-2322.

The hotel has special arrangements where if you arrive in the lobby at noon, for 10USD/person, you can ride into Play del Carmen and be picked up at 5 p.m. So it's 10USD round trip. We used this service and it was extremely helpful. They provide a list of costs from the hotel to many other destinations and can hire a private car for you to take you there and back.

This hotel includes unlimited food and drinks at its restaurants, but some dining restrictions may apply. Please check with the front desk upon arrival for further details. You may also contact one of our Beach Experts for hands-on information at 1.800.915.2322.
SamCC
Yes. I tried 3 of them and they were all good.

No. There is 1 restaurant reserved for "Priviledged" guests. Also, you can reserve a special private dinner either beach or pool side at an additional fee. However, EVERY OTHER RESTAURANT IS INCLUDED. There is an Italian restaurant, a Mexican restaurant, and a Japanese restaurant. There is a buffet poolside for lunch, and one near the lobby that serves both breakfast and lunch. Do not think you will go hungry. We were there for 5 nights and didn't manage to try all the different places for dinner - and the Itilian restaurant blew our minds. STUNNING.

Bathrooms4 answers
Is it true they ask you to trow away toilet paper instead of traditional flushing after use?
3 years, 38 months ago
Island Guy
Plumbing in the Caribbean is not up to the same quality as it is in the United States; as a result, resort management may impose restrictions on the use of toilets to ensure the facilities remain in top form.
If you have any further questions, please call us at 1.800.915.2322.
SamCC
The signs were posted in the bathrooms, however, they are talking about toilet paper used for blowing your nose, etc.
hollykannady
Yes. It's true. There is a sign next to the toilet that asks to not put toilet paper into WC (water cooler=toilet).
Blackhawk
No, you can flush.

Bathroom Privacy5 answers
My husband and I have been to a few places in the Caribbean and found that a lot do not have a full door or separate toilet room. A lot of the time it is just a frosted glass door that doesn't go all the way up or even in a separate room. Is this resort like that as well, or is there a separate bathroom from the bedroom?
3 years, 37 months ago
starbaby16
We recommend checking out pictures on www.tripadvisor.com - search for the resort and then traveler photos - there is a whole album specific to bathroom pictures. Most pictures seem to indicate the shower and toilet portion are together in a separate area divided by frosted glass.
CCGreg
The toilet and shower room are separated from the sink area by a frosted glass door.
Mickster
Unfortunately, that is the case. The rooms have a swinging frosted glass door like you described. I often went to lobby bathrooms for more privacy where there were separate marble fully enclosed stalls.
Hope this helps.
Joneskj
I seen both at the Ocean Maya Royale. My room had a full wooden door that separated the toilet room from the sink area, my sisters had a partially frosted glass door between the two rooms. Also to note, the shower and the toilet was in one room separated from the vanity/sink room.
BtheBaum
The bathroom has a full size frosted door that separates the shower/toilet from the sink.

the entertainment group puts on different shows. We saw a Broadway show - the team dressed up lip-syncing, a Madonna night, there was also a fire show, a couple of local bands with dancing even a casino night. Given the small size of the resort I was pleased with the entertainment

There are many exciting excursions offered at this resort! They do offer an excursion that is Chichen Itza w/ lunch, as well as multiple water excursions. To look at a various excursions offered, go to the resort on cheapcaribbean.com, go through like you're booking a new trip until you get to the excursions tab.
JeannieCC
I did not experience the motor boating but we did hire a taxi (Avis) for 24 hrs, drove from our hotel to Coba (1hr 45mins) Ruins, and then 30 mins down to Tulum, lunch stop there and onto the Ruins for a long walkabout, with enough time to hit Playa del Carmen shops on the way back to hotel, 10-11 hr trip, totally worth it!

Early Check In2 answers
Can you ask for an early check in?
If so how does this work ?
1 year, 22 months ago
Taylor
You absolutely can, however the resort may charge extra for that or deny early check-in. With most resorts, even if they do not allow early check-in, they will most often hold your bags at the front desk and allow you on the property until your room is ready.
JeannieCC
Not available. We had to wait until 3 PM and we arrived at the resort around 1!:30 AM. The front desk were extremely rude whenever I would check in to see if something had become available.

It depends on your mode of transportation. We went on a small shared van through AmStar. We were one of the first couples to be dropped off, so it only took ~30-40 minutes. However, we met another couple who took a large charter bus from the airport and were some of the last people to be dropped off. They said it took almost 2 hours.

House wine is included and it's decent. You can pay for nicer bottles of wine. The liquor selection is pretty nice. The top shelf liquors are restricted to only those who pay for the privilege package. They had smirnoff for vodka, beefeater gin, hornitos tequila.

all Top shelf in the privilege package.

I didn't drink their wine but liquor (vodka) they had a bottom shelf that ive never seen/drank before and Smirnoff. If you want something better you have to pay extra. I personally thought the included liquor wasn't too bad.
Lyons1889
Believe me, the selection of brands of alcohol are far ranging, and upgrading to get more lavish brands is unnecessary. Once you get there, and if you decide you want the higher end selection, you can upgrade for $100/day.

you snag a frosty daiquiri at the swim-up bar. Get your vitamins for the day by
stopping by the Fresco Bar for one of their famous fresh-fruit juice
concoctions, or rev up your engines at Mike's coffeehouse with a cup of joe.
With your fuel tank full, dive into the Caribbean, by scuba or snorkel, to
behold an underwater world teeming with vibrant marine life. Then, shake off
the salt water with a trip to the sports club for a tennis match with your
sweetie. If all the activity leaves you tired, rejuvenate at the Despacio Spa
with an Anti-Stress Massage, and you'll be ready for a wild night.

international cuisine, like the teppanyaki-style Japanese restaurant, Yookoso,
