The Royal Cancún

Overview

Description

The Royal Cancún is on a soft, white sand beach on the northern coast of Cancún. Its facilities offer spectacular views of the bay and Isla Mujeres. The Royal Cancun is the perfect place for a family vacation: palms and thatched huts provide sufficient shade on the beach, and the sea is shallow and the waves are gentle. Our gardens feature two large pools with bridges, a bar, and palm-covered islets. We have tennis courts, sailboats, and programmed activities to entertain children and adults, and there is a rose garden for those who prefer a peaceful setting for reflection.

Just a few steps from the sea is our restaurant La Palapa, a Cancún classic, loved by all for its traditional palapa (thatched hut) decor, casual setting, and delicious menu. Enjoy your breakfast, lunch, and dinner at this spectacular beach setting.

Rooms

201 rooms and comfortable suites are available in two sizes: two rooms and bath for up to five people, and the master suites with two rooms and two baths for up to six people. All have fully-equipped kitchens, living-dining room, and a private terrace with views of the beach, pools, gardens, and Laguna Nichupté.
