"We did have a good time and enjoyed meeting people from different parts of the world. The resort was mediocre, nothing really bad but nothing really good either. The food at the buffet was hit and miss (mostly miss), we had breakfast and dinner there and the selection was not up to the level I would expect from this level of resort. The restaurants in order of best to worst, Japanese, Mexican then Italian (this is taking into account quantity and quality of the food, people with small appetite should enjoy the italian). The room was good and clean, upon arrival we had a couple small problems in the room which they fixed within the hour. The most disappointing thing was the beach or the lack of one. Unfortunately it is eroding away which is not the resorts fault but since we really enjoy long strolls on the beach it was really a down fall. There was a lot of pieces of wood stuck out of the sand so that you had to be very careful where you placed your foot and there was no going in the water not knowing what you could be stepping on. The one thing that the resort did wrong was the malfunctioning bank machine. For 5 days the bank machine was out of order, which probably not their fault again but they did not assist in anyway when we were $10 short on paying a taxi cab driver, we were willing to charge it to the room with a fee even. The poor driver had to wait while we walked around looking for someone to borrow the money from which was embarrassing to say the least. Yes, partly our fault for not having the money but it was only $10, finally the employee behind the front desk pulled out of his own pocket and loaned us the money. We were very grateful to this individual for taking a chance and trusting us. We did get the money by sneeking onto the resort next door and paid him back that same day. We just wished the resort had something in place with a malfunctioning bank machine. The shows were boring and would be something you would expect from a 2-3 star resort. The staff were all very nice and very friendly.
Would we return to this resort? Only if the price was half of what we paid so about $700 for 7 days would be about right.
Hope this helps."

"My boyfriend and I stayed for a week at the Ocean Maya Royale and were overall very pleased with our experience. We did upgrade to the privilege package for the more comfortable bedding (which was worth it for us). We also had wi-fi in our rooms with the package, which we found to be very helpful as we needed internet connection throughout our trip. Other than that, we did not feel like we needed any of the other 'perks' of the privilege package, and it is an extra $300/person, so that is something to consider. We were very happy with our room and the room service. The staff was very attentive to our needs; we did have some little bugs crawling in the room from the porch and they came immediately to spray them. Other than that we had zero problems with our room and were very happy with it. Our rooms were cleaned every morning and were pristine upon our return.
Overall, the resort was very nice. The food was excellent, especially the Italian and Japanese restaurants. The staff were very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The resort is definitely on the smaller side, which is something we enjoyed. For people who want to come for a big party, I would not recommend this hotel. But, for a relaxing week it was great and we really enjoyed our stay.
The one thing we wanted more of was entertainment! There were some fun shows but they were held by only a few members of the staff, which was less than we expected. We were hoping to see some bigger, more extravagant shows. We spent about half of the trip off of the resort scuba diving, and I feel we may have been bored if we were just at the resort all day, every day. Make sure to plan some excursions away from the resort!"

"I must admit, going into this deal, I had a few reservations about doing an 'all inclusive ' resort package trip. The resort on the beach in Mexico was absolutely fabulous. From the moment we stepped out of the shuttle car and arrived at the resort, we never stopped being served. The resort grounds were extensive, beautifully landscaped and cared for tropical plants and flowers of every imaginable variety. I cannot begin to say enough about the staff there. Every single person we encountered at the Ocean Maya Royale............... from the front desk clerk, to the poolside waiter, to the man working on the grass, was friendly and courteous. Always smiling, saying hello, asking if there was anything they could do for us. American customer service personnel could learn a lot from these people! There were two beach side pools within 50 yards of the beach, one of which had a bar right next to it.............one side of the bar being lowered to pool level, so you could sit IN the pool next to the bar and be served wonderful mojitos. There was a great variety of food, with 4 seperate on site restaurants, and all very fresh and well prepared. This was one of the best vacation experiences I've ever had!!! Me and my entire family were completely satisfied with the entire experience. I highly recommend this spot to future vacationers!"

"Staff was wonderful from checkin, poolside, beachfront, bartending, restaurants, dive shop and check out. The only regrettable mistake I made was using the ATM. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE USE THE ATM IN THE HOTEL! Although the staff will encourage you and state there is only a $6 atm fee....don't be fooled! The exchange rate while I was there was 12 pesos/$1 US. The exchange rate on the ATM was almost 16%, which ended up costing me $86 to withdraw $400 which I didn't actually need....what a waste of money! I walked away with a great experience with the hotel and staff, wonderful dive trip and a terrible experience with the ATM, the good outweighs the bad in my review. :)"

"The overall trip was AMAZING! I loved it and I would definitley stay at this BEAUTIFUL resort again. The grounds are so colorful and gorgeous and we loved the iguanas and other wildlife. This resort does not have the best beaches but you can walk 10 minutes to the left and be at a really pretty lagoon where you can rent kayaks and go up the river into the coves. That is defintily worth doing. You can also walk 20-30 minutes to the right and be at beautiful emerald blue water beaches. The beach at the resort isnt bad by any means its just not the prettiest you will see in the area. However we walked a few miles to the right and our resort was the prettiest one we saw in our opinion. The staff was great HOWEVER service in the resteraunts is definitley slow. They do not have the staff to accomodate the guest so if you want to eat before 9PM, get to the restaraunts when they open or quite early. If you dont, you may or may not even get a reservation. The resort has a few kinks to work out but overall we thought it was amazing and we would recomment to stay there. We loved the pools and tiki bar. Dancing at night was a blast. Best trip Ive ever taken!! The shuttle and taxi service was excellent and safety was never a concern to us even outside the resort. We felt completely safe. My only complaint is I wish to pools stayed open just a little later as well as the tiki bar. Sometimes your just having to much fun and dont want to leave at 8pm. LOVED IT!!!"

"My wife and I just returned from our vacation. This was our third trip to Riviera Maya and first time staying in Ocean Maya Royale. Overall we have had a good time. The resort is ok, but not good as we expected watching the video on the Internet/ There are some con's and pro's
Pro's
a) adults only
Con's
a) food was not good as expected (very limited choice of dishes)
b) beaches so/so (access to the ocean is so limited)
c) poor room service (having taken the tips, the room was not cleaned. we had to call the front desk and ask for the room service).
d) basic evening entertainment (very simple)
f) water pressure in the room was very low (both shower and toilet)"

"We Just got home from Mexico, and our stay at the Grand Ocean Maya Royale was wonderful. The hotel is very clean and the staff is very nice. My only complaint is the bed was extremely hard. My husband said that we were just sleeping on a box spring with no mattress. We met some great people here at the hotel from different places around the world, and one couple says you have the ability to request a pillow top for your room and the staff will accomidate you. I would also suggest that if you stay here, read the book in your room so you can be aware of what is available to you, the staff was not very informative at check -in."

The Food was very good. It met and exceeded our expectations. Everyone was very helpful and friendly and always smiling. our room was kept spotless and our waiter kept us smiling and our bellies full at the Mexican restaurant. our drinks were flowing at the lobby bar and we were always greeted with a smile at the entrance. All the employees greeted everyone with a smile, an hola and buenas dias whenever they passed.The Privledge Package was well worth the money, also."

"This resort was very relaxing, which is just what we needed. Arrived on May 5th, stayed six nights. The staff took very good care of us, and the rooms were clean. Food was good overall, and I found plenty of items on the buffet that were fresh, and tasted good. Japanese, and Mexican restaurant were both very good! (Ronny was a great waiter, as were all the staff). Not very impressed with the Italian though. One thing I will say is the beef is not very good, as with all resorts we have stayed in Mexico. So don't get steak! The beach is not a great swimming beach, but nice excursions to horse shoe reef for snorkeling, and Playa Del Carmen is very close by. All adult was a plus. We upgraded to privilege , and found the upgrade well worth it. The shows were cute, not Broadway material, but fun to watch. Smaller, relaxing quiet resort compared to many. Would recommend if you want to just relax."

"the hotel was very comfortable, from beds to various chairs through out the resort. the outdoor beds by the ocean were absolutely amazing!!!!! The rooms were nice, cleaned daily. ocean was not as bad as the previous reviews said it was. if a storm was rolling in the seaweed came with it, on nice days there was not any seaweed. nice walking beach. ceynotes at the end of the beach were amazing. italian restaurant was amazing!!! Hibachici was a great show, and really great food. Most staff spoke little english. resort seemed under staffed and some staff were not very friendly. there was a small wait at the bars due to one or two bar tenders working. they could use more bar tenders. buffet was good... always had a chef cooking up fresh meat or seafood. only saw one show- from what we saw it was great. the resort allows people to set up to sell souviners on the lobby deck- they would harrass you to buy things."

"This resort is among the best all inclusive's we've encountered. The staff, from the dining room, to the bar, to the pool, were so friendly and knowledgable. The food at the al la carte restaurants was good and the presentation of each dish was beautiful. The wait staff worked like clockwork. A BIG thing.. the restrooms at the pool areas, and by the lobby bar were sooo clean. They were cleaned at least once an hour. Drinks were good, and quite a selection of speciality drinks available. The buildings housing the rooms are such a great thing. They are spread out so you don't feel crowded. The grounds are also immaculate. The room was small, but pretty with a balcony and a great shower. Our only bad experience was in checking in. We got, probably the only person on the entire staff, that was bad. He did not give any info about the resort, our key did not work (3 times), did not give us a safe key. When we asked about an upgrade, he did not seem to know anything about it. Too bad, as we were interested. Had he spent only 5 minutes with us, we could have had alot of questions answered. We have his name, but I won't mention it, except he had a bandage on his arm. Manager should get rid of him!! Last thing, the areas around the fountain by the lobby are wonderful. Great seating for just a drink, or conversation. Evenings there was a Saxaphone player who was so very good. Nice, easy music. Overall, we will probably return to this resort. After 11 years of coming to this area, we think we found one to return to. Did not like the 2 tier system of guests.. I did not see any benefit in being 'privileged' section. I think it is all in making money for the resort. A room upgrade would be fine, but $80. per day is a bit much for the benefits which were not visible. Save your money or tip more."

"My wife and I have been going to that area of Mexico for over 10 years now and have stayed in a number of different all inclusives. I liked the layout of the Grand Ocean Maya. The beaches, pools and eating areas were in close proximity to our room. The main lobby offered entertainment and had a continuous water spout and pool during the day and evening. It was very relaxing. The entertainment was very good and done very professionally. The workers were all very courteous and kind to us. The facilities were very well kept and clean. The beach area was covered with sea weed due to the prevailing winds, but you could walk for miles in either direction to get away from the sea weed. Workers were out there daily removing the sea weed, but it came back with the prevailing winds during the evening. The pool was great. Not too warm or cold. Very clean and it was relaxing to be in and I enjoyed the pool facilities. I would go back next year."

"My husband and I had a good time, but there were several things that could have been better. First the negatives:
a) The bed and pillows were very hard
b) The water pressure very low
c) The food at the Mexican restaurant was horrible and the service even worst. I was very disappointed with both.
d) Horrible beach. if you want to see white sand and beautiful blue/green water like you see it in Cancun, that's not the place to go. The water is dark and full of see weeds. I was really expecting a nice beach that I could lay out all day and have lots of drinks coming to me...it didn't happen at the beach. Huge disappointment!
e) The front desk people were not very friendly. They seemed to be in a bad mood all the time.
The positives:
a) Beautiful landscape
b) Nice to see the animals walking around. We saw many iguanas, some coati, and a little raccoon. Very cute!
c) GREAT food at the italian restaurant. We went there twice and both times and had the same waiter. What a nice and personable guy he is. We even took pictures with him. Wonderful service and food.... Both girls were very helpful and friendly. We wished we could bring them home with us :-)
e) Clean rooms
f) No screaming/crying kids running around
If we could put this hotel in a nice beach and improve a few things, I would go back there again, but since I'm a big beach girl, I won't go back there again.
I would have given a 5 to staff efficiency if we had gotten better service at the Mexican restaurant.
I would have given a 5 to staff friendliness if it wasn't for the horrible service we received at the Mexican restaurant and the not so friendly front desk people.

"It is a great resort overall, but there is no beach, which did not improve our stay. We did pay for the privilege upgrade, but we did not see the benefit, except for the free internet in the room.
The wait staff, especially at the Privilege section on the beach, was spectacular. She was timely, helpful, paid attention to detail, and was bringing us all of the ice and drinks we wanted. She was awesome.
She deserves to be recognized!
We would only return here for an outstanding price! We want a beach, better food quality, and more privileges with the upgrade.

We loved it! The lobby is completely renovated & beautiful. The rooms are spacious & beautiful, the food is really good. The staff is absolutely great, from front desk, to animation...they are very friendly!! The beach is nicer on the right side. The 2 pools are great. I would recommend this resort for couples, groups or families. The animation at night is fun. Playa Del Carmen is 6 km from the resort. You can use the shuttle from the resort everyday at 12pm and come back at 5pm, if not by taxi $10us. I would definately go back!!"

"We had a fabulous vacation. It was our first time at an all-inclusive resort and were pleasantly surprised by the friendly, attentive and accomodating staff. All we had to worry about was when to eat, sleep and drink. Meals were all tasty, elegantly served and visually appealing, with a selection for all tastes. Jorge, our waiter in El Charro, the Mexican restaurant, was especially friendly and entertaining! We loved our room and the view (If you go, be sure to check the thermostat. It has a timer feature that will turn off the compressor at a set time, regardless of temp setting, unless the timer is set to zero.) My wife had a massage that she says was the best she'd ever had (and she's had several), and she even got a henna tatoo! The nightly floor show was a little unpolished, but so what! We had fun! We'll go to Broadway if we want to see a Broadway show. The property was beautifully appointed and well-kept and we enjoyed seeing the resident iguanas and lemurs. And we escaped Hurricane/TS Rina in the nick of time. What more could we ask?!"

"I bought this trip as a gift for my boyfriend. We could not of had such a better time. It was peaceful and relaxing. So many different excursions to do. I would recommend this hotel for anyone that just wants to get away for some one on one time with your significant other or even a group of your adult friends!"

"Was at Ocean Maya Royale from 9/16-24 2011.Had a wonderful time. Loved my room I had an ocean/pool veiw it was beautiful. The whole staff was great from check in to check out. The only problem was the bugs had a lot of mosquitoes got biten up alot even with bug spray, think they need to spray more. But overall it was a great trip. This was the first time I used Bookit to book a trip and everything was just fine. I will use you again. Thank You"

"I would say the only downside to this trip for us was the food. There are three restaurants at the resort. The best one was the Japanese restaurant, which we had dinner at three times in 5 nights! We never got a chance to eat at the Italian restaurant for dinner, but we did have the breakfast buffet each morning and one dinner at the other more 'American' restaurant. This was your standard buffet food, nothing to write home about. Actually some of it was just not really good.
Other than that, the resort was really good. The pool and beach were beautiful. The staff was very friendly and accommodating."

"Only draw back with this resort is that the restaurants have low air conditioning. Not pleasant for dining when you are too hot. The food was nothing exceptional but was fair. Upgraded to the privilege suite which in my mind wasn't worth the extra fee. Air conditioning in that building was awful, moved to 2 rooms there, same thing. Finally was moved to a ocean front deluxe suite which had great air conditioning. I would recommend gettitn a deluxe oceanfront suite, very nice. All in all was not a bad experience. The staff went out of there way to take care of any issues. They had a wonderful beach there and pools and bar area."

"We booked our trip last minute and I must say, choosing the Ocean Maya, was the BEST choice we made. Why? The service was EXCEPTIONAL, FRIENDLY and WELCOMING! With four buffet restaurants to choose from, we never got board and the food was DELICIOUS! The Ocean View room was BEAUTIFUL, and housekeeping was FANTASTIC. The ENGERY at the poolside and on the beach was SUPERB! There was music, drinks, dancing, games. We ABSOLUTELY had the most AMAZING first time trip to Mexico. We have already said that we will definitively be going back to the Ocean Maya!! "
