Résumé des avis

Guests particularly appreciate the numerous swimming pools and water features, the quality and variety of the food, and the entertaining activities and activities. The rooms are considered beautiful, spacious, and well-equipped, and the overall cleanliness of the property is very satisfactory. The staff is also praised for their warm welcome, attentiveness, and excellent service. However, the beach is sometimes affected by seaweed, occasionally making swimming difficult.

Beautiful resort, but a bad customer experience.
Beau complexe, mais mauvaise expérience client

The resort is very beautiful and the à la carte restaurants are great. The beach could have been nice, but the presence of sargassum seaweed spoiled it. The smell is, let's face it, unbearable, but you eventually get used to it. The rooms are large and spacious. The pools are lovely, but the scramble for shaded chairs once again ruins the experience. I don't understand why resorts don't enforce certain rules, and I especially don't understand why guests show such a lack of consideration. People get up at 5 a.m. to put their towels on a chair, even though most people don't usually spend more than two hours there all day. Tons of towels on chairs that are half empty. Finally, we had an unwelcome visitor (a scorpion) in our room. They handled it well at first. They moved us to another room, but it was a long and unpleasant process. They made us sign papers, copies of which I've requested by email five or six times, and I'm still waiting. On several occasions, we asked for the sofa bed to be made up, as it hadn't been. Each time, we were told it would be done within 15 minutes, but each time we waited two or three hours and ended up having to go to reception to resolve the issue. Let's just say you need to be patient. However, the staff in the restaurants and bars are incredibly kind and competent.

Le complexe est très beau et les restos à la carte sont super. La plage pourrait être bien, mais la présence des sargasses est venue gâcher le portrait. L'odeur disons le est insupportable, mais on fini par s'y habituer. Les chambres sont grandes et spacieuses. Belles piscines, mais la course aux chaises à l'ombre vient encore une fois gâcher l'expérience. Je ne comprends pas les complexes de ne pas faire respecter certaines règles et je ne comprends surtout pas les clients de faire preuve de si peu de civisme. Les gens se lèvent à 5h du matin pour mettre leur serviette sur une chaise, alors que la majorité y passe généralement pas plus deux heures dans la journée. Une tonne de serviettes sur des chaises la moitié du temps inoccupé.
Enfin, nous avons eu la visite d'un indésirable (scorpion) dans notre chambre. Ils ont bien agit au départ. Ils nous ont changé de chambre, mais ce fut long et pénible. Ils nous ont fait signer des papiers dont j'ai demandé une copie par courriel 5 ou 6 fois et j'attends toujours. À plusieurs reprises, nous avons demandé de faire le sofa lit qui n'avait pas été fait. Chaque fois on nous dit oui ce serait fait dans les 15 prochaines minutes, mais chaque fois on attends 2 ou 3 heures et on finit par se déplacer à la réception pour régler le problème. Disons qu'il faut être patient. Les employés dans les restos et les bars sont toutefois super gentils et compétents.

The site is majestic
Le site est majestueux

The staff is friendly, welcoming, and competent. Spotlessly clean. Perfect air conditioning. Impeccable service. Excellent food in terms of both flavor and variety. More than a 5-star hotel. The beach is beautiful, but the seaweed is a real headache. The activities aren't original: it's all been done before. The same old Michael Jackson impersonator, bingo, karaoke…

Le personnel est « friendly and welcoming » et compétent. Super propre. Climatisation à point. Service impeccable. Nourriture excellente en saveur et en choix. Plus qu’un 5 étoiles.

La plage est belle mais les algues sont un vrai casse-tête.

Les activités ne sont pas originales : que du déjà vu. Le sempiternel faux-Michael Jackson, le bingo, le karaoke…

Family vacation
Vacances en famille

We stayed at the Royalton Riviera Cancun in the Diamond Club, in a one-bedroom presidential suite with an ocean view. The resort is beautiful, spacious, and easy to navigate. Our room was roomy, comfortable, and offered a magnificent ocean view. We particularly enjoyed Ruby from the entertainment team and Oscar, our butler, who provided excellent service whenever he was available. The food at the buffet was excellent and of good quality. However, the selection varied very little from day to day, so the meals became repetitive as our stay progressed. The main drawback is that, in our opinion, this hotel doesn't truly offer the level of service expected of a 5-star establishment. Several services and activities are offered at an extra cost, giving the impression that almost everything is extra, even when booking in the Diamond Club. The service was very inconsistent: sometimes excellent, but sometimes truly disappointing. We had a significant problem with the air conditioning in our room. No one came to check the unit or attempt to resolve the issue. We were simply told it was "as cold as possible." Our butler was off duty, and his replacement wasn't any more helpful. For a presidential suite in the Diamond Club, we expected much more attentive service. Also, be wary of Royalton representatives offering presentations related to the vacation program or timeshare. They can be pushy, which can become unpleasant when you just want to enjoy your vacation. The beach was affected by a large amount of sargassum seaweed and an unpleasant odor, which significantly limited the enjoyment of the sea. Finally, the clientele was predominantly American. The overall atmosphere, music, and activities were therefore more American than Caribbean or Latin American. For travelers seeking a truly Mexican or Caribbean experience, this hotel may not meet their expectations. In short, the location is beautiful, the presidential suite is magnificent, the food is good, and some employees, like Ruby and Oscar, really make a difference. However, the service lacks consistency, several elements are extra and the overall experience does not, in our opinion, correspond to the advertised 5-star level.

Nous avons séjourné au Royalton Riviera Cancun en Diamond Club, dans une suite présidentielle une chambre avec vue sur la mer.

Le site est très beau, de belle dimension et facile à parcourir. Notre chambre était spacieuse, confortable et offrait une magnifique vue sur la mer. Nous avons particulièrement apprécié Ruby de l’équipe d’animation ainsi qu’Oscar, notre butler, qui nous a offert un excellent service lorsqu’il était présent.

La nourriture au buffet était excellente et de bonne qualité. Cependant, le choix variait très peu d’une journée à l’autre, donc les repas devenaient répétitifs au fil du séjour.

Le principal point négatif est que, selon nous, cet hôtel n’offre pas réellement le niveau de service attendu d’un établissement 5 étoiles. Plusieurs services et activités sont offerts en supplément, ce qui donne l’impression que presque tout est extra, même lorsqu’on réserve en Diamond Club.

Le service était très inégal : parfois excellent, mais parfois vraiment décevant. Nous avons eu un problème important avec l’air climatisé dans notre chambre. Personne n’est venu vérifier l’appareil ni tenter de régler la situation. On nous a simplement répondu que c’était « le plus froid possible ». Notre butler était en congé et son remplaçant ne nous a pas davantage aidés. Pour une suite présidentielle en Diamond Club, nous nous attendions à une prise en charge beaucoup plus sérieuse.

Attention également aux représentants du Royalton qui proposent des présentations liées au programme de vacances ou au timeshare. Ils peuvent être insistants et cela peut devenir désagréable lorsqu’on souhaite simplement profiter de ses vacances.

La plage était affectée par une grande quantité de sargasses ainsi que par une odeur désagréable, ce qui limitait considérablement le plaisir de profiter de la mer.

Finalement, la clientèle était majoritairement américaine. L’ambiance générale, la musique et les activités étaient donc davantage américaines que caribéennes ou latines. Pour les voyageurs qui recherchent une véritable ambiance mexicaine ou caribéenne, cet hôtel risque de ne pas répondre aux attentes.

En résumé, le site est beau, la suite présidentielle est magnifique, la nourriture est bonne et certains employés, comme Ruby et Oscar, font réellement la différence. Toutefois, le service manque de constance, plusieurs éléments sont en supplément et l’expérience globale ne correspond pas, selon nous, au niveau 5 étoiles annoncé.

A wonderful discovery!
Très belle découverte

Beautiful resort! We loved our stay. The food and facilities were excellent. The only downside was that the room minibar was rarely stocked. We also noticed that if you tip, you're treated like royalty, but otherwise the service is much less attentive. Despite this, we highly recommend this resort.

Très beau resort! Nous avons adoré séjour. La nourriture et les installations étaient excellentes. Le seul point négatif est que le minibar de la chambre était rarement rempli. Nous avons aussi remarqué que si tu donnes du pourboire, tu es servi comme un roi, mais sinon le service est beaucoup moins attentionné. Malgré cela, nous recommandons ce resort.
