We just got home to Canada from here! What an absolutely fabulous place!!! Clean, spacious, pools everywhere and gorgeous beach, Very nice and attentive staff -therefore we have no complaints.

It's good, but it's not that great. Like others BPs, the pools are shallow, maybe because they don't wanna have a lifeguard waching ppl all day. I've seen only one pool bar.

And as for the beach, there are a lot better beaches either in other BPs, as well in other resorts.

For first time visiting in the caribeen, like yours, its awesome. Otherwise, it's just very good.

Best resort we ever stayed at. We like it so much we are going back in February. Royal Golden is worth it. Akumal and Tulum are the best two, but Coba was still new when we were there. Will check out the Coba section when we arrive. Loved the separate concierge and decent internet. Food was also great and it really is a 5 star. Staff are very professional. Video is very accurate and realistic, but the real thing is even better.

You need to respect nature, you don't need AC when you have this beautiful, awesome experience...

Too many mosquitoes! The bars and restaurants do not have AC. The snorkeling right off the beach is great! The mini-club for kids was not that good, our 7 year old liked the kid's club at Barcelos better.

this place really sucks compared to other hotels. everything is afr away, like the bar and the club. also, they do not know how to use the AC when it is soo hot. Not organized. there are way better places to stay at, like the barcelo.

I stayed there in Akumal! We got a whole Coach bus to ourselves; it only took an hour to get there from Cancun. It was amazing!!! One word describes it: Indescribable!!! I recommend doing a tour, also. We did the snorkeling tour. We went to the ocean inlet, an open cenote, and a closed cenote. It was miraculous! I loved the Mikado restaurant and the Arlequin one.
