We just returned from a lovely stay at the Royal Hideaway Playacar. The place is amazing. The food is very good and I am very picky eater. Every restaurant had something delicious I could eat. So know let me address some of these reviews because I read them all! Maybe this will help you decide if you like this resort. If you are looking for rest and relaxation , this is for you. We are in our upper 50s .As for this resort being older , yes it is. It is clean , iconic, and so well maintained. If you are looking for a new resort go to a brand new resort ! This resorts serves all premium drinks, beer, wines. You can get anything you want. This is not a party resort LOL!! The drinks are strong but no loud music or partying. As for people said the place smells moldy lol!! That is Mexico it is not mold or the place…..Every place has a smell nothing bad. The air conditioning in the room was so nice and cold, beautifully cleaned. All the staff were so helpful and friendly . They go above and beyond to help you with everything. This place is overall a great place to go to get away from the stress of life. But if you are looking for a resort with young party goers and loud music please let us keep our nice resort ! lol!!
