Why travelers love it
“Family‑friendly beachfront all‑inclusive resort with a kids’ water park and swim‑up bar”
Guests consistently praise the friendly staff, wide beachfront location, and fun pool and kids’ club areas
Food & drink
MixedBuffet-heavy dining that's hit-or-miss: fine for the price point but with real cleanliness complaints and repetitive breakfast options. À la carte spots like Bogavante and the new Asian venue Tavo pull the average up, and poolside pizza is a genuine bright spot.
high confidence
What you'll enjoy
- Fresh poolside pizza from Hermelinda
- New Asian restaurant Tavo is a standout
- Attentive restaurant captains and waiters
- Bogavante and Cafe Solaris deliver
Heads up
- Buffet quality inconsistent, sometimes cold or stale
- Cleanliness complaints (dirty plates, worms in broccoli)
- Breakfast variety repeats daily
- Restaurant reservations capped and cancellations happen
Dining overview
Features buffet and à la carte dining. Restaurants include Las Fuentes (themed buffet), Rosmarinus (beachfront buffet), Marco Polo (à la carte international), and Tavo (à la carte oriental). A snack bar and Pizzalísima pizzeria are also available. The all-inclusive plan covers meals and midnight snacks.
Beach
MixedA serviceable Cancun Hotel Zone beach with plenty of shaded seating and easy access, but not the star of the show. Opinions swing from 'purest azure sea' to simply 'not that great,' so temper expectations.
medium confidence
What you'll enjoy
- Direct beachfront location
- Plenty of shaded seating
- Easy walk from pool to sand
- Marina activities available
Heads up
- Quality feels average by Cancun standards
- Some find it underwhelming
Beach is directly on the Hotel Zone beachfront, with modest loungers and palapas shared with next‑door GR Caribe; decent sand and swimmability but occasional sargassum and rough water reported
Pools
StrongA large, well-decorated main pool packed with entertainers, water aerobics, and foam parties, plus a mellower adults-only Caribe pool for escape. The animation team (Eder, Maggi, Israel, Matías) is a genuine highlight.
high confidence
What you'll enjoy
- Two pool atmospheres: lively Royal and chill Caribe
- Standout entertainment crew
- Water aerobics and daily activities
- Swim-up bar and poolside pizza
Heads up
- Not enough exit ladders
- Main pool gets loud
Property has a large multi‑level main pool with swim‑up bar, kids’ dipping pool, waterfall features, plus hot tubs and indoor/play area in kids’ club
Rooms & suites
300 roomsRoughly 300 fairly large but dated rooms; upgrades offer balconies or whirlpool tubs; standard features include TVs, coffeemakers, basic toiletries; decor is plain
Room details here are AI-assisted, compiled from the resort's own website and public sources. Categories and names change often — confirm the exact room when you book.
What’s included
StrongThe clearest reason to book: solid all-inclusive experience at a price well below neighboring Hotel Zone resorts. You're paying for a dated but functional property, not luxury, and most guests feel they got their money's worth.
high confidence
What you'll enjoy
- Priced well below Hotel Zone neighbors
- Strong entertainment included
- Family activities included at no upcharge
- Repeat members returning for decades
Heads up
- Balcony rooms cost significantly more
- Property shows its age

Amenities & activities
Couples
StretchCouples can carve out a decent trip by parking themselves at the adults-only GR Caribe side, recently renovated and much calmer. On the main Royal side, expect a family-heavy, kid-noisy environment that won't feel romantic.
high confidence
What you'll enjoy
- Adults-only GR Caribe pool is chill and renovated
- Attentive butler and restaurant service
- Some ocean-view rooms with jacuzzi balcony
- Yoga and gym sessions worth booking
Heads up
- Main resort is very kid-heavy
- Noise travels through room walls
- Limited premium liquor selection
Families
IdealThis is the resort's strongest suit: an indoor-outdoor Kids Club run by a genuinely beloved team (Mariana, Emi, Ivette), a mini water park with slides, and pool entertainers who keep kids busy all day. Repeat family visitors come back year after year.
high confidence
What you'll enjoy
- Kids Club with indoor and outdoor sections
- Mini water park with slides
- Poolside pizza kids love
- Warm, safety-conscious animator team
Heads up
- Pools need more exit ladders, minor accidents noted
Peace & Quiet
MixedTwo-sided property design saves the day: the family Royal side runs loud with foam parties and pool games, while the adults-only GR Caribe side stays peaceful. Pick your side carefully because sound carries through room walls.
high confidence
What you'll enjoy
- Adults-only GR Caribe side is genuinely calm
- Shaded beach seating for quiet time
- Yoga classes for a mellow morning
Heads up
- Kids screaming heard through walls on family side
- Foam parties and nightly shows on Royal side
- Pool activities can be loud all day
Resort includes spa with a la carte treatments, fitness center, beauty salon, kids’ water park, nightly shows, water sports via nearby marina, meeting rooms

What past guests say
“Excellent experience! A family-friendly hotel that can also be enjoyed as a couple! We loved the foam party at the pool. The daytime activities and shows are also very good. We met Matías, the entertainer! He was very cheerful and fun.”
★★★★★
“Really good service & sweet people. Super attentive, drinks are super good!”
★★★★☆
“Everyone who works there is friendly and helpful; it's a comfortable, small hotel. The children's area is nice and they offer many activities. However, making restaurant reservations through their app is a nightmare. No matter how many nights you're staying, there's never any availability, which is a major area for improvement. They tell you to join a waiting list at the restaurant, but when you arrive, the waiting list doesn't exist. The restaurant staff aren't friendly, and there's no food...”

“I stayed at Royal Solaris Cancún for a few days and, unfortunately, the experience was quite disappointing overall. The hotel itself is nice and the location is great, but I felt that the food was not particularly good. I tried several of the restaurants and none of them really stood out. I also started feeling a bit sick to my stomach during my stay, although I obviously cannot say for sure if it was caused by the food. The most uncomfortable part of my experience was a sales presentation...”

What you should know
What to Know
This is a timeshare property, and the sales pitch is aggressive: decline the 'free breakfast' and gifts unless you want a four-hour hard sell. Restaurant reservations are limited (three per week, via a clunky app) and some areas are reserved for members.
high confidence
What you'll enjoy
- Close to airport for quick transfers
- Members get extra perks
- Reservation app exists for dinner venues
- Renovations underway on GR Caribe side
Heads up
- Aggressive timeshare sales pitches
- Restaurant reservations capped and can be cancelled
- Not every room has a balcony, ocean-view often through window
- Property is dated and needs upkeep
Arrive early at pool and restaurants to secure seats; book spa and a la carte dinner reservations in advance; expect Wi‑Fi to cost extra
