"Royalton is absolutely amazing."
"I have actually been to Royalton Chic. It was Nov 2020, so there were some restrictions. I can say the food was AMAZING."
"Royalton Chic if you want a real"
"Royalton Chic Cancun and Majestic Elegance Costa Mujeres fit this bill."
"We did Royalton splash last year. It’s not on the beach but there is a trolly that comes through to shuttle you over to Royalton Punta Cana where the beach is."
"If you consider the Royalton Punta Cana it has access to Splash water waterpark and amenities like restaurants."
"Going to Royalton Chic for July 4th weekend so will report back as well as I’ve stayed their before."
"Royalton Chic in Cancun. Adults only, rooftop pool with foam parties."
"Just got back from the Royalton Splash. The good: Water park is AMAZING - no food or alcohol allowed inside. Beautiful grounds."
"For the royalton, note that kids under 120 cm can only use the small kid slides, and kids over 120 cm can only use the adult slides."
