I have absolutely no opinion - I haven't been, so please discard my comment. I could see some negative comments coming from the original Royal Caribbean owners and just Royal Resort owners, this property was "taken/sold" out of the Royals and there were many memories made at the original Royal Caribbean, Royal Mayan, and Royal Islander! Maybe?
I wish you would have shown the nightly activities calendar. I can't find one anywhere, and you can only access this while at the resort. UGH. We are looking to see what they have for adults in the evenings after dinner.
It's not cold, I think people were complaining because the small pools closest to the beach looks like hot tubs. but they are just regular small pools. So I guess people were disappointed when they first got in and didn't feel the steaming hot tub water
Yes, the pools are cool/cold. During noon, they are some what cool. There is one small heated pool, but that is not for regular status members. Here at resort now. Beach is nice sized, but lots of waves and windy.
Hi there, thank you for your video. We'll be there in a couple of weeks. Do you remember seeing any kind of self serve laundry facilities on the property? We're just taking carry on...
Thanks for the video! I am planning on having my honeymoon there in mid-January 2025. We are debating between an adult-only hotel or Hilton Mar Caribe. Since we are going during school season for MEX and US, we should not see many kids, right? Do you have any thoughts or recommendations based on your experience? Thanks!
Congrats! If kids bother you, then I think you should avoid it. there were many events (even late night ones) that was completely swamped with kids. If you are looking for adult only. I highly recommend the Hyatt Zilara Cancun. This video shows the most basic room(and it's awesome): czcams.com/video/BwrKMeFglA4/video.html
@@davidjones8657 Not sure how much the prices are now, if it's anywhere near $600/night, I'd say the food quality needs to be slightly better at the buffet, drinks brands should be better too. All the ocean-view rooms are nice though. and Plenty of activities. I also like their online restaurant reservation system. Better than Hyatt's.
That just the thing, I don't feel like I was getting top tier food/drinks for the price they are charging. The top stuff i see at lobby bars are Titos, johnnie walker black, and Don Julio blanco. However, you might pay up to get the "Enclave" level, they might have something better. but every time I stopped by any Enclave area, they were always dead.
Atleast there's some known brands, i've been to others where it wasn't even a named brand liquor. Thank you so much for the review and reply back :)@@FlameMing
Hi we are going to this resort in April! I saw all those restaurants that you have to make reservations for…do you have to pay for some of the restaurants?! My first time going to a all inclusive😏
Looking into booking this hotel. Is the reason for not liking this hotel due to the room situation and check -in wait time ? Why else would you not recommend it ?

Thanks for showing the app. Other reviews mentioned it but never show it!😊
Thank you for this incredible holiday video.!
Thanks for including pictures of some of the menus! Can’t find pictures of the menus anywhere online!
Great review. Thanks so much. I am not sure why there are so many negative reviews of this hotel. It looks really good.
Yeah, I think a lot of high level Hilton Honors member were disappointed of the service level at $500/night

Been here too few months ago. Thank you for sharing

@2:57 is the night activities
Also, someone commented that the pool water was cold. Do you remember that being the case?

Definitely no self-serve at the resort property.
Hi great review. Planning to book for next year. What room number were you in and what room type was it? Was it the Premium Ocean View Room?
I can recall room number, but I was the most basic room. Since all rooms were ocean view.

Are most of the rooms old or are they all clean and modern?
very modern @1:54
When did you visit? It’s pretty empty and I like that
Mid December 2023. Keep in mind I was filming in the morning(8:00am). So people are still sleeping
Thank you...Great review We are headed there next week. Could you post the app link?
Sorry, it's not an app. it's a website. And I think you can only access it on the resort network.
Thanks@@FlameMing I found it on-line. Thanks again for the great review.
@@davejohndrow6389 if you can post the link here. It would be much appreciated
How was your stay there? Going there n a couple months.

Hi, is the water in the Caribbean See pretty warm?
Yes it was very nice
Was the pool heated?
It didn't feel cold, but it definitely wasn't hot tub temperature.
What about their liquor selections were they top tier since the prices for this hotel is pretty expensive?

Where can I find the app?
It's a webpage, you will get access to it when you check in
Hi we are going to this resort in April! I saw all those restaurants that you have to make reservations for…do you have to pay for some of the restaurants?! My first time going to a all inclusive😏
No, but in some restaurants they will try to upsell you lobster or tomahawk steak. Just watch out for those.
Thank you so much!
Oh and how do I get the Hilton App!!
@@donndiva252they will show you at check in. It’s a link. Not an app
@@FlameMing Another thing would we be able to enjoy the resort without having to leave like for excursions? I don’t plan on leaving the resort myself.
What did you use for transportation to and from the airport?
I booked a ride in advance on Viator to get to the resort. On return, I saw some people getting picked up by uber. Uber price isn't so good though.
Hello how do we find the app to make reservations
You will get it when you check in. It's a website(not an app), availability is all very good, so you shouldn't have trouble reserving same day
Any type of seltzer at the resort like white claw?
Yes, Hard seltzers are finally making their way into these Cancun resorts
Do you know what types they have?
@@brandonnewman2922 I don't specifically remember, but I want to say High noon?
All restaurants ( food and drinks) are free?
It's an all-inclusive. You paid for it upfront for the room
Is the resort close to La Isla shopping mall?
@@marilynmedina469 idk , use google maps
