Royalton Splash Walking Tour

- čas přidán 5. 02. 2023
- Royalton Splash Riviera Cancun opened on December 20, 2022. During our stay the week of February 1 - 8 we saw reviews that were all over the place causing people to be concerned if they should come or not. I created this walking tour with commentary to hopefully answer some questions that we have seen posted on social media and to help some people decide if this is the right place for them. It is easy to find faults here, but its been much easier for us to find fun and relaxation. Hope you enjoy and best travel wishes to you.

Best review 😊 thanks!
Thank you very much. We appreciate you watching. Happy vacationing.
Glad I found your video my ta was saying it was completely finished!
Thank you for watching. They are diligently working to complete it. They are hoping to have the waterslides done by the end of March and the entire resort at 100% by June. With that said, it was still very enjoyable.
heading there this weekend, this was very helpful!
Awesome! Thank you for watching and we hope you have an amazing vacation.
Thank you for this!
My pleasure! Thank you for watching.
Nice place.
We have definitely enjoyed our stay. Thank you for commenting.
We are going here end of October and I’ll be taking my 360 x3 to get some footage.
Thanks for the video 👍🏻
Thank you very much for watching and your comment. We hope you have an amazing experience. Do you have a YT page? If so, we would love to see your video. I am considering upgrading from the x2 to the x3.... be sure to check your hz settings and frame rates to avoid flicker.... I forgot a couple of times... lol.

Thanks for the video! We are going there in July, so this was great to watch to see what all we can expect while there.
Thank you so much for watching and your comment. We wish you the very best vacation.
How did u find it
We found the resort on the Marriott app. If you mean directions from the airport, we coordinated a transfer prior to arriving in Mexico via Booking. Hope this helps and happy Vacationing.
How was it?
@@Natalie-531 we had a greet time! Kids loved it, the swimout room was great for morning and night swims, and Diamond club with butler was awesome. I think we’re going to go back next 4th if July possibly!
Great video
Thank you very much, we appreciate you watching. Happy Vacationing.
I did see a small crocodile on the way into Royalton Riviera Cancun in 2015. There are mangroves just off the road. It was moving from the edge of the road back into the mangroves.
Agreed, there are several in the mangroves. But the resorts go to great length to keep them off the resort. Thank you for watching.
Great info ..planning to go in July with the wife and kids ...was there any issues with the restaurants reservations ..waiting ?? We took the diamond club package..and even if there is an issue with waiting . What would be the best time to go for dinner to offset waiting times ...thanks
Thank you so much for watching. Since you are DC, you should not have any issues. As soon as you meet your Butlers, tell them what restaurants and time(s) you prefer to eat and the will take care of the rest. If there are any "challenges" (for example, Zen reservations fill up quickly), they will do everything they can to get you seated as close to your preferred time as possible. Hope you have an amazing time.
Hello, thanks for the great video! Does anyone know if it’s complete yet? We might book for November 2024. Not really wanting to go somewhere with building work :(
Hi thanks for detailed video.
May I ask what are you using to film this video?
Thank you
For this video I used the Insta360 One X2 (with lens protectors, I will stop using them because of the smudge and lack of clarity - LoL).
Hi, my brother in law has planned a destination wedding at this resort for July 2023, and my husband & I have been looking at various rooms. We have 2 teenagers traveling with us who very much love their privacy 🙂 I thought I heard you mention a review of Diamind Club vs. regular rooms. Would you provide a link to your Diamind Club vs. Regular room stay video
We have just settled and are planning to do this video very soon. Sorry it is not out yet. We wanted to wait until checkout so we could be sure to share our full experience.
Hi! Thanks for your video! Did you take a regular taxi to the hotel or did you arrange private transport prior?
Thank you and we appreciate you watching. We coordinated a private transfer using Booking.
I’m booked for next month with my son and granddaughter. I really wish some night shots were taken as I’d like to see what dress ware is for dining. Need to know what to pack and it’s a first time travel for my son
Thank you for watching. Dining for most nights is casual, but no swimsuits. We typically wore (me) dress shots and a nice tee shirt, polo, and occasionally a button down. My wife typically wore a dress (nothing super fancy, think sundress) and sandals. We hope you have an amazing vacation.
Appreciate the response and good to know! Looking forward to it
Good morning. Is there a view of the ocean from the swim out rooms or is it just the view of the pool. Husband and I are traveling there with 2 children. We want the swim out for the kids but also want to be able to enjoy the beautiful ocean view for ourselves. I just don't want my only view to be of a noisey pool everyday
I am sorry, but we did not enter any of the swim outs. They do face the ocean, but I am not sure how much you can see or if the view is blocked by the pools.
I was so excited to check this resort out ..I love Mexico I’ve been 6 times but that seaweed is such a disappointment to me ..that’s not a little bit at all and I didn’t experience that in tulum,Cozumel or riveria maya playacar..does the beach always look like this?
Good Evening and thank you for watching. The hotel zone and all the areas you mentioned are typically better when it comes to seaweed; however, after we departed people were posting about all of the efforts to make it better. It's our understanding they have installed barriers to mitigate the seaweed and folks posting on various social media seem pleased with the results.
how bout it. what kind of resort doesnt clean their beach? id never stay here when you have so many choices
They have now implemented barriers and pictures posted show beautiful sand beaches.
Great dude gave us a detailed tour of all the hallways.
Thank you for watching and we hope you have found it useful and have had or will have an amazing vacation.

Hi, Another question, My brother was telling me there are lots of grasshoppers in Mexico! Did you experience anything like that in the resort as I am about to go next week.
Good Evening, no we did not experience any grasshoppers or any other bugs really. Occasionally you would see some ants, but that's all that we really encountered.
You'll see some iguanas and maybe even small geckos.
Thank you for sharing, it seems very busy round the main pool and couldn't see any spare loungers? Is it often like this ? Thanks
loungers around the main pool can fill up quick and many people "claim" them early then go to lunch by leaving hats and towels on them. When I filmed this, there seamed to be a lot more people out. Not sure if this is because it rained for two days and everyone was excited to get out into the sun, but it did feel a bit busier than usual. Thank you for watching and for your comment.
Thank you for a fast response and thanks again for sharing 😊
I had the same comment - they say all restaurant not open every night because of not having enough guests… but the Pool area seemed packed, like past capacity level of packed
Can you confirm that if you stay at the Royalton Splash you won't get access to the Hideaway and vice versa? We have been going back and forth between the 2 to book and decided on Splash but are bummed there is no casino like the Hideaway. Great video with a lot of good details!!
Good Afternoon, yes. We inquired and you are not able to go back and forth between the two resorts. While they are the same brand, they are not accessible. There may be day passes available, but it is not guaranteed based on occupancy.
@Permanent Nomads thank you so much!!! We are going end of April so hopefully everything will be completed by then too 🤞 also were you able to collect bonvoy points upon check in?
hey great video do they have a disco or nite club on the resort
Thank you again for watching. During our time at this resort, there was not a designated disco or night club. Not sure if this has changed since. There were frequent shows outside by the pool that had lots of dancing and other events during the evenings, but they didn't stay open too late. Thanks again and happy vacationing.
The smoking factor is a deal breaker for us
Sorry to hear. We do hope that you find your perfect vacation.
In the basic room, I keep reading about lacking privacy for the bathroom area...but didn't see your room in the walking tour. Will a family of 4 with 2 teens be able to make the bathroom and shower work?
Thank you for watching. In the rooms we stayed in, there was a curtain that could be pulled to seperate the bathroom area from the main living area.
Hi any idea when the construction will be completed? I just booked for June 2023 for my anniversary. :))
Happy early anniversary and thank you for watching. I will go speak with staff in the morning and come back and reply to give you the latest and greatest. Chat with you soon and thank you for watching.
Sorry for the delayed response. They are hoping to have the waterslides done by the end of March and the entire resort at 100% by June. They are diligently working to complete it.
@@permanentnomads743 great deal!!
thank you for this review. we are just about to book this hotel for our vacation in July 2024. how was the seaweed issue on the beach?
Thank you so much for watching. During our stay, they were placing off-shore barriers to keep the beaches clear of seaweed. It's been awhile since our stay, but these barriers have been successful elsewhere. Hope this helps.

Nice review,added information is good…I just booked for our annual family vacation to this resort this morning Feb 8,2024, for April…coming back to Mexico after a long absence, Punta Cana is my favourites, sure has changed from the reviews I watched. Hope to have fun in the sun. 👍
Headed there July 5
Have an amazing vacation
Have they advertised when the construction will be completed and when the waterpark will be completed?
Good Evening, I will go speak with staff in the morning and come back and reply to give you the latest and greatest. Chat with you soon and thank you for watching.

looking to go here random question do they do any gluten free food as my sister can’t eat gluten
Hello and thank you for watching. While we did not necessarily look on the line in the main dining, we did see people asking for special dietary restricted foods and they were accommodating those individuals. I would be sure to email them to verify. Thanks again, and if you haven't already, please don't forget to hit that subscribe button.
I’ve seen a lot of reviews about bad smells in the building? Can you confirm this situation?
There are times when the smell from the mangroves and a small building in front of the resort will wonder into the resort area. From our experience, this is short lived and does not affect the back (ocean side) of the resort where all of the activities are. It seems to mostly occur during/after heavy rains while we were here.
We were able to confirm that the smell is solely from the mangroves and the building has nothing to do with it. They are working with engineers and other teams to address this smell that is common with all mangroves.
How much was the diamond lounge? We are family of 4 (2adults 2 kids) do they charge pp or pet room
Upgrading to Diamond is $71/person per day.
@@permanentnomads743 wow is it worth it? What are some of the highlights of Diamond? I know on the video you mentioned you will upload a video on describing the club
@@danielpais7306 I can only speak for us and we may be in a different situation as we are Marriott Bonvoy Titanium status. So, long story short... for us, I would not do it again simply because with Platinum and above you get most DC area access only. The only thing we would not have gotten is the room butler.
Is the room butler worth it? For us personally, I feel we would only benefit most if we had a group and wanted to ensure ample seating at a restaurant. With that said, it was nice having reservations, but I don't feel that for the two of us, it was necessary. We spent time at both the Royalton Hideaway and at Splash. Since we are patient and eat a bit later, we are fine with going and checking in at the restaurant and they tell us when to come back. This is not how everyone likes it, so its really a personal choice. Hope this helps until we publish our DC vs Non-DC vs Marriott Bonvoy video.
Hi do you know if they have a transportation from the AirPort and back ? 😊
Good Morning, I just spoke with guest services and they stated that you can book with Nexus. If you want transportation back to the airport as well, it should be scheduled before check-in (with your arrival). Otherwise you would need to use a taxi that is on standby at the resort or coordinate other transportation.
@@permanentnomads743 any contact? Nexus phone number? Thank you we have no idea who to call…thanks for the info.
Please check out Nexustours.com
Also note that we have not used this service nor are we affiliated with them in any way.
@@permanentnomads743 the big question…do you recommends from airport Taxis, Rent car or Nexustour? Just FYI I do have a baby of 1 year old…first time at Mexico…any recommendation on Travel insurance? Sorry for all my questions.
@@zenci21 Good Evening, we booked our private transfer using Booking.com. Sorry I don't have any experience with any other companies. We were pleased with the service we received through Booking though.
We are currently booked at the Hideaway at Royalton and are thinking about changing to this resort. This resort not being adult only is not a big deal for us. My question is, what resort did you like better? Thanks
Thank you for watching. We personally like Royalton Riviera (Hideaway) better at that time. The food was better quality (even though many of the restaurants were the same), there were a lot more activities for adults, more pool options, and we did have the option to escape from the kids if it got overwhelming. Splash was still brand new at the time, so they may have improved in some areas, but the resort layout was much more geared to kids and way less options for pools leaving it feel very crowded. I hope this information and helps and you have an amazing vacation.

What’s the price for night.
Unfortunately that price can change frequently. We purchaaed our booking six months in advance during the grand opening sale. I'm sorry, but I do not know the cost now.
How was the food ?
It was good with lots of variety. However, in our opinion it could use more seasoning. We fully understand though that they have to make food that will good for all palates.
Hi there, Are there lots of mosquitoes?
@@deirdreloughney2180 we did not have any issues with mosquitos during our stay.
hows the nite life?
Were those real crocodiles??
No, they were simply decorations. We did not see any real crocodiles during our visit and the resort has protection to prevent crocodiles coming from the mangroves to the resort.
So… what’s with the standing water between the pool and the beach? That looks concerning… is that where the sewage smell people talk about is coming from? Are there lots of mosquitos?
It had rained for two days and that is the runoff. They intend to work on the drainage and not the area of the smell. The area of the smell is in the front near the mangroves and a small facility there. The smell isn't always present and is not smelled throughout the resort, but it can be strong at times.
@@permanentnomads743 any chance they told you what the ‘facility’ is?
@@darinacammay1 I will inquire tomorrow before we depart. Once we are set up in Cancun, I will share my response. Sorry I don't have that information at this time.
I m just wondering where everyone are getting this reviews about “bad smell”..appreciate info. Thanks
sorry for the delayed response. They confirmed the small building has nothing to do with it. It is not a water treatment facility or anything. The smell is directly from the mangroves and is common with all mangrove locations.
Has anyone been recently!!! Would appreciate feedback before booking
Thank you very much for watching. We hope you find more recent information and have an amazing vacation.

CUÁLES SON LOS DESCUENTOS Y PROMOCIONES PARA LOS MEXICANOS?????????
Thank you so much for watching. Unfortunately I am not able to find an answer to your question. We did do a small search online, but unable to find any results. I would recommend contacting the property directly. Thank you again for watching and happy vacationing.
Next time make sure to clean your lens.
Thank you for watching and for the feedback.
This is NOT Royalton Splash
I'm sorry, why do you think this is not Royalton Splash? We stayed here shortly after they opened near Cancun, Mexico? Are you possibly thinking of Royalton Splash in another Country?
@@permanentnomads743 .Yes, sure. It was my fault. I think in R. Splash Punta Cana automatic. It's possible another R. Splash in another place. Sorry
No problem. I thought that may have been it. Happy Travels
