Royal holiday buzz killed our vacation…

Travis W on May 10, 2025

The hotel and princess staff were very good. The food was better than all of our royal holiday stays at their main resorts in eastern Mexico. Royal holiday’s miss information and MTS travel earned this trip rating. Buyers beware. Royal holiday tells you everything you want to hear, then kills every trip with 1000 cuts of misdirection, sending you through multiple levels of so-called supervisors and ultimately wastes large amounts of your vacation time. MTS just straight out lied to get additional business and then refused to honor their deals they offered. We were the suckers that bought into royal holiday rip off club to the VIP level under their misinformation on benefits we would receive, bonus stays and guarantees of top concierge support as VIPs. This trip, our concierge named miguelle in Mexico City did not inform us of the massive renovation, lack of VIP access and told us transportation services were not available. He was rude when we questioned anything. The so-called lead royal holiday representative on-site refused to get us VIP access and when pressed offered 2 of the 4 people in our party a comp for 2 days to have VIP access(that we were told we received by our membership level). Our advice to anyone that gets propositioned to join be very weary. They play within Mexico’s laws and use the fine print in their contracts to raise fees and deny the access they lead you to believe you had. Don’t get burned by the likes of royal holiday. Go to Expedia or other reputable sites and book your time to come visit this place. Ultimately, we are making the best of a nice place that is worth visiting.

Very Disappointing – Hotel Has Gone Downhill

emma1820 (philadelphia) on May 08, 2025

Week of hell…. I recently stayed at the Princess Hotel in Mexico, and it was one of the most disappointing vacation experiences I’ve ever had. I had beautiful memories of this place from 12 years ago, but unfortunately, it has been completely neglected and no longer resembles the hotel I once knew. The room conditions were awful. One day we woke up with no power in the entire room. Another day, there was no water at all—we couldn’t flush the toilet or even brush our teeth. The air conditioning barely worked, and the humidity was so bad the sheets felt wet and smelled. At night, the plumbing gave off a terrible odor. The sink and shower were often clogged, and the toilet backed up easily. Our balcony was covered in animal droppings for the entire week. I repeatedly asked for it to be cleaned, but no one ever took care of it. The spa is old and falling apart. My sister had over 10 massages during the week, but the staff were still rude and would not let us stay even a few extra minutes in the Jacuzzi or spa area, which was poorly maintained anyway. Breakfast was served in a dining area that smelled like sewage, likely due to a major plumbing issue affecting the whole property. The food was cheap and very basic. We ended up tipping the chef daily just so he could make us decent ceviche—honestly, that was the only good meal we had all week. The hotel is outdated—old beds, worn furniture, and no entertainment or welcoming atmosphere. Staff were mostly unhelpful and at times disrespectful. What was once a wonderful resort now feels abandoned and mismanaged. I truly don’t recommend this hotel in its current condition. It needs serious renovations, better staff training, and proper attention to guest comfort and cleanliness.
