  • Royalton Splash Riviera Cancun opened on December 20, 2022. We stayed the week of February 1 - 8, 2023. Overall we had a great experience. We travel full time and with no kids, so we much prefer adult only resorts; however, the price was right and so we booked. This video highlights our stay and what we felt was good and areas that need improved. We fully understand that not everyone has the same experience, but we hope this and our walking tour helps you make the decision that is best for you.
    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.

    Nomad, Thank you very much for all your reviews! You obviously put a lot of effort into them so we all appreciate it very much. We will be traveling for spring break in March 2024. We are considering Royalton Riviera Cancun or Royalton Riviera Splash Cancun. Splash is about $1,000 more for the family. We plan to go diamond club with both resorts, but we can also get a swim up at the Riviera. My boys are 12 and 16 years old. We are more pool people than beach but the boys love to jump in the ocean waves. We also like good drinks and food. We plan on traveling for 6 nights. Knowing all this, where would you suggest we stay? Where would you stay and why? Thank you for your input as there is not much information available on Splash. Thank you very much!!

      Thank you so much for watching! In our opinion Royalton Riviera would meet your needs. Teen boys would love less young kids running around and food is superior. Thanks again

    Hi there! Thank you so much for both the walking tour and review. We booked an early March trip back in early December and have been very anxious since the hotel IS so new (we actually booked both at Splash and at Riviera next door, just in case). With that said, we are moving ahead with staying at Splash, and your videos definitely helped put our minds at ease....so thank you for that! I hope it is ok to ask a couple questions. In the video, is that the check-in area for Diamond Club? I was curious if you went to check in at the "regular desk" and once you decided to upgrade to DC, were you then sent to the DC area? Since we are traveling with our 8 & 10 year olds, we aren't sure we want to pay all that extra cash, but super appreciative that you commented on how much they charged you for the upgrade. I saw many reviews that mentioned they upgraded to DC at check-in, but you were the first person to mention the cost (which could surely vary). I am curious if you were able to do an on-line check-in and/or an online room selector in advance? We booked directly through the hotel's website, and for a small fee we have that option, but not sure it's necessary (and we likely won't get to the hotel until 1030/11pm at night so hopefully not a busy check-in time). Again, thank you for the helpful videos, and we appreciate your advice :) Happy travels!

      Good Afternoon and thank you for watching and the compliments. We did check in at the main check-in desk first and upgraded there. That is when we were taken to the Diamond Club Lounge to finish up the personalized check-in process. We are Marriott Elite and booked via the Marriott app. I did have the option to check-in online; however, we tend to check-in at the desk as you are more likely to get an upgraded room if they are available. We also typically choose the basic rooms when booking via the Marriott Bonvoy app because we are Titanium status and usually always get an upgrade. If we did not have Bonvoy status, I would have chosen a room based on what we would like, because upgrades are less frequent. I believe the costs for upgrade are set as we were at Royalton Riviera a couple of weeks prior and the cost was the same (we did not upgrade there). But they could change at any point. I am also not sure if the cost applies to children. I hope I was able to answer your questions based on our experience. Thank you again for watching and we hope you and your family have an amazing vacation.

    Your review didn’t cover one key point, to me,,, the beach. Read from other reviews that the water is not crystal clear n there’s seaweed, is that true?

    • @permanentnomads743
      @permanentnomads743  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you for watching and for the feedback. The season will definitely determine the beach conditions, although they were working to install a barrier to prevent the seaweed from reaching the beach. There were also cleanup crews working diligently until this barrier was completed. As for the water, I was pleased. It was not as clear as some waters at other coastal destinations, but far more clear than many others.

      @permanentnomads743  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you for your question. During our stay, not all slides were open yet. However, the ones that were seemed safe to me as there were many kids and adults having fun and I am not aware of any issues. If something occurred after the remaining slides were installed, I would not know. Hopefully someone here can further reply.

    How was the pool temps in February? We went to another resort in Cancun last February and want to book another resort for this Feb and the pools were very cold and practically nobody was in the pools except the main pool which was slightly heated. Was considering adults only at Hideaway but I guess those pools are not heated. Trying to find a resort that is lively to make friends, enjoy some evening entertainment but not a crazy party atmosphere and it seems like adults only resorts are party or really quiet so expanding our options.

    • @permanentnomads743
      @permanentnomads743  ปีที่แล้ว

      Good Evening and thank you for watching. None of the pools are adult only. Diamond Club area has a hot tub that is adult only, and there are no hot tubs on the non-DC side. Hope this answers your question.

    Are the drinks top shelf or do you need to pay extra for that? This resort is one of three choices for a summer trip? Thank you to anyone that can answer.

    • @permanentnomads743
      @permanentnomads743  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you for watching. They have some "top shelf" but not the best of the best. To get the higher quality, specifically ask for that brand or they will make the drink with the cheapest. This has been true for us at many all-inclusive resorts and cruises. I hope this helps some. I wish I could give more details, but drink selections at resorts can often be different from one season to another and distributor restrictions.
