My partner and I spent 7 days and 8 nights at Ocean Maya Royale in June of 2018. This was our second all inclusive resort experience.

We did upgrade to the privilege package and I would say it was worth it for the top shelf alcohol brands, faster drink service in the beach areas, private lounge with fabulous tapas that are available between meal times, and 24/7 room service.

The hotel has 1 buffet style restaurant that serves all three meals every day, and four other restaurants open for dinner. The buffet dinner style rotated every day of the week with some nights being better than others. Avoid the buffet on Friday night if you don t want to see a full dead pig . As a vegan I was able to eat moderately well. The employees were understanding and able to make substitutions for me as needed. I do think having the privilege tapas options helped here (I often ate guacamole and chips for lunch).

The room was well kept. Though the privilege rooms are furthest from the beach area, I enjoyed our garden view and I got to watch the deer on the property from my window more than once. The animals on the property always brought a smile to my face.

Nightly entertainment was enjoyable and laid back. This is not the hotel for big parties or rowdy spring breakers, it is a very calm atmosphere with a majority of the guests being couples.

We booked one excursion through Margarita and could not recommend her enough. She made sure I d have a vegan meal for lunch during the full day excursion and even got my partner a shot glass as a happy birthday gift. Definitely seek out Margarita for all your excursion needs, she was great!

This is not the most beautiful stretch of beach ever and there is seaweed. Employees spend hours on end in the hot sun clearing the seaweed as best as they can. I would not say the beach quality affected our stay at all, however if you want to swim or sit in the water regularly this probably isn t the best place for you.

Overall I do recommend this hotel most for couples or small groups that would prefer their vacation to be relaxation based more than a party scene. We left feeling relaxed and rejuvenated.
