The Royal Haciendas celebrated its 18 years on July 1 with a special afternoon event that brought members, guests and team members together, and a Mexican show with traditional snacks and live music in the evening. It doesn´t seem so long ago that we were taking our first steps on the beautiful beach with the crooked palm tree and gazing out over the sea towards Cozumel for the first time. In 2006, The Royal Haciendas opened its doors and for many of our members who have been there from the beginning, it has been an unforgettable journey.

Whether you think of the glorious sunrises and star-filled Riviera Maya nights, endless days on the beach, by the pool and in a hammock rocked by the gentle breeze, walks along the bay and snorkeling trips to local reefs in search of angel fish and turtles, these are adventures to share and memories to treasure.

Your Riviera Maya sanctuary

Arches, columns, fountains and wide terraces set in lovingly tended gardens full of colorful tropical shrubs and native trees, The Royal Haciendas design takes its inspiration from the grand old estate houses of the Yucatan and yet has every upscale comfort to make it an exceptional Riviera Maya sanctuary of relaxation.

Breakfast on the terrace of your spacious suite is the time to decide what’s in store for another amazing day in paradise: beach bliss, reef discoveries, jungle fun, Mayan ruins or even a shopping trip into Playa del Carmen. Gazing out over the gardens you’ll listen to birdsong, the soft coos of turtle doves and the waves breaking gently on the shoreline in the distance, and watch orange orioles and hummingbirds busy among the hibiscus and ixoras. You might even spot the occasional tejon or coatimundi and get a rare glimpse of foraging spider monkeys as they search for chicozapote fruit in the forest near the resort.

A world of activities

From beach and pool fun to snorkeling and kayak trips, tennis, pickleball and basketball, a world of activities awaits you at The Royal Haciendas. You may look forward to enjoying the daily activities for adults, teens and families, and your children to meeting their friends at the Kids Club for a day of non-stop games and entertainment and splashy fun at the Aqua Park. Discover the wonders of the Mesoamerican Reef with Dive Balam, and whenever you feel like exploring the area, Thomas More Travel has an amazing collection of tours and water sports for you to choose from.

And the best thing is that there is always something new for you to discover, a new activity, a fragrant herbal treatment at Alea Spa, a vibrant Mexican show and an array of tempting dining experiences.

Welcome to Mexico

Your hosts at The Royal Haciendas say “Welcome to Mexico” with all their hearts. A warm greeting and tropical flowers in your suite, hallmark hospitality and lasting friendships, they strive to give you a glimpse of Mexican traditions during the year and to offer a wealth of experiences to make each vacation magical. How many times have you practiced Spanish with your friends at the bar, sampled a delicious regional dish at La Palapa del Sol or learned about Mexican culture and native plants and wildlife during your vacation? These are times to treasure. So, here’s to many more years of Riviera Maya vacation moments together, friendships, family time and precious memories.
