Property Overview
Situated on a wide, palm-fringed stretch of Caribbean coastline in Cancún's Hotel Zone, the Royal Palm Beach Resort creates a distinctly relaxed yet upscale atmosphere. The property's design draws on Mayan-inspired motifs, with local limestone and natural fibres used throughout the public spaces. It combines the intimacy of a boutique hotel with the amenities of a large resort.
Accommodation and Facilities
The resort provides 420 rooms and suites, ranging from garden-view rooms to an exclusive two-bedroom presidential suite with its own plunge pool. Interiors are bright and airy with white linens, light wood furniture and private balconies or terraces in every room. Family-oriented amenities include interconnecting rooms and a children's pool.
Dining options at the Royal Palm include 'Cocina del Mar', a beachfront seafood restaurant, and 'Xamach', which serves contemporary Yucatán dishes. The main pool area is terraced and surrounded by sun loungers and palapas. The 'Xtune' spa focuses on traditional Mayan healing rituals, offering a full range of massage and body treatments.
On-Site Casino
The casino at the Royal Palm is located in a separate annex adjacent to the hotel, built in 2019. It is compact compared to larger integrated resorts and offers a relaxed gaming experience with 160 slot machines and a selection of standard table games.
Per Mexican law, the minimum age for casino entry is 18 years old. All visitors must show a valid government-issued ID (passport or Mexican INE). There is no strict dress code, though swimwear and beachwear are not permitted inside. Access from the hotel lobby is through a security checkpoint. Hotel accommodation policies are distinct from casino entry restrictions.
