Description: The Royal Mayan Resort in Cancun is one of five Royal Resorts located there. In many respects it is the best of the Royals.
The Resort has two hundred well kept timeshare villas, each consisting of two bedrooms, two baths, a living room, dining area, fully equipped kitchen and most have a balcony overlooking the pool area, beach and ocean. The master bedroom has a king size bed, the second bedroom has twin double beds and the living room has two twin size Murphy beds. Full details on the villas can be found at
www.royalresorts.com/mayan.stm.
The Royal Mayan shares a beautiful beach and other facilities with two other Royal Resorts, the Royal Caribbean and the Royal Islander. Also, the facilities of the nearby Royal Sands, including its full service spa, are available as are the facilities of Vacation Club International, located close to downtown.
The Royal Mayan has the best formal and informal restaurants of any of the five Royal Resorts. The El Conquistador restaurant is for fine dining serving international cuisine, seafood and steaks in a smart casual setting and at moderate prices with great early bird specials. The La Palapa poolside restaurant has a fantastic breakfast buffet and full lunch and dinner menu. It is very casual and even has a swim up bar.
The Royal Mayan is across the street from Captain's Cove Marina and Restaurant. The restaurant overlooks the lagoon and is reasonably priced. Its breakfast buffet is even better than that at La Palapa.
Each villa is designed for six people. The second bedroom is a lock-off unit and can be used by itself. It has its own bath, TV and a small refrigerator. The remainder of the Villa is contained in the suite portion and has the master bedroom as well as living room, dining area, kitchen and master bath. The deck can be accessed from either part.
You can buy or rent units (Villas for 6, Suites for 4 or bedrooms for 2) from the Resort or at great savings from private owners using web sites like the one sponsored by the Timeshare User's Group (

www.mexicondo.com;
www.redweek.com or many other sites offer rental and purchase opportunities. Savings range from 25% to over 50%.
Royal Mayan guests have access to its sports facilities including the pool, tennis courts, shuffleboard court and more. Beach towels, snorkeling gear and tennis rackets are available at no cost. There is an on-site grocery store, travel agency and car rental agency and next door at the Royal Caribbean is a bigger grocery store and other shops.
Of the Royal Mayan, Royal Caribbean and Royal Islander, the Royal Mayan is the oldest. So why do I like it the best?
It is well kept, has twin sinks in the master bath, has more wood trim and is warmer than the other two. Its restaurants are the best of all five Royals. It is closest to the road and Captain's Cove.
I'd go on, but I am outofwords!
