Ocean Maya Royale

The Resort and Its Setting

Ocean Maya Royale sits directly on a private stretch of Playa del Carmen beach, along Carretera Federal Chetumal. It's an independent, all-inclusive property (not part of a major international chain) that carries RCI affiliation, which matters if you're an owner who likes the option to trade your week. Guests consistently rate it highly — 4.7 out of 5 from over 14,000 Google reviews — for its suites, beachfront dining and on-site tennis courts. It's the kind of resort that suits owners who want a reliable, beach-first week rather than a sprawling resort complex.

Playa del Carmen: The Area and What There Is to Do

Playa del Carmen is one of the Riviera Maya's best-established beach towns, and everything an owner or renter needs is close by. The beach itself is about 500 metres from the resort, and Quinta Avenida — Fifth Avenue, the town's pedestrian spine of shops, restaurants and bars — is roughly a kilometre away, so evenings out don't require a taxi. Further afield, Xcaret and Xel-Há (both around 45–50 km) are the classic day-trip parks for cenote swimming and Mayan culture, and they're easy to book as excursions rather than full-day relocations. The town itself has decades of tourism infrastructure behind it, so renters shouldn't expect anything improvised — restaurants, pharmacies, tour operators and transport are all well established.

Selling or Renting Your Week Here

If you own a week at Ocean Maya Royale and are ready to move it on, BidMyTimeshare.com lets you list it for resale or rent directly, owner to owner. You set your own asking price, buyers and renters contact you through the platform, and no commission is taken on the sale — you simply pay a one-time listing fee to post your ad. That's a meaningfully different arrangement from going through the resort's own resale channel or a traditional broker, where commissions and markups are common.

Because Ocean Maya Royale is an independent resort, resale transfers are typically handled through the resort's owners' association or on-site management rather than a branded corporate resale desk. Before you agree on a price with a buyer, it's worth confirming directly with the resort what the current transfer fee is and what the annual maintenance fee stands at, since these figures aren't fixed by us and can change. A buyer taking over your week should also ask exactly what transfers with it — the usage rights and RCI exchange eligibility, for instance — versus anything tied personally to the original owner.

What Renters and Buyers Typically Look For

Renters coming to Ocean Maya Royale are usually drawn by the private beach access and all-inclusive format — it removes the guesswork of dining out every night. Buyers researching a resale week tend to ask about the season or week being offered, whether RCI exchange is active on that unit, and what the annual fees currently run. Being upfront about these details in your listing — along with clear photos and the exact week or points available — tends to attract more serious enquiries from buyers.

Practical Notes for Getting There

Cancún International Airport is the gateway for Ocean Maya Royale, about 45 km north, with the drive south on Highway 307 typically taking 45 minutes to an hour. Peak season runs from December through April, when the weather is most reliable; hurricane season (June–November) brings a higher chance of rain and storms, though resorts in the area are well equipped to manage it. If you're exchanging in through RCI, coordinate dates with your exchange company well in advance, as popular weeks at Caribbean coast resorts tend to book up early.
