The Royal Haciendas

The Resort & Setting

The Royal Haciendas sits on the Cancún–Tulum highway, right at the edge of Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo. It's part of the Royal Resorts collection, known for all-inclusive service along this stretch of coast, and Google reviewers give it a solid 4.5 out of 5 from well over 3,700 ratings. The resort's own editorial summary describes it simply as a vibrant all-inclusive beach property with sea views, a spa and a pool with a swim-up bar — the kind of layout that suits owners who want a relaxed, resort-based week rather than one built around excursions.

The Area & Things to Do

Playa del Carmen is one of the main hubs of the Riviera Maya, with Quinta Avenida (Fifth Avenue) running through the centre of town — a long pedestrian strip of restaurants, shops and nightlife a short trip from the resort. The town is also a launch point for day trips: ferries to Cozumel leave from the Playa del Carmen pier, and the Maya ruins at Tulum are a well-known half-day excursion along the coast. Cancún's hotel zone and international airport lie to the north along the same highway the resort sits on. Owners renting out a week here often highlight this location to prospective guests — within easy reach of the coast's main attractions but outside the busiest part of central Cancún.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at The Royal Haciendas and want to sell or rent it out, BidMyTimeshare.com works as an owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week yourself, you set the asking price, and interested buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform. There's no commission on the sale — sellers simply pay a small one-time listing fee to post their week.

Because The Royal Haciendas is part of the Royal Resorts brand, resale transfers go through the Royal Resorts owners' association rather than an independent management company. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, confirm directly with Royal Resorts the current transfer fee, whether a right of first refusal applies to your specific week, and how long the transfer process typically takes — these details can vary by unit and contract, so get them in writing rather than relying on what a previous owner paid. Be clear with buyers about exactly what does and doesn't transfer with a resale: the usage rights tied to your week transfer, but any account-specific perks or promotions the resort may have offered the original purchaser generally do not carry over to a resale buyer.

One point worth flagging to any buyer: weeks at The Royal Haciendas have verified access to both the RCI and Interval International exchange networks, which is useful to mention if you're marketing your week to someone who may want the flexibility to trade into other resorts rather than always travelling to Playa del Carmen.

Practical Notes

Renters researching The Royal Haciendas are generally looking for confirmation of the all-inclusive format, proximity to Playa del Carmen's centre, and reassurance that the booking is a legitimate private rental rather than a resort-run transaction — all things you can set out clearly in your own listing description, along with your week number and unit size. Sellers should have their contract details, maintenance fee statements and any resort account information ready, since buyers will usually ask for these before committing. As with any resale, always confirm current annual maintenance fees directly with Royal Resorts before finalising a sale, since BidMyTimeshare.com does not set or collect these fees.

Getting There

The resort is located at Km 289+10 of the Cancún–Tulum highway, in central Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo — roughly an hour's drive from Cancún International Airport, which is the usual gateway airport for this part of the Riviera Maya.
