The Royal Haciendas by Holiday Inn Club Vacations

The resort and its setting

The Royal Haciendas by Holiday Inn Club Vacations is an all-inclusive beach resort on the Riviera Maya, directly off the Cancún–Tulum highway in Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo. Google's own editorial summary describes it as a vibrant, all-inclusive property with sea views, a spa and a pool with a swim-up bar — the kind of resort that suits owners wanting a straightforward, all-inclusive week rather than a self-catering unit. With a 4.5-star average across more than 3,700 reviews, it's a well-established name on this stretch of coast.

Playa del Carmen and the Riviera Maya

Playa del Carmen is one of the main hubs of the Riviera Maya, known for its pedestrianised Quinta Avenida (Fifth Avenue) lined with shops, restaurants and bars, and for being the main ferry departure point for Cozumel. The wider region is one of the most visited parts of Mexico, with cenotes, Mayan ruins and reef diving all within easy reach of Playa del Carmen's hotel zone. Owners and renters alike are typically drawn here for the combination of beach, nightlife and day-trip options rather than for peace and quiet alone — worth bearing in mind when describing a week to a prospective buyer or guest.

Selling or renting a week here

If you own a week at The Royal Haciendas and no longer use it, you can list it for sale or rent directly on BidMyTimeshare.com. It's an owner-to-owner marketplace: you set your own asking price, pay a one-time listing fee, and we take 0% commission on the sale or rental — there's no agent taking a cut, and buyers or renters contact you (or message through the platform) to arrange the deal.

A few points specific to Holiday Inn Club Vacations are worth knowing before you set a price:

- **Transfer fee:** Holiday Inn Club Vacations does not publish a standard resale transfer fee. The $1,200 figure quoted on the brand's Horizons page is an exit fee for leaving the ownership through the company itself — not a fee for transferring a resale to a new owner. Buyers should confirm current transfer costs directly with the resort or the owners' association before finalising a price. - **Right of first refusal:** Holiday Inn Club Vacations generally exercises a right of first refusal on resales, meaning the company can step in and match a sale before it's passed to an outside buyer. - **What a resale buyer receives:** points-based ownerships generally revert to a fixed deeded week once resold, except at three specific resorts (South Beach, Lake Geneva and Gatlinburg/Smoky Mountain). The Royal Haciendas is not one of those exceptions, so a buyer here should expect to receive a deeded week rather than a flexible points balance. - **Transfer time:** there's no published standard timeframe for completing a transfer, so it's worth building some flexibility into your sale timeline. - **Exchange network:** ownerships here are affiliated with RCI, which is worth mentioning in a listing if you've used it to exchange into other resorts.

Be upfront about these points in your listing description — buyers researching Holiday Inn Club Vacations resales will ask about them anyway, and a clear listing tends to move faster than one that leaves questions unanswered.

What renters typically look for

Short-term renters booking an all-inclusive week in Playa del Carmen are usually comparing sea-view rooms, resort facilities (pool, spa, swim-up bar) and proximity to Quinta Avenida and the ferry terminal for Cozumel day trips. Mentioning the resort's all-inclusive format and its location on the main Cancún–Tulum corridor in your listing helps renters quickly judge whether it suits their trip.

Practical notes

Always confirm the current annual maintenance fee and any outstanding transfer or exit costs directly with Holiday Inn Club Vacations or the resort's owners' association before agreeing a sale price — these figures aren't published centrally and can change. Buyers should ask the same questions before making an offer, particularly around the right of first refusal, since it can affect how quickly a sale completes.
