Cancún hotels near Royal Yak Casino and Sports Book

Cons: The food was not always to the highest or consistent standard in all the restaurants compared to the luxurious style of the hotel. The pillows are uncomfortable. One of our rooms needed an upgrade in the bathroom.

Cons: The food was bad. I kept on trying to give this place 2nd and 3rd chances to see if they had anything good. But I was constantly disappointed. It was edible, but far from good. The nail in the coffin is when we got a taco from the airport and it was better than all the food we had at this hotel. Room felt a little dirty, shower leaked, shower glass door had someone's name scratched into it.

Cons: Staff is pushy to up-sell other products

Cons: Hotel guests start "reserving" lounge chairs by the pool around 7am by leaving towels there; then they don't come back til much later. This is to be expected I guess, not an issue with the hotel itself. Just good to be aware of before you go.

Cons: I wish the hotel could’ve accommodated our group of friends and been closers together, because the elevators were sometime slow

Cons: This visit it wasn't too crowded but I've been there in the past where you have to stalk out your place at the pool. We went because we love the place and got a great deal through Kayak I couldn't afford it at regular price. I would love to get notification that Live Aqua wasn't crowded and had a deal going on - I'd be there again in a minute.

Cons: that I couldn't stay longer

Cons: The aromatherapy is too strong in some places. Painting going on in the main lobby the day we left - left me with a BIG headache. We had to check out of our room at noon. Planned to grab a quick lunch before leaving but nothing available between 12-1 except room service and a couple of places outside in the 100+ temps.

Cons: This place would’ve been a solid 3*value with a five star staff but that’ll leave noisy night club next-door ruined it for us

Cons: 1.The noise. 2. The terribly average food; one person making omelettes and a long line to wait for food. 3. The lack of room bathrobes or slippers. 4. Bellman who do not bring in your luggage or take it to your room. 5 The constant pool party atmosphere. 3. The 3 empty beer bottles sitting in the same place in the stairwell for 4 days. 4. The small exercise room. 5 Staff does not set up umbrellas. 6. I must “exchange” a card token for a beach towel every day. 7. Locals selling EVERYTHING on the property beaches. Despite booking months in advance online getting a 1st floor room and heating everything outside - resort at capacity and no opportunity to move rooms. This is a place for a party - not for relaxation and quiet.

Cons: i was sober. i was polite. yet the bartender on the second to and last day of my stay poured me a mojito with flat soda. beer that was half foam twice. tequila shot with no salt on rim as he did with previous customer. I was 1 of 3 people at the bar. I offended him somehow. all i was was nice and polite to him.

Cons: Making reservations for the specialty restaurants several days ahead. We've stayed at Dreams resorts which didn't have this policy. The host just told us how long a wait we might have for a particular restaurant that evening and we came back when it was our turn.

Cons: Restaurants not so great, although buffets very good. In room bathroom water closets with louver on doors was odd. Nobody wants to hear their spouse going to the bathroom. Public rest rooms were very hot in water closets. Water / mini bar replacement did not happen everyday. Our room was not cleaned one day. Spa was ok, but no tour given to explain what other amenities were available in the spa. Massage table sqeeked so loudly, it was interruptive and distracting during the massage. Why you can't convert to US dollars in the lobby is beyond me.

Cons: The food was lacking but that is somewhat understood at a resort.

Cons: There was nothing I do not like about this place

Cons: Time share push after check in. Just insist that you want to go right up to your room and dodge this (they were not aggressive when we did this).

Cons: I've stayed at two other resorts in Cancun and a third in Cozumel. All of which were competively priced with this one and offered equivalent all inclusive packages. All had nicer rooms, higher quality finishes to give a luxury feel, and professional staff. 1. The Rooms The first room my wife and I experienced was less than ideal. The ceiling was so short we both could reach up and touch the ceiling. All bathrooms lacked ventilation so mold and paint bubbling should be expected. The first room's bathroom had a curious layout with lights hanging out of the socket. It was fixed shortly thereafter, but if I had kids I would not have accepted the room. Exposed electrical surfaces in a wet space with no ventilation is a disaster waiting to happen. We payed to upgrade our room to the jacuzzi room which looked much more like a normal hotel room. The bathroom still didn't have any ventilation. in addition, the tile work wasn't very impressive. The finishes looked very sloppy and didn't seem to have a luxury feel. Get what you pay for... 2. Staff aforementioned are the staff that were very helpful and good at their jobs. What I was concerned about is that very few people were concerned about making our honeymoon special. Bartenders were always very nice, maybe a little too nice.. There were numerous spring breakers and Its always okay to let lose. There needs to be more discretion as to when to cut somebody off. Every day there was someone being wheelchaired out. Alcohol poisoning got pretty serious for some of these guys and could have easily been taken care of. ive spent spring break with my buddies before down in a different resort and not only were the rooms and facilities much nicer, the staff were willing to look out for you and help you out.... They were so far gone they couldn't tell the difference between water and tequila. much of the staff seemed to be more concerned about helping/ serving the spring breakers over the families. numerous families found it difficult to sleep at night with spring breakers coming around at night being extremely boisterous. I woke up every night from the noise. Solution that other resorts use... Escort them back to their rooms. 3. Restuarants Always had decent food. Also had plenty of seating with nice views of the sea. However, half the time the waiter would forget our drinks or take a long time to get our drinks. One day I finished my entire meal before getting our drinks. in this case it really depends on your waiter. There are some really good ones and some that don't seem to care.

Cons: They need to give more food options and make some balconies so it can be standard. It’s kind of weird to not be able to let you swim wear dry outside

Cons: Many dishes were not great; they are acceptable but not something to rave about. Very busy hotel; not for those wanting a quiet getaway Hotel activities are too loud especially in the lobby at night Only two sets of elevators in entire building; not enough for the capacity of guests of building Always long lines at front desk; they need to add more staff during checkout time.

Cons: The only negative was that our room location was sometimes a little noisy at night

Cons: It is a bit dated in the lobby. The food is what I would consider average. If I book another all-inclusive in Cancun , I would look elsewhere because of the food. We usually go for more than a week and I don't think we would enjoy the dining experience here for that long.

Cons: I could hear everything going on in the next room. The rooms smelled very strong perfume odor. The woman at the front desk was rude. Not the best customer service but, ok for the price.

Cons: The sea gulls were a bit annoying. That’s all I can really find at the moment, the place was perfect.

Cons: The buffet could have more variety each day.

Cons: They need to include the Internet

Cons: The food sometimes was just ok, but that happens when you have buffets.

Cons: I hated the fact that Internet was $17 U.S. Dollars for 24 hours! It was supposed to be free! Everyone everywhere wanted/asked for tips.

Cons: The facilities are dated. Towels were a dingy brown green color. Restaurants were never consistently open. People come to Mexico for Mexican food and the Mexican restaurant was closed most days we were there.

Cons: Beds were uncomfortable at all unfortunately. Food at the main restaurant was repetitive and a bit low quality. Nonalcoholic drinks were low quality and no fresh juices or cocktails.

Cons: The only thing was they need to add toilet covers around the resorts restrooms, pillows a bit hard.

Cons: The only thing I did not like was the elevator, it was really small and no AC so I felt like I was suffocating.

Cons: Internet was not included.

Cons: Noise in lobby, annoying internet (one device at a time), tiny beach, closed playboy casino next door, gym

Cons: It can be loud, and if you like your sleep, I recommend a room with the lagoon view for a quieter atmosphere.

Cons: In general terms it is a good hotel but expensive for what they actually offer, I wouldn't recommend it unless it was cheaper (for the same money you can go somewhere way better). The things I did´t like: - Hard Rock Hotels are no the same everywhere, we stayed at Panama Megapolis last year and was nicer, it had better rooms, facilities (eg: under water speaker in the pool) and service. - They host Weddings so you need to consider that large groups may be staying as well. In our case, the group staying was definitely NOT what I expected, besides being way too loud and quite drunk, they where rude, just consider that on the Wedding night some of the girls almost got into a fight with local hookers who where in the lobby bar (smash bar), after this, bar tenders kept on giving them alcohol which I think is unacceptable (toilets even ended up puked) (you need to consider that there were families with kids when this happened, plus, what are hookers doing in the lobby in the first place??).... Ok, we all wanna have fun, drink and laugh, but this isn't "college spring break"!! - Jetted pool is for "VIPs" only and not available for regular guests in the main pool area (the thing is that "VIPs" didn't use it much, so usually was available but "unreachable"). - It is a loud hotel, one night the Karaoke (held just by the pool) was on up until 2 am (my wife says it was until 4, but I fell asleep before she did xD). - In some places the service was not good, one night at smash bar it took me 15 minutes to get a dink (bar tenders where only looking for tips), next day I went down with all my 1 dollar bills and everything changed!!

Cons: The main negative point is the smell of the bathroom drain. I stayed in a room on the 10th floor and decided to stay another day so they stay me on the 5th floor the smell is very unpleasant ... you have to take a shower and something by plugging the drain so that the odor does not go to the room. My friends were staying on the 3rd floor the odor was even worse!

Cons: Our privacy lights were broken, it sounded like a construction site all night just outside our door...

Cons: The fact that we were told ocean view but not guaranteed ... the extra 30% charged for services with resort points

Cons: I checked in and didn't receive a special set up in my room like I had on my last visit. I also was not told about my resort credits and when I asked about them checking out they told me I had to use them that day. I was very upset because I could of used them the 3 days I was there. No one had told me about how many credits I had upon checking in.

Cons: While there were always options for food, the windows for certain things to be open were relatively small. For example, if you wanted a sandwich, the place didn't open until 4:00.

Cons: The biggest issue this this hotel was the poor internet service. You pay $37USD per device for 3 days and we had issues staying connected to it anywhere but in the lobby. When we complained, the manager told us there wasn't anything they could do but complain to the company. The food options were extremely limited, but the food they had was ok. The minibar in the rooms was also very limited. There were just a few beers, a few sodas and 3-4 bottles of water. More options or bars that were open later would have been helpful. The location on the beach was also not as nice as other places I've been. The water was very rough and the beach wasn't as nice as other locations I've been to in Cancun.

Cons: I wasn't expecting high quality food, having been to a number of all inclusive resorts in the past. However, a large percentage of the items served here were bad. I don't mean they were not prepared well, rather they were at very stages of spoiled. Worst was the breakfast meat served for room service, which reeked when sliced into and was many days expired. We quickly got in the habit of first taking a small sample before consuming anything. This combined with indifference by the staff, particularly at the front desk, should cause you pause if you are considering staying at this location. Also, do not believe that your package includes everything described. WiFi is not included, and ocean view may require you to stand on a chair to see over the wall. Kayak should drop this location or appropriately update the descriptions to reflect reality.

Cons: The wifi service was poor. While other hotels picked up on the beach the wifi at this hotel didn't even pick up in the rooms. It was a bit pricey for very spotty service.

Cons: Everything

Cons: The air conditioning is automated in the rooms. So it cannot be modified by the guest at your own pleasure. In addition, once closed the dinner restaurants, the only thing there is for food is a Deli where the only thing they serve is sandwich. They should include more variety, such as pizza, hamburgers, etc.

Cons: Good was decent. Wish they had more resturants to choose from

Cons: Limited food choices, not enough variety. Entertainment was mediocre.

Cons: All was fine but if you want to be in heart of cancun hotel nightlife then you are 10 minute plus drive away. Food was fine but obviously if you are in a more luxurious place the cuisine is of a different caliber.

Cons: Our room was great, first floor, right on the beach. This posed a problem later on in the evening. There was a wedding right outside of our room on the beach, and the music from the reception was quite loud into the evening. We didn't mind this too much as we were very exhausted from traveling that evening and were able to fall asleep quickly, but for some, this may be a pain point. The bed in our room was also quite uncomfortable. Very firm, sort of like sleeping on a box spring only. The hot tub was being repaired and was not working when we arrived in the evening. The staff runs really slow with the check in/check out process. Be prepared to wait a while when you are arriving and leaving the hotel. There is only one main entrance to the hotel, so we had to walk quite a ways from where we parked our car to our room inside the hotel. We really didn't mind this, but again, it may be a pain point for some, that no one offered to help us with our bags. The pool area closed around 10:00 at night, but you can walk up and down the beach in the evenings. The bathroom in our room was dark, damp, and there was mold growing in corners in the shower. It was in much need of a thorough cleaning. Overall we had a good first night in Cancun at this hotel. Its location on the beach made up for our dislikes.

Cons: I did like everything, nothing to say about, everything’s amazing

Cons: We didn't like the staff who were extremely rude on the phone and claimed that my friend and myself were liars. They called the room claiming that me and my friend were random girls that our friends had snuck into their room, when in reality we are all friends and had planned the trip together. They did not need to threaten to kick us out. My friend and myself had wrist bands to be at the resort. That was completely uncalled for.

Cons: Everything. Explode this dump ASAP

Cons: Shower is not working. Mirror is dirty, tissue holder has rust and not safe if it cut off your skin, resort must also work on its furnitures because the location is great but furnitures are old. Hallway must have carpet so whenever other guests are asleep it wouldn't bother them when someone is walking from the hallway especially kids who is running and playing around.

Cons: The hotel is outdated, the shower was broken. I paid for two beds and only got one bad they didn't have another room.

Cons: Me cobraron 1500 pesos por una persona extra por un niño de 11 años, aún teniendo derecho a 2 niños. Y en el restaurante me cobraron 2 veces por la misma cuenta

Cons: The noise due to the club next door, but I did visit during spring break so it might be louder then.

Cons: Had to change room because of wifi issue. No help given. Showe was broken. Walls very thin.

Cons: Very very old dated room! I should have know while standing at the desk listening to all the complaints of other guests that this was a poor place to stay!

Cons: We paid for an ocean view room and we got something in the 1st floor and when you look out your window all you see are cabanas and people. Luckily we brought it up to their attention and they gave us something better BUT not until the next day. In my opinion, the rooms on the bottom floor, although technically facing the ocean, shouldnt be given to guest as "oceanview" seeing as you CANT see the ocean.

Cons: Towels not replaced sometimes

Cons: Noise from clubs

Cons: Slow elevators.. not enough staff to take orders on the beach. Shouldn’t charge for coffee in the room.
