We stayed 7 nights at Royalton Splash Riviera Cancun with our 3.5-year-old and friends who also have two young daughters. We travel to Mexico every 3 months and, despite reading mixed reviews, decided to give this property a try. Unfortunately, the experience fell short in many areas.
Check-in on day one took almost 2 hours at the Expedia lounge as staff kept going back and forth with their manager over text about possible upgrades. After all the delays we ended up keeping our original room. When we walked in, we noticed visible mold in the bathroom, and the building itself was surrounded by active construction. At night, even with white noise, we heard cleaning crews in the hallways, and at 6am loud banging and dragging furniture above our suite woke our daughter. After complaints and more back and forth, we were eventually moved to another room the next day.
The food was another disappointment. The buffet repeated the same items daily, often ran out of food, and the poolside options were extremely limited. For a family stay, variety and convenience were lacking. The resort also felt much smaller than advertised, with limited activities, and would have been boring if not for traveling with our group of friends.
On a positive note, some staff stood out for their service, especially Eduardo, our concierge, and Mardo, a buffet waiter. Still, overall this resort does not live up to Autograph Collection standards. I would recommend looking at other resorts.
