Reviewed Nov 21, 2024The hotel location looks like a residential area on the lagoon side; however is not far from Presidente Intercontinental hotel, where one can enjoy first class facilities on the beach, restaurants, large pool, etc. To do that you need to pass through hotel lobby to access above facilities. Public transportation toward Downtown is fairly convenient R1 and R2 busses, just 50 cents USD fare. Overall, Grand Royal Lagoon hotel for the budget price is acceptable.

Reviewed Nov 20, 2022I give 4 stars because it was exactly and what I expected and wanted, a mid range hotel that is tucked out the way but within waking distance of everything. This included the 360 surf hire shack, one of the main activities I wanted to do during my 2 weeks in Cancun.
The room was of a decent standard for the price with comfy king-size bed, wifi, security box, pool, and 24 hour hot water. The staff were helpful and friendly enough.
Only thing I would say was that it seemed to be more local families staying there so wasn't as much opportunity to meet people, as a solo traveller, but that's not on the hotel so if you are looking for a reasonable room in a good location (regular buses run if you don't like to walk) and at a reasonable price you could do a lot worse!

AVOID THIS HOTEL! It is not worth it. This hotel was very shady from the beginning. The sheets were so smelly, there was ants everywhere, toilets wouldn’t flush, and the air conditioning was leaking.The only thing good about this place was the location. I would have overlooked all this had I not experienced such terrible customer service when my bag was stolen from reception. I requested to leave my bags at the front desk in case I would not be able to return before checkout time. Was told it was not a problem. When I came bag one bag was missing. I was told there was no way it was stolen since it was very secure always locked when everyone was away. I asked to see the security cameras, but they started acting sketchy and was told they did not have access to them. I requested to speak with the manager, he said cameras weren’t working, even though the camera at the front of the entrance was clearly ON. They didn’t offer to check the log of people coming in or ask around. They told me it was MY FAULT for leaving them there as they don’t usually allow people to leave bags there. I was NOT told this in the beginning, had I known, I would have left my bags in my room and asked another member of our party to stay behind. At no point was I told it was not allowed or that there was no security. Manager and staff were extremely unhelpful. Manager was rude and said there was nothing he could do. How can a hotel have ZERO security?! I had to argue for over an hour to come to a solution.

She spoke very little English and was not happy about it. Finally got in our room on the 3rd floor no elevator. Two single beds that were rock hard. And one small pillow for one bed and no other. We paid extra each day for breakfast when we booked the room. Breakfast was two pieces of rock hard toast (just for two people kids weren’t included )and then he gave us a menu for real food. The window in the bathroom was complete smashed and exposed to the outside. Luckily we were on the 3rd floor.
Finally to top it off we had someone absolutely losing his mind saying he can’t take it anymore and was going to kill himself while screaming and pounding on the walls and doors( person directly below us )
After about half an hour of this at 10 pm I finally went down and asked if they could call security. You could hear the man screaming (in English and Español) while I was asking the front desk to do something. They were not concerned until I told them my children were trying to sleep.

The good: The hotel is 100 yards from a small market which has a sandwich shop inside. Even closer is a small pizza place run by an Italian fellow using a brick, wood-fired oven. A grocery is within walking distance. The grounds are well maintained and sit on a bay. Signs warn of crocodiles in the water. The owners (man and wife) were in the office when needed. One night the music by the pool was too loud and I went to the office (no phones in rooms) to ask if they would turn the music down. Before I got back to my room, the music was turned off. The shower had plenty of hot water, was roomy, and didn’t have a water-softener. Maid service was offered daily but left an envelope requesting tips two days before checkout.
The bad: The A/C had to run constantly so the humidity wouldn’t takeover. Wet clothes didn’t dry because of the humidity in the room. The free breakfast was outdoors in a thatch hut by the water. It consisted of 10-12 bite-sized slices of watermelon, cantaloupe, or papaya, 2 pieces of toast, coffee, and a small glass of, what tasted like, tang. We stopped eating the free breakfast after day two, when a bird flew over to where the fruit was prepared and held and stole a piece off a plate, after which, it was served to me missing the piece of fruit. Not hygienic to eat with the crows.
For me, the good outweighed the bad. Your mileage may vary.
