Royal Playa Del Carmen

Hi all, just wondering if it is as much a problem late June early July for the towel game that I keep hearing about?

We were there at the beginning of July last year and had no problems finding chairs. sometimes they werent exactly where we wanted them to be but always a place.

I was there last July and it was often ridiculous. More so around the pool than on the beach, though the beach wasn't a picnic either. I have started a new policy; I won't move anything personal (ie. flip flops, glasses, books, etc.), but I will toss a lone towel if I am out there at a reasonable time and there is no one in sight. Of course I am a 6'4", 240 lb ex college baseball player and people tend to not get too excited when they find that I absconded with "their" spot.

Hello to all staying at the Royal June/July. Just booked our trip from June 30th - July 8th. Never been there, nor to Mexico, and am looking forward to it! Last year we went to Punta Cana, but I wanted something that wasn't so remote this year.

I can't speak for this resort, but from the other AI's I have been to (always mid summer), I learned not to play the towel game. If there is a chair open, great, if not, I will just stay in the pool and leave my towel near the edge. On the beach, I don't care if it is close to the water. That's what walking is for.

I have to wake up at 6AM during the year to get my two youngest off to school, so the last thing I want to do while on vacation is get up early to get a chair. NOT. (g)

8 of us went last year in June. The resort is great so you will enjoy it. We didnt have too many problems with towels or chairs that I remember. We would get out by the pool early though and stake out a spot. ENJOY!
