The Royal Haciendas is expansive and never feels overcrowded. And at the same time, nothing is ever too far away. This expansive resort is in the shape of two horseshoes, each a mirror image of the other. Guests will find identical amenities on each side. So, while the resort feels huge and never crowded, guests also don’t have to walk miles to reach restaurants or pools.

Families of any size can be accommodated here with the variety of guestroom options. Anywhere from a family of three to six can fit comfortably here and nearly all rooms feature breathtaking views of the ocean and pools. There are several pools, including kiddie pools, to relax by and the sand is only steps away from the pools. Kids will love kayaking or paddle boarding and the supervised kids’ club will entertain them for hours. Even teens have their own space here, where they can play video games and just get away from parents.

The all-inclusive package includes unlimited food and drink from the onsite restaurants, and there is a small supermarket onsite if you prefer to cook meals in the fully equipped kitchen in your villa. For breathtaking views, no overcrowding and plenty of things to do with the family, the Royal Haciendas is your home away from home.

There are 251 villas in the resort, with a large courtyard in the center of each horseshoe with pathways and grassy areas that lead to the water. Most of the villas feature excellent pool and sea views. Ground-floor villas allow guests to walk out from their patio and be only a few steps away from the pool.

Guests can book a guestroom, suite or a combination of the two, which they call a villa. Complimentary and quality Wi-Fi can be found throughout the resort. Cribs are available upon request.
