Getting to the Resort:
Park Royal Golden Cancun is located in the hotel zone of Cancun. I would highly suggest setting up your transportation to the resort ahead of time. Yes, you can just grab a taxi upon arrival but I personally prefer to use one of the shuttle services. I usually book with Speedy Shuttle through Expedia. For a roundtrip shared shuttle it only cost about $15-18 USD. You can also do private shuttles which will cost more, I am unsure of the price as I have never used this option.
At the airport, once you go through customs, head out the door and look for the Speedy Shuttle/Expedia sign (or whichever company you book with). They will check you in and tell you where to wait on your shuttle. It can get crazy out there which is why I always suggest setting this up ahead of time to avoid any stress!Â
I only had to wait about 10 minutes before I was on the shuttle and heading to my resort.
Check In:
I arrived at Park Royal around 6pm and was immediately greeted by hotel staff as I stepped off the shuttle. I was shown where the check in desk was located and was helped very quickly. After getting my wristband and room key I met quickly with another staff member who gave me a map of the resort, an overview of all the places to eat, where they were located, etc. This was very helpful since it’s usually a bit hard to find your way around when first arriving!Â
Accommodations:
For my stay at Park Royal I was in room 2208. This room was very spacious and had a king size bed. Other features include a sitting area, 2 full length mirrors, many outlets to plug things in, and a safe to keep your valuables. I’d also like to mention there is a refrigerator & hairdryer in the room. I had read a few reviews on Trip Advisor prior to my arrival that the rooms did not have either, but my room had both! Maybe this is something new, but I felt it was worth mentioning.Â

There are also accessible routes around the grounds + elevators. (I am not able to comment on the accessible rooms as I did not stay in one.)

This place looks great. I have never done an all-inclusive.
Looks like a cool place to stay and enjoy Cancun
Oh my, I want to go there now! Love the photos. Looks amazing!
This looks like a great resort to visit! I love Cancun.
looks gorgeous!!!
That beach access looks amazing and I love the all inclusive factor!
I enjoy all-inclusive because I like trying new drinks and food.
Nice beach area. I like how Mexican hotels have all the travertine floors and showers
Thank you for your thorough post. This looks like a great place to visit.
Looks like a great place to visit! All inclusive takes the stress out of planning for sure. Looks like a great value.
Mexico is my favorite beach destination…been there 27x but not to this resort. May need to check it out next time.
Looks great! Look forward to travelling again.
Would love to go on an all-inclusive resort one day. Nice video coverage of the hotel room & great photos, too. Makes it more difficult to just stay home and not (yet) able travel. Can’t wait for the pandemic to be over.
This looks gorgeous! May have to check it out!
Looks like a great resort!
