I

The Royal Haciendas® is proof that dreams come true. The best in beachfront living is quietly nestled in an elite oceanfront enclave of the Riviera Maya’s most prestigious master-planned golf community. It’s time to come home.
The Best of Tropical Mexico in One Spectacular Setting.
S o e as y to fly h er e. R e mar ka b ly safe .
W
ith so many flights into the Caribbean’s most easily accessible international airport, flying
into Cancún is as easy as flying from one U.S. destination to another.
T
he modern airport is just one of the examples of Mexico’s heavy investment in this sun-
blessed tropical getaway. Four-lane highways make travel between Riviera Maya’s favorite sites quick and easy. Advanced water treatment and medical facilities give you peace of mind.
J
ust 45 minutes after your airport pickup, a gracious staff greets you at The Royal Haciendas® and ushers you into a world that weaves the charm of Mexico’s family-oriented heritage with the modern services and amenities of great hotels.
T h e R is e o f a G r e at N ati o n an d A P o p ular To urist De stinatio n . While Mexico is rich in natural resources, cultural history and dramatic scenery, the people of this country have long been recognized for their gracious hospitality. As Mexico rose to one of the world’s Top 10 tourist destinations, the government launched a $223 billion National Infrastructure Plan to make travel more comfortable and efficient, as well as to secure the vitality of an economy expected to grow into the world’s 7th largest by 2050. The government invested billions in Cancún and the Riviera Maya to create a vigorous tourist economy, which contributes to rising land values as more people vacation here: With biodiversity that includes 10% of the world’s plant and animal species, along with sugarwhite beaches sparkling against the turquoise sea, it’s no wonder more and more people are buying vacation opportunities in Cancún and the Riviera Maya. The stage is now set for Mexico to become the largest retirement destination for Americans outside the United States.
So Much To Do And a Lifetime to Explore It.

S
ay hello to vacation living in the Yucatán. Ten, twenty or thirty years from now, you’ll still find
unexpected corners that will intrigue, excite and delight.
I
t all starts with the Western Hemisphere’s longest barrier reef, stretching from Cancún all the way
down the coast to Belize. These waters teem with beautifully colored tropical fish and exotic coral.
F
or millennia, the surf has tumbled across this reef, crushing coral and building the Caribbean’s
finest beach. It sparkles white and feels sugar-soft underfoot. Owing to its reflective properties, the
sand remains cool even at midday.
I
n this land of abundance the Maya thrived for thousands of years. Carefully excavated cities reflect
amazing scientific and architectural advances, as well as artifacts attesting to trade with cultures throughout the Caribbean.
R i v i e ra M aya’ s e c o l o gical th em e parks
T
he Riviera Maya’s ecological theme parks are wonderful opportunities to invest in deeper relationships
with family and friends. Dive into a cool, freshwater cenote, swim with dolphins, fly through the forest along a zip line or watch a Mayan festival. There’s so much variety and so much fun. Imagine what your kids will remember for a lifetime.
Xcaret: An eco-archaeological theme park with wildlife exhibits and a restored Mayan site showcasing ancient ceremonies.
Xel-Há: An ecological theme park and natural aquarium. Swim with dolphins. Watch sea turtles. Snorkel among tropical fish.
Xplor: A nature park with limestone caves, grottos and underground rivers. Eleven zip lines whisk visitors 1.8-miles through the jungle canopy.
Selvática: Fly through the tropical forest canopy along a spectacular zip line circuit. Then take a short ride and plunge into a cool, crystal-clear freshwater cenote.
Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve: This 1.3 millionacre preserve is named after a Mayan phrase, “Where the sky is born.” Discover spectacular beauty along the reef, the beach and a forest teeming with tropical birds, flowers and wildlife.

Your one-week, Two-bedroom villa can equal a Two-week stay You may decide after one wonderful vacation in the Riviera Maya that you would like to stay for two weeks next year instead of one. Your villa gives you the flexibility to do just that. You may use the one-bedroom suite portion of your villa for the week you own and timetrade your lockoff bedroom into the following week. In effect this gives you two weeks for the price of one! However, these weeks need not be consecutive. You may trade the lockoff bedroom or the one-bedroom suite (or both) for completely different seasons of the year. You can divide your spacious two-bedroom, two-bathroom villa into a one-bedroom suite and a lockoff hotel room with bathroom to suit your vacation needs. Each section has a private entrance and can be used by guests independently of the party occupying the other section. Look at the many ways you can use your villa.

became Royal Resorts. They had a mission to create a vacation experience with the grace, service and personal attention of an officers club, in an atmosphere that was relaxed, friendly, easygoing and remarkably clean and manicured.

We have traveled all over the world, but continue to come back year after year to our favorite home away from home, The Royal Haciendas. It truly does feel as though we are the only owners and that our villa has been waiting for us all year. The familiarity of returning to the same vacation spot always ensures warm and welcoming staff, knowing just what to expect and reconnecting with resort friends from years past. For over ten years, Cancún and Playa del Carmen have been our vacation sanctuary. We count the days to our return each year.

Marilyn and I feel the Royal Resorts is our home away from home. We purchased our first week 11 years ago. Now we spend four weeks a year at the Royal Resorts. From the bellmen and housekeepers to the rest of the Royal Staff, they make us feel special. We are very fortunate to be able to experience travel to other vacation spots but Royal Resorts always remains our favorite. We have total trust and faith in the Royal Resorts experience and to this day we always count the number of days to the next Royal vacation.

We’ve been members of the Royal Resorts since 1989, and have loved being part of the family. It has been a second home. Our children grew up here and still keep coming back. In fact, family and friends have joined our Royal family. They love The Royal Haciendas as much as we do. The beach is beautiful and very peaceful. Within a five-minute drive, we enjoy the nightlife of Playa del Carmen. Our most memorable times are right here.
