Playa del Carmen Occidental Royal Hideaway Playcar
Posted: Wed April 30, 2008 03:10 AM UTC
If it's all inclusive, why don't the rooms have fully stocked bars in them like many other all-inclusives. Why is there a depressingly low level of entertainment there. Why does the main pool close in the evenings? Why is the "beach" littered with 20' long black bags filled with sand? They look like beached whales? Why would the desk staff ,who operate 24/7 refuse to give a wake up call to your room, despite your orders with the claim,"it's too early".
If you are looking to be Bored out your skin, for the 4 or 5 thousand dollars you might have spent to stay there, then you have found the right place. Otherwise, If you're looking to have someFUN, I might suggest you try any one of the great all-inclusives in Jamaica. You get much more "Bang for the Buck"
there and are better treated and appreciated..

I guess you forgot to take the big L off your forehead before you checked in.
1. They have staff that delivers anything you want when you ask.
2. Some vacationers consider their family and friends entertainment
3. So 99% of guests won't be bothered by Yahoos
4. To maintain the sand they have from erosion due too bad pier placement.
5. The dreaded Black Plastic Whale?
6. This just doesn't make sense.
7. Thank you.
8. re-read point 3.
9. banging is sometimes free
