Oh awesome! it's gonna be a hot one down there! Not sure if this is something you are interested in, but that is the time of year when the Whale Sharks are in season and it's absolutely INCREDIBLE to swim with them! We did it while we were there... mind blowing for sure! -Ashley
Yay!! We had an absolute blast while we were there! You will enjoy it! Did you get an Ocean view or Bay view? Be sure to read our blog for some tips, like specifically if you are wanting to biy a certain alcohol (bottle)... don't buy thru the resort because they charge double the cost 👍 theadventureencounters.com/royalton-chic-cancun Thanks for stopping by, we appreciate it!

Oh awesome!!! It really is an awesome resort! We would love to go back a second time!! We were really impressed with the food.. especially for being an all inclusive resort! Diamond club is the way to go!! Appreciate you stopping by 👍👍🙌 Are you guys doing any excursions? cheers 🍻 - Ashley from Adventure Encounters
Our pleasure! It was nice when we went, not much seaweed, but as the weatger gets warmer (and the water too), the seaweed gets thicker. When are you plannong your trip? Thanks for stopping by 🙌 -Ashley from Adventure Encounters
Thank you for the video me and my family are going to be there for my 40th birthday in March you making me want to change my room to the presidential suite
My pleasure!! Awesome! HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY!! Lol... that room was seriously huge 😂 Two showers... we had to make sire we showered in both 😂😂 Are you doing the Diamond club? Appreciate you stopping by 👍🙌 🍻 Ashley from Adventure Encounters
You had me at Cancun. I think your view is a better option and the room is absolutely incredible. The Resort is spectacular. Any water view like that is going to decrease the stress level massive. Awesome tour.
hi out of all the All inclusive resorts which resorts are your top 3 with a pretty beach and good enough food. Stayed at Four Seasons in Anguilla so trying to find something else is kind of difficult. Please advise? thank you.
Hello hello 👋 Thats a tough one, a staying at the Four Seasons in Anguilla! We stayed at the Four Seasons our first trip to Anguilla 👌 As farvas all inclusives, we really loved Sandals Emerald Bay in Exuma Bahamas ( www.anrdoezrs.net/click-9108586-11555828?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sandals.com%2F ). Exuma is very comparable to Anguilla... amazing food, beautiful resort, and it's adults only, and sits beach front. We also really loved the Lopesan Costa Bávaro in Punta Cana DR as well ( tidd.ly/3DNPUvi ). This is a a massive resort and sits on a beautiful beach as well. Food was delicious with a HUGE variety. It is a family friendly resort, but there are locations where they cater to adults only. And The Royalton Chic in Cancun we also really loved as well 👌 Royalton Chic in Cancun is not as laid back as Anguilla or Exuma, but is much busier & a bit more lively. Beach os beautiful but as I said... MUCH busier and it is an adults only resort as well. Hope that helps a bit! Do you have a favorite tropical destination? Thanks for stopping by, we appreciate it!

Thanks! And thank you for watching! The wine was included, but we bought the liquor. If you plan on purchasing bottles like we did, I would suggest purchasing at a liquor store, NOT the resort. The resort wanted double the price vs at the grocery/liquor store. In our blog, I give a couple of address & locations to get the liquor 👍 theadventureencounters.com/royalton-chic-cancun Thanks again for stopping by 👋 -Ashley from Adventure Encounters
Oh man, the private diamond club section - nice!!! The food there looks so good. A coconut drink is something I would love. Oh I remember this violin guy from your shorts. Seems like you guys had a blast!!!! No way on that cold pool!!! The buffet reminded me of Vegas Buffets!!! UA-camrs love their coffee for sure!!!! Nate is a beast with his workout segment!!! This segment keeps expanding, love it.
@Silvia HoardFor Vegas the Rio Buffett is my favorite, Venetian is my favorite hotel, and Beatles Loves is the best show I have seen anywhere. If you have any other questions let me know.
Hello! Yep! They are always changing up the Diamond Club BBQ & what is being cooked, so we always went down there every day and got something different. It was awesome! Are you planning a trip there soon? I am happy to help you book it, if you haven't already =) theadventureencounters.com/royalton-chic-cancun#3bedf005-41ba-4386-98df-b1fd2cbe907f Thanks for stopping by! -Ashley from Adventure Encounters
The rooftop pool was pretty much all to ourselves for the most part. The lower pools were a little bit busier, but it wasn't busy at all, which was really nice! Thanks again for stopping by! Cheers, Ashley from Adventure Encounters
Ya, it was pretty! Had a little bit if seaweed but we weren't bothered by it. Are you planning a trip to Mexico? Appreciate you stopping by 👋 - Ashley from Adventure Encounters
This place looks so amazing and the water is so blue. Your website is so cool and helpful!!!! I just love this format you have settled into. This is what happens when you are a big time UA-camr. It's great to have you back. Even though you guys were gone for a little bit, the quality of the video makes up for it. Yes, the "Work Out With Nate" segment. That view is nice!!! That room was pretty sweet!!! Seems like stand up showers are starting to take over. Your excitement is infectious.
You guys!! THANK YOU!! Making me blush over here! You know how much work goes into editing and trying to add on an additional piece with our website 🤯 We are all headed to be the next big UA-camrs 😉 Lol.. I almost didn't put Nate getting in a pump... but its kind of a tradition in our resort videos lol and its just not the same when he doesn't grab a weight 🤣 -Ash
You did a great job with this video. I’m checking in to this resort next week, you gave very good details. I can’t wait.!!! Thanks for adding information on your website.
Awesome, thank you for the feedback!! This really is a great resort and we would definitely go back! Are you guys considering the Diamond Club? In my opinion, it was worth the extra couple bucks! I can get this booked for you if you haven't booked yet 😉 Appreciate you stopping by! Cheers 🍻 Ashley from Adventure Encounters
@@AdventureEncounters Yes we are. Diamond Club is the way too go. You must go to the Royalton in St. Lucia & the 2 in The DR all 3 properties are amazing. Let me say your website ROCKS !!!!
Nice!! Diamond club is 100% the way to go! Oh!! We were just talking about doing a series of Royalton resorts! We are ready to travel if you couldn't tell lol (as everyone else is!). I may have to pick your brain about those locations!! Awe, I really appreciate that! We try to give as much info when traveling and different tips! Thank you so much for stopping by and the support! Safe travels!! Cheers, Ashley
Glad you enjoyed it! Oh my gosh, you guys will have a blast! We really enjoyed it! Don't forget to check out our travel tips to Cancun! Save yourself some $$ and hassle at the airport 👇 theadventureencounters.com/cancun-mexico Appreciate you stopping by!! 👋 ✋ -Ashley from Adventure Encounters
I'm going back in November and this is the room I booked. I had the ocean front version of this room but it's all booked up for the dates I'm going. Does the sunset view room have a jacuzzi tub on the balcony. I saw one on another UA-camr's video but I don't think I saw one in your video. I would love to have a jacuzzi on the balcony.
Oh fun! We had an absolute blast there! The larger rooms (chariman suite's & Presidential suite's) have a jacuzzi tub, but they are not on the balcony. On the top floor (rooftop) they do have enclosed cabana style rooms that have their own private jacuzzi/hot tubs, maybe that's what they were showing? To my knowledge, I don't think there are any jacuzzi's on the outside balcony of any rooms. I just looked at the Royalton's website and didn't find any rooms like that. I wish I could be more help to you, my appologies. Thanks for stopping by and dropping us a comment =) -Ashley from Adventure Encounters
Hey guys!!! This place look insane!!! absolute heaven !! The way you out this together was so so good and loved all the info and voice overs Ash!! I loved your view I think I would prefer that because you would know what’s going on all the time and that sunset it bliss each night!!! How about the fireworks oh my gosh, front row seat!!! Love all the dining options, so much to offer what a cute coffee shop too!! Ohhhhhh that view from the gym is crazy good!!! Haha go nat Woop woop! Work it!!! Amazing video guys from start to finish!! :)
As always, great video that keeps my attention THEE entire time! As I mentioned on your short, im looking at rates right now. I'll be in Anguilla next year thanks to you guys as well! You're awesome! Keep 'em coming!
Honestly, this makes me so happy to hear!! Even I get uninterested in videos lol... so to hear you say this, THIS IS SO AWESOME!! Thank you!!! Appreciate you stopping by! We were just talking about Anguilla or the Bahamas for a Christmas/ New Year getaway! You will fall in love with Anguilla! Cheers friend! -Ashley
That’s a beautiful resort hotel Ash! Cancun is next on our list. Love ur website too! I like the unique idea of their roomkey for the diamond club access. That sunset view is just spectacular too!
Ya.. we were so frustrated about the forms... but I'm just glad the customs line wasn't too long for us to go back in line lol. Ya... having two bathrooms was definitely a treat lol. Thanks for coming back! Cheers guys, Ashley from Adventure Encounters
Why isn’t the airline giving you the forms? We lucked out and they still gave them to us last year. Love the view, your room is awesome! Love that beautiful ocean water! Love that the spa pool is included, Mexico spas are incredible! This makes me want to go back, love the all inclusive resorts!
I have no clue... it was so frustrating! But I'm just glad the customs line was super short lol. After getting back from Mexico, we read a lot of people complaining about the airlines not telling them about the second form. But...we also flew Spirit 🥴 Which they have the worst rep and we won't be flying them again 🤦♀️ Appreciate you tuning in ❤🍻 -Ash
Hello, Awesome reviews ... we are debating on this resort and the Riu Caribe .. we went to Riu Palace Penninsula in December 2019, so we know Riu is fine, but this one look Amazing ... and since we prepaid our trip is so much cheaper now we could easily upgrade to the Royalton Chic Suite.. but we are still debating on diamond club .. we are travelling mid October ... can we still access Rooftop without diamond club .. and just pay if we want food or drinks there or the rooftop is exclusively for diamond club member ? also the shows at night are they good or just fine ?
Hello hello 👋 Thank you for the feedback, I really appreciate it! Honestly, we really enjoyed having Diamond Club and the additional 'perks', and when we go again, we would do the Diamond Club again... totally worth the upgrade imho. Yes, you can still get access to the rooftop (its amazing and so peaceful when they aren't having an event up top), but yes, you are correct, if you don't have Diamond Club, the food and drinks are not included. The shows were so-so... It was nice to have different entertainment every night.. sometimes singers, sometimes dancers, a little mix of everything. Not sure of you got the chance to see it, but I actually wrote a blog about the perks of Diamond Club 👇👇 theadventureencounters.com/royalton-chic-cancun Appreciate you stopping by!! Hope this helps a bit 🍻 -Ashley from Adventure Encounters
Thank you for watching! The beach was awesome, a little seaweed but that didn't bother us. Sand was nice and soft and they have a lot of space for seating & chairs on the beach! When are you planning a visit? Appreciate you stopping by! 🍻 Ashley from Adve
Gah... thats the worst!! 4th times the charm!!! Lol 🤣🙏 May is a great time to go... and we were told thats the time of year that there is no seaweed on the beaches! 🙌 Safe travels! Cheers, Ashley from Adventure Encounters
Yes, you should be able to. Generally when you get checked in, they offer this to you. Generally they charge around $75 - $100 pp per night if you add Diamond Club on at the resort (just a heads up). But... I would negotiate with them lol! Doesn't hurt to ask 😜🤷♀️👍 One couple said they were only charged $25 pp per day 🤷♀️ Worth the try! Mexico is all about negotiations and making friends lol 😆 Appreciate you stopping by! 👋 -Ashley from Adventure Encounters
That room is too much for two people LOL.... Just saying. I can't wait for us to go to Cancun in April. It's going to be so much fun. Haven't been there since 2015. Miss it so much... thank you for letting us live vicariously through your video.
Lol... it was huge🤣 We literally showered in both showers an even amount of times just because we could 🤣🤣🤦♀️ Nice!! The countdown is on! Where about are you staying? Cheers! Appreciate you stopping by! -Ashley from Adventure Encounters
@@AdventureEncounters we're going to be staying at Laguna Suites spa and Golf resort. And we are able to use their other three sister resorts and all their restaurants pools beaches and amenities. So that's really cool. I have stayed there before but my girlfriend has never been to Cancun let alone mexico period. So we are both really excited. Looking forward to all the excursions we may go on. 29 more weeks 🤗❤️
Oh nice! Having multiple options is a BIG bonus!! So I just looked it up on Google maps, Do you just go to a public access beach when you stay there? Thats awesome!! She will have a great time! I would say, swim with the Whale Sharks, but season won't start back up until June... its incredible! We are releasing our Whale Shark video tomorrow! Thanks again for stopping by 👋👋 - Ashley from Adventure Encounters
@@AdventureEncounters Yeah we have to go over to the sister resort called sunset Royal and use their Beach but that's okay it's worth it to have all the other resorts to use and all their amenities and restaurants. Where we're staying is way more quiet, intimate, and relaxing. There is only 47 rooms I think where we're staying which big sister resort sunset Royal has over 200 rooms. But I know next time we go back after this trip we will be staying somewhere else beautiful. Can't wait
Awesome!!! I have learned when we travel, to always ask if there is a sister resort that we can explore... you never know until you ask! Well, next time you guys are ready to book a vacay, I can do that for you, and potentially save you a couple bucks! Cheers friend! -Ashley
Thank you for the video! Re the rooftop pool are the loungers included for Diamond club members or do you have to buy a bottle to use them like the cabanas on the rooftop? TIA
My pleasure! Appreciate you watching! The loungers are open for use, no need to purchase a bottle 👍 When are you planning your trip? Thanks again for stopping by 👋👋 - Ashley from Adventure Encounters
@@AdventureEncounters weve booked our 10 year wedding anniversary trip to here in June 2022! We usually go to Mexico every year for a break from the UK but we have only ever stayed in RM. We thought we would try Cancun for a change of pace and after no holidays at all for last 2 years because of Covid the celebration cannot come quick enough :)
Oh wow!!! HAPPY EARLY ANNIVERSARY! Oh my gosh, ya, I hear ya!! So ready to travel again (freely)!!! Here is a couple more tips when you guys fly into Cancun ⬇⬇ theadventureencounters.com/cancun-mexico Cheers guys and Congrats on your 10 years together! -Ashley
Hello hello 👋 It is only free for the Diamond Club guests, all other guests will have to pay to utilize it unfortunately. We were there July of last year. Are you planning a trip to the Royalton? Appreciate you stopping by 🙌 -Ashley from Adventure Encounters
Of course!! Yay! We loved the DC & the little perks given! Oh awesome! Y'all will have a great time! Feel free to message if you have more questions! We also made a blog about this resort and some tips when visiting Cancun, if you haven't read it already 👍 theadventureencounters.com/cancun-mexico Cheers 🍻 -Ashley
We actually purchased it as a package when we booked, and it was an additional $20 per person per night. I know if you don't want to 'pre- purchase' the Diamond Club, you can wait until you get to the resort and upgrade their. The only thing about that, I've heard they charge anywhere from $25-$100 per night per person, and sometimes they won't have the availability for butlers. So kind of depends how badly you want to get the extras that come along with it. =) Hope that helps! When are you planning your trip? Appreciate you stopping by! -Ashley from Adventure Encounters
@@AdventureEncounters The reason why I ask is bc on Expedia it’s $1k more for the diamond club ocean front and about $400 more for sunset view for 10days. Thank you for the reply!
oh wow! Rates have gone up a little bit! The sunset view wasnt terrible, but having an ocean view is always nice lol. You can always try to do it at the resort for... maybe it's changed and it will be cheaper on sight?! So spendy to travel right now sadly... but it is SOOOO nice to take a vacay too lol. Cheers ans safe travels! -Ashley
Hi we planning to book this hotel for beginning of December. still not sure about upgrading. How much does it cost to upgrade? Do you know is it possible to pay just to get all the additional access without upgrading your room? Thank you ☺️
Hello hello! Awesome, you guys will love it! When we booked prior to arrival, it was $25 a day per person. When we arrived at the resort, they said the cost would have been $75 a day per person IF they had enough butlers available. So if you wait to decide on the Diamond club upgrade until you get to the resort, its more expensive & based on availability. Much cheaper to book before you arrive. I am a travel agent & could possibly save you more on the full booking ( no charge to you)! Would that be of interest to you? Just shoot me an email to AETravelers@yahoo.com Hope that helps 👍 Appreciate you stopping by 👋 - Ashley from Adventure Encounters
You know, thats a great question! I can try to find out and let you know! When are you planning your visit? Appreciate you stopping by! -Ashley from Adventure Encounters
No jacuzzi on tha balcony in this room. I dont think any of the rooms have Jacuzzis on the balcony. We did go over to Hotel Xcaret, and they had rooms with Jacuzzis on the balcony... that place was incredible!Have you been before? Appreciate you stopping by and Happy New Year! -Ashley from Adventure Encounters
Wow, that place looks amazing. Perhaps a great getaway for when we have to do another border run here in Costa Rica. (Every 3 months to renew our visa) We are not that far away now. Nicely done vlog and explanations. You all have a great Sunday, kind regards Bastiaan & Yolanda. 😄👍
Hi guys!!! Oh thats awesome! So, I have to ask, sounds like you guys pretty much live in Costa Rica full time or..? Can I ask what your secret is to living abroad full time? Cheers guys! -Ashley from Adventure Encounters
@@AdventureEncounters Yes and no. We are not actually living here but thoroughly exploring the country. Last year we sold and gave away everything we owned and reduced our belongings to 2 suitcases to start our life as digital nomads while traveling the world non stop. As we are in no rush we decided to really take our time, while making a thorough travel guide about the ins and outs. The best places to visit and stay, culture, food, history and hidden gems. We get free accommodations and tours in exchange for making promo videos and photoshoots. These videos we also share on our channel, FaceBook & Instagram and all the material we shoot also goes towards our weekly vlogs. Other than that we do house & pet sitting. That way we can rest, explore the area and edit our videos before going to the next place. We are staying at beautiful luxury villas and have all our utilities paid, including housekeeping and gardeners. In our upcoming series that start the 17th of next month, we will go into detail about the whole house and pet sitting. By the end of our current 3 months assignment we will have been here for 1 year and all we paid as far as accommodations is 3 weeks in hostel which we also bargained. We really try to go around the globe as cheap and free as possible and show everybody that and how it can be done. 😄👍
WOW!!! THIS IS AMAZING! Talk about #Goals !! Do you have a sample email for getting in contact to the different resorts & activities? Any pointers? -Ashley
@@AdventureEncounters - In some cases we go on behalf of somebody that knows the place (resort/hotel) or tour operators, which is always better as it kind of guarantees us we got it. Networking and mouth to mouth works the best. Sometimes we just knock on doors. I show them a few samples of our made promo material from our playlist and leave them a business card. We explain we are making a travel guide for Costa Rica and promoting all the areas and where to go where to stay, what to do, etc. They can be part of it and if not, the competition might. We visit various operators in the area and then it's first come, first serve. We rarely email as we noticed most don't even bother to reply. But when we do, we explain we are on a journey around the world, that we have been making videos since 2010, what equipment we have, about our channel and what we offer. And of course we send a link to our promo videos playlist. But a personal approach is always the best and if you can get send by somebody that knows the owner, even better. Be bold and confident in your editing/video skills and use your channel too as you are promoting it as well on there and to your followers. See from how many countries you have viewers as that is a good sales point too. Also make sure you are "selling" to make a professional promo video for their business, the UA-cam share is a bonus. Always give them their own original video to use. We lost a few by just wanting to give them a link to our video instead of giving them their own video. Of course you can still promote your channel by hiding it in the video. In our case our channel name is on our mask. 😉 Hope you are able to get a few nice stays and tours out of it as well. Let me know how that went. 😄 Good look and regards, Bastiaan. 😊
You can always check our "Best accommodations and tours" playlist for examples of different types of promo videos we made, depending on the type of business.
It's good that you can book it for people. I like the showers, view and the pools. It's nice they stocked the room for you. That's convenient. The buffet looks delicious. The view from the gym looks great. They seem to have lots of equipement too.
Ya, we are pretty excited that we can do this! Another way to capitalize on our travels and we love giving insight! Thanks for stopping by 👋❤ -Ashley from Adventure Encounters
Lol... we pretty much traded days in each shower 😂 Yep, the sauna was included, but sadly it was closed down when we stayed back in July... it's probably open now! When are you planning a visit to Cancun? Appreciate you stopping by! Cheers friend! -Ashley from Adventure Encounters
Hi! Great video! We planned to go for Xmas with my 18 boy...Is worth it, do you really recommand this resort? How is the food? Drinks? Services? We planned to do the Diamond too! Thx!
Yes, we definitely would recommend! He will have a great time! The food was actually really delicious! We know that AI's food and drinks tend to be kinda... blah, but it was not the case at this resort! We were really impressed! Service was great... especially when you get the butler with Diamond Club! We actually just got done writing a blog about our stay at the resort, what to expect, and what's included with Diamond Club if you are interested in a little more info 👇 theadventureencounters.com/royalton-chic-cancun Appreciate you stopping by! Have a great Christmas trip! Cheers, Ashley from Adventure Encounters
Generally they charge around $75 - $100 pp per night if you add Diamond Club on at the resort (just a heads up). But... I would negotiate with them lol!

That's not fair! Self Rona swab testing? I didn't see a piece of your brain on the swab. Loll.. You guys always go to the most beautiful locations. Thanks for taking us along and taking a nose swab on our behalf. 😁🤣😂 Great video like always.
😅😅 Lol.. the funny part, we didnt even have to take a swab test to travel to Mexcio, but we got one just in case 😅 and it was ridiculous lol... when we came back into the States we had to have someone else do it, it was so ticklish 🤪 Thanks for tuning in!!! See y'all again soon! 🍻 Ash
No, we did it voluntarily. We weren't exactly sure if we were going to Mexico or the Bahamas, and the Bahamas required it but Mexico didnt, so we got it just in case lol. Are you guys planning a visit to Mexico? Appreciate you stopping by! Cheers 🍻 -Ashley from Adventure Encounters
@@AdventureEncounters got it, thank you! & yes my fiancé and I are going to royalton riviera next month 😊 I have another question for you - the rooftop pool, can you bring drinks up there or are you only allowed to drink purchased drinks from the rooftop bar? We wont be diamond club.
Yay!! We did see multiple people bring up there own drinks to the rooftop, but I couldn't tell if they were Diamond Club or not. It was so peaceful at the top when they weren't throwing the foam party lol -Ash
We never had any issues, but I know pretty much anywhere you go, unfortunately there is that possibility of tainted alcohol. We did go outside of the resort, and purchased our own bottle of liquor but not because of the tainted possibility, but we wanted a certain Tequila that they didn't have. We walked down to the round-about area (less than a mile) and went into the supermarket (it's massive) and they had a HUGE selection of everything! Here's the info in the blog I wrote about, for the supermarket location 👇👇 Hope this can help! theadventureencounters.com/cancun-mexico Appreciate you stopping by! Cheers, Ashley from Adventure Encounters
It definitely had a great party vibe if you wanted it, and a chill vibe too. I didn't have my single goggles on, but it was a lot of fun! It's SUPER close in walking distance to downtown and the other bars and restaurants too =) Lol... hope that helps Cheers! Appreciate you stopping by! -Ashley from Adventure Encounters
hello hello 👋 Is the platinum membership card with Marriott? I know they just bought the resorts, and have heard people say they just had to let the front desk know about their Marriott membership and got the reward points. Are you planning a visit? Appreciate you watching 👍 - Ashley from Adventure Encounters
Happy we could help! You will love it! Oh Minnesota! Such a pretty State! The last time we were in Minnesota was about a year ago! So pretty up there! Is it starting to get cold up there? -Ashley
You two haven’t travelled much have you. For one usually when people go on holiday they like a ocean front view. The view your boasting about is the other side with all the noise !! who the hell would want that. Not me when I pay money for a nice peaceful holiday. Was impressed with some but not with all. You want to go to a nice spot check out Le Blanc Spa Cancun. Now that’s class.
Hello hello 👋 Lol, we would definitely like to travel more, thats for sure, especially these days.. but we do quite a bit of traveling. Yes, most do like an ocean view, but they were all sold out when we booked so we went with the second to largest room instead. I was just trying to show people the different views and what they could expect 😁 Appreciate the feedback & we will have to check out Le Blanc next time. Another great place to vacation too, since you spoke about 'class', check out the Belmond Cap Jaluca & Four Seasons in Anguilla 👍 Thanks again for stopping by 👋 - Ashley from Adventure Encounters
Wow. You're rude. The irony of you talking about class when you have none. If people like you go to Le Blanc I'd rather go to a Red Roof Inn. Get some manners
Hi thank you so much for posting this. Do you think this resort is good for a couple? We're travelling from the UK and are in our mid-late twenties. We like a fun lively atmosphere but nothing that's just about partying as we love food, cocktails and relaxing too! Thank you :-)
Hello 👋 Yes! Absolutely 💯 on all your questions! We are the same as you guys! And yes, it can be a fun party area and at the same time can be relaxing at times. Seems generally there was always an area to 'get away' if you didnt want to be in the 'party area'. They had an excellent variety of food & you guys are the perfect age range 👌 Are you guys considering Diamond Club? We really loved getting the extra luttle perks and getting spoiled with a butler, but some people say the upcharge wasnt worth ot. In my honest opinion, we think it was worth it, but thats obviously a choice you can always make when you are insite as well! Hope that helps a bit :) When are you guys traveling? Appreciate you stopping by! -Ashley from Adventure Encounters
@@AdventureEncounters Ahh amazing, thank you so much for getting back to me. That's massively helpful. Yes we're definitely booking Diamond club, we stayed at another Royalton resort in the Dominican and really regretted not booking it so that's a must for us. Even for things like the additional pool and restaurant reservations make it worth it for me personally especially coming so far haha. We've booked for May 11th 2023, our dates are flexible and while i'm thinking about it could I possibly ask because I don't have any American friends and google seems to change every time I search, will Spring break be over by then? You're more than welcome, I look forward to seeing more videos and trips. Have you got anywhere else planned at the moment? Thank again!
Sorry, I just saw your reply! Yes, you should be good by then (May). Did you go to the Royalton in Punta Cana? We were actually just in Punta Cana 1 week ago! Stayed at the Lopesan Costa Bávaro (just posted that video), and we were looking at the Royalton there too! Awe, we appreciate your support 🙏🙌 -Ashley
@@AdventureEncounters HI. Your video was so informative. I saw the link for Cancun and read all the information but now that I am trying to access it again it doesn't work. Have you taken it down?
Hello 👋 Tgank you so much for watching and a bigger thanks for letting me know about our website. I just got off the ohone with our website host & they said they fixed the issue and it should be back up & running in 24 hrs. If its not loaded by the time you read this, maybe I can help with your questions? I apreciate you stopping by 🙏🙌 - Ashley from Adventure Encounters
This is one of the best resort tours that I have seen for this particular hotel!..Especially the one on the Gym!!

Traveling on 8/8/23 - 8/15/23!…It’s the first time at this resort!
Oh awesome! it's gonna be a hot one down there! Not sure if this is something you are interested in, but that is the time of year when the Whale Sharks are in season and it's absolutely INCREDIBLE to swim with them! We did it while we were there... mind blowing for sure!

Cant wait going next Thursday diamond club look out !
Yay!! We had an absolute blast while we were there! You will enjoy it! Did you get an Ocean view or Bay view?
Be sure to read our blog for some tips, like specifically if you are wanting to biy a certain alcohol (bottle)... don't buy thru the resort because they charge double the cost 👍 theadventureencounters.com/royalton-chic-cancun

Oh awesome!!! It really is an awesome resort! We would love to go back a second time!! We were really impressed with the food.. especially for being an all inclusive resort! Diamond club is the way to go!! Appreciate you stopping by 👍👍🙌 Are you guys doing any excursions?
cheers 🍻

Thank you for the video. How was the beach? There was just a bit of it from far. ..
Our pleasure! It was nice when we went, not much seaweed, but as the weatger gets warmer (and the water too), the seaweed gets thicker. When are you plannong your trip? Thanks for stopping by 🙌

Thank you for the video me and my family are going to be there for my 40th birthday in March you making me want to change my room to the presidential suite

You had me at Cancun. I think your view is a better option and the room is absolutely incredible. The Resort is spectacular. Any water view like that is going to decrease the stress level massive. Awesome tour.
I know right?! We were honestly just excited to catch a plane to an International destination lol. Thank you for tuning in!! See you guys soon!

hi out of all the All inclusive resorts which resorts are your top 3 with a pretty beach and good enough food. Stayed at Four Seasons in Anguilla so trying to find something else is kind of difficult. Please advise? thank you.
Hello hello 👋 Thats a tough one, a staying at the Four Seasons in Anguilla! We stayed at the Four Seasons our first trip to Anguilla 👌
As farvas all inclusives, we really loved Sandals Emerald Bay in Exuma Bahamas ( www.anrdoezrs.net/click-9108586-11555828?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sandals.com%2F ). Exuma is very comparable to Anguilla... amazing food, beautiful resort, and it's adults only, and sits beach front.
We also really loved the Lopesan Costa Bávaro in Punta Cana DR as well ( tidd.ly/3DNPUvi ). This is a a massive resort and sits on a beautiful beach as well. Food was delicious with a HUGE variety. It is a family friendly resort, but there are locations where they cater to adults only.
And The Royalton Chic in Cancun we also really loved as well 👌 Royalton Chic in Cancun is not as laid back as Anguilla or Exuma, but is much busier & a bit more lively. Beach os beautiful but as I said... MUCH busier and it is an adults only resort as well.
Hope that helps a bit! Do you have a favorite tropical destination?
Thanks for stopping by, we appreciate it! Oh and a quick request, if you enjoyed this video & you'de like to see more of our travels & adventures, we would LOVE if you were to subscribe (if you haven't already ).

Great video, was there liquor and wine in the presidential as well?
Thanks! And thank you for watching! The wine was included, but we bought the liquor. If you plan on purchasing bottles like we did, I would suggest purchasing at a liquor store, NOT the resort. The resort wanted double the price vs at the grocery/liquor store. In our blog, I give a couple of address & locations to get the liquor 👍 theadventureencounters.com/royalton-chic-cancun

Oh man, the private diamond club section - nice!!! The food there looks so good. A coconut drink is something I would love. Oh I remember this violin guy from your shorts. Seems like you guys had a blast!!!! No way on that cold pool!!! The buffet reminded me of Vegas Buffets!!! UA-camrs love their coffee for sure!!!! Nate is a beast with his workout segment!!! This segment keeps expanding, love it.
@Silvia HoardFor Vegas the Rio Buffett is my favorite, Venetian is my favorite hotel, and Beatles Loves is the best show I have seen anywhere. If you have any other questions let me know.

This place looks so amazing and the water is so blue. Your website is so cool and helpful!!!! I just love this format you have settled into. This is what happens when you are a big time UA-camr. It's great to have you back. Even though you guys were gone for a little bit, the quality of the video makes up for it. Yes, the "Work Out With Nate" segment. That view is nice!!! That room was pretty sweet!!! Seems like stand up showers are starting to take over. Your excitement is infectious.
You guys!! THANK YOU!! Making me blush over here! You know how much work goes into editing and trying to add on an additional piece with our website 🤯 We are all headed to be the next big UA-camrs 😉 Lol.. I almost didn't put Nate getting in a pump... but its kind of a tradition in our resort videos lol and its just not the same when he doesn't grab a weight 🤣
-Ash
You did a great job with this video. I’m checking in to this resort next week, you gave very good details. I can’t wait.!!! Thanks for adding information on your website.
Awesome, thank you for the feedback!! This really is a great resort and we would definitely go back! Are you guys considering the Diamond Club? In my opinion, it was worth the extra couple bucks! I can get this booked for you if you haven't booked yet 😉
Appreciate you stopping by! Cheers

@@AdventureEncounters Yes we are. Diamond Club is the way too go. You must go to the Royalton in St. Lucia & the 2 in The DR all 3 properties are amazing. Let me say your website ROCKS !!!!

I'm going back in November and this is the room I booked. I had the ocean front version of this room but it's all booked up for the dates I'm going. Does the sunset view room have a jacuzzi tub on the balcony. I saw one on another UA-camr's video but I don't think I saw one in your video. I would love to have a jacuzzi on the balcony.
Oh fun! We had an absolute blast there! The larger rooms (chariman suite's & Presidential suite's) have a jacuzzi tub, but they are not on the balcony. On the top floor (rooftop) they do have enclosed cabana style rooms that have their own private jacuzzi/hot tubs, maybe that's what they were showing? To my knowledge, I don't think there are any jacuzzi's on the outside balcony of any rooms. I just looked at the Royalton's website and didn't find any rooms like that. I wish I could be more help to you, my appologies.
Thanks for stopping by and dropping us a comment =)

Great video ,thanks for all the great info- . Never been to Cancun before but it looks like a place I’d like to go to.😊👍

That’s a beautiful resort hotel Ash! Cancun is next on our list. Love ur website too!
I like the unique idea of their roomkey for the diamond club access.
That sunset view is just spectacular too!
Appreciate the feedback! Do you know where abouts in Cancun you are staying? Lots of newer resorts have been added recently! Cheers friends!
- Ashley
Beautiful resort! Bummer you had to learn about the forms the hard way. Your room was very spacious! Having two bathrooms is amazing!
Ya.. we were so frustrated about the forms... but I'm just glad the customs line wasn't too long for us to go back in line lol. Ya... having two bathrooms was definitely a treat lol. Thanks for coming back!
Cheers guys,
Ashley from Adventure Encounters
Why isn’t the airline giving you the forms? We lucked out and they still gave them to us last year. Love the view, your room is awesome! Love that beautiful ocean water! Love that the spa pool is included, Mexico spas are incredible! This makes me want to go back, love the all inclusive resorts!
I have no clue... it was so frustrating! But I'm just glad the customs line was super short lol. After getting back from Mexico, we read a lot of people complaining about the airlines not telling them about the second form. But...we also flew Spirit 🥴 Which they have the worst rep and we won't be flying them again 🤦♀️ Appreciate you tuning in ❤🍻

@@AdventureEncounters Note to self- Don’t fly Spirit!
I think we would just hang out on that roof for sure!!
Right?! We totally did lol! Thanks for stopping in guys!

Hello, Awesome reviews ... we are debating on this resort and the Riu Caribe .. we went to Riu Palace Penninsula in December 2019, so we know Riu is fine, but this one look Amazing ... and since we prepaid our trip is so much cheaper now we could easily upgrade to the Royalton Chic Suite.. but we are still debating on diamond club .. we are travelling mid October ... can we still access Rooftop without diamond club .. and just pay if we want food or drinks there or the rooftop is exclusively for diamond club member ? also the shows at night are they good or just fine ?
Hello hello 👋 Thank you for the feedback, I really appreciate it! Honestly, we really enjoyed having Diamond Club and the additional 'perks', and when we go again, we would do the Diamond Club again... totally worth the upgrade imho. Yes, you can still get access to the rooftop (its amazing and so peaceful when they aren't having an event up top), but yes, you are correct, if you don't have Diamond Club, the food and drinks are not included. The shows were so-so... It was nice to have different entertainment every night.. sometimes singers, sometimes dancers, a little mix of everything. Not sure of you got the chance to see it, but I actually wrote a blog about the perks of Diamond Club 👇👇

Thanks, you too! Cheers!
Can you get diamond club with a regular junior suite ocean front room? When we booked our stay we didn’t see the option.
Yes, you should be able to. Generally when you get checked in, they offer this to you. Generally they charge around $75 - $100 pp per night if you add Diamond Club on at the resort (just a heads up). But... I would negotiate with them lol! Doesn't hurt to ask 😜🤷♀️👍 One couple said they were only charged $25 pp per day 🤷♀️ Worth the try! Mexico is all about negotiations and making friends lol 😆 Appreciate you stopping by! 👋
-Ashley from Adventure Encounters
That room is too much for two people LOL.... Just saying. I can't wait for us to go to Cancun in April. It's going to be so much fun. Haven't been there since 2015. Miss it so much... thank you for letting us live vicariously through your video.
Lol... it was huge🤣 We literally showered in both showers an even amount of times just because we could 🤣🤣🤦♀️ Nice!! The countdown is on! Where about are you staying?

@@AdventureEncounters we're going to be staying at Laguna Suites spa and Golf resort. And we are able to use their other three sister resorts and all their restaurants pools beaches and amenities. So that's really cool. I have stayed there before but my girlfriend has never been to Cancun let alone mexico period. So we are both really excited. Looking forward to all the excursions we may go on. 29 more weeks 🤗❤️
Oh nice! Having multiple options is a BIG bonus!! So I just looked it up on Google maps, Do you just go to a public access beach when you stay there? Thats awesome!! She will have a great time! I would say, swim with the Whale Sharks, but season won't start back up until June... its incredible! We are releasing our Whale Shark video tomorrow! Thanks again for stopping by 👋👋
- Ashley from Adventure Encounters
@@AdventureEncounters
Yeah we have to go over to the sister resort called sunset Royal and use their Beach but that's okay it's worth it to have all the other resorts to use and all their amenities and restaurants. Where we're staying is way more quiet, intimate, and relaxing. There is only 47 rooms I think where we're staying which big sister resort sunset Royal has over 200 rooms. But I know next time we go back after this trip we will be staying somewhere else beautiful. Can't wait
Awesome!!! I have learned when we travel, to always ask if there is a sister resort that we can explore... you never know until you ask! Well, next time you guys are ready to book a vacay, I can do that for you, and potentially save you a couple bucks!
Cheers friend!
-Ashley
Thank you for the video! Re the rooftop pool are the loungers included for Diamond club members or do you have to buy a bottle to use them like the cabanas on the rooftop? TIA

How much more was the upgrade for the diamond club ?
We actually purchased it as a package when we booked, and it was an additional $20 per person per night. I know if you don't want to 'pre- purchase' the Diamond Club, you can wait until you get to the resort and upgrade their. The only thing about that, I've heard they charge anywhere from $25-$100 per night per person, and sometimes they won't have the availability for butlers. So kind of depends how badly you want to get the extras that come along with it. =) Hope that helps! When are you planning your trip? Appreciate you stopping by!
-Ashley from Adventure Encounters
@@AdventureEncounters The reason why I ask is bc on Expedia it’s $1k more for the diamond club ocean front and about $400 more for sunset view for 10days. Thank you for the reply!
oh wow! Rates have gone up a little bit! The sunset view wasnt terrible, but having an ocean view is always nice lol. You can always try to do it at the resort for... maybe it's changed and it will be cheaper on sight?! So spendy to travel right now sadly... but it is SOOOO nice to take a vacay too lol.
Cheers ans safe travels!
-Ashley
Hi we planning to book this hotel for beginning of December. still not sure about upgrading. How much does it cost to upgrade? Do you know is it possible to pay just to get all the additional access without upgrading your room? Thank you ☺️
Hello hello! Awesome, you guys will love it! When we booked prior to arrival, it was $25 a day per person. When we arrived at the resort, they said the cost would have been $75 a day per person IF they had enough butlers available. So if you wait to decide on the Diamond club upgrade until you get to the resort, its more expensive & based on availability. Much cheaper to book before you arrive. I am a travel agent & could possibly save you more on the full booking ( no charge to you)! Would that be of interest to you? Just shoot me an email to AETravelers@yahoo.com
Hope that helps 👍 Appreciate you stopping by 👋

is the indoor pool available to all guests or just diamond members?
You know, thats a great question! I can try to find out and let you know! When are you planning your visit? Appreciate you stopping by!

Was there a jacuzzi on the balcony for this room?
No jacuzzi on tha balcony in this room. I dont think any of the rooms have Jacuzzis on the balcony. We did go over to Hotel Xcaret, and they had rooms with Jacuzzis on the balcony... that place was incredible!Have you been before? Appreciate you stopping by and Happy New Year!

Wow, that place looks amazing. Perhaps a great getaway for when we have to do another border run here in Costa Rica. (Every 3 months to renew our visa) We are not that far away now. Nicely done vlog and explanations. You all have a great Sunday, kind regards Bastiaan & Yolanda. 😄👍
Hi guys!!! Oh thats awesome! So, I have to ask, sounds like you guys pretty much live in Costa Rica full time or..? Can I ask what your secret is to living abroad full time? Cheers guys!
-Ashley from Adventure Encounters
@@AdventureEncounters Yes and no. We are not actually living here but thoroughly exploring the country. Last year we sold and gave away everything we owned and reduced our belongings to 2 suitcases to start our life as digital nomads while traveling the world non stop. As we are in no rush we decided to really take our time, while making a thorough travel guide about the ins and outs. The best places to visit and stay, culture, food, history and hidden gems. We get free accommodations and tours in exchange for making promo videos and photoshoots. These videos we also share on our channel, FaceBook & Instagram and all the material we shoot also goes towards our weekly vlogs. Other than that we do house & pet sitting. That way we can rest, explore the area and edit our videos before going to the next place. We are staying at beautiful luxury villas and have all our utilities paid, including housekeeping and gardeners. In our upcoming series that start the 17th of next month, we will go into detail about the whole house and pet sitting. By the end of our current 3 months assignment we will have been here for 1 year and all we paid as far as accommodations is 3 weeks in hostel which we also bargained. We really try to go around the globe as cheap and free as possible and show everybody that and how it can be done. 😄👍
WOW!!! THIS IS AMAZING! Talk about #Goals !! Do you have a sample email for getting in contact to the different resorts & activities? Any pointers?
-Ashley
@@AdventureEncounters - In some cases we go on behalf of somebody that knows the place (resort/hotel) or tour operators, which is always better as it kind of guarantees us we got it. Networking and mouth to mouth works the best. Sometimes we just knock on doors. I show them a few samples of our made promo material from our playlist and leave them a business card. We explain we are making a travel guide for Costa Rica and promoting all the areas and where to go where to stay, what to do, etc. They can be part of it and if not, the competition might. We visit various operators in the area and then it's first come, first serve. We rarely email as we noticed most don't even bother to reply. But when we do, we explain we are on a journey around the world, that we have been making videos since 2010, what equipment we have, about our channel and what we offer. And of course we send a link to our promo videos playlist. But a personal approach is always the best and if you can get send by somebody that knows the owner, even better. Be bold and confident in your editing/video skills and use your channel too as you are promoting it as well on there and to your followers. See from how many countries you have viewers as that is a good sales point too. Also make sure you are "selling" to make a professional promo video for their business, the UA-cam share is a bonus. Always give them their own original video to use. We lost a few by just wanting to give them a link to our video instead of giving them their own video. Of course you can still promote your channel by hiding it in the video. In our case our channel name is on our mask. 😉 Hope you are able to get a few nice stays and tours out of it as well. Let me know how that went. 😄 Good look and regards, Bastiaan. 😊
You can always check our "Best accommodations and tours" playlist for examples of different types of promo videos we made, depending on the type of business.

Yes, we definitely would recommend! He will have a great time! The food was actually really delicious! We know that AI's food and drinks tend to be kinda... blah, but it was not the case at this resort! We were really impressed!

Soooo I’ve heard rumors of “tainted alcohol” and now I’m scared to go, I’m booked for New Years weekend 😩😩😩
We never had any issues, but I know pretty much anywhere you go, unfortunately there is that possibility of tainted alcohol. We did go outside of the resort, and purchased our own bottle of liquor but not because of the tainted possibility, but we wanted a certain Tequila that they didn't have. We walked down to the round-about area (less than a mile) and went into the supermarket (it's massive) and they had a HUGE selection of everything! Here's the info in the blog I wrote about, for the supermarket location 👇👇 Hope this can help!

Appreciate you stopping by!
Cheers,

@@AdventureEncounters thank you so much!
Of course! Enjoy!
Is this a good party resort for single people?
It definitely had a great party vibe if you wanted it, and a chill vibe too. I didn't have my single goggles on, but it was a lot of fun! It's SUPER close in walking distance to downtown and the other bars and restaurants too =) Lol... hope that helps
Cheers!
Appreciate you stopping by!

Can I use my platinum member card in this hotel
hello hello 👋 Is the platinum membership card with Marriott? I know they just bought the resorts, and have heard people say they just had to let the front desk know about their Marriott membership and got the reward points. Are you planning a visit? Appreciate you watching 👍
- Ashley from Adventure Encounters
@@AdventureEncounters thank you for the info 😍
@@AdventureEncounters yes going back on January 2022 and never been in this hotel hello from Minnesota 🥰
Happy we could help! You will love it! Oh Minnesota! Such a pretty State! The last time we were in Minnesota was about a year ago! So pretty up there! Is it starting to get cold up there?

You two haven’t travelled much have you. For one usually when people go on holiday they like a ocean front view. The view your boasting about is the other side with all the noise !! who the hell would want that. Not me when I pay money for a nice peaceful holiday. Was impressed with some but not with all. You want to go to a nice spot check out Le Blanc Spa Cancun. Now that’s class.
Hello hello 👋 Lol, we would definitely like to travel more, thats for sure, especially these days.. but we do quite a bit of traveling. Yes, most do like an ocean view, but they were all sold out when we booked so we went with the second to largest room instead. I was just trying to show people the different views and what they could expect 😁 Appreciate the feedback & we will have to check out Le Blanc next time. Another great place to vacation too, since you spoke about 'class', check out the Belmond Cap Jaluca & Four Seasons in Anguilla 👍 Thanks again for stopping by 👋
- Ashley from Adventure Encounters
Wow. You're rude. The irony of you talking about class when you have none. If people like you go to Le Blanc I'd rather go to a Red Roof Inn. Get some manners
Is this a good place for singles?
Ya, I guess it could be. It was a great mix of everyone I'd say 👌 Thanks for stopping by!

Hi thank you so much for posting this. Do you think this resort is good for a couple? We're travelling from the UK and are in our mid-late twenties. We like a fun lively atmosphere but nothing that's just about partying as we love food, cocktails and relaxing too! Thank you :-)
Hello 👋
Yes! Absolutely 💯 on all your questions! We are the same as you guys! And yes, it can be a fun party area and at the same time can be relaxing at times. Seems generally there was always an area to 'get away' if you didnt want to be in the 'party area'. They had an excellent variety of food & you guys are the perfect age range 👌 Are you guys considering Diamond Club? We really loved getting the extra luttle perks and getting spoiled with a butler, but some people say the upcharge wasnt worth ot. In my honest opinion, we think it was worth it, but thats obviously a choice you can always make when you are insite as well! Hope that helps a bit :) When are you guys traveling?
Appreciate you stopping by!

@@AdventureEncounters Ahh amazing, thank you so much for getting back to me. That's massively helpful. Yes we're definitely booking Diamond club, we stayed at another Royalton resort in the Dominican and really regretted not booking it so that's a must for us. Even for things like the additional pool and restaurant reservations make it worth it for me personally especially coming so far haha. We've booked for May 11th 2023, our dates are flexible and while i'm thinking about it could I possibly ask because I don't have any American friends and google seems to change every time I search, will Spring break be over by then? You're more than welcome, I look forward to seeing more videos and trips. Have you got anywhere else planned at the moment? Thank again!
Sorry, I just saw your reply! Yes, you should be good by then (May). Did you go to the Royalton in Punta Cana? We were actually just in Punta Cana 1 week ago! Stayed at the Lopesan Costa Bávaro (just posted that video), and we were looking at the Royalton there too! Awe, we appreciate your support 🙏🙌

@@AdventureEncounters HI. Your video was so informative. I saw the link for Cancun and read all the information but now that I am trying to access it again it doesn't work. Have you taken it down?
Hello 👋 Tgank you so much for watching and a bigger thanks for letting me know about our website. I just got off the ohone with our website host & they said they fixed the issue and it should be back up & running in 24 hrs. If its not loaded by the time you read this, maybe I can help with your questions? I apreciate you stopping by 🙏🙌

We are not crowd folks so I must say the empty areas appeal to me.
Lol... same for us! The rooftop was perfect! Had the best views & it was empty! Appreciate you stopping by Janis! ❤
- Ashley
Man it will be great when travel isn’t such a bureaucratic mess, at least y’all made the best of it and it looked like it was worth it in the end!
I 💯💯💯💯 agree with this! Mexico was the easiest and quickest to get into... so we took advantage 👀
