“Playacar's royal hideaway”

On a beautiful smaller adults-only resort with the beach steps away, Royal Hideaway Playacar – Adults Only is a million-star would-give stay for most: the best staff, over-the-top everywhere service, a wonderful week amid beautiful property, a clean resort and an everything-wanted verdict. Cautions: an initial too-hot room — the AC barely coped around eighty degrees until a building change — and breakfast and lunch buffets lacking variety in a small beachside restaurant, likely a low-occupancy measure.
