jrobison Posted September 13, 2011 #2 Share Posted September 13, 2011 My aunt and uncle went there last September and loved it. They actually left on a cruise this weekend and are planning on doing it again this week. We are going on NCL next week but we decided on Nachi Cocum.

barthop Posted September 13, 2011 #3 Share Posted September 13, 2011 My step father tried this one as it seemed to be a good deal, however it is just a timeshare trap! Beware, as you lose lots of time on their presentation and can't get them off your back when trying to relax! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crewsin250 Posted September 14, 2011 Author #4 Share Posted September 14, 2011 I know we won't be in the mood for a time share as we are not there long enough for that. From what I had seen they charged $40 a person it was not free like you get with a time share deal. Again Thanks Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I had seen they charged $40 a person it was not free like you get with a time share deal. Again Thanks Paul We went there last February and paid $40pp and did not have to go though a time share presentation. It was well worth that. Drinks from 12:00 to 5:00 and lunch at noon at their indoor buffet which was very good. They also have two pool snack bars which were decent. The pools are great. They beach is small. They also included 1 hour of snorkel equipment for free. You can walk right out and snorkel in 3 to 6 feet of water and see lots of fish and even some rays. For $40, it was well worth it and it is definatly within walking distance unless you are docking at the downtown pier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont see it listed on Carnival excursion list and no mention of any day passes on the Park Royal website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern rose Posted October 4, 2011 #7 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Here a email that I received from Park Royal about getting a Day Pass from them: Park Royal Cozumel is one of the most spectacular, self-comprised Resort in the Island. We are located in front of International pier and just five minutes from Punta Langouste pier. Come with us and enjoy the paradise, where everything becomes an experience. Day Pass US$ 40.00 per person, per day. Kids under 12 years old US$ 20.00 per kid, per day. Includes: From 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM Food & Beverages available during that time Entertainment program Kid’s Club This program is subject to availability.

tweety33 Posted October 4, 2011 #8 Share Posted October 4, 2011 After looking at there website, it looks like a nice place so I emailed them 3 days ago and have not heard back. I did read somewhere on line that they do the day pass now for $70. I like that its in walking distance to the ship. I would consider it for $40 but not $70.

Excuse my ignorance but i am wondering if some of the other larger Resorts in Cozumel such as the Palace are willing to sell day passes also. Especially in this economy. I am going to send out some emails and will report back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern rose Posted October 5, 2011 #10 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I would be very interested in what the other hotels offer. Other hotels with Day Pass programs are Iberostar, Nachi Cocom and Aura Wyndham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginjer2911 Posted October 5, 2011 #11 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Dh and I stayed there on a land vacation in 2007 and loved it. Would like to do a day pass there. While they only have a small beach the snorkeling is great. We have two small kids and think this would be perfect for them. They can play in the sand and do some snorkeling.

boxerlovers Posted October 9, 2011 #13 Share Posted October 9, 2011 We have stayed at this resort twice before. It is a really great hotel. Lovely beach and a couple of oceanside pools too. Great food and great bars! Also wondering if Claudia is still working there in the activities department? We saw Fernando last year when we went snorkeling nearby. We are also interested in doing the day pass in January when we are there on our Carnival cruise. We can usually walk from the one pier, but it is a couple of miles or so if you dock at the downtown pier. I am interested in knowing what others come up with, and pricing as well. I would do $40 per person, but agree that $70 per person would be a bit high. Please keep us posted. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxerlovers Posted October 12, 2011 #14 Share Posted October 12, 2011 I just called Royal Holiday to check on the day pass for the Park Royal. It depends on the time of the year as to the cost. We will be there in January, and the cost then is $60 per person for the day. I believe it was cheaper for off-season months such as June and September, then it was $40. It may also cost more for holiday weeks. They said you just show up and purchase the day pass the day of. No prior reservations required. The only thing is, if they are full at the hotel, they may not honor the request, unless you are a Royal Holiday member, but that sounded unlikely to happen. This also includes 1 hour of snorkeling, in addition to food and drinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kwbound Posted October 12, 2011 #17 Share Posted October 12, 2011 I emailed them a few days ago and specified that we would be there on Dec 4th. They replied that the day pass would be $40. I specifically asked if we would be required to set through a timeshare presentation and they said as long as you purchase the pass at the front desk, you do not have to set through a presentation. I hope when we get there they don't try to charge us $60. Actually, I will just take my email which shows I asked for that specific date and hopefully they will honor the price. If anyone goes between now and then, please post your experiences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovehew Posted October 15, 2011 #21 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Hi again. Just want to say thanks for the good info on Park Royal. Sounds like a good place and very convenient. After more research my wife and i booked Aura Grand Bay instead of Iberostar. I have posted info on that in a new thread. Enjoy your trips!!!

pandi77 Posted November 23, 2011 #22 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Heard back from Park Royal and the $40 per person per day was confirmed although the package doesn't start until 11am which is 12 ship time (Dec 3rd) That seems like a short day if the ship leaves at 6pm (5pm Coz time)? When I emailed (Christian) back and asked if we could come early and use the facilities and pay for a drink out of pocket until the "package time" starts he recommended we pay a $70 day fee. That's a huge difference for wanting to show up a couple of hours early and snorkel and have A drink before 11. We have a large group of people that wanted to spend the day at Park Royal but if the window for $40 is that short we will probably go elsewhere.

hawaiibound24 Posted November 28, 2011 #23 Share Posted November 28, 2011 We went last February and they allowed us to use the pools, beach etc. early. I think we got there about 9:45 and they told us the bars and food would not open until 11:00. This was really OK, because it was not hot at all in February at 10am. BTW, we paid $40. Being walking distance to the ships was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a large group of people that wanted to spend the day at Park Royal but if the window for $40 is that short we will probably go elsewhere. We were in Cozumel a couple of weeks ago and decided against Park Royal because our ship left at 4pm and we decided the window was too short since I had also written to ask if we could come and leave early. However we did go into the resort to look round briefly. It is certainly very convenient only a few minutes walk from International Pier and we would certainly consider it for the future. I think as stated above you could probably pay and use the facilities early but I don't know if they are able to make cash sales for drinks since it is "all-inclusive" and people are were wearing wrist bands. Charges for passes do seem to be a little variable as already discussed on these boards. Perhaps it depends on time of year or economy - we were quoted $40pp like you in our email but on the day we were told $35pp by a security guard or there was a booth on the street offering day passes (plus??) for $20pp with an hour long timeshare presentation! We ended up having lunch and a drink at El Cid next door on a pay as you go basis, although they also offer various day passes as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
familycruiserwisconsin Posted April 21, 2014 #25 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Greetings, we just returned from 5 days on Liberty of the Seas. During our day in Cozumel we purchased all inclusive day passes to the Park Royal Cozumel. The hotel is about a 5 minute walk from the International cruise port. Despite trying to purchase the passes in advance, I was unable to confirm anything with hotel staff (when I called they said to just buy them at the front desk) until we arrived. Once we did, there was no problem. The passes were $40 U.S. for adults and $20 for children. The passes gave you access to all the recreational activities, three swimming pools, all-inclusive food and drinks (a nice lunch buffet was available and a number of bars, including swim-up bars), and an hour of free snorkeling gear. The beach was small but worked fine for our kids. The snorkeling right off the beach was excellent. I saw hundreds of fish. The food and drinks were fine. All in all this was a great way to spend a day in Cozumel. Our kids who are under 10 are still a bit young to fully appreciate any cultural excursions so having a relaxing day was a great alternative. I would recommend this property.
