Honeymoon in Playa del Carmen

Need suggestions for honeymoon during Memorial Day week. We don't need an all adult resort, but don't want to be knee deep in kids either. Royal Hideaway's web page looks nice. Can't find the home pages with lots of pictures, etc for the Iberostar's or Riu's. Looking for resort with great pools (we like waterfalls) and beach activities (hobbie cats are great). Room service would be nice for at least one breakfast in bed. Buffet breakfast and lunch are fine, but definitely want sit down dinners every night with GOOD food. What do you all think is the best place? Thanks.

Coming up soon will be our 4th trip to the Riv Maya having stayed at the Bahia Principe Tulum (do not recommend this place). If money were no concern, we would definitely stay at the Royal Hideaway; however we've opted for the Riu Palace which has seen some very good reviews. RH: first choice, Riu Palace: second. Someday we'll book the RH.

HEY..RH no question.My fiance and I spent last memorial day weekend there.Its great and I wouldnt even consider anywhere else..Great spa,food,very upscale enviroment.The pool is ok ...but the ocean is so perfect for lounging and swimming that you will not want to even get in the pool.Have fun!!!

Thank you both for your suggestions. Booked my honeymoon at Royal Hideaway yesterday. $3,333, including tax for 8 nights through Travel-Center.Com (who was also recommended on this site).

Congrats...you are going to love it.I just wanted to add that they have a great spa.My fiance and I did a couples massage(he is not really a spa guy) and it was wonderful.Having drinks at night at the outdoor tables(I forgot the name of it) is wonderful...very relaxing.Let me know if you have any more questions...Im excited for you!
