Gran Porto Review
The planning process was scary in the fact that we had never been to the Gran Porto, or Playa del Carmen. We have friends that stayed at the Royal across the street and other friends stay at Real Resorts in Cancun, in which all recommended a Real Resort. We picked items from what we liked. It turned out that everything was good. We arrived on Monday, May 19th and left on Tuesday, May 27th.
About the hotel: It is nicer than what we imagined. It has a very nice Mex

Pros: Location, Staff, Resort!
Cons: Minor miscommunications, but nothing serious!
Check In: Check in was a bit chaotic. There were 25 of us coming from the same bus, and other people (not a part of our group) trying to jump in front of the line. We were brought welcome drinks, thank goodness, because we stood in line for a long time! Some of our group didn't get the right rooms and they were pretty frustrated, but eventually it all worked out… it probably was about 20-25 minutes but it felt like it took forever!
Room: Our room was great.. we stayed in 133, which

Me and my family stayed at Gran Porto Real for my destination wedding at playa del carmen. The hotel was pretty nice and the service was really good.

The beach in front of the hotel is not that pretty you would need to walk a little bit to enjoy a better cost line.
My staying was comfortable I had an amazing wedding at Xcaret park and re

Not long got back from a two week stay at the Gran Porto Real. So depressing writing this, the last time I came on this forum was before the wedding :(
Anyway there were 11 of us including me and my husband.
ROOMS - When we arrived we got a free upgrade to a Junior Suite as we were the bride and groom. Whist we were really happy with our room, for me it feels as though that should have been a standard room rather than the upgrade. Don't get me wrong it was really nice, but seei
