A Families and Couples Photoshoot at Royal Resorts Cancún: Spots, Times and Prices

Royal Resorts Cancún is on the central stretch of the Hotel Zone, on the open Caribbean. Here is how we plan a session there, from the first frame on the property to the last light on the sand.

Where We Shoot

The beach at your property. Each Royal Resorts property has its own stretch of sand; we plan the session for the one you stay at.

The water's edge. We always finish at the shoreline, away from the pools and loungers, where the background is only sea and sky.

Nearby. Public beaches along this stretch, such as Playa Marlin and Playa Ballenas, offer wide sand if you want a second setting.

Sunrise or Sunset

Times for this beach on the 15th of each month in 2027.

The beach faces east: the hour before sunset gives soft, even light, and sunrise lifts straight out of the sea. For a sunset over water, the Nichupté lagoon is just across the boulevard.

How the Photographer Gets In

For staying guests, there is no complicated paperwork: you register the photographer as your guest with the front desk a day or two before, and we check in on arrival. The vendor fee you may read about applies to weddings; for a private session, Royal Resorts Cancún guests are very seldom asked for it, and we confirm the policy in writing before your date. If you are staying at another hotel, a day pass usually applies. More in our guide to outside photographers at resorts.
