As soon as we walked in the door we knew this vacation was going to be amazing. Greeted with a free bottle of water then taken to your room with your own concierge. We ordered food online to be stocked in our room so we got to our room with a nice cold beer. The rooms are so nice and... more

We stayed with friends of ours who own three weeks at the Sands. Having never been to Mexico we didn't know what to expect. Well, were we surprised!!! The Sands is so beautiful, so clean and so welcoming we never wanted to go home. The units were large and that outside balcony...let's just say I wanted to hang out there... more

My wife and I went to Cancun and stayed at the Royal Sands for a week. We traded a lockoff via II and were given a lockoff at Royal Sands. We had a very nice, relaxing week and truly enjoyed the pool areas at the resort. Some quick notes: Room: Not all lockoffs are created equal. We traded one that... more

Personal disclaimer: I am a Royal Sands time share owner. That being said, I am also in the restaurant/hotel business and have a critical eye when it comes to this business. I reviewed several trip advisor comments before our most recent trip and found most reassuring, however, I was concerned when I read the post from "Crazy Traveling Texan" concerning... more

I went with my boyfriend and his family, who have a timeshare at the Royal Sands. It exceeded my expectations by a milestone. The service was amazing, everyone was SO nice and accommodating. Everyone on staff says "hola" to you as you walk by, they are so friendly! The room had more than enough space, including a full kitchen and... more

This was my 5th Trip to the Hotel Zone in Cancun. We have stayed at the other Royal Resorts (Royal Islander, Royal Caribbean) and love going. Since the Royal Sands is the newest in Cancun of the Royals (and has the spa) I wanted to stay here. We got a 2 bedroom villa ocean front for 1 week at the... more

We purchased our time share at the Royal Sands and have been staying there every year since the resort opened. It is by far the best of the Cancun Royal resorts. Our unit is both the lockout and the villa. The views are gorgeous, the staff are amazing, and you can't bet the location. If you are lucky enough to... more

We absolutely love the Sands! We traveled with our best friends and they too loved it! The service was impeccable from the front desk to housekeeping! The resort was very clean and maintained. If I had to complain about anything it would be the beach. After hurricane "Wilma" she took part of the beach with her. When at the beach... more
