This is our second stay in Royal Sands Resort. I love it here. The rooms are very comfortable, and very clean. Someone mentioned there are only a few English speaking channels on the tv which is not true. The majority of the stations are English with spanish sub-titles. Eating at LaVeranda was always good food with excellent service. The drinks... more

I will start out by saying that this is my first review of a resort. This is the first time that we exchanged our floating week through Interval International. We started out trying to go to Aruba but no resort that was available interested us. I should add that we are Starwoods Owners at two properties, (Harborside at Atlantis &... more

My husband and I ended up here for our 1 year anniversary (we were supposed to go to Hawaii again, but airfare jumped too high for us). We had a great time. I was aware that we would be hassled/hounded in Cancun, but never expected it from our resort. Every time we were getting ready to walk out the door... more

This was our 5th time in 5 years staying at the Royal Sands - we now are thinking that 1 week is just not enough time. We love it there. The staff is warm & friendly, the villas are spacious & the pools are wonderful! The resort was very active while we were there which was nice to see after... more

Traded my Sands week 47 for week 25, 7 amazing days. We brought our friends and their daughters age 12 & 10 along with my wife and daughter age 12 and the stay couldn't have been better. You are always greeted when you arrive with a welcome crew who tells you "welcome home" and that's how we feel at the... more
