We recently returned from another great stay at the Royal Sands. The beach there was in good shape compared to many of the other resorts on the east side of the island and it had a nice area for swimming. The staff gave us excellent service and the food at both the Veranda and the Hacienda Sisal was excellent. The... more

The resort was very nice and service was good. I was very surprised to find out that there are no "extras" available here unless you pay extra. We looked for an ice machine and discovered, on the first day, that even ice is not free. Be prepared to pay for EVERYTHING, even things you would normally expect to be included... more

We had a 1 bedroom in Phase 2 of the Royal Sands, which was perfect! Starting with the check-in process to when we checked out a week later, this timeshare resort was absolutely first class. We took our daughters (5 & 10 years old) and they both just loved it. There was plenty of activities for them to do, but... more

This was our third time to the royal sands. We are marriott vacation owners and are used to a certain level of vacation experience. I would say it is a four star vs. five star experience, but we have enjoyed our weeks there. Our favorite restaurant is a five minute walk to Cenacolo (an italian restaurant) at the Plaza Kukulkan... more

We stayed here as a bonus week from our time share at a discounted rate. I'm pretty picky and we absolutely LOVED this place! It's the #1 place we've ever stayed at, and we travel several times a year. Here's some info about a number of things we experienced while staying at the Royal Sands, and some comments about other... more

Since we banked our Marriott timeshare with Interval, we received a free week and booked at the Royal Sands. It's a lovely resort and great location (close to bus stop and walking distance to Kukuklan Mall). We stayed in a different room than what was shown on the II voucher. Overall, our room wasn't bad. We had the lock off... more

There was absolutely nothing about the Royal Sands that we didn't love! The staff was amazing, the villas were clean and spacious, the food was always good, and the drinks were even better! Everyone there had one goal in mind and that was to make you as comfortable as possible during your stay with them. They had a welcome party... more

Royal Sands is a great hotel / apartment for Cancun lovers. It's like if you took an apartment building from New Jersey and moved it to the Mexican Caribbean. And added good service. We are a family of four that exchanged a timeshare in Cape Cod for a week here during Christmas 2008. This worked out really well. The rooms... more

Headed back to the Royal Sands for my 2nd trip in 2008. My hubby didn't have enough vacation time so I decided to head down for a week with my mom and dad. I own at the Royal Islander but had already used up my week so my folks traded their Orlando timshare at the Marriott into the Royal Sands.... more
