This is our 7th year coming to the Royal Sands and as always the visit was fantastic. You basically can do as much or as little as you choose with no pressure from the staff. Grounds and beach area are always well kept. The security staff does an excellent job in looking out for your safety. Food is excellent and... More

This place is great for families or couples. The hotel is run very well. The staff is friendly and very attentive to all of your concerns. Food is very good and reasonably priced. It would have gotten 5 Stars if it wasn't for the poor internet service. On a scale of 1 to 10 with 1 being the worst I... More

I can't say enough good things about this hotel, It's views are amazing, staff is friendly, and food is delicious. I went with my boyfriend for a romantic vacation for a week during the beginning of November, and the weather was perfect. We were picked up at the airport by a company that is associated with The royal sands and... More

I go to Cancun at least once a year. I love the beautiful beaches, entertainment, security, and perfect weather that Cancun provides over other cities in Mexico. They Royal Sands is a premiere property that ALWAYS has a wonderful staff to assist with anything you need. The property itself is in a great location - not near the party area... More

Just returned from our fourth stay at the Royal Sands in Cancun. The resort is beautiful and the service is second to none. We have not returned to our resort in the Bahamas since we discovered Cancun and the Royal Sands. We are now owners at the Sands and plan to return for many years. My husband always makes the...

We were in Cancun three weeks this year- 1 week at the Royal Mayan and 2 weeks at the Royal Sands. Both of these resorts are superior to anywhere we have ever stayed. The service cannot be compared to others and all the amenities just add to the value. There are so many nice places to eat on the properties... More

we spent 2 weeks here and totally enjoyed every minute, the place is spotless, gardens superbly neat, the pools and beach facilities great, there were a couple of little faults, one is that the apartment did not have a washer/dryer, but there was a reasonably priced laundry room on site, but it really would benefit from these being in the...

My husband and I just returned from a fantastic one week stay at the Royal Sands Resort and Spa! We had never been to Cancun before so did not really know what to expect. We do a lot of travel and somehow had not gotten around to the Yucatan Peninsula. This lovely resort hotel was beautiful both inside and out,... More

We come here every year and are still in awe of the beauty of the resort and ocean views. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and provides great service. Over the years they remember you and your likes/dislikes. They welcome you back to your Caribbean home and its even better than that. More

The Royal Sands far exceeded our expectations. The rooms were very clean, the service was outstanding and the food was very tasty. The location of this resort was perfect since we were walking distance to two malls and had quick access to the bus stop. We could always find spots at the pools and beach palapas. The service at the... More
