The Royal Sands Reviews & Ratings

Have stayed here a number of times with a large group from OKC. Its a very casual, family friendly place that take good care of it's guests.

My only gripe was the constant hassling from the timeshare salespeople. We got phone calls each morning, and was approached several times around the pool.

You have to tell the front desk to take your room off the "sell" list, when you arrive or be prepared for the hassle.

Our group goes spring break and its a very popular time. We have found www.omcancun.com the most helpful website to rent from owners direct. The savings are about 35% over the resort offered prices. Hope this will save you some time and money.

The Sands is perfect. neautiful Beaches, top notch service.

Spent the week in a beach front 2 bedroom unit March 25 to April 2, 2006. Beach was completely restored and it was beautiful! Unit spacious and well maintained with the exception of the kitchen being a bit dated, though functional and well equiped. Service 5 star. Beach bar service outstanding. Pools beautiful and spacious. Food excellant and three restuarants offered great variety and excellant service. Don't miss breakfast buffet. No trace of huricane Wilma at this resort, with the exception of the palm tree tops, which are already sprouting anew. A wonderful relaxing vacation. I would return in a heartbeat-- one week wasn't long enough!

Just returned from a week stay at the Royal Sands. Witnessed the re-making of the beach. Quite a site as they pumped the sand along the beach front. View on www.royalresorts.com. Beach is back to what it was before hurricane Wilma. The staff at this resort gives excellent service and never disappoints us. It's amazing that the structure of all the Royal resorts in Cancun held up so well as we couldn't believe the damage of other resorts along the beach front as they continue to recover after Wilma.

UPDATE: The Royal Sands BEACH IS BACK!!! See link http://www.royalresorts.com/gallery.php

My Wife & I have been going been going down to the Sands at least once a year since they first opened in 2000. The Resort is ideally located, has any facility you could ask for on site, and every unit is extremely large and everyroom has a great view of the Ocean. We have traveled to may locations, but this is by far our favorite resort in the world. We now own many weeks at the Sands and look forward to our next trip down.

Beautiful resort, spotlessly clean, wonderful employees. Two-bedroom, two-bath condos with full kitchen, dining room, living room, huge balconies and walk-in closets. Plenty of room for family and friends to join you on vacation. Great views of ocean, pools or both from all villas. This resort has everything you need - laundry facilities, grocery store, travel agency, gift shops, family activities, spa & fitness facility, restaurants, even a doctor's office. Located right on one of the most beautiful beaches in the world with white sugar sand and gorgeous turquoise water. Great value for the money. Would not hesitate going back here.

Great for the whole family and friends. Plenty of activities, great restuarants, dancing and nearby shopping malls.

This is the gold standard for all timeshares. Place is spectacular. Beautiful physical plant and great location on the strip. You can walk to Kuklacan Plaza and 1 bus stop ride to LaIsla Mall. Beautiful spa, gym, etc, etc...

The Royal Sands is sensational! Walk into your oceanfront villa and the very first thing you see is the shimmering blue sea right in front of you! It's breathtaking! Open the patio door and feel the warm, tropical air surround you! It's like a dream!

The service at this luxury resort is impeccable whether you're by the pool, on the beach, in your room, or in the lobby area. There is always someone wanting to wait on you and make you happy! This is the life!

If you want peace and relaxation, it's yours for the taking everywhere you turn. We've been here Week 19, 37, and 44 ~ all weeks that were quiet and unpopulated. But if you want action, there are plenty of activities to choose from all the time at the resort.

Everyone here speaks English and caters to your wishes. The staff caters to your wishes. We've met very nice guests too that we've kept in touch with since.

We used our unit in 2004 and had the best experience at the resort. The unit was in great condition. The restaurant wasn't as good as I expected but was convenient.

The deck had a fantastic view of the ocean and the resort.

My wife and I bought a week back in 1999 before the Sands was even done being built. We now own weeks in January and November. This resort is simply fantastic. I've never been to any resort anywhere where the entire staff has been this consistently good. The front desk personnel are the weakest but everyone else is great. Having been the Sands over 10 times now we've gotten to know several of the staff as well. It is so nice to pull up front and be recognized and "welcomed home". Cancun may not have the beauty of Hawaii or some of the Carribbean Islands, but I've never been on any other beaches where the sand and water are better. We just purchased two weeks at the Sea Aquarium in Curacao and the staff is amazing there as well. For all Royal Resorts owners you should definitely visit this resort--I walked around speechless it was so beautiful there as well.

As close to heaven as you can get! Fantastic accommodations! All of the employees treat you with first class all the way and pay attention to every little detail for your comfort. If I could afford it...I'd move in!!!!

I am interested in staying again some time in January. If you have a week to rent please contact me also I would like to look into buying my own time-share if it is reasonably priced.

Thanks Royal Sands...YOU'RE THE BEST!!

I purchased a villa in March and brought my family in the beginning of November. Everyone absolutely loved the resort, the villa, the pools, and all of the activities on the hotel zone strip. I must say, the ocean water was a bit rough so we hung in the pool or went snorkeling to Puerto Morales. My husband loved it so much, we bought a second week for the spring!! Can't wait to go back...selling all other timeshares!

What a fabulous resort! We have been to the Royal Sands 4 times - and can't wait to return. Impeccable grounds, wonderful service, friendly employees, fresh towels at the pool, daily maid service - all fantastic.

We love how the pool and the beach are on the same level so that you can easily roam between the 2. But, you don't even have to get up for a drink. The efficient bar staff ensures that your drink orders are always filled!

Thumbs up. Way Up.

we loved the Royal Sands. I enjoyed their "fully" equipped kitchen: stove,dishwasher, and full fridge came in very handy. The staff is wonderful, and we enjoyed the group activities thru out the week. We've met some wonderful people in our week there and I highly recomend a stay. already planning for next year.

We went in Sept. 2002 (hurricane season) and had a great time. You are treated like royalty the moment you check in. First class all the way. 2 huge pools, spacious grounds, good restaurant on site.

The resort is beautiful. We were in an oceanfront unit. There is nothing like waking up every morning with a view of the white sand beach and turqoise waters.... My friends compared the resort to a Las Vegas penthouse.

The staff & spa services was very good. The spa has a complete work out facility that could compete with the gym from home!

We would definitely return to the Sands.

WE HAVE STAYED HERE IN 2002 AND 2003. WONDERFUL STAFF TAKES EXCELLENT CARE OF YOU AND LETS YOU ENJOY YOURSELF. ROOMS ARE TREMENDOUS AND THE TERRACE OVERLOOKING THE SEA IS HUGE! CONVENIENT TRAVEL AGENCY, MEDIA CENTER, AND GROCERY IN THE HOTEL. THIS IS THE BEST SERVICE WE HAVE EXPERIENCED AND WE WILL KEEP COMING BACK EVERY YEAR! THE ROYAL RESORTS ARE FANTASTIC!

Just got back from this resort. Stayed week 18. I would rate this as a best resort I ever stayed in. The location on the beach is perfect, the only downside is big waves and we went to other beaches with more calm water.
