We stayed at the Sands the 3rd week in June after staying the 2nd week in a huge resort outside of Playa. Thank goodness we chose the Sands. What a wonderful resort. Side by side comparison to the mega resort our first week, the Sands wins hands down. We did not exchange in, but rented online from an owner. Upon... more

This Place was awesome. We hated to leave. We had an age group from 4 month old to 84 years old and everyone was happy. The cleanest place in Cancun. The workers clean all day long. They treat all guests very nice and the service is unmatched! No detail is forgotten when it comes to the Royal Sands. We had... more

We stayed @ The Royal Sands from June 7th through the 14th 2008--We had a wonderful time. There is nothing I can say that is bad about the resort. Upon arriving at the resort we were greeted with-"Welcome Home!!! - cool washclothes to cool us and a bottle of water. The greeter was very nice! The front desk was helpful... more

4th time staying at the Royal Sands. Excellent very time- just seems to improve stay after stay! Captain Cove's Resturant is GREAT seafood as well as other food items. CoCo Bongo show is a must see-great for any age adults! Hacienda Sisal -food is great-show is a little cheesy. Seems to be for 65+ crowd. Tour recommendations-Sea Passion Catamaran snorkel... more

We just returned from the Royal Sands, this was our 4th time staying at the resort. I think it gets better and better each time that we go there. You can't ask for an easier vacation, especially with kids. The villa's provide so much space when traveling with a family. This comes in handy when the kids get knocked out... more

My wife and I just returned from a week at the Royal Sands, May 17-24. My parents are owners and they go for 2 weeks every year before and after Memorial Day. This is the second time my wife and I have gone with them for one of their weeks. The Good: 1. The entire resort is always super clean.... more

The Royal Sands was wonderful! I "won" a week there through a charity auction at which an owner donated his week. I've been going to timeshare units around the world (London, Aruba, Bahamas, Florida, NC Outer Banks) since the late 1980s and this was the best run and most professional of them all. The grounds were immaculate! The service was... more

My husband and I exchanged a week at the Royal Sands May 3rd thru May 10th. When we arrived we were greeted with a cold bottle of water but they had problems finding our reservation. We ended up going to the welcome party because we had read that they give you useful information at it which was not correct, it... more

My family and I have returned to the Royal Sands 5 times in 7 years. And sadly, the "honeymoon" is over. We pre-paid for a "lock-out" room last year. When we made our reservation the operator insisted it was for the Hacienda resort not the Sands. After faxing her our contract that stated the Sands she then made the reservation... more
