This is a time share and not a hotel. First and foremost I am a member so I may be a little partial. This is one of the better run time shares in Cancun. Great Family resort, clean with large villas. There are three resturants and a market if you wish to eat in. The service thru out this resort... More

All I can say is WOW! and Thank You! Royal Sands for treating us like royalty and making us feel safe and at home! Me and common law husband exchange our Timeshare thru II for week 4. We had a lock-off in Phase 1 and it was perfect for 2 people. The service all through the resort was amazing. We... More

We had a beach front villa. Very nice villa! The whole resort is awesome. Too bad we had alot of rain which is unusual for the time of the year. But is was still very nice. Food is good. Market is expensive. Take the shuttle to town to Walmart to shop and stock up. More

We just stayed at the Royal Sands for a week by trading our timeshare elsewhere into this resort. The pools are fabulous and the prices at the market inside the Sands was reasonable all things considered. We chose to be more relaxed this vacation but we did go see Chichen Itza as well as spent a day at Isla Muerlas.... More

Please see my review for the Royal Caribbean. The Sands is one of five properties owned by the Royal Resorts and I think it is safe to say they are all very similar in quality. This is the only one of the five Royal Resorts I have not stayed in; however, I've used the spa, pool, beach and eaten at... More

Another wonderful vacation at a five star resort. The Sands clicks on a cylinders. The facility and amenities are first class, the staff is friendly, capable and very helpful. The bonus is the weather was perfect! A great way to end 2011 and start 2012! More

Great location of the hotel and the beach. Everything you can ask for is located right on site. I especially enjoyed the late night entertainment. The food was great, service was even better. Huge and stylish pool, friendly people and well made drinks. The resort is very well managed and offers a wonderful atmosphere for creating a highly memorable vacation.... More

This was our 4th trip to Royal Resorts in Cancun in the past 3 years. 3 times at The Royal Islander and this past week at The Royal Sands. This place is always immaculate! The maids work very hard everyday to keep it clean. The workers are always friendly and greet you when they pass by. They are always very... More

Just returned from our 4th visit to the Royal Sands and it keeps getting better and better! We have 3 children and always hated the regular hotel rooms when traveling as they are so limiting. You either have to rent two rooms and be separated or get crammed into one room. Normally we rent during spring break but because my... More

A group of friends age 25-30 stayed at the resort for a week in October. The suites were immaculate, we had more room than we knew what to do with. After one day the server Miguel knew are names and was more than happy to serve us. I twisted my ankle one night (the old rule stands, dont run by... More
