Our recent stay at Royal Sands Resort was pure bliss! 🌴 From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel like treasured guests, greeting us with genuine smiles and heartfelt hospitality. The sparkling turquoise waters and pristine beachfront were postcard-perfect, but what truly made our visit special was the resort’s attention to detail – from spotless rooms to thoughtful touches that made us feel at home. The concierge team went above and beyond, and the atmosphere was the perfect blend of relaxation and fun. A true gem that we can’t wait to return to!

Worst Vacation

By far the worst vacation experience my wife and I have had. Service was terrible, food at the hotel was darn near inedible and we had to change rooms half way through our stay. Apparently somewhere hidden in fine print it says you will have to change rooms if staying on a Saturday. This is because the property is a timeshare. So if you’re looking for just a vacation look else and if you’re looking for a timeshare you’ve been warned, I couldn’t imagine being locked into this place. We tried every option to get a refund so we could go elsewhere.

My family and I had a wonderful time at The Royal Sands Resort! The rooms were spotless, the facilities throughout the resort were well maintained, and there were many activities for us to do at the resort. There was a variety of food options — all of which were delicious. The staff also ensured our safety by keeping in mind any food allergies when serving us. The staff was also very helpful in providing us information and activities around the resort and in planning excursions, like a day trip to Chichen Itza. Would highly recommend this place for family activities!
