I am never coming back to this resort. The food was not good. I barely ate. I ended up buying snacks from the convenient store because I did not eat much. The customer service was really bad. If you are not white, you will be treated poorly. Very disappointed…

Room was great for a family! It was pretty annoying that you’d have to give your room card every time you ordered a drink at the swim up bar or restaurant. Service was very slow so we ended up waiting a long time each time to get are key card back. If they’d remove the card issue the resort would have been a lot better.

We just returned from the RS on Saturday April 12 after a 7-night stay in an ocean front 1-bedroom deluxe suite. Now before I go into this review, I'll say that your experience is going to be decided by your expectations before you arrive. We have been to 7 or 8 resorts in Cancun from the top down to the bottom, so we know what we like and what's value for money. This place is fantastic. No you don't get a grand marble entrance / reception area but it's nice and very clean. The food is VERY GOOD for all inclusive. Especially the room service and the food from the pool bar. The shrimp tacos are the best I've ever had. The phase 1 pool is massive, plenty of room for everyone during our stay. The beach is beautiful, lovely white sandy beach with 3-400 feet of turquoise water in front of you. Drinks service to the beach was as good as around the pool, it helps if you drop them a $20 right off the bat. The servers are very friendly and very willing to help with any request. The buffet has a decent selection of food, very tasty. It is a bit dated in decor, but I don't see the value in paying more for fancy stuff I'm looking at for 15-20 mins a day. The food is good, that's what matters. We have already booked to go back in August this year and will probably make this our new vacation spot for the foreseeable future. Finally, it's not a Hyatt Zilara, not many are, so if you want the top end with all the frills you'll be disappointed. This is a SOLID resort when others are not.

The property was not bad but employees and managers kept pushing towards the time share and had us for hours without eating with a 3 year old trying to force us to into buying the time share. Did not like the fact that we were moved to another room and it was not as cleaned and good as the prior one. The front desk trick us saying it will be a pent house de rather than explaining exactly where we were going on the other end of the hotel away from the pool and everything. The choices of food were limited as well as the drinks. Spend over 6k for 2 kids and 2 adults and definitely was not worth it could have been better.

I did not like that every time we went to eat we had to give them our key card. That is BS I have been to quite a few places and the Royal Sand was my least favorite. The situation with the key card seemed to make the employees uncomfortable doing it and they were not as friendly. Needless to say I will not go there again. It also lacked activities within the place

It was overall a super nice place; however the all inclusive package was not like other resorts. Most alcoholic drinks and food items on the menu had an upcharge in order to get them. The outdoor bars closed at 530pm which was fairly early.
