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.

Really enjoyed our time at the Royal Sands. Check in was smooth and easy. Our concierge Dylan was very responsive and helpful to us navigating our stay. Must mention German in Hacienda Sisal and Orlando and Roberto at la Veranda. They gave excellent wait service, were very friendly and efficient. The room was very comfortable for our family of 4. Our maid Herlinda was very professional and kept our suite immaculate. Food was pretty good even though it was buffet. The theme days made it more interesting so you were not eating the same thing everyday. Food at Hacienda Sisal was amazing, along with the live performances. Pools and grounds were always immaculate and clean. Only thing was the presentation for the timeshares could have been shorter especially when it was evident that we were not going to make such an important decision on the spot.

Property is well maintained. The bathrooms and kitchens could use some updating. You have to exit the front to use the gym and spa services which is odd. There is only one main restaurant for breakfast which can be very busy. The beach is beautiful and there are lots of chair but you have to get up early to reserve or you may not get one. Beach volleyball is available but it sends to be overtaken by older men making it intimidating for teenagers and women to participate. If you order pool service or dine you need to give your key card, which becomes tedious and inconvenient as the week goes on. For example if you are at the pool and give your key card to order. You have to close the tab to get the card if you need to go back to your room for something. Not easy when servers are busy. The kids club is great. The tennis courts are in good condition. The spa is nice. The sushi restaurant ant was our favourite. There are lots of activities to keep you busy. Buses run right out front to safely take you downtown. Everyone working there is kind and friendly and deserve a raise. The market on property is convenient and has lots of products. We would return.

Our stay here exceeded our expectations. The staff was excellent, and the property was well kept. We enjoyed the food options, and that there was a Starbucks, store, and gift shop on the property. We felt spoiled being able to order tacos and drinks while we sat on the beach. The beach is beautiful at this resort. We wished the outdoor hot tubs would have been warmer, but that was our only complaint. We would totally stay here again!

The pool waiters, Tomas and Gabriel, were magnificent and truly the highlight of the trip. This is a timeshare resort that primarily caters to guests aged 70 and above. If you're looking for sleek designs and over-the-top customer service, this isn’t the place for you. I'm not joking—if there are 1,000 visitors, 990 of them will be elderly, and the other 10 will be their 50-year-old children and grandchildren. The food is below par, and the resort’s systems are outdated. The furniture in the rooms feels straight out of the mid-'90s—think Golden Girls style. This isn't your typical resort; it's a true timeshare hotel trying to sustain itself by selling rooms owned by timeshare holders. However, the infrastructure isn’t set up to accommodate such a large number of guests. There are too few restaurants, meaning you'll likely end up at the subpar buffet instead of the reservation-only dining options. If you want a poolside chair, be prepared to get there at 5 a.m. to place a flag—and return every hour to ensure it hasn’t been taken (this is not an exaggeration). Even at the reserved restaurant, there’s an upcharge for quality food. The poke bowl was solid, but the sushi was the worst I’ve ever had—they use lox-style salmon instead of fresh sushi-grade fish. It’s clear that the focus isn’t on quality but rather on accommodating the masses within a limited system. That said, the beauty of this resort lies in the families who have been coming here for over 30 years.

We loved the room, cleanliness, and staff. The pools and beach were amazing. The children’s slides were so much fun and it is a perfect choice for a family. The only thing we did not like was the reservation times for dinner. Unless you are a member you get whatever times are left over for the specialty restaurants. Usually, being 8:30 and 9pm. Too late for our family.
