The food choices were great !! I’m a frequent traveler to Cancun. The food was top notch. Multiple pools and beach / lounge chairs. Only downfall was the floors were very slippery. I almost fell multiple times walking slow and wearing flip flops or even tennis shoes.

Been going to “Royal Resorts” for about 12 years, and have always loved it. The purchase by Holiday Inn has definitely been noticed. Primarily with the food options and quality. The food was one thing that really separated these resorts from others, and unfortunately it has gone drastically downhill in this area. We have never had GI issues in the past, and this trip we both were dealing with them during the whole stay. We heard other guests talking about their stomach issues as well. The quality was the biggest issue, but the lack of offerings was evident as well. Overall big disappointment to see a company that has had such high standards fall so quickly. Unfortunately we will be looking at other options for the first time in over a decade.

Beautiful property, pools very spacious and clean. Make reservations for Hacienda Sisal and Bistro for a nice inclusive dinner. Food at buffet had a different cuisine everyday. Transportation was easily arranged around town and bus stop is right outside. The best and safest stay I’ve ever had in Mexico. Thank you Royal Sands.

This is a timeshare property, I had no idea. It is for families with young kids. My main issue… paid full price for the room but told to switch room in middle of my stay, this caused 5 hours without a room. Unacceptable. I should have been compensated for inconvenience. You live and you learn.
