    family room
    great food

    Great place for a family getaway

    So we had this family room upgrade that was really nice and spacious.

    While it wasn't exactly cheap, it was still acceptable for what we got.

    stunning beach
    great food
    excellent service
    reservation difficulties
    signage issues
    pool chair

    My stay at The Royal was enjoyable overall. The beach was stunning with crystal-clear waters, perfect for swimming. Loved the friendly staff who made us feel welcome every day. The food options were great, especially at Hacienda Sisal – every meal exceeded my expectations. The pool area was well-maintained, providing a relaxing vibe. However, getting chair space at the pool could be tricky at times. I found it challenging to navigate the property due to the lack of clear signage. We faced issues with dinner reservations. getting the time we wanted was difficult. Also, I encountered varied responses to my questions at the reception, which felt a bit unprofessional. Despite these hiccups, the cleanliness of the resort and the quality of service shone through. Enjoyed complimentary room service and appreciated the upgrade to a lovely family room. The festive atmosphere for the 4th of July celebration was a highlight. Would consider coming back despite some inconveniences in reservations and communication.

    serene atmosphere
    gourmet food
    transactional service
    pushy promotions

    Like it or leave it? here’s my verdict

    The beachfront Junior Suite was fantastic! With a serene atmosphere, the gourmet food offerings delighted us,, ensuring we always had something delicious to savor. ,

    Service felt transactional at times,, and the push for time-share promotions was a bit overwhelming, detracting from the overall experience.

    dinner reservations
    timing issues

    We had an amazing time at The Royal Sands Resort & Spa! Our Deluxe Two Bedroom Master Suite was spacious and had a private balcony with stunning ocean views. The all-inclusive experience truly made our family vacation stress-free, with plenty of delicious food options available. The kids absolutely loved the beautiful pools and the private beach area.

    Dinner reservations were a bit challenging to secure.

    spa treatment
    outdoor pool

    Relaxing, rejuvenating, radiant

    I loved spending hours lounging by the outdoor pool, soaking in the sun and sipping on tropical drinks. The spa treatments left me feeling completely rejuvenated, especially the full body massage that felt like a dream! Plus, the gorgeous view from my Junior Suite overlooking the pool and ocean was the cherry on top of this incredible stay!

    stunning ocean views
    strict pool rules

    A week of sea and sun!

    Waking up to stunning ocean views made each morning special. The staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive, ensuring our stay was memorable and comfortable.

    However, the strict pool rules limited our swim area, which dampened some of the fun. We felt restricted despite being experienced swimmers.

    loud guests

    I truly enjoyed my stay at The Royal in Cancun. The beachfront views from my Junior Suite were stunning, and having no loud music around provided a serene atmosphere. Although some guests were overly loud, the excellent food options made up for it. I can’t wait to return!

    quiet atmosphere
    food quality

    The adult pool was a bit too quiet for my liking — a bit more liveliness would be appreciated!!! Also, the food quality stands out for the wrong reasons at places like El Conquistador — definitely needs improvement!!!
