We stayed there about 3 years ago. The food was great. This time the food was not. All the pastries tasted the same and the main courses were less than stellar. Was disappointed this time.

The pool area was really nice but I didn’t like how the all exclusive isn’t really all exclusive. There was stuff on menu that has surcharge which means you paid the difference if you wanted that item. And when you order things . They always need your room card so they can itemize what you get even if you didn’t get any thing that didn’t have surcharge. The food was ok. The restaurant food that you had to make reservations for was great. Drinks and alcohol for all exclusives test water down .

This property is a time share property. It is not fully all inclusive, there are good and drinks that are not included, it was annoying not truly knowing if you were gonna have to pay for something or not. It is also not a new property so the furniture and rooms are outdated.

The check-in staff at Royal sands do not service with a smile. There was particularly a lady named Rosa at the building A that seemed to be in a very bad mood each time I went up to ask for some help or inquiries. Each time I spoke with her, I could not help but to wonder why an all-inclusive hotel such as this would hire such a staff who can make their resort look bad and makes visitors not want to come back. Non of them smiled which is so surprising for an all-inclusive resort. They did not seem happy with their job. The only person that seemed to want to help was a concierge I came across named Maria who helped with booking with reservations for dinner and another lady named Mia. They were both kind and wanted to genuinely be of service. Our first concierge named Andrea disappeared after the first day when he saw we had no interest in his sales of timeshare. He was wanted to try and book a timeshare meeting the moment we had just arrived and needed rest and downtime from travel. He seemed ill-timed and insensitive to the resort visitors needs. The beach was nice, although you must be down by the beach to reserve by 5-6am every morning. Also you had to give your key card to the servers each time you ordered something from the restaurant and the pool bar which was so strange and inconvenient. I had to look for my key card many times because the attendant took so long to bring it back when we were ready to head back to our room. Overall, was not an ideal experience.

I have come to Cancun probably ten times in my life. While the the room itself was Nice ish (old bathrooms- not the most modern furniture, but very clean and always replenished with water bottles etc) the minute you stepped outside of the room, with your all inclusive bracelet MANY thing were not included. Wanted a compari spritz? Nope Had to pay for that. Wanted tequila blanco shots? Nope had To pay extra, you Could only have repasado shots. Wanted a certain appetizer, salad, or entree at the restaurant? Nope there was a surcharge. For someone staying in a two bedroom oceanfront villa with a VIP All inclusive access bracelet, I can tell you I would not return and have never been so Nickeled and dimed like that for an “all inclusive” plan.

Beautiful view and beach. Rooms we had were great and loved it. Close stores and malls to walk to as well and free shuttle to neighboring resort. Our host Lesley went out of her way to give information and make reservations for us. Even when she was not at work she was still helping us. I would stay here again and if I go back to Cancun we will stay there again for sure. Nicest resort Iv ever stayed at. The only issue we had was with the all inclusive stipulations with drinks. When you pay to have a beautiful view and want to stay on the outside balcony to enjoy the view it should not be a chore to get drinks to your room. Two beer each is not realistic and your fridge should be stocked with what you request. Or a six pack at a time would be nice. This was a complaint from other guests as well. Not just me. That was our only issue and suggestion to correct.

About hotel : All the staff were professional, clean and polite, the hotel is very beautiful and the rooms are clean But about Expedia:didn't explain much about the regular room and that's why we had to pay more for the room with view the ocean "Royal Suite", for two people this extra cost was about $400 however for us if the regular rooms were also the ocean view and for us It was enough . If was more explanations about this rooms , were given on the Expedia website, we would have chosen it royal suit with extra payment

I was concerned about losing Capt’s Cove and La Conquistador as dining options but the new Bistro did a great job of minimizing those concerns. The ambience of the waterfront dining at CCove will be missed, however. The service level of the staff is what makes this place so outstanding and it is still there.

We truly enjoyed our stay. We shutdown and relax and the Royal Sands provides the setting. The buffet is really good for breakfast and lunch but dinner is meh. There are other dining options, but we do not want to have to make reservations and be on any time schedules so we just stick with the buffet which was our choice. It's not terrible, but dinners are not fabulous.
