8/10 Very good

Nice Property, Average Food
The hotel and the rooms have been renovated. The beach is nice and no issues with availability for chairs. The food is very average, even in the à la carte restaurants. The buffet is very mediocre and to be avoided. I don’t think that the supplement for All Inclusive is worth it. There are many good and inexpensive restaurants within walking distance.

6/10 Good

Could be so much better for the price we paid
Pros: size of rooms. Ease of access to beach and pools. good beds. the water slides are good for small kids. Cons: Food is medium at best and sometimes just bad, and it doesn't matter if you are using the special resturantsor not. no real activities for kids. The extra activity we were reccomend to buy (dolphins in Isla Mujeres) was an 8 hour "trip" for 50 minutes of activity, and the rest of the time on the island felt like we were only there to be used as a walking credit card. though the activity was not by the hotel, it was recommended and coordinated by the staff and I would expect more honesty about it.

Great Spot!
The staff here is so helpful and friendly! I never felt pressured by time share sales and they assisted me in many different ways. The food was great, though we wished the Sidelines Bar was open during the day. Our weather wasn't great, so finding places during heavy rains was challenging. The flag reserve system for Beach and poolside chairs is competitive, but we did get nice spots each day. Transportation to and from the hotel, arranged through Thomas Moore system was great! Luz Hernandez did an exceptional job with our room care.

4/10 Fair

The royal sands was sold to holiday inn, the quality of the beer and food collapsed, we had 4 reservations and we decided to buy beer at the convenience store instead of what they had, even asking to pay for it they didn’t have choices. Elevators not working, some for more than 6 months there are 5 elevators 3 not working, service elevator 2. 1 out of service. Less personnel to assist near the pool We went there 2 years ago and like it, now “ WE WILL NOT BE BACK “ Closed the captains cove forever

The Royal Sands is always a great experience. This vacation was no exception. The only negative was one waiter Fansico in the Club Bistro our small party did not figure to provide as large of a tip and he made no effort to provide even the minimum amout if service. So unfortunate because the meal was outstanding in spite of Francisco.
