Meet, May 2021
Pros (+) Royal Sands was very diligent with cleaning even while at the pool we will constantly see them cleaning chairs if someone left. They always asked us to use hand sanitizer before doing any thing. All staff wore masks at all times. Beds were very comfortable and the rooms were well kept. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. The thing we loved the most was the ability to go to the other Roya...
Cons (-) The room service could be very slow at times. Restaurants ran out of prime food items way too early. The beach had a lot of Sea weed due to strong waves which didn’t make for the most ideal situation. It was hard to keep track of what activities were happening where.

Pros (+) All the hotel services were pretty good! Nice food! Nice restaurants! Nice drinks! Perfect beach! Safety! Good location! Perfect all inclusive, with a lot of other good restaurants out of the hotel also included! Good rooms! Good attention for the customers!
Cons (-) The room service has to be improved! Even if you want just some bottles of water you will probably wait more than 45 minutes! They probably have just one person to deliver the orders on this huge hotel. At the first late night after arriving, with all the restaurants closed, i ordered some food and they spent more than 2 hours 30 mins to tell me that my order was already delivered when it was not!...

Pros (+) There is a choice of 3 restaurants in Cancun that can be booked for dinner. They are ok, one of them very good.
Cons (-) Buffet food is uneatable. Besides the taste, my boyfriend got a food poisoning after the second meal.
