I don’t think this is exclusive to the Royal Sands but every resort in Cancun. They’re much too massive. My room was switched halfway through my vacation and not all elevators lead to the same places so there was lots of getting lost and 25 min treks to said rooms. They claimed to have four restaurants but it’s one with a curtain that includes 2 of the rsvp ones. And the rsvp ones were not ‘available” because members had booked up the spots but when I peaked behind the comical curtain it was also empty. They sell you on a time share to become a member of their hotel club pretty early on with the lure of coupons if you’re in a couple and the presentation was about 90 mins. Also all inclusive is not truly all inclusive, you must have on your red wrist band showing people you aren’t a member at all times and your card key along with your crazy ass room number (P4613A) to eat or drink ANYTHING. It’s very annoying. The food was sad, I had 3 shrimp dishes that had hard overcooked fish and by the end we were leaving to the center of town for real food. Their better items are hidden behind a paywall. Regardless the staff was lovely and overworked, a white man was yelling to them about Tofu and it was rude. This (along with a lot of other resorts here) are catered to retirees or large families and I am neither. The swim up bar was nice. The seaweed made the ocean inaccessible but not their fault. 3/5

Food options very poor. Compared to other properties in Cancun, I would not recommend this place for its price and extra daily fees. It’s more like a place for a timeshare owner. Very outdated and noisy - the location is convenient but the overall experience is not all that great. Rooms outdated and poor quality. Would not recommend

I like Royal Cancún because it’s close to the hotel and large room for 5 family members with the grown ups. Tow rooms connected in the Villa were so big, with extra space and extra pull out bed for more than 4 adults with one kid. However, there were no bell men to carry our luggage and limited dining places, only bar, snack places. They only have a Mexican place where you have to walk outside of main building in the hot weather and another one was just buffet place where they changed the theme for every dinner. That was it for dinner. Also so much seaweed in front the hotel beach, impossible to swim in the ocean.
