Overview

Lots of amenities available in the all-inclusive package
Finding off-site entertainment requires a trek
The Royal Sands features single rooms, along with one- and two-bedroom suites. All accommodations offer minifridges, coffee makers and balconies, but if you're traveling with the entire family in tow, spring for a two-bedroom suite, which comes with a fully equipped kitchen, living area and dining room. This property is located in the middle of the coveted Hotel Zone, Cancun's popular nightlife and dining area. But you should be able to find some suitable grub at the on-site eateries that serve everything from seafood to traditional Mexican fare – meals at these restaurants are covered by the resort's all-inclusive package rate. Also included in your room fee: 24-hour room service, access to the hotel's pools (including a children's pool), tennis courts, a fitness center and use of leisure equipment like snorkeling gear and bicycles. While many recent visitors enjoyed the resort's amenities, many say the property's enviable location and first-rate service are the key selling points for choosing to stay here.
