Great resort, I had a nice time. The hotel is a bit older style and not as modern, but it is very clean and kept in great condition. The staff everywhere is very friendly and accommodating. The suite room I had was very nice and spacious, I loved the big balcony and the view. The pools are also amazing, very big and spacious, heated water. There's a nice small water park too. The only thing is I wish they had more dining options/restaurants. There was only 1 buffet for lunch, and not really any other "full menu'd" restaurants. The food was decent but could be better. Quality was OK but I wish the selection was better. But overall I still had a fun time here.

4/10 Fair

it was a nice resort but the food was terrible sometimes the pasta was literally undercooked. the drinks tasted like water or like your drinking sparkling water when it’s suppose to be a mojito. and the taxi prices were insane. the line to check in was ridiculous we waited two hours without any beverage in the heat. the good things were that the staff was nice and helpful, the resort was clean and well put together, my kids loved the pools and the water park they had just built in but beside that everything else sucked.

The only thing I will recommend for future guest please avoid the guys with green shirts. They will pressure to buy timeshares. Other than that the hotel is nice and clean. Great location they had everything you need. Food wise was great I met my needs. All inclusive is the way to go.

Overall a wonderful family resort. Check-in staff, room service, house cleaners and restaurant service team members were helpful and friendly. The property has several large pools and is very close to the beach. The views are amazing! The pool bar staff on Royal Sands I were very, very slow. It’s a 30 minute process to order a beer (10 min wait, additional 10 min after you order, and another 10 minutes to get your room key back). If you ask for a mixed drink good luck, it could take another 10-15 mins. Not to mention the pool gets significantly murky later in the afternoon. The pool staff at Royal Sands II were amazing. Our bartender was Mario, I think he had only been there 6 months. We called him Super Mario. He mixed up a French 75, amazing Margarita and several other cocktails. This pool remained as clean in the afternoon as it was in the morning. Overall, a great resort with just a few areas to improve.

We like this property and have stayed here before. The issue with this most recent stay is that it’s a time share property and they made us change rooms after the first night to accommodate a time share holder. They said I should have been notified when booking but I was not notified until I received an email on the day of my arrival letting me know that I would not have to change rooms. In the end, we did have to change rooms and the whole process seemed chaotic and inconvenient. They need to be more clear about this policy, and they need to be more accommodating to guests who are not time share holders, because we are still paying guests. Lines at the reception desk were often quite long and there were always more employees helping the time share members than other customers. We do love the location but may consider staying elsewhere on our next visit.
