The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Fantastic Dining Options

During my stay, I had the pleasure of dining at Hacienda Sisal, which was excellent. The ambiance was perfect, and the food was just delicious. On Sundays, they hosted a Super Bowl party with an amazing buffet that's definitely worth mentioning. I loved the diversity of the meals available, making it easy to satisfy everyone's taste. The dining experience elevated my vacation tremendously.

Great Kids Club Experience

I was absolutely delighted with the Kids Club at the Royal Sands. My children, aged 5, 7, and 9, had a blast! The activities were engaging, and the staff was fantastic with the kids. It provided us parents with time to relax while ensuring the kids were entertained in a safe environment. This helped make our family vacation stress-free and enjoyable!

Spacious & Comfortable Suites

I stayed in a Junior Suite with a amazing ocean view. The room was spacious, well-kept, and came equipped with a full kitchen, which was very convenient for my family. The balcony was perfect for enjoying the stunning views at any time of the day. I appreciated the attention to detail in maintaining a clean and modern living space throughout our stay.
