It was overall a super nice place; however the all inclusive package was not like other resorts. Most alcoholic drinks and food items on the menu had an upcharge in order to get them. The outdoor bars closed at 530pm which was fairly early.

Apparently this is a time share property. We were not aware of that. The nice thing is there is no pressure to buy in but you have to change rooms if you arrive on certain days which was very inconvenient. Everything and everywhere requires you to use your room key. Even towels u need to check them out and check them in otherwise there is fee for unreturned towels. This takes away from the relaxation of being on vacation. Food was average. Room service takes a minimum of 1hr 30min. Service at pool was good and prompt. Turn down service was good daily. Be ready for surcharges on things bc not everything is part of all inclusive. Always check your bill before you sign it. There has been few mistakes. But all adds up. We were upgraded as part of Expedia VIP to ocean front which was nice. The grounds are nice and clean. Overall, 6.5 out 10

In my opinion since holiday inn took over this property it has gone down hill. The food selection is limited now and what was once an all inclusive has changed. There are surcharges for many things now have been coming to the royal sands for many years but I think I will try another hotel on my next trip here.

I like that is very closed to public transportation. They could definitely work on their customer service at check in, we were not told of the services they had nor that we had a dedicated concierge. I was told that I wasn’t going to move to a different room I was moved!! In my opinion the resort is more for retirees than for families, there is no music or events after 8:00 PM.

We had a party of 6 all with varying vacation requirements. The resort met all of our needs from plenty of lounge chairs (both beach and pool side), to activities, to food choices. The best part of the resort was the staff, everywhere within the resort the hospitality and service was impeccable. The worst was the entitlement and general rudeness exhibited by some of the guests. The resort is definitely family oriented so if you're more interested in a romantic couple's get away, keep that in mind. As a party of 6, it was not an issue for us.

It was a very nice stay. We really enjoyed the great attentiveness and hospitality provided to us by all members of the staff. We really felt at home and cared for. One suggestion would be to perhaps have smart TVs in the rooms for a better experience when winding down. Other than that an excellent place and we will for sure be coming back!
