The Cancun Hotel Zone rests on a slit of land bound by a lagoon and the turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea. Sunseekers crowd the white-sand beaches. At night, the action moves to the restaurants, clubs, and bars that line Boulevard Kukulcán, the area’s main artery. This road passes by the El Rey ruins, believed to be a king’s tomb.

"Royal Sands Hotel in Cancun - a little America"
We spent 1 night at the Royal Sands in preparation for an early morning flight. We'd spent the previous week in a beach hut. After a week of hot and humid temperatures, we welcomed the Royal Sands air conditioning. Swimming in the pool without being pummeled by the Caribbean surf was another great part of the hotel. The third great part was the friendliness […] and helpfulness of the staff. The hotel itself felt like a little America (my apologies to readers who aren't American.) It had shops, restaurants, grocery store, pharmacy, spa, and a doctor. The room even had a television with English-speaking programs. It would be possible to spend a week there without leaving the resort. This may be an attraction to some. But for me personally, I didn't like the inclusiveness of the hotel, as it was too far removed from the local area and people. I enjoyed the aircon and the pool and the staff, but felt too insulated from the rest of the world. I would stay there again if I had to spend the night in Cancun, but not for an extended stay. This is just a personal preference, though - it was a great place if you just want to lay in the sun and relax. I would recommend looking for other restaurants, though. We had two meals at the terrace restaurant. They were two of the most expensive meals of our trip, but the food was very average. I wouldn't eat there again, unless there were no other options. But the staff were brilliant! I rated the condition of our room at a '3' because there were also a few minor mechanical problems with our room. The refrigerator had an unpleasant whine and the bathtub stopper didn't work. We just lived with it, though, and didn't ask for help. I'm certain the staff would have done all they could to address the problems, if we'd told them, however. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great beach resort"
The hotel has a great view over the sea and has a large and nice swimming pool. You have directly access from the hotel to a beautiful beach with wonderful blue water. Waves can be a bit high sometimes but there are beach guards which keep you safe. There is a waiter going around at the beach taking orders. Rooms clean and beds comfortable. Internet […] free of charge. Will recommend this hotel if you are looking for a beach vacation. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
