The Royal Sands in Cancun is our "Home Away from Home". They make us feel very Welcome and at home there. - Our Concierge at the Royal Sands in Cancun tells us of new things going on in Cancun, makes arrangements for us, and Reservations at Great places. The Sands Resort is Beautiful and we see a lot of the same people there from year to year--so it feels like "Home". We go back every year.

This was a great experience and I based... - <p>This was a great experience and I based our high review in bases of whats to be expected, cost and most of all the great service! We were sent reminder by email night before to meet at our lobby and pick up was great on time great vehicle and lucky enough we were the only ones on tour. Being family of 4, 2 boys with us ages 4 and 9. I believe we had Victor as our guide. He was incredible. Very young but knowledgeable and great attitude, enjoyed our conversations with him. The driver was fantastic too. We loved visiting El Meco all to ourselves. Great opportunity to see ruins close to where we were without taking kids for 2 hour drive first. They were fantastic and he answered all our questions and gave us history accurately too as I read up on stuff before going. We went through town and he explained the daily lives to average folk and show us markets etc. Playa de Carmen was a nice area to walk around and get some souvenirs as well as some pictures. Pretty area. All and all it was a good tour a great option to get out of resorts for some time and would highly recommend the company for great service and staff.</p>

This was a great tour. We started with... - <p>This was a great tour. We started with a trip to the El Embarcadero where we took pictures at the CANCUN letters. We then visited the El Meco Ruins. We then visited a silver manufacturer and retailer where wife got a great deal, or so she says. We traveled to Puerto Morelos where we took pictures and walked along the beach. I wish we could have stayed here longer. We then rode to Playa del Carmen and spent two hours shopping and dining. Admittedly, the shopping here was better than any other place we visited. We then returned for a through the Hotel Zone and a tequila tasting tour. From there, we were returned to our hotel.</p>

This was NOT GOOD. - This was such a disappointment. There were 8 of us (mom, dad, adult children, adult girlfriends and one teenager). We were picked up late, about 30mins. So late that I called the main office to see if I had the wrong time. Finally picked up in a private van. Very nice vehicle and had great A/C so that accounts for one of their stars. First stop was this “Tequila Factory”. What a joke. It’s walking through someone’s backyard with big posters, showing parts of the process to make their “tequila”. Then you go inside this house for the tasting. It tasted so sweet and so smooth. They had so many flavors and I was duped- only after purchasing two bottles at $50each do I get it home and clearly see the label. It doesn’t say TEQUILA because it’s not. It has only 14% alcohol. It is just a flavored liqueur. Now it makes sense why once I decided on the coconut and mango “tequila”, they grabbed the bottles and took it to another table to quickly put it in cardboard and tape it all up making the label not visible. We were escorted around the side of the building where the nice old lady made us some pork street tacos. I was sick for three days after that. We drove to one souvenir store at Mercado 28, that had EVERYTHING, but who wants to shop at the first store you go to. I expected little markets, haggling with the lady selling her wares, lots of choices and options. Nope. Little did I know, that was going to be the ONLY store. I had to buy some souvenirs at the flipping airport! We drove to a beach where the famous CANCUN sign is. We were told if we wanted to get out and stand in line for a picture we can, but the line was too long so they’d have to circle around a few times to find parking or we could just go back to the hotel. We went back to the resort early. The driver never spoke to us and the “guide” was not much of a sightseeing guide. I wanted him to explain, talk, tell us something about what we were passing on the road. When they first picked us up he said, “let me know if you have any questions”. I didn’t know that meant because he was going to be SILENT THE ENTIRE RIDE! He seemed nice enough. When I did think of a question to ask, he did answer it- which accounts for the second star 🙁. As I said, we were one family of eight, and we paid $720 total. SOOOOO NOT worth it. Find another tour. This one is not good.

Disappointed - Book this tour. It was cancelled day of at 6 am via email. I was suppose to be picked up at 8:10. I was looking forward to this. I could've planned something else but now no tour in Cancun. I have yet to see my card refunded for the amount of cancelled tour even though I have emailed as well as called and was told I would be
