We have been long time visitors of the Royal Sands, even staying there the very first year it opened, long before it was an all-inclusive resort. We love the location, the friendly staff, and the weather, of course. Unfortunately since it has been taken over by Holiday Inn Vacations, we have noticed a decline in the food quality. We understand that is a necessary evil in order to keep up with the all inclusive package, and we are still overall pleased for the most part, and willing to go off-site for a few meals. But perhaps our biggest complaint is that unless you are a member, or willing to sit through a 90-minute timeshare meeting, it is nearly impossible to get a dinner reservation at the already limited restaurant options. We also noticed more items with surcharges on the menus. Another restaurant option instead of the big timeshare sales office being constructed might actually steer more people in the direction of purchasing.
