Dee3---we were also there in Nov week 44. Patience is a virtue!

Really!! We own 44 and 45, D429, at the Haciendas and 27 and 28 at the Sands. My husband and I were there with our 16 year old daughter and her friend. We love it there, and although patience is a virtue, we can hardly wait to return (with both girls, now 17). Perhaps we'll see each other then?

I would be interested in hearing from owners of week 12 or 13 at the RH, we own week 14, and would like to touch base with any week 12 or 13 owners.

My husband and I will be staying at the RH in Sept. 2007. Does anyone know how late Taxi's run from Playa to the RH. We want to be able to go out and have a few drinks, but we don't want to drive and I've heard it's a bit far to walk.

We have weeks 13 in D227 and also would like to know anyone that has 12 or 14. Also, if anyone has week 12 at the Royal Sands.

Go to the royalresorts website for lots of information and pictures of the Royal Haciendas. The lockoff studio at the Haciendas is similiar to the lockoffs at the Sands with the following improvements: the balcony is usable and has two chairs and a little table so you can actually sit out there, it has a granite counter topped kitchenette with a sink, microwave, toaster, mini refrigerator, dishes and silverware for two, and a lovely bathroom set up with granite counter, twin sinks, and bath with elaborate tile work. We own two weeks in November and stayed there the first time Nov 2006. Construction is ongoing, but in 2007 will be behind us, not the present "loop". The resort is quiet, beautiful beach with little waves. Same superior Royal Resorts quality and care by the employees.

I just want to make sure I am getting this right. We will be staying in a studio at the RH in Sept. On our confirmation it said there were no kitchen facilities. This lockoff is the one with two beds and no dining or living room areas? I'm just not sure whether to bring a cooler of some sort. If there's a fridge no worries.... but if not...

Hi,

I bought there but haven't been there yet. We were told and on there website it says that the lock off 2 person studio has a small fridge, kitchenette, 2 beds and a small table and chair to eat on. I'm pretty sure that table and chairs are on the balcony. The room also is supposed to have silverware. I suggest you visit there website since it's just fun to see and you'll learn exactly what to bring. Have fun. Kath

I am also scheduled to stay in the studio in Nov. I was questioning Jesus of Inventory and he told me that the room has a very small kitchenette with frig and microwave, sink and silverware - dishes for 2. Hope this helps. If you would like to contact him his e-mail is jreyess@royalresorts.com he is extremely helpful. Let me know how your stay was.

Hi, I have a question, everytime I look at the webcam or the resort photo's I almost never see anyone in the ocean and this has me worried that there's something wrong, like to much sea grasses or rocks to enjoy walking into the water. Can anyone tell me what it was like? Thanks. Kathleen

The beach in front of the main pool is where you can go snorkeling as it has coral in the water. If you go to the left of that area where phase 3 and 4 will be, the water is clear and coral free. We just came back and they had a large floating platform in the water there and it was very good swimming.

Connie, We have 14, can you provide an email address so we can communicate? Chris

We bought a week 16 villa in Phase II... I can't wait for next year! For those of you that own other Royal weeks, I'm interested in how the resort handles moving day between Playa and Cancun. Our second week is in Cancun at The Royal Caribbean.

Stacey -

Did you ever find out where you are going to be located at The Royal Mayan? I'm certain you'll love it there! Honestly, I think if this is your first trip to the area, you'll be very happy that you chose Cancun. The Royal Haciendas is beautiful, but still under construction. The Royal Mayan is so established and friendly - and you won't have the construction noise to deal with while you are there. Even though we bought at The Royal Haciendas, we enjoy our week at the Cancun properties way too much to ever sell or trade!!

Not yet, but I did put in the request to Jesus. I am pretty excited. Couldn't believe all the great reviews in redweek for the royal mayan.

I can't get the forum going there tho!!!

Thanks for checking!! We leave in two weeks. June 2nd.

Hello everyone. My husband and I just came back from a royal vacation. As I must say, we are also pround members at the Royal Haciendas. We spent the day there and fell in love. The place is awesome and no pictures you'll see will do justice. I was scare at first to own but now it's a great investment we ever made..... It's a must see!!!!! If anyone has any questions about the place, feel free to ask....

I heard the taxi's are all nighters.... It is a pretty far walk. They're supposed to have a fiery (on the water) from the Haciendas to the Playa pretty soon. I believe at no cost too!

Call the resorts, they have a DVD of the Royal Haciendas. I have one and shows all of the property and more.

Have fun on your trip, Stacey! You'll have to report on The Royal Mayan when you get back!

Congratulations, aliciag23!! We are also proud members at the Haciendas and at the Sands in Cancun. Yes, purchasing is very scary at first, but it's one that we have never regretted, and we've purchased 4 times!! We stayed at our Haciendas villa last November and loved it -- I'm looking forward to spending a day there when we're at the Sands this July. Again, congratulations and welcome to the Royal Resorts family!!

Thank you so much Dee3. I'm really looking forward to being part of this family. Who knows, maybe someday I will another addition to the family....:o)

Alicia G.

From what I've seen, most members end up owning more than one week at the Royals, so another addition to the family may very well be possible, aliciag23!!! From our experience, it takes a day or two to settle in to the vacation routine, and by the end of the week, it's starting to gear up to go home again. So one week is not enough!!! Besides, with the cost of airfare, staying the two weeks helps with that expense. Saturday morning on that transition day to the second week is so delightful! Most everyone else is all depressed as they're heading home, the beach and pool are empty, and you're in all the glory for staying on as vacation is only half way done. Once, with a bonus Royal week we stayed for 3 weeks -- we felt like Mexican citizens! We own 2 back to back weeks, two different times of year. Someday whenever we retire we can split the villas and stay for four weeks twice a year. I wonder if that would give us citizenship and voting rights -- lol!!!
