Our newest Cancun resort, The Royal Sands, opened its doors on February 5th, 2000 to rave reviews. It is located on the lot that formally was the site of Fonatur's Casa de Visitas (Guest House) popularly known as the Casa Maya (Mayan House). Over the years, many Presidents and other foreign dignitaries stayed at Casa Maya. The lobby at The Royal Sands is decorated with some of the original furnishings of the guest house. ![]()
