You’ve all watched the noisy black birds that boldly strut around the pool area and squabble among themselves as they steal food from plates waiting to be removed from restaurant terraces. Known as great grackles (zanate in Spanish or pich in Maya), these gregarious birds are so abundant that they have become pests in many resorts, including Royal Resorts. Any number of scarecrows have been tried in the past, including life-size model owls, but the birds keep coming back. Not any more. At The Royal Haciendas falconry is being used to scare the birds away.

In recent months there have been several incidents involving members and guests who have registered their pets as emotional support or anxiety control animals. Please be advised that Royal Resorts does not accept pets under any circumstances unless they are medically certified service animals (i.e. guide dogs or animals specifically trained to aid a disabled person). The ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) definition of “service animals” is used.
