Activities

Most of our activities are complimentary. Others have a small charge only to cover the cost of materials.

The Royal Marina is located right across the street from The Royal Sands. We offer complimentary sailing lessons as well as free use of the sunfish sailboats (one hour per day per villa). You can reserve sailboats at the Sports Desk. On Fridays at 11:30 a.m. join us for our exciting regatta.

Diving is very popular among our members and guests. Solo Buceo, located at the Sports Desk offers scuba diving trips, PADI lessons and certification. Scuba diving demos are offered free of charge from Sunday to Thursday at 12:00 p.m..

For those of you who do not know how to swim, we offer Beginners Swimming Classes for adults. Sign up at the sports desk a day in advance to set the place and time for the class. It's never too late to learn.

We also offer a full program for children. The different activities are organized by our staff members, however children must always be supervised by parents.

The Royal Channel is on the air 24 hours a day. Watch yourself enjoying your vacations at the Royal Resorts. You can view the programming on channels 5 and 17 of your T.V.

Our library is located at the Activities Center. In order to maintain a supply of books, we ask that when taking a book you leave one to replace it.

Villas

Spacious, comfortable and tastefully furnished, the two-bedroom, two-bathroom villas at The Royal Sands sleep up to six people. They have a fully equipped kitchen for self-catering and an expansive living and dining area.

The private terrace offers unfettered views of the Caribbean and is perfect for relaxing, sunbathing and dining al fresco.

The master bedroom has a king-size bed, a master bathroom and an independent door to the terrace. The lock off guest bedroom has a smaller balcony.

The innovative design of The Royal Sands villa gives you the option to occupy the whole villa for up to six people, the one-bedroom suite (master bedroom and bathroom, living area and kitchen) for up to four people, or the second bedroom for two. The separate entrances and double locking doors assure privacy for all occupants of the villa.
