Yes, there is a sales shuttle to Royal hacendies from Cancun; uncertain about Playa
Hi Tuggers;
I know this will not answer your question directly, but
We were at VCI (Vacation Club Internacional) last week; this is a sister
resort to the Royal Sands, etc.
While there, I took the timeshare tour of the Royal Sands and saw the show
suite in Phase 2. It was beautiful; although there is no kitchen in the lock-off
which I found surprising. Also, my husband wasn't in attendance, so it was more of a "courtesy tour" as opposed to a sales tour.
however, Christie did say the new units at the Royal Haciendas do have
kitchens in the lock-off suites.
When I asked about seeing the newest resort, she said Yes, there are shuittles which go everyday at 9am, 9:30 am, 10 am. They are free.
(Something to keep in mind....these are operated by the Sales Staff, so
you will probably get a sales pitch; but it would be worth it, in my opinion)
HOWEVER, these shuttles leave from Royal Sands in CANCUN to Royal Hacendias outside of Playa del Carmen.
Now, as to shuttles at the new Royal hacendies, you would definitely need
them if you didn't have a car. From our calculations, it is something like
3 or 4 miles to Playa del Carmen. Much too far to walk; especially in the heat.
Soooooo, definitely, I would try to get something in writing about a shuttle
service from the Royal haciendas to to town of Playa del Carmen.
Maybe another Tugger has a more accurate distance of this newest resort;
but you would be much happier with a car.
By the way, my sister loves Playa del Carmen; it is more relaxed and laid back; more like a Mexican village. But I preferred the 'big city' of Cancun.
But really, it's just a matter of personal preference, cause they are both
wonderful.
Regards,
Patricia
ps I thought some Tuggers had said the pool at the Royal Sands was heated..... sure didn't seem that way to us !!! We found it on the cool
side.
