Beach Restoration Advances at The Royal Mayan & The Royal CaribbeanPosted on Fri, Jan 08, 2010
The Beach Project crew has been working round the clock and we are pleased to report that they have now advanced to The Royal Caribbean. You can see the progress as you look at the most recent photos taken by the Royal Channel on January 7.
As work is underway at The Royal Caribbean and will continue at The Royal Islander, the beaches in front of the three resorts will remain closed for safety reasons until the authorities give the signal to reopen them. The floating tube through which sand is pumped from the dredger to the metal pipeline on the beach is currently located in front of The Royal Caribbean and is expected to remain there for several days, and diggers and other heavy vehicles continue to operate in the area. A temporary access to the beach has now been opened in front of Building M at The Royal Mayan. Additional updates will be published as we receive more information from the beach project coordinator.
According to the original calendar issued by the Mexican authorities in December 2009, the pipes and beach restoration vehicles were scheduled for removal at the three resorts on January 15 (estimated date, give or take one or two days).
The beaches to the north of The Royal Mayan are open and shuttle service to The Royal Sands is also available. Overall, the Cancún Beach Restoration project is now 77% complete.
Stay posted for a video and additional photos over the coming days.

Dear Don: Yes, the beaches have all been completely restored and the palapas have been reinstalled at all three resorts. The dredgers, heavy equipment and the pipes have all moved further south. Get ready to enjoy a wonderful vacation on Cancun’s beautiful new beach!

Is the beach restoration project totally completed at the Royal Islander, e.g. pipes gone and palapas installed? I’ll be arriving 1/23 for a 2-wwek stay. Up until last week we were getting great reports of the work in progress. Since then nothing has been posted. Thanks for the great past reporting. I look forward to my stay as always, especially with tnhe beach restored. Please keep us posted. Don

Very exciting! Thanks! Another question…will the volleyball net be up @the Mayan? We have a group of 14 who love volleyball and are hoping to play. Par

Dear Jody: Thank you for writing to Royal Resorts News. Beach restoration has now been completed at The Royal Mayan, The Royal Caribbean and The Royal Islander and there is access to the beach at all three resorts. The pipes are being dismantled at The Royal Islander but have yet to be removed from The Royal Caribbean and The Royal Mayan – we should have more news on this tomorrow. Palapas have already been reinstalled at The Royal Mayan and will continue at The Royal Caribbean tomorrow; shade umbrellas will be available at The Royal Islander until all restoration vehicles have moved out of the area. I hope that this helps and that you have a wonderful vacation on our beautiful new beach!
