The Royal Sands Prepares for Beach RestorationPosted on Fri, Dec 11, 2009
On December 9, representatives of the Cancún Beach project met with Royal Resorts management and we are pleased to inform you that beach restoration work will take place at The Royal Sands between December 16 and 21.
Preparations begin at the resort on December 12 with the removal of the palapas, sun beds and any other obstructions on the beach in order for the 12-meter-long pipes to be assembled and heavy machinery moved into place. The tentative date for pumping to begin at The Royal Sands is December 16 and engineers hope to complete the 300 meters of beach the night of December 18. The sand will then be leveled and the pipes removed the night of December 21. Work will continue round the clock and during this time the area of beach being restored will also be cordoned off for safety reasons.
When asked about The Royal Mayan, The Royal Caribbean and The Royal Islander, a Cancún Beach project spokesman commented that they are located on the stretch of shoreline most affected by erosion (Le Meridien to The Royal Islander) and where the beach is currently at its narrowest. As a consequence, engineers expect work to take longer throughout this stage, and that is without taking into account the time spent moving the heavy machinery and pipes into place. The estimated dates for the 700 meters of beach from The Royal Mayan to The Royal Islander are January 6 to January 10 (night) for sand to be pumped from the dredgers and January 15 (night) for the pipes to be removed.
The aforementioned dates are tentative; the project spokesman commented that there may be a delay of one or two days, however, we are sure that you will agree that this is excellent news. Stay posted for further updates and photos as work takes place.

It was predicted that sand would begin to be pumped onto the beach at the R. Sands on Dec. 16. Did that happen, or was there a delay?

Dear Rhonda: Thank you for writing to Royal Resorts News. In response to your query, no, only a small stretch of coast in Playa del Carmen will be restored as part of the Beach Restoration project. The beach in front of The Royal Haciendas does not need restoration.

Dear Michele: Thank you for writing to Royal Resorts News. I believe that you are referring to the hotels owned by Real Resorts. We are Royal Resorts: The Royal Sands & Spa, The Royal Islander, The Royal Mayan, The Royal Caribbean and The Royal Cancun-Club Internacional de Cancun and The Royal Haciendas in the Riviera Maya.
The beach has already been restored in front of the resort you will be staying at but you need to contact Real Resorts for information on their property in Playa del Carmen.
I hope that this helps.

Dear Tom: Thank you for writing to Royal Resorts News. I am assuming that you will be staying at The Royal Sands. The information we received from Beach Restoration project engineers is that the beach in front of The Royal Sands will be cordoned off from December 16 (they expect to start pumping sand on the beach Dec 16 – 18) to December 21 when they will be removing the pipes. During the period when access is restricted at The Royal Sands, the nearest restored beach would be immediately to the north of the resort. I hope that this helps.

Dear Helene: The Beach Restoration project has been in the works for Cancún for many months now and will benefit the entire shoreline from Punta Cancun in the north to Punta Nizuc in the south. When work is complete you can expect a much wider beach all the way along the coast.
