Restaurant Renovations

Restaurant renovations at The Royal Sands during the fall

We would like to inform you about some important restaurant renovations that are due to take place at The Royal Sands during the fall and which will be in progress during your upcoming vacation.

The renovations affect La Veranda Restaurant and Sidelines Sports Bar and are intended to modernize both spaces and enhance the dining experience for members and guests. Work has been carefully planned and scheduled so as to keep noise, disruption and inconvenience to a minimum.

It is important to note that the restaurant and bar will be open as usual during this time and will be offering their full menu service.

Renovation work begins in Week 35

The renovation project is scheduled to start on September 4 (Week 35) at both locations and will continue through October and November with the brand new designs finally being unveiled on December 22.

Work will take place in phases, during which specific areas will be partitioned off. The bulk of the demolition work is scheduled for Week 35 and during Week 40, which is The Royal Sands Maintenance Week, October 7-14.

Week 35 members and guests staying in units on the floors above La Veranda and Sidelines will be relocated

We want all our members and guests to have a relaxing and enjoyable fall vacation at The Royal Sands while these renovations are being carried out. We realize that you may have concerns about possible noise disruption and we would like to reassure you that every arrangement is being made for your comfort. Week 35 members who are due to stay in a unit directly above La Veranda or Sidelines will be assigned a different unit in the resort. Relocation may also occur in other weeks when the possibility of noise disruption is greater due to the nature of the work being carried out. The Guest Services team will contact members prior to their vacation if this is likely to occur.

What do the renovations consist of?

La Veranda

A new ceiling, ceramic floor tiles, new lighting and artwork, white décor with accents of wood and pale green will give La Veranda a bright, contemporary look. Furniture will be reupholstered and the seating plan will be a mix of independent tables and booths. The buffet area, main entrance and outdoor terrace will also be renovated.

The show kitchen and grill, the back wall and the main entrance will be the first areas to be cordoned off. During this time access to the restaurant will be via the pool deck door.

Diners can also look forward to tempting new dishes on the menu in addition to their favorite choices when work is complete on December 11.

Sidelines Bar

Sidelines Sports Bar will also be remodeled in a modern industrial design. The kitchen will be expanded for more efficient and speedier food delivery. There will be a separate games area and a private lounge will be added for meetings, classes and other activities.

Other Fall Restaurant Renovations

The Gran Salon at Hacienda Sisal is being renovated to transform it into a brighter, more contemporary venue for weddings, parties, convention gatherings and other corporate and social events.

This renovation is taking place in the inner courtyard where the stage is, not in the restaurant. Hacienda Sisal Restaurant will be open daily as usual, 2 p.m. to 11 p.m.
