Management representatives and employees from the Front Desk, Concierge, Housekeeping, Security, Food &amp; Beverages, the Spa, Media and other departments also joined in the applause as members and guests alighted from their vans and cars and waited as bellboys sprayed their luggage before escorting them into the lobby for a welcome drink and check-in. At 3 p.m. at The Royal Sands and The Royal Islander, the Social Activities team thanked everyone for coming at a welcome cocktail on the pool deck where not even a heavy shower could dampen the happiness of members, guests or their hosts.<\/p>\n<p>At The Royal Haciendas in the Riviera Maya, staff also welcomed members and guests with our hallmark hospitality, joy and touches of Mexican tradition. Many were wearing sombreros and traditional dress and all greeted guests with the customary Yucatan gesture of the hand placed over the heart. There was music, streamers and clapping and in the lobby several of the housekeepers performed the traditional jarana dance from the Yucatan.<br \/>\nMembers and guests received welcome cocktails and cookies with Mexican icing in the lobby and were invited to a flower arch to have their photo taken with staff. The celebrations continued into the evening with the Mexican Fiesta and a mariachi serenade.<\/p>\n<p>See the June 13 video<\/p>\n<div  class='avia-video av-8matto-332e62106ae5a1a416f9af0a73c55fa8 avia-video-16-9 av-no-preview-image avia-video-load-always av-lazyload-immediate av-lazyload-video-embed'  itemprop=\"video\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"  data-original_url='https:\/\/vimeo.com\/432934438'><script type='text\/html' class='av-video-tmpl'><div class='avia-iframe-wrap'><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/432934438?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963&autoplay=0&loop=0&controls=1&muted=0\" width=\"1500\" height=\"844\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen\" allowfullscreen title=\"The Royal Sands Reopening\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/script><div class='av-click-to-play-overlay'><div class=\"avia_playpause_icon\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div  class='avia-video av-7s0akc-bced2754a1982d066ff1baa951965a9c avia-video-16-9 av-no-preview-image avia-video-load-always av-lazyload-immediate av-lazyload-video-embed'  itemprop=\"video\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"  data-original_url='https:\/\/vimeo.com\/432935178'><script type='text\/html' class='av-video-tmpl'><div class='avia-iframe-wrap'><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/432935178?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963&autoplay=0&loop=0&controls=1&muted=0\" width=\"636\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen\" allowfullscreen title=\"The Royal Haciendas Reopening Jun 13\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/script><div class='av-click-to-play-overlay'><div class=\"avia_playpause_icon\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<p><b>June 20 at The Royal Cancun<\/b><br \/>\nOn June 20, led by the Activities team, Management representatives and bellboys Jerem\u00edas and Reynaldo, a group of employees from different departments at The Royal Cancun welcomed members and guests with deafening applause, cheers, background mariachi music and dance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are so happy to be back,\u201d \u201cWe have been counting the days,\u201d \u201cWe have been looking forward to this so much, it\u2019s great to be here,\u201d are some of the words we heard from arriving members on both days.
