As usual, the Housekeeping department has done an excellent job with the Christmas decorations and lights at the resorts. This year, the festive display at The Royal Sands has an environmental message, as the glittering fish, turtles, sea horses and anemones on the Christmas tree and wall displays are made out of recycled materials such as plastic, aluminum, cardboard and wood. Clouds of colorful butterflies, also made from recycled materials, complement the traditional lights and ornaments at The Royal Cancun.
At The Royal Haciendas, members and guests joined staff for the traditional Christmas tree lighting ceremony on December 1. They were greeted with a welcome drink of ponche, a traditional Mexican Yuletide beverage made with fresh fruit, sugar cane and spices, and watched as the Riviera Maya’s largest Christmas tree was lit. As part of the event, an auction was organized to raise money for the Royal Resorts Foundation charity causes and it collected $10,125 pesos.
