Real Resorts' Two Cancun Hotels Stand Out as the 'Best of Best' for Beautiful & Clean Beaches

The recognition was presented during the 7th Annual Clean Beach Conference held in Mazatlan and organized by the Mexican Federal Government, the National Water Commission (Conagua), the National Environment and Natural Resources Ministry (Semarnat), the Ministry of Tourism (Sectur) and Ministry of Health.

Because of the beauty of all of the Riviera Maya's beaches, this recognition is only awarded to those who go above and beyond normal stewardship and adhere to the strictest guidelines including the following criteria:

    --  Absolutely no trash on the sand, even a few small pieces of paper will
        disqualify a beach.
    --  Appropriate signage on the beach indicating resort services and
        information.
    --  The water must be clean and ecologically correct without any signs of
        pollution.
    --  The resort that maintains the beach must practice sustainability
        including waste separation and other green initiatives
    --  Beaches must have trained life guards, warning flags indicating surf
        condition, and security
    --  The resort must demonstrate best practices to protect the natural
        wildlife including pelicans, seagulls, and sea turtles.  Real Resorts
        has an extensive sea turtle protection program.

Real Resorts has worked diligently to achieve this recognition which is one of the highest accolades in Mexico. It assures guests that they are enjoying the most beautiful and highest quality beach experience with the cleanest sand and water while protecting the environment and respecting the natural habitat.

THE ROYAL in Cancun is also the recipient of the Green Diamond recognition for its commitment to ecology and the environment. The recognition is awarded by The American Academy of Hospitality Sciences to select five star leading hospitality luxury hotels that exceed a selection of criteria for superior facilities and service.
