Due to the cost of flying on the Saturday after Thanksgivings, we left on Friday the 23rd, at a savings of $250 a ticket. That savings X four travelers, well you do the math. In addition, the planes were ½ to ¾ full and not just on time, but early! We were scheduled to check in at the Royal Islander... more

We stayed at the Royal Islander Nov 10 -17th. It was a family vacation which included our 17, 13 and 5 year old. We decided to use the timeshare and were keeping our fingers crossed that there was enough to keep the kids busy since we were not staying at one of the inclusive resorts. After the first day, we... more

The Royal Islander was fantastic. Words could not describe the service we received as guests of the hotel. Everyone is assigned their very own personal concierge. Ours even came up to the room and helped us plan our week, he even made our reservations for us! The rooms are spacious and clean. The kitchen has all the amenities of home,... more

Just back from the Royal Islander…. Had a great trip. Six of us went (47, 45, 43, 20, 18, 12). We were first timers and so some of these things many of you already know.

The Islander, Mayan, and Caribbean are all within walking distance and are linked by... more

My husband, daughter, and another family stayed at the Royal Islander through my timeshare exchange with Interval International the week of May 21st.
