I just love this place. We have owned one week for over 20 years here. it sits one of the most beautiful beaches on the whole island. Being next to the airport is definitely a plus, seeing the planes come in is almost a pleasurable as seeing the boats sail by. The pool and grounds are immaculate, as well as... More

As others have stated the airport is noisy but I would stay again. The view of the ocean from our balcony was fantastic. The room was clean. The showers are old and could stand to be retiled. The sheets also are flat sheets and don't stay on bed. But it was a great location snd the view was worth it

A friend gave us a time share week and booked this resort for us for 4/21-4/28. The resort is probably about a 3 1/2 star, not super fancy but everything you would need for a great getaway. The rooms are nice, updated appliances, clean, very comfortable, all with balconies overlooking the pool and sea. Definitely agree with previous reviewiers who've... More

We just got back from a wonderful stay at the Royal Islander. I, like many reviewers, was a little concerned about staying at this resort. DO NOT LISTEN to the negative comments. This resort has obviously had a face lift. The entire resort looks freshly painted. It’s clean, the staff is friendly, the accommodations (although somewhat dated) are very nice.... More

Great Vacation spot, no need to rent a car and the best dining in the caribbean is right there in Maho! The predominately time share resort is clean and well maintained but needs major updating. We have been going here for years and find that they replace just enough so that you don't complain to much! For instance, they randomly... More

We stayed at the Royal Islander Club in April 2012. After reading several reviews, we were concerned about what we would find. We, for the most part were pleasantly surprised! The rooms suited our needs more than adequately. We were upset to find ourselves on the first floor, after all the reviews said get a higher room on the Sonesta... More

We stayed at Royal Islander in April of 2011.. It was great.. Central location on Maho Bay & in Maho Village - perfect spot for watching the planes come in! Near the Sunset..which is a great place for some cheeseburgers, music and caribs.. Also in the middle of the shopping district and nightlife. The front desk was helpful and knowledgable... More

OK, there are folks out there like AdeeDoo who will rave about Royal Islander precisely because it sits just off the main runway of the airport. For everyone else, unless you are given this week, stay far away! We were let down by the Registry Collection (on an exchange) and chose to ignore the 'fair warning' re: noise for a... More

I've rated this Very Good because of its location and the factthat all rooms face the sea. The rooms are a bit dated and make sure you get a room on the Sonesta side or you will be up all night because of the street noise. Mullett Bay beach is a short walk away and there is a nice little... More
