This is my fourth trip to Freeport and my fourth stay at the Royal Islander. As you may guess by the fact that I keep coming back here, I am well satisfied with the property. They are not on the beach and therefore have a better price and are quieter. There are a lot of kids in Freeport now for... More

This used to be in a busy section of town. But now, most everything is shutdown around it. Howere it is still a very nice clean place to stay is you don't want on the beach. You can get a taxi to where all the action is happening, I have stayed here twice and I would do it agian. More

I found the hotel to be clean, and the staff friendly. The location of the hotel is horrible. It is to far away from any of the attractions on the island, and the shuttle service to the beach does not run often enough. More

DO NOT STAY HERE. We were having an alright time on our spring break until one day we left for lunch and came back half an hour later to find that the maid had come and cleaned our rooms...and OPENED EVERY COMPARTMENT IN EVERY PIECE OF LUGGAGE WE HAD. $250 AND SEVERAL IPODS WERE STOLEN FROM OUR ROOMS. NO ONE... More

I will have to be fair in saying the service is perfect. Friendly helpful staff no attitudes and not rude. The rooms are clean and don't smell funny, there was no remotes for the tv, the plumbing was ... well .. somewhat functional, it was a safe place to stay. There is a restaurant in the lobby that had good... More

It was my forth time down there. Really nice hotel and staff. In front of the International Bazar, close to restaurants, drugstore, liquor store, gas station. They offer transportation to Xanadu Beach every days, almost every hour. They have a nice pool and Jacuzzi, a bar and restaurant. There's also some bars around the hotel where you can go by... More

Hotel: At first glance we were shocked - yes, coming from the Westin Diplomat to the Royal Islander was a major downgrade, but you adjust after 4 Rum 151 drinks and life is good again. The "restaurant" is only open for limited hours, but there's a burger king and KFC around the corner. The waitress there "her name escapes me"... More

This place isn't near the beach, but you shouldn't expect that for what this place costs... for me, in Jan., I got it for $58, after tax. It was convenient to the bazzar or market or whatever that place is called. There is a bar across the street that serves food. I was there to fish and basically just slept... More
