My stay at the Royal Islander was excellent! My advice is don't buy a Volkswagen as a substitute for a BMW or Mercedes. The RI is a clean, well kept hotel property. I would rate give this property 3 starts out of 5! An excellent 3 star hotel at that. If your expectation is a 5 star hotel, that's it's... more

If you expect 3, 4, or 5 star accomodations, this is certainly not the place for you. The only reason I didn't give it a 1 star is because the room and bathroom was relatively clean and tidy when we arrived. I went during spring break and the company we booked the hotel through tried to comfort us by sadly... more

We booked a cruise on with Discovery Cruise Line and learned that The Royal Islander is recommended by the cruise. I then looked it up here on Trip Advisor. I read the mixed reviews and was very nervous to book my stay. We went in and were expecting the worst but we were so HAPPY once we got there. When... more

This was truly a five star resort. There are 4 sister hotels and a complementary shuttle runs between all of them. The customer service is above and beyond expectation. You won't be disappointed if you choose to stay at one of the Royal hotels. more

The people were very friendly. We met some wonderful people from all over. We highly recommend the Bonfire............super fun!!!! and if you go buy a picture from Jay... more

I was a bit skeptical about the Royal Islander after reading some of the reviews, but now I've been able to form my own opinions. Check-in was delayed for us because we had an entire family in front of us that was staying for a family reunion, so I can't time that one. Once we got in, the rooms were... more
