We stayed at the Royal Islander for the second time. We had friends join us who had never been to Cancun, and they loved it. We loved it so much, we never left the resort! Our furthest excursion was down the hill to the Captain's Cove restaurant (we love their food quality and service), except for long walks on the... more

We spent 2 weeks in Cancun just following the Swine Flu scare. The 1st week we stayed at the Royal Mayan and the second at the Royal Islander. We have been to Cancun and stayed at the Royal Resorts many times (we own at the Royal Islander). The thing that makes these resorts special is the service that you get... more

I have to tell you , in all my previous trips to Cancun, I really enjoyed the Royal Islander, the staff was very hospitable and would go out of there way to make you feel like you were at home..We went to the Dies si sais de Septiembre ( September 16th. celebration) and love the show at that Royal Mayon... more

My wide and I stayed at the Royal Islander from Aug 22 - Aug 29, 2009. We loved it. Here are the highlights: The flight down from Newark to Cancun on Continental was fine.

Couldn't fault location (although the area of beach in front of the resort has been ripped apart by a hurricane, they are planning to dredge and make good - who needs it anyway, great free half hourly shuttle between the 3 clustered resorts (Islander, Caribbean & Mayan) to the Sands (10 mins) which has a great beach). A joy to... more

What can I say? The above title says it all. We loved this resort. It was immaculate, the staff was friendly and helpful. While we were at the Islander, we also visited the other four Royal resorts in Cancun. While all were nice, and the beach at the Royal Sands was the best, I would stay at the Islander again... more

I just felt the need to add to all the other wonderful reviews. The resort is immaculately clean and the staff were beyond accommodating. We had a two bedroom unit that overlooked the pool and the Caribbean. We could not have asked for a better view! Fish tacos from Pacos Tacos at the resort were great. The Thomas Moore desk... more

We stayed at the Royal Islander 6/6-6/13, were impressed with the staff attention to cleanliness and groundskeeping. Disappointed that the beach was unusable, but they have a free shuttle that goes to the other family resorts, and the beach at the Royal Sands was great. They also had transportation (free) to a sister resort in Playa Del Carmen, which was... more
