The wife and I stayed at the Royal Islander in Cancun. This resort was absolutely gorgeous, we had a 2 bedroom villa and it was more than big enough for the brother-in-law who tagged along. The wait staff was awesome, especially Juan at the bar outside of the Cayo Largo restaurant. There wasn't a drink he didn't know how to... more

We used points from our Disney Vacation Club membership to stay here in August 2008. We used Thomas Moore for transfers to and from the hotel and had no problems. If you travel to Cancun make sure you ignore all people in the airport trying to talk to you and go straight outside to meet your transportation. All of the... more

My husband and I brought our 3 children ages 12, 14 & 15 to the Islander for a week. I did alot of research on this site deciding which resort would be able to give my kids a little independence, yet be safe from a "Spring Break" atmosphere. This resort was a perfect choice. It is a 15 minute bus... more

Own a timeshare in Florida, exchanged through II for a week in Cancun at The Royal Islander. I e-mailed the Islander 2 weeks before my arrival and advised them I was celebrating my 15 year wedding annivesary, and inquired about a room upgrade. Was given a room on the 8th floor overlooking the pool area. Beautiful views of the ocean.... more

I am the type of person i needed to know every detail possible about the hotel before staying there. I literally read every review before i finally settled on ok ill try it. I went there and absolutely loved it. Though royal islander is the smallest of the couple it is ABSOLUTELY beautifullllll... we stayed in a normal room and... more

My husband and I exchanged our timeshare into the Royal Islander last week. What a wonderful vacation! The reviews are right on about this place. The service from everyone at the hotel is exceptional! Normally we shy away from the welcome parties as they are way to pushy on timeshare sales! Not this place. We went to three parties hosted... more

This was our first time to Cancun although several of our friends have been there many times. The Royal Islander was one of the resorts that was recommended. We were not disappointed! We were there seven days, the service and the people were fantastic. From the moment that we checked in until we left everything was great. We also visited... more

We stayed at the Islander for 10 days. Several items from other reviews deserve emphasis. Things are compartmentalized in that everyone has their own job and they try hard and do their jobs well. It was really helpful to be with some people who are experienced in the way of things there to guide us through the less obvious foibles... more

We just returned from the Royal Islander. We spent two weeks again this year and found that the excellence that is the hallmark of the Royal Resorts seems to only be surpassed each year we travel there. The rooms are immaculate, the food is superb (and we felt reasonably priced) and the pool area and grounds were very well maintained.... more
