I have a friend who has a timeshare at this resort and was invited to go for the week of Oct. 11-18. I don't have experience staying at other resorts in the area, but Royal Islander was really great. Staff were very friendly and the accommodations were wonderful! The villas are spacious and clean with lots of storage and amenities... more

This timeshare resort is unlike any time shares I have stayed at and I've stayed at a number. Usually time shares provide very little service and interaction between guests and staff. At the Royal Islander we had our own personal concierge who made all our reservations, checked up on us every day and even brought us gifts. The entire staff... more

We enjoyed a one week stay at the resort Saturday to Saturday, Sept 27 to October 3rd 2008..and a resort it is! My sister in law booked this timeshare through Interval and asked us to come along, so we did. We booked airfare through Jetblue.com from JFK direct to Cancun. It was about $950 for the two of us roundtrip... more

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

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
