My stay at The Royal Islander was a mix of great moments and a few disappointments. The spacious suites with lovely ocean views were perfect for my family, and the pool area was beautifully maintained. On the downside, some amenities felt outdated and I had to change rooms midway through my trip, which added a bit of hassle.

My week-long stay at The Royal Islander was fantastic, primarily thanks to the beautiful ocean view from our two-bedroom villa and the really good service from the staff. While some amenities felt slightly dated, the overall cleanliness and the excellent food made up for any minor issues. I felt safe with the health measures in place, although the room change policy was a bit inconvenient.
