We have stayed at the Royal Islander since 1999, and it has maintained the excellence. The villas are well-appointed, cleaned 6 days a week, and the entire staff is top notch. The Islander is adjoins the Royal Caribbean and the Royal Mayan, so there are 3 pools, a large excellent beach with palapas and lounge chairs, and food and beverage... More

On our way home to Michigan from a week at the Islander. As usual the service was spectacular. Happy hour at 3 and Cayo Largo for dinner.

The beach was clean generally, but towards the end of the trip, due to a storm,... More

I just returned from another visit to the Royal Islander in Cancun. I have lost count of the number of times I have vacationed at this resort. I consider it a refuge whenever I need a break from the day-to-day. It is great for families and friends and it is also terrific if you are traveling alone. Everything is meticulously... More
