We originally booked two nights at the Royal Islander Resort La Plage at the beginning of our stay in St. Maarten, planning to switch to an all-inclusive resort across the street for the remaining four nights. But the moment we stepped into our room at the Royal Islander, we completely fell in love with it—and immediately canceled our other reservation to extend our stay here.
The hotel is beautifully maintained and very well equipped. The staff is incredibly friendly, professional, and always ready to help. The pool is large and clean, and the entire property feels peaceful and inviting. We are a family of four and stayed in a two-bedroom suite, which was so spacious and comfortable that we honestly felt like we could move in permanently!
The only downside we noticed was the food and water situation. It would be nice if breakfast were included, or at the very least, if complimentary bottled water were provided in the rooms. Thankfully, there’s a supermarket conveniently located just across the street, which came in very handy for picking up snacks, drinks, and breakfast items.
Overall, we had an amazing experience and would absolutely return. If you're looking for a relaxing, family-friendly place with great service and a beautiful setting, this is it.
