Le cadre est vraiment magnifique, la plage et la piscine sont très bien. la localisation est parfaite. Egalement le calme de l'hôtel est appréciable
Le manque de courtoisie du ramasseur de transat de la plage. l'heure d'ouverture de la piscine. Dans le logement les odeurs de cuisson de la cuisine arrivent par la clim dans la chambre. et le logement n'est pas assez ventilé
Emplacement propreté idéal pour un séjour proximité de tout
L emplacement au coeur de Maho
La clim qui fait énormément de bruit dans la chambre et dans le salon et pas possible de la regler. Pas de café dans les chambres.

Location was great close by restaurants. Airport close with view of planes landing.
Pool depth markings were not observed.
The location was perfect with a wide variety of restaurants and bars. The room we had was amazing as we were able to see planes land and take off. Loved the proximity to the airport and all that goes with that in St. Maarten.
The staff are very descent and helpful, the activities hosted by the animator is top tier 👌
2nd time there! Place is awesome! Location is awesome!
Booked this place but flight didn’t work out. Paid Wed-Sun. Flight was Thurs-Sun. It was non-refundable BUT I messaged the property and they said it no problem BUT I need to make the change through booking.com. When I did the hotel refused to make the change and charged me full price. It was my fault so I was ok with it! BUT the hotel jerking be around and telling me it was ok but do it through the company then telling me no was an ANNOYING waste of time! I still can’t say anything bad about the property or employees. They are all super helpful, welcoming and friendly! Jarule is STILL our favorite!
Property needs updating
Allgemein war alles zufrieden stellend
Playa maravillosa. Rica piscina
Nadie hablaba una gota de español
Lo cerca al aeropuerto, el restaurante Tortuga que está justo al lado del mar.
Habitación se ve ya vieja, el área de cocina electrodomésticos viejos
Everything about this property was great! The staff is super friendly and helpful. The location is amazing - right next to Maho beach and a short taxi ride to the airport. Plus there’s a lot to do around the property that is easy to walk to, like a casino and shops and restaurants.

Hotel charged me twice for my stay, i have called and emailed them multiple times and noone ever calls me back or seems to care. They just took my money (twice) and refuse to answer any requests for a refund or why they even charged me twice
El hotel tiene la ubicacion perfecta, cuenta con playa privada, estabal lado de la pista de aviones por lo que podíamos ir a verlos pasar y aterrizar, cuenta con mercadeo al frente, restaurantes. La habitación es muy grande, cómoda, bien dotada con mas de lo necesario. Tiene piscina y una vista hermosa. 10 de 10
La zona de piscina no tenia baños, ni bar, aunque solo pasamos un dia en el hotel. Hace mucha falta. Dicen que tienen parqueadero, pero no es dentro del hotel toca caminar para dejar el carro y recogerlo, cuesta 8 dólares la noche, no esta incluida en la tarifa.
La ubicación es estratégica, frente a la playa, cerca del aeropuerto, frente a un supermercado y restaurantes. Se disfruta el paso de los aviones.
Tiene sus años. La presión de la ducha y la iluminación no era la mejor.
My review is on Nina Persaud. Nina has always been warm , kind , and helpful. Whenever I have encountered a problem with my rooms, towels , money , absolutely anything, Nina is always the first person that I go to, and she goes right to work to solve my issue. I am proud to call her my friend!
I just returned from the Royal Islander La Plage. I can’t say enough of how the staff is so friendly and helpful especially their manager Nina. She greats almost everyone by their name, which means more like family than just a guest. The units are very clean and well kept. The grounds are beautiful and the beach is just steps from your room. With a multiple of restaurants right outside the resort it is a perfect location. I will be returning in the summer and look forward to another wonderful. Vacation.
Közel a reptér
Gyerekeseknek egyáltalán nem ajánlom. Csak egy éjszakát voltunk atutazóban szerencsére. Rendkívül zajos szállás. Az utcáról mimden is felhallatszik ( motorosok, zene, útépítés, repülők). Semmi nem volt bekészítve, nem volt elég törölköző, külön kellett kérni a gyerekeknek ágyneműt, kiságyat. Kopottas szoba. A légkondicionálót nem lehet kikapcsolni, csak a hőmérséklet állítható, rendkívül hangosan és erősen kapcsol be kb 20 percenként.
We have been coming to the Royal Islander for over 30 years. The island has changed so much over that time, but our experience at La Plage has not. The energy and bustle of the Maho strip fades away as you enter the resort and your sandals click on the cool marble floors. The feeling is the same as it was so long ago, elegant, peaceful, and timeless relaxation. The staff are familiar faces and always professional and friendly. Our experience this past November was made all the more special by the care and attention to small details that Nina and her team put towards our stay. I planned the trip as a surprise for my wife’s birthday and they made sure it was perfect. No need went unmet, and it was yet another trip that we will remember forever. There’s so much to see and do on the island, but it’s hard to leave La Plage when it’s already paradise.
La chambre est spacieuse et les équipements corrects.
Ce serait bien de mettre à disposition une bouteille d'eau à l'arrivée ainsi que du café ou thé. Vu la cuisine bien équipée c'est un petit plus pour les clients puisque le petit déjeuner n'est pas compris.
Niets
Bijna alles! Veel te duur voor wat je krijgt , gehorig , oud, tijd voor renovatie of sloop.
This is our 27th visit here. From the time we get home we are already counting down the days to return for our next vacation. Nina and Kalisha always go out of their way to accommodate the guests. Everyone gives 100% from the front desk, security guards, housekeeping who do an excellent job of cleaning the units to the groundskeepers, the gentlemen that clean the pool and Monica at the towel hut. Thank you all for what you do. Kemeshia at the lobby bar is a joy. Serving whatever you desire in the morning. She always greets you with a smile and such a pleasure to talk to. J at the lobby bar at night is a lot of fun to spend time with and enjoy a cocktail. The units are immaculate and all of the staff are amazing. Thanks to all the maintenance men that can fix anything. They are awesome. We are so happy we found this little piece of heaven. Thank you to all of you for what you do. There is also a fantastic restaurant on site called Tortuga on site. The grocery store is right across the street as well as the casino and many restaurants within walking distance. See you soon.

A localização é excelente
O check-out é muito cedo às 10h da manhã.
Well-maintained rooms, pool and grounds although showing some signs of age. Primarily time-share condo units. Great location next to Maho beach where the planes coming in low overhead. Good sand beach. Very helpful staff.
We enjoyed having access to both pool and ocean for swimming. There were lots of loungers and shade from both trees and umbrellas. Staff were very kind, helpful and accommodating - we were travelling with a baby and they allowed early check in.
It’s in a very busy area with both street noise and constant airport noise. We spent a week in lovely quiet Orient Bay prior to checking in for one night and the noise made it hard to relax.
Stayed here 2 years on a row. Great location and big rooms but need updating. It’s like an apartment. Maho market across the street and plenty of restaurants within walking distance. Pool and hot tub are great. If you rent a car you can pack in the garage across the street.
The staff at the facility was extremely helpful and friendly! Ms. Jenel at the reception desk was a pleasure to speak with each day. Her presence alone is causing me to think about returning to Royal Islander more than any other facility!
My only disappointment was that there was no sharing of facilities usage between La Plage & Le Terrasse.
I've been going to the Royal Islander Laplage for over 35 years. This last stay was tricky as we had 2 other couples joining us and there were a lot of moving parts room wise. Without Jenel C's help at the front desk I would've had a rotten vacation! Thank you again my friend (and Nina)! See you in August. Jim S
This has been our 15th time staying here. On this trip my daughter left her expensive diamond earrings on the bathroom counter when we left. When we got to Anguilla she was very upset. I went to email the resort and had already received an email from them that they were turned in by Housekeeping (along with my son's shirt). The resort is always immaculate. They have been doing it the same way for over 40 years and the members/guests love it. That is why it has stood the test of time! If that means "dated" then we are okay with that. Thanks to the Staff for their hospitality and honestly. Much appreciated!
The person at check-in was unfriendly and unhelpful. We did not get the room we paid for. There are no people or carts available to help with luggage. The drinks were good and the bartender actually had a personality. Service at the restaurant was very slow and the food was mediocre. The room was very dated. There was no coffee available in the room or on the resort before the restaurant opened at 8:00. I highly recommend you avoid this pathetic resort.
We are fortunate enough to be spending eight weeks at the Royal Islander this year. We are here now and as usual Nina, Kalisha, Janelle, and all the staff provide top quality surface to us. I can say nothing bad in fact, quite the contrary. The water is beautiful. The beach has come back. The Tortuga restaurant is always great Service don’t hesitate to come. You won’t be disappointed.
The Royal Islander La Plage was a perfect match for our trip this year. The 1 st week we brought our grandson with his significant girl friend. This resort is perfect for us as we have been going to La Plage for many years. While taking our grandson to the airport he commented that when they return to the Island in the future they will definitely stay at La Plage. Saying the room was perfect (2 bedroom), they commented on how friendly everyone is and how wonderful the views were from the room. The entire Maho area gave them plenty to do on their own. We also saw that we had a small water leek at 9:30pm, called maintenance and they were at our door within 10 minutes, fixed the problem in 20 minutes. Very friendly maintenance m an.
Kalisia at the front desk was very helpful...
Staff very accamadative and helpful.
Location is great with a nice beach on your doorstep. Good wifi, beds and televisions.
Felt a bit «vintage» - needs modernization in near future.
Location and staff
Absolutely horrible…changed rooms multiple times and then told to leave when the Caribbean became a no fly zone…no service…dirty and smelly and moldy smelling rooms where nothing works…you can do a whole lot better elsewhere
We had an amazing stay at this hotel in Saint Martin and enjoyed the entire experience. The service was great from start to finish, and Sherma went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. A special shoutout to Sherma at the front desk, who was absolutely exceptional—she made our stay seamless and memorable from beginning to end. The hotel was very clean, the food was good, and the location was perfect with stunning surroundings and easy access to everything. The view from our balcony was absolutely beautiful and made our stay even more special. Overall, it was an incredible experience, and we would definitely come back. recommend!
We recently returned from our four week stay at Royal Islander. We cannot say enough about the caring, courteous and wonderful front desk staff who always went above and beyond in making our stay so special and welcoming. A big shout out to all the groundskeepers for keeping the property looking so pristine. To housekeeping and security personnel we appreciate you!! A big thank you to Nina who always makes us feel at home. We appreciate you!! Her professionalism and expertise is definitely carried onto her staff. Royal Islander is our home away from home and we always look forward to returning every year.
We arrived planning to stay for 2 nights but within hours of arrival we extended to the full week. The staff at the hotel are charming and always in a very happy mood - especially Kalisha, Jenel C and Jenel R. Thank you lovely people! What was great as a family is that the hotel has great rooms for a family of 4 with separate bedroom, dining and sitting areas together with a fully equipped kitchen. There’s a great shop opposite for everything you need for meals in and a super restaurant with great location, food and views for meals out. Also lots of choice in the town. If you are a bit tired of massive all inclusive resorts trying to do everything for everyone then this is such a welcome change. Flexibility, quality, service and tranquility (only broken by the regular arrival of planes). We loved the plane spotting!
La vista sul mare e il giardino era impagabile: ogni tramonto era uno spettacolo. Comodo avere il lettino tra piscina e spiaggia - non tutte le localita' hanno una spiaggia, servita e cosi comoda. La posizione ottima, al centro di Maho, comodo per fare colazione nei locali fuori adiacenti e scegliere un ristorante diverso per ogni cena !
Scomodissimo il letto: dovrebbero cambiare i materassi !
The location is perfect. The atmosphere is s great vibe. The rooms all have a pretty amazing view. Valued well for as close to everything that it is. The front desk staff was great . Extra stars go out to Kalisha for sure for going above and beyond to make sure our stay was great.
This is a beautiful resort, well managed, great staff and a very positive overall experience. So yes, I recommend this resort!!
La posizione vicino all'aeroporto, la spiaggia, i servizi, tutto ottimo
Non ci sono molte prese della corrente vicino al letto. Il deumidificatore faceva un rumore assurdo, di notte abbiamo dovuto lasciarlo spento
WestJet cancel our flight and didn't offer us any accommodation. We have found this this resort the "Sherma" at the front desk went over and beyond to help us Very good customer service
We had a wonderful experience at this hotel. The staff are kind and friendly, and the location is perfect. We will return in the future
We recently returned from our 2 week stay at the Royal Islander, Club LaPlage, St Maarten. We have traveled to The Islander for the past 25 years and have never been disappointed. The entire staff at the resort is to be commended for their continuous service. The resort is always very well maintained, from the beautiful landscaping and grounds, to the pool and beach area, the Tortuga restaurant, the rooms and the general overall facilities. The entire resort staff can been seen working every day to insure everything is picture perfect. The resort is located in the heart of the Maho Beach area. The area is very safe with many shops, restaurants, a grocery store, and casino within a very easy walk from just outside the front door of the Royal Islander. Whether you want to travel the island or just stay local the Royal Islander is the perfect resort to do so. From just relaxing pool side or sitting on the adjacent beach while enjoying a cool drink and watching beautiful sunsets, the Islander has it all. A very special tip of the hat goes to Management staff lead by Nina and reserevations specialist Kalisha. Both go above and beyond to insure our stay is always perfect in every way.
De locatie is top, zoveel verschillende eetopties op loopafstand of bij het hotel zelf. Ik heb geen gebruik gemaakt van hun ontbijt, maar was vaak bij de zaak Papaya's aan de overkant van de straat.
De badkamers zouden we wel mogen updaten. Ik kreeg er een beetje 90s vibe bij, zouden best kunnen updaten naar een meer modern hedendaagse inrichting, vooral een douchegordijn ben ik zelf ook niet een voorstander van.
The location was great . On sight resturant was excellent .. the Tortuga. Small quaint bar in the lobby for the evening night cap. Amazing pool. On the ocean . Watch the planes arrive!!! Very friendly staff. Large suites , very clean! . Casino across the street…the Roma and the OPA , Greek resturant are very good.. we plan on returning!!
I always have the absolute best experience here! From the food, the rooms to the service, everything is a 10! Jenel at the front desk is the best and one of the reasons I continue to return. Great customer service is not always easy to find but I’ve hit the jackpot here. If you’re considering this property, look no further than. You will be extremely happy.
Fabulous staff. Beautiful location. Everything provided that was needed.
Nothing we did not like!
My wife and I spent a wonderful week at the Royal Islander Club La Plage to celebrate our 43rd wedding anniversary. The property is immaculate and the staff is great. We will be returning in the future.
With the beach right there, a large pool, a tasty restaurant and the city right at you r driveway I don't think it gets much better. Lots of safety, room cleaning was great-- plenty of towels, bath soaps and shampoos and lotions-- and staff pleasant. Book exchange is inside the towel outlet. This is my favorite St Maarten location-- can get to Cupecoy Beach ( clothing optional) walking or inexpensive city bus, to Mullet Bay Beach, to Maho or even Simpson Bay Beach easily and there are several grocery stores, shopping, restaurants and casinos at your doorstop.
St. Maarten is one of my favorite Caribbean islands—I visit 3–4 times a year—and the Royal Islander Club at La Plage has become my go-to stay. The hotel is amazing, super clean, and perfectly located just minutes from my favorite beach, Mullet Bay. The staff makes the experience even better. Sherma at the front desk is incredible, and the bartenders are always friendly and fun. If you’re heading to St. Maarten and want comfort, great service, and the best location, this is the spot. I’ll definitely be back!
We booked to stay here way back towards the end of last, expecting far more than what we experienced. We expected the sort of facilities one might expect of a high class hotel. However, this was not to be! Whilst the accommodation was acceptable and the staff extremely friendly and welcoming, the lack of facilities was a disappointment. This is a time share complex, which rents out empty suites to casual travellers. Whilst the suites are generous in size, but lacking in ambience, there weren’t even basic materials such as washing up liquids, etc, or brooms to sweep up sand, etc. There’s no restaurant attached, which means no breakfast is included or available - which we expected. You have to go outside for meals and even light snacks! The bar - such as it is - lacks atmosphere, comfort and offered only a very basic range of drinks. There are a number of traditional hotels close by, but residents of this place are not allowed to use their facilities, some of which are excellent (we used some until told that as we were not staying in such and such a hotel, we could not use their facilities facilities). Even the pool lacked facilities to get drinks or snacks. We cannot recommend this place and would strongly advise travellers to look closely at nearby hotels through which they will and enjoy a more positive experience. We have already decided to return to St. Maarten next year, but will stay in one of the hotels close to this time share complex.
Nice place,got more than expected. Very helpful staff. I got late flight the L let me check out later. Very appreciated for that.
It is a beautiful resort in a great location. The staff very all very friendly and helpful. The view of the beach and all the planes arriving was spectacular. It was very convenient for buses, taxis and shuttles with other beautiful beaches close by. It is 5 minutes from the airport, so no wasting time getting to your resort. Grab an early flight and you can be on the beach by noon. Tortuga beach bar is great and The Driftwood Beach Bsr next door is great too. I will definitely be returning here.
Almost everything to be honest it was a lovely experience.
I didn’t like that check-out was all the way until 4pm, and we came back at 4pm, and the room still wasn’t ready. They tried giving us another room, which I wasn’t happy with because I wanted what I paid for not a ground floor with a garden view. Eventually, a lovely Indian lady said, 'Hold on, they’ll get the room ready for us that we paid for.' We went upstairs to the room; the maids were still cleaning it, and we had to wait about 10 minutes again. When they were done, they said to wait about 2 minutes for the floor to dry. Waiting was the only issue we had because we wanted to relax in the room.
Open ,clean ,comfortable and spacious . The pool was large and clean with plenty of sun beds ,the staff put on activities for those who enjoyed them. The Staff themselves were friendly ,helpful and nothing was too small or too large for them to handle and attentive without being intruding which give a great friendly comfortable atmosphere. AND for all those plane spotters out there the position of the hotel is excellent for the whole St Maarten experience.
Slightly dated but that’s immaterial as the overriding experience was excellent
I absolutely love it here. It’s like paradise!!!! I travel here annually. The staff are very sweet & accommodating!! A travel must!!
hospitable and kind staff, amazing location, very comfortable, great value, delicious pina coladas
Beautiful location on maho beach, swim, eat and watch the planes arrive at the airport. The night life is fantastic with great restaurants and bars. The resort has all the amenities to cook your own meal if needed.

7.8/10Mixed feedback: some rooms described as amazing with great views, but multiple comments note rooms are showing their age, older kitchen appliances, and limited shower pressure/lighting.
