This was our third time in St Maarten and our first time staying at the Royal Islander La Plage. I can’t imagine staying anywhere else on the island again. The resort was so clean and beautiful. We loved the chairs overlooking the beach and the sparkling clean pool. There were a variety of extra activities available if you felt like it! Easy walking to numerous delicious restaurants. Quiet evenings sitting on our balcony. When our original flights were cancelled due to weather Nina and her staff worked with us to get rebooked. They were calm and oh so helpful! I can’t recommend this place enough and can’t wait to get back!

Paid in advance significantly higher rate for balcony with ocean view, but when arrived was assigned a ground-level garden view room. Smirky check-in agent claimed hotel was full and that there was nothing she could do. Rate was not adjusted to the lower garden view rate. Typical bait and switch. Facility is quite dated and reminiscent of a Motel 6 on a nice beach.

Grounds , landscaping and pool are beautiful, well maintained. Beach is of course very limited in that area, and a bit rough for swimming but beautiful . A lot of chairs, but like most hotels now, people reserve them and are nowhere to be found! No one monitors this Room are very outdated, with few electrical outlets , very basic bedding and pillows , but very clean. We were on ground floor and loved the gardens. Worst thing was our check in! One HOUR to clear up their mistake, with a very rude manager that seemed unhappy with her job! Good hotel when priced right. Loved all the cute cats . Bought food for them.
