Decent Stay; Some Rude Staff
Great location. Nice pool and nice to have a private section of beach. The rooms were outdated but very spacious and comfortable enough, and thankfully the AC worked great.
Some of the staff wasn't friendly and they definitely weren't helpful... For one, my room wasn't ready at the already late check-in time of 4pm. They also wouldn't budge on checkout time (10am, which is early when you have a late afternoon flight and it's SO hot outside). The man who helped with beach chairs was one of the rudest men I've ever encountered in my travels.

Poor service by a power hungry manager
Our check in lasted over 1&1/2 hrs, we found booking thru 3rd party we are always assigned the inferior rooms. We requested a nicer room never got it (we were told that if we withdrew a previous review from the previous stay a week earlier that we would be given a different room by Ms Lena the manager.) We went to see the room at 2:30 pm it was not made up or cleaned, check out time is 10:00am. We did not move. Royal Islander Resort is part of RCI vacation rental.

Nice but Very Noisy.
Property is very clean and located right where you want to be for Maho beach. Excellent for plane spotting as long as you are above the 2nd floor. The room is very comfortable and the view of the pool and ocean is great! The only problem is, on one of the two sides of the hotel, the bedroom is directly over the road and a bar that blasts music from 8pm to 2am. Don’t expect to sleep other than 2am to about 8 am if you are placed on this side of the hotel.

Excellent location to Maho & mullet beaches! Resort is a little outdated but very clean & comfortable. Like a condo with separate bedroom, living room/dining/kitchen with all appliances & cookware. Great pool, Tortuga restaurant & bar, & steps to Maho beach.
We arrived early & they stored our luggage & gave us towels for beach/pool until we could check in.

Great location
It was a last minute trip but we needed a great hotel. The Royal Islander La Page was terrific. Located right on the beach next to the airport. Our room overlooked the beach…it was wonderful…and had a small kitchen. Staff were very accommodating and helpful. Would definitely recommend.
