Now with over 100,000 members, Royal Resorts has been among the top-rated resorts in the world since 1975. Our resorts have received the coveted Five Star Rating from Interval International every year since 1983 when the rating was first established. Since 2008, they have also been classified as Premier Resorts in the Interval International Resort recognition Program, the highest distinction awarded to resorts that offer an outstanding vacation experience.

The Timeshare Users Group first presented its annual Top Ten Worldwide Resort Awards in 1997. Out of 1,544 resorts rated, The Royal Islander, The Royal Caribbean and The Royal Mayan were all in the Top Ten. All three resorts have won awards for each year since and were joined by The Royal Sands in 2001 and The Royal Haciendas in 2008.

We are proud of our tradition of excellence and are committed to maintaining our high standards of service and quality. Always innovators, the developers of Royal Resorts operate their properties as five-star private clubs, limiting use to the members and other guests actually staying there.
