Rick: Good observation!!! That very well may have been the case!!! :lol: :lol: Tammy: That's one of my favorites too! Stones902: The Royal Mayan, The Royal Islander and the Royal Caribbean are very similar. The Royal Caribbean has the biggest swimming pool. The Royal Sands which is the newest property, has the spa which is great. The Sands is probably the best. However, they are all 5 star properties in my opinion. As far as restautants, I recommend Paco's Taco's at the Royal Islander and Captain's Cove which is across the street from the Royal Caribbean but still apart of the Royals and the Royal Islander has the best breakfast buffet. I loved the fact that you don't need cash at any of the Royal Resorts all you need is your room card key to make purchases. They also have a free shuttle that takes you to all 5 of the Royal Resorts throughout the day. Let me know if you any other specific questions that I can answer.
Ladylegs, Thanks again for your response. I do have a specific question for you. As I mentioned before, we are at the Royal Islander. Do you know if they have a health club / fitness center? If they don't, I understand at least one of the Royal properties has one that we can use. Can you tell me if they have several pieces of equipment or only a couple of treadmills? Also, if there is only one shared fitness center where is it located and how long does it take (by shuttle or otherwise) to get there? Finally, is there a small store nearby that we can walk to and get some liquor and mixers? (Weird, I know but we like to get our workouts in early and relax the rest of the day). Thanks again!!!
I think there is a fairly well equiped fitness center at one of the Tri-Royals. You can go to their website and ask for sure, either of the online help or do an email. The information itself might be found there without contacting them. www.royalresorts.com By the way. . .GREAT trip report. thanks for sharing it.
I don't know if the Royal Islander has a fitness center but I do know that the Royal Caribbean has a very nice fully equipped fitness center that you can use. The Royal sands has a much larger fitness center as well that you can take the shuttle to. all the Royals have a convenient Market on site where you can pick up liquor and mixers. I found the prices to be not that much more than the stores in the Hotel Zone. Have fun!
Natasha, I forgot to ask before ... what kind of camera did you use? That first picture of the resort looks like a postcard, it's beautiful!
