7.6/10

I had a fantastic time at the Royal Islander Club la Terasse! The room was very comfortable and had a full kitchen, which made it easy to prepare meals. Plus, the area is packed with great restaurants, bars, and shops. While the setup is lovely, you should be aware that Wi-Fi and parking incur extra fees, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, though, it's a great spot to relax and enjoy the beach.

I had mixed feelings about my stay at this resort. The location was convenient, being so close to the airport, and I enjoyed the clean, private beach. However, the noise from the nearby club affected my stay, and some of the amenities felt outdated. Overall, it was decent value for the price, but there are definitely areas for improvement.

The Royal Islander La Terrasse is a solid choice for plane enthusiasts, located just steps away from the airport runway. The hotel is clean and comfortable, but the amenities are lacking compared to its sister hotel across the street. The dining options nearby are decent and the area has a charming local feel, but some aspects of the stay-like the noisy club nearby-can be distracting, especially on weekends.

Nestled in Maho, the location can't be beat for plane spotting and there's a nice supermarket nearby, although some dining spots are on the pricier side.

Dining options are within walking distance, but prepare for higher prices. The nearby Deli offered great sandwiches at reasonable prices.

The pool area was lovely but somewhat quiet during our visit. However, the hot tub was not in operation, and the amenities were limited.

My stay at La Terrasse was mixed. The location near Maho Beach is great, especially for plane enthusiasts, and the pool area was quiet and relaxing. However, I encountered many maintenance issues with my unit, and the amenities were lacking, making it hard to understand why this place is labeled as a Gold Crown Resort. Also, the Wi-Fi charges seemed excessive given the limited service provided.

My stay at this hotel was mixed. While the garden terrace pool was beautiful and quiet, the limited amenities and maintenance issues really took away from the experience. The location is great, close to the beach and airport, making it convenient. However, the problems with the room's appliances and Wi-Fi were quite frustrating. Overall, it has potential, but some areas definitely need improvement.
