St. Maarten’s Royal Islander Club La Plage Reopens

A fixture on the vacation ownership scene in St. Maarten for 24 years, Royal Islander Club La Plage celebrated its grand re-opening on Saturday, Feb. 14. The resort suffered damage from the passing of Hurricane Omar last October and has spent the past four months bringing the property back, while also adding several amenities.

The new La Plage is enhanced by a variety of upgrades. Redesigned units received new kitchens with modern appliances. Bathrooms got marble countertops, while added mirrors and lighting increase the luminosity of the décor.

As before, all units are adorned with tropical furnishings and design elements accented by woven wicker, bamboo and rattan. Other added amenities include a refreshed pool area with spacious new Jacuzzi.

Royal Islander Club La Plage and La Terrasse have been conferred with the RCI Gold Crown Award for the 24th consecutive year. The award recognizes the level of excellence in a resort’s offering.

Evaluation for the Resort Recognition Program is based on member feedback and comment card ratings. Set on the edge of Maho Bay, the Royal Islander Club features two timeshare and condominium properties: La Plage and La Terrasse. Secluded from the buzz of Maho Village, these enclaves form “resorts within a resort.” More than 40 restaurants and boutiques are just steps away.
