Update October 23rd 2017.

Here is the current official word from the Royal Islander Club.

Unfortunately due to the severity of the damages sustained by hurricane Irma , Royal Islander Club La Plage and La Terrasse is closed until further notice for renovations. Although we have a tentative date in mind, (summer of 2018) we are still awaiting the final report from the insurance adjusters.
As a precautionary measure RCI is cancelling all reservations for St. Maarten through 2018
