We are also owners at Royal Islander...and have been for over thirty years. There is no better on the island. Location between the two choices is hands down in favor of the Islander. A two minute walk to probably at least a dozen great restaurants...Casino right across the street...nightlife right there too...so if you don't want to get in the car, you don't have to!! Watching the planes during the day is also a BLAST. It never gets old!! As far as the a/c, it has already been repaired! Same with the hot water. If you need anything done there, maintenance will take care of it, usually within ten minutes. Also has the friendliest staff on the island. In my opinion, and loads of other people's opinion also, this one is a no brainer. Royal islander all the way.
