I haven’t stayed at Royal Island so can’t offer a comparison but we own at Divi and have stayed there for more than 25 years. We love the great beaches with plenty of chairs and umbrellas, the nice pools and roomy units. We have stayed in almost every building and like that we can request either a view of Great Bay or Little Bay. We like several restaurants in Philipsburg that are a short drive and the trip to the Simpson Bay Area takes us about 10 minutes. I know some like being in the heart of Simpson Bay or Maho, but we love the quiet and privacy of Divi.
