Good day Mr. Ward,
A re-opening date has not yet been confirmed. We are all awaiting an official announcement on said date.
Therefore, I cannot confirm with you on this until it is announced. The projected month that is being looked into is October 2018 but has not been confirmed as yet.
For Royal Islander Club, it looks very promising for 2019.
The Resort is presently undergoing re-painting, renovation and reconstruction and will re-open in late October (date to be announced), late Fall of 2018. Please keep abreast for an update on our re-opening date via our online post on our website at
www.royalislander.com As soon as we have received a confirmed re-opening date we will inform everyone accordingly.
Many of the island business has recovered and are re-opened with normal operations. Some of our beaches are also back to normal, and as beautiful has ever! Our beach is back to normal and also Mullet Beach looks beautiful, I was there last weekend, it looks picture perfect!
Kindest regards,
Marie Fearon
