Top Royal Island Hotel Reviews

Tingum Village Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"From the time we arrived it was just incredible. The atmosphere, the rooms and the staff!"

Luxury Grand Villa set in THE DUNES at Sea Oats, Living in the View and Sand.

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing house for friends and family to enjoy the beach and ocean. Highly recommend!"

Codakai the ultimate Spanish Wells family friendly getaway

10/10 Excellent

"Very cool house! Perfect for families as there's plenty of space for kids to run around while you grill and chill. Kitchen is fully equipped to make whatever meal you want. Pretty neat that the house is fully equipped with solar, clean energy! Another perk to this house is it's on a side road so very peaceful. Would definitely recommend this place, and will stay again in the future."

"Steps Away" 3-bedroom with free 6 seater golf cart, Kayak & Paddle board.

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful clean home with everything you need. We loved it so much will definitely be back!"

Sandy Shoes, Russell Island , Bahamas

10/10 Excellent

"This little house is exactly as pictured. It was clean and comfortable. I spent my days swimming around back with a few fishes I befriended. From the deck we saw turtles poking their heads out of the water and even a sting ray! Driving around in a golf cart was so fun and the island is surprisingly quiet in August. Food at all restaurants was delicious."

Boo's Bungalow - Family and Dog Friendly Waterfront, NOT BEACHFRONT, Cottage

10/10 Excellent

"This home is well appointed and has everything you could need for your stay. It was very comfortable for our family and we all really enjoyed our visit. We would definitely book this home next time we visit Spanish Wells/Russell Island!"

Daddy Joes

10/10 Excellent

"Most relaxing trip yet….."

Casa DeDe, Classic Bahamian Home with Panoramic Views of the Ocean

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely house. Close to the beach where you can easily snorkel to a reef. Beds were very comfortable and decor was right up my alley. The daily beach set up made things easy and the house manager went above and beyond. Would stay there again."

The Cove Eleuthera

8/10 Good

"Hello, Having been to many Relais and Chateau properties through out the glove, my expectations were very high. I think The Cove did a great job overall for being in the Bahamas, however for this category of luxury resort, they fell short in many ways: They did not accomodate for an early check in, there were several power outages, internet and WiFi outages, there were water outages, the onsite water craft for excursions was not as clean as would be expected, there was a red ant infestation in our luxury bungalow which required sleeping in another suite for the night while fumigation took place. The staff was lovely, however, these issues need to be addressed."
