This year’s Advisory Council meetings have concluded and Royal Resorts is please to announce that there will be no change in the member Club Service Fees for 2017. This is the third year running that they will stay the same at all the resorts.
Representatives of the Advisory Boards for The Royal Sands, The Royal Islander, The Royal Haciendas and The Royal Caribbean met with Resort Management and Finance Department representatives in October to review the operating costs during 2016 and the proposed resort budgets for 2017.
Royal Resorts is always looking for ways to improve the vacation experience of its members and guests by adding activities and services and amenities in the villas whenever possible. As a result of savings generated by a currency rate windfall caused by the fluctuation of the peso during 2016, it was able to incorporate a number of new features at the resorts that we hope members will enjoy.

The Advisory Council meeting reports and financial tables will be published in the Members Area of the Royal Resorts website (member log in required) www.royalresorts.com in the weeks to come and in your annual magazine Royal Resorts Life which is published in December. A complimentary copy of the magazine will be waiting for you in your villa during your next visit and an online edition will also be available.
