By Vacation Intel
What Is Royalton Luxury Resorts?
Royalton operates family-friendly all-inclusive resorts as well as a dedicated adults-only line called CHIC by Royalton, often at the same destination with separate properties or sections — giving travel groups with different preferences a way to stay near each other while booking the right experience for their trip.
Where Are Royalton Luxury Resorts Located?
Royalton and CHIC by Royalton properties are spread across Jamaica, Antigua, Saint Lucia, the Bahamas, and Mexico’s Riviera Cancun, with additional resorts in the Dominican Republic.
What’s Included at Royalton Luxury Resorts
Rates include all meals and drinks, a daily activity program, and use of pools and beach facilities, with the brand’s “Diamond Club” upgrade adding a private pool area, dedicated restaurant, and priority service similar to concierge tiers at other chains.
Royalton vs. CHIC by Royalton
The core difference within the brand is audience: standard Royalton resorts welcome families and all ages, while CHIC by Royalton properties are adults-only with a quieter, more design-forward atmosphere — both share the same underlying service standard and Diamond Club upgrade option.

Royalton vs. Other Caribbean Chains
Royalton competes with Sandals and Riu Palace properties in the Caribbean adults-only space, generally landing at a lower price point than Sandals while still offering the Diamond Club upgrade path for travelers who want more than the base experience without paying luxury-brand rates.
Because Royalton operates both family and adults-only properties under one company, it’s a useful option for multi-generational trips where part of the group wants a quieter adults-only stay and another part wants a family resort nearby.
Overall, Royalton works well for travelers who want Caribbean adults-only or family options at a more accessible price point than brands like Sandals, with a clear upgrade path if the base experience isn’t enough.
Who Is Royalton Luxury Resorts Best For?
Best for: Couples and families wanting Caribbean all-inclusive flexibility (adults-only or family) at a more moderate price point.
