Club Service Fees for 2023
The 2022 Advisory Council meetings were held in Cancun during week 42 and the representatives of The Royal Islander, The Royal Sands and The Royal Haciendas met with Management to review the 2022 financial reports and the proposed resort budgets and Club Service Fees for 2023.
At Royal Resorts we work hard to keep the resorts looking beautiful and Club Service Fee increases to a minimum. However, several factors have impacted resort finances this year. As with other countries around the world, Mexico is being hit by inflationary forces and price rises. The year-end inflation rate forecast is 8.5 percent and 5 percent for 2023. Rising prices of natural gas used in the generation of electricity and of other products and services have also had an impact on the resort budget and this is expected to continue next year.
In order to absorb some of the impact, Royal Resorts Management proposed increases in the Club Service Fee at the resorts at the Advisory Council meetings in October and they were approved by the Advisory Council representatives.
In the case of The Royal Sands, The Royal Cancun and The Royal Haciendas, the 2023 Club Service Fee increases apply for fixed week and points members.
The Royal Islander Club Service Fee increase applies only for members with occupancy in 2023.
The Royal Cancun does not have an Advisory Council yet and it will be duly constituted when the resort is 80 percent sold. Management sets the Club Service Fee.

When compared to the timeshare industry, our Club Service Fees are lower than those charged at Westin, Marriott and other major resort chains and cover services such as daily housekeeping, which is not the case in the US, or indeed at other Cancun resorts.
The Advisory Council meeting reports and financial statements will be published in the next edition of Royal Resorts Life magazine in January and online here in the Members Area in the weeks to come.
We hope that this information is helpful, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
